This is nothing a few well-placed drone strikes can’t resolve. It was Barry who agreed to drone strike American citizens with nary a peep of protest from his unquestioning lapdog media.

Treat these thugs like they were ISIS.

Burn her and throw her in the Ganges, just so she feels at home.

Wonder who’s outfitting the ‘armed protesters’ pictured in the link. Those two young thugs didn’t get that equipment on their own.

Did the b*tch Kshama Sawant come here on an H1B visa? I can't find anything at all on her immigration here. I believe she came here in 2000. Is she even a citizen? Her mother was a principal. Her father was killed by a drunk driver when she was 13. Her husband is Calvin Priest who runs the socialist organization 15Now, from which it is said her family get a salary. They were involved in getting the $15 an hour minimum wage enacted.

15Now

Also, an article from an interview of her back in 2015:

Time for an immigration fraud check and then kicking her communist ass out of the country, on or off an airplane.

Today, I read a piece by Dr. Samartya Sen, Nobel Laureate in Economics on Coronavirus (but which applies here) that Ms. Sawant clearly missed:

Tackling a social calamity is not like fighting a war which works best when a leader can use top-down power to order everyone to do what the leader wants — with no need for consultation. In contrast, what is needed for dealing with a social calamity is participatory governance and alert public discussion... The different types of hazards from which different groups suffer have to be addressed, and this is much aided by a participatory democracy, in particular when the press is free, public discussion is unrestrained, and when governmental commands are informed by listening and consultation...Listening is central in the government’s task of preventing social calamity — hearing what the problems are, where exactly they have hit, and how they affect the victims. Rather than muzzling the media and threatening dissenters with punitive measures (and remaining politically unchallenged), governance can be greatly helped by informed public discussion.

Barry O droned a US Citizen in the ME whilst the yute was acting out his jihadi urges.

Killed him good and dead he did.

” ... migrating to the U.S. where she was radicalized by the inequality and poverty she saw ...”

She originally came to the US to cure her total blindness in her native India which was apparently successful.
