Mad respect for almost clocking him out on reflex and demanding to keep going.

She was among the first of the current era dems to grow a spine and be hyper critical of Israel. The party almost ate her alive after her “all about the Benjamins” comment. Glad she made it through and is still kickin ass. One of the few major politicians that’s probably actually a Good Person.

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 65 points 5 days ago

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are about the only 2 decent people in congress

[-] mickey@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

At least that gave us Trump's rendition of "Israel has hypnotized the world." I could not imagine dealing with 1/1000th of what Omar or Tlaib have to deal with and not crashing out every day. And ofc while I'm speaking with some levity, this was a real threat to say "we can touch you" and I'm glad for her safety and hope they become more cautious while still getting out there.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 65 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Lol she was about to punch him

[-] mickey@hexbear.net 28 points 5 days ago

I saw that. What is Somali for "What's good with you cuzz?"

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 51 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

So, dude is in favor of people getting executed for interfering with federal officials conducting their business… and interfered with a federal official conducting her business.

I mean, I guess we respect his wishes and give him what he wants..?

you see that fuckin neckbeards face? co existence isnt an option.

[-] GnomeGodsGnomeMasters@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago

Exemplar of the master race. A true specimen.

[-] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

probably used piss from his nearby gatorade bottle at moms house for the syringe

[-] GnomeGodsGnomeMasters@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

It’s about the color I would expect from one of these types

[-] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

"the radical left says to hydrate but im gonna stay a dark piss boy"

[-] tane@lemy.lol 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah these fucking freaks Gotta Go

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 41 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Smells terrible - skunk. The IDF uses it against Palestinians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_(weapon)

nThe company later marketed Skunk to law enforcement agencies worldwide, specifically American local police departments. Several US police departments, including the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, purchased it

[-] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

I had some old socks I wore for a week straight I could've turned into crowd control munitions.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 47 points 5 days ago

These fucking scum are unhinged, my first thought went to lighter fluid to try and kill her or something.

[-] videogame@hexbear.net 48 points 5 days ago

My guess is water mixed with pig fat because he seems like the type of guy stupid enough to think that does something in Islam

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

Pig fat makes sense for these sort of racist goons, who think a Muslim that touches pork will melt like the wicked witch

[-] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 31 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Maybe he was trying to do like an acid attack? But missed and hit her shirt. Or it could be just pee or cum

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

heard "acid attack" got some vinegar from under the sink

[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago

my first thought went to lighter fluid

given the container and volume of substance, mine was corrosive agent, then bioagent or intoxicant

Are you hypothesizing they planned to spray and ignite the fluid?

[-] TauZero@mander.xyz 26 points 5 days ago

That's how they got Kim Jong-nam (Kim Jong Un's brother) in 2017. A syringe filled with nerve gas (in liquid form) sprayed in the face while he was walking through a Malaysian airport. 30 minutes later - dead. The airport staff were confused at first as to what even happened, and assassins were on a flight to Pyongyang before anyone even realized this was an attack.

Not the only time nerve gas sprays to the face have been used for assassination either. Russian agents have killed several people in England in 2018 in an assassination attempt using a spray bottle of nerve gas perfume.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

Are you implying this guy was an agent of the state with access to advanced chemical weapons?

Yeah

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 39 points 5 days ago

Watch her get demonized for almost clocking this idiot.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

I already saw chuds trying to paint her as the aggressor.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago

Like fucking clockwork. A woman so much as raises her voice she is seen as the aggressor

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I never want to hear chuds lecture anyone about personal responsibility.

We’re the ones who actually care about responsibility. If someone fights back against someone trying to assault them, the person who assaulted the other first is not the victim and deserves whatever punishment the person defending themselves comes up with.

Look at us, we’re the “tough on crime” crowd now.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I never want to hear chuds ~~lecture anyone about personal responsibility~~.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 34 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)
[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago

maybe edit the title to say sprayed? I initially thought it was about a shooting with a gun. Is this post reacting to seeing it live?

[-] Clippy@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

my bad, i thought it was a water gun, apparently it was a syringe

[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

I wonder if we'll find out what the smell was and/or what the composition of the mixture in the syringe was

[-] Kefla@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

Considering the guy got grabbed real quick, I'm sure they got the syringe. Unless the local cops are so openly corrupt as to disappear it I guess

[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

no worries

thanks for fixing the timestamp (for me it's not -58:32, but a smaller number)

[-] Clippy@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

i keep trying to adjust it but they keep changing it, sorry but it did happen in this video

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

And she stayed up talking fuckin legend

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

damn that is the most botted youtube comment section of all time (or are they all like that now? it's not like I check very often)

[-] WokePalpitoad@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

YouTube comments have been famously bad since like 2009, maybe even the since the start. It seems like there's a type or cluster of types who hang out on YT and comment some of the most disgusting drivel 24/7 on any kind of video, but especially political ones.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago
[-] Clippy@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

thank you the timestamp option wasn't offered to me

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
