Panic and confusion

This morning I went to check the political blogs, which is something I do to make myself feel queasy before lunch (it's a weight loss technique).  Here's what I saw over at Crooks and Liars:  ILHAN OMAR'S REPUBLICAN OPPONENT HAS WARRANT ISSUED FOR HER ARREST.

Nothing surprises me anymore, not even a bunch of Republican Congressmen rioting in defense of their completely innocent and endlessly persecuted Dear Leader.  Remember when disabled citizens gathered outside McConnell's office to protest the gutting of the Affordable Care Act, and were arrested and hauled away?  Literally, handcuffed to their wheelchairs?  Adam Schiff "conferred" with the Sergeant at Arms, but nobody laid a hand on these chuckleheads.  They even got an "attaboy" from Trumpelthinskin, who is excited by violence as long as the bodily fluids don't splash on his polished boots (yes, Himmler reference, got a problem?).  I hope the Speaker is only waiting for the casket of Elijah Cummings to depart the Capitol before throwing her shoe at them.  Because this is worse than party operatives shutting down the Florida recount two decades ago.  The more Republicans get away with, the more they will dare.  Brattiness is their super-power.

Which brings me back to that headline.  Minnesota isn't Texas, but I thought it was at least possible that someone found a judge who would issue a warrant based on the hateful gibberish spewed about Rep. Omar  (She  works for ISIS!  She married her brother!  She killed Jimmy Hoffa!).  Turns out it was just a badly-worded headline.  The warrant was issued for her opponent, noted local shoplifter Danielle Stella, who missed a court appearance for, I'm sure, a good reason, like somebody put a Muslim curse on her and turned her car keys into a Rubik's cube.

So, lunch.  Does anyone want to split a tuna on rye?
