A feminist sharia supporter? only in america
apparently one of the womens march organizers is a muslim american woman - great, nothing wrong with that.
but it turns out she's also a supporter of sharia law .... you know that thing where you stone adulters to death, cut off peoples hands and kill homosexuals... and a woman's testimony is literally worth half a mans testimony and you must produce 4 male witnesses for any claim of rape ....


Honestly the one speaker who had kidnapped, tortured, and sodomized a man for a week straight while holding him for ransom and murdering him anyway and spent 27 years in prison- I think she was the more egregious example
These decentralized movements really bring out the shitbags with no vetting, because if you're not organized, you can't choose your supporters, and they're as much your spokeswomen as anyone.

i've been trying to get to the bottom of how people really feel about trump not releasing his tax returns and i've looked to brietbart to get some real insight on the matter

in lieu of mudslinging between the left and right, i've saved us the trouble and captured some open dialogue and candid confessions on the matter from the comments section of brietbart

would any resident liberal or conservative like to comment on whether or not they have a position on this matter that was not captured in the exchange below :o ?

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/01/22/conway-trumps-not-going-release-tax-returns/


I'm going to be blunt and honest: I don't care.

I care about domestic policy. I care about geopolitics. I care about making sure enough technocrats are in place in the bureaucracy to ensure evidence-based executive policy and enforcement decisions.

Why would I care about the tax returns of a billionaire? Nothing would surprise me. Most people have done something wrong, whether accidentally or purposefully, on their taxes. And if he did release them and something were found, like he itemized too much stuff and paid no taxes for years, it would just be a news cycle. It would be little more than media sound bytes and echo chambers.

I'm very much against the strategy the Democrats and the media noise machine are employing right now. As a consultant and strategist, I think shit-tossing, blame-based, emotionally charged campaign strategies are only effective for short term gains in specific situations. There is a better way, but the Democrats have chosen not to take the high road. And trying to get a rich guy to release his taxes so another media cycle can be set off, inciting public rage for a few weeks until the next thing comes along, is just worthless, pointless organizing that ties up field organizers, volunteers, and the media in an endless cycle of pointless 80 hour weeks that get them nowhere.

looks like someone is making a joke without knowledge on the condition of the person or any noticeable maliciousness

I think it is good a person brought that up but I also don't think the person should be attacked for joking based on what I see in the pic. Looks like a good learning opportunity rather than one that should be used in such sloppy and hacky meme form

'Manspreading' is a non-issue, often times its the only way for men to sit with some level of comfort especially on a plane. You and I are both quite tall so im sure you have 'manspreaded' before. I have to on most airplane seats or else im kneeing the seat in fromt.
seeing someone with a belt tied on their legs would make a reasonable individual think 'oh that person has a condition' not "lol look at that male being in manspreading recovery"

I agree with you it's not a joke I would have made but I also know the information that the person may not have.

My point isn't that the joke was fine it's that people approach each other wrong so rather than improving we enter battle after battle to defend ourselves
