Uh oh, Rep. Ilhan Omar may have crossed another line and went too far

[ck4829]

Apparently "shawarma" is applied highly disciplined Sharia law that is not unlike the Dark Side of the Force and it's power is unstopp...

Oh wait, what? Never mind. It's food.

[Agschmid]

1. Oh boy...

[herding cats]

2. 🤣

Well played!

[abqtommy]

3. The only way to deal with the bully culture

is to fight back, and punch hard! Kudos to Ms. Omar!

[Initech]

4. Come on! Even Iron Man and Captain America eat shawarma.

[Leith]

27. That's the first thing I thought of, too!

I heard somewhere that this scene was a real lunchtime for the actors and they just filmed it.

[Initech]

31. Hey there's a shawarma place 3 blocks from here. I don't know what it is but I want to try it!

[Dave Starsky]

48. It was a real scene. The actors came back to do it.

It wasn't even in the movie when it first premiered in L.A.

They had to make a special prosthetic for Chris Evans, because he had already grown a beard for the movie Snowpiercer. You can still see him covering up his lower face with his hand.

[safeinOhio]

5. Gyros for everyone.

Yum

[ck4829]

7. "Gyros? What is that? Some sort of spinning wheel of death thing that socialists use?!"

/Trump cult mode off.

[PatrickforO]

43. Well...the ones I recently had at Arby's were.

Not socialistic, per se, but definitely wheels of death.

Good gyros - now that's another thing.

[ck4829]

49. Only the good ones are socialist

[forgotmylogin]

22. Watch out MAGAts!

You don't want none of this...



(Shawarma roasted cauliflower for vegans!)

[bdamomma]

36. yummy

better than the junk food tRump eats. Oh, tRump hopefully will have continuous health problems with the shit he eats.

[PatrickforO]

44. You know what's ironic?

Many of the working poor are obese and in bad health because they eat lots of fast food - it is a cheap and quick meal in the hour or two before going to the second job.

Trump is supposedly a billionaire but he has a poor man's taste in food.

[babylonsister]

6. And it's delicious, in many countries! nt

[barbtries]

19. In Spain it's delicious.

Granada. My only trip to Europe in my whole life.

[guillaumeb]

8. Recommended.

Amazing how ignorance makes up such a large part of racism.

On reflection, it is not really amazing.

[FloridaBlues]

9. Love shawarma!!

[ck4829]

50. Oh no

[left-of-center2012]

11. What is a "step-step grandmother"?

[leftieNanner]

13. You've never heard of Dub Step?

My daughter told me about it ages ago.

[left-of-center2012]

15. What is a "step-step grandmother"? n/t

[leftieNanner]

16. I don't know

I was just being snarky. It makes no sense to me.

Dub step is a kind of music.

[MoonchildCA]

23. We had step-step cousins.

If I follow that logic, it would be, for instance, your step-mom’s step-mother.

[rzemanfl]

30. No clue, but I had a father-in-law twice removed.

He got divorced from my wife's mother. His daughter then divorced me.

[Mariana]

25. If I have a stepmother, and she has a stepmother.

Then my stepmother's stepmother is my step-step grandmother.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

12. Much better and far more classy than sending them McDonald's!

..........

[magicarpet]

18. Or serving cold McDonald's and Wendy's hamburgers...

...to guests in the dinning room of the people's White House.

Here, try the french fries,.. they are ice cold and stale.

[ornotna]

14. I've been partaking

in Sharia law for over 50 years now. Yummy!

[stevil]

17. A shawarma with falafel balls is where it's at.

Extra sauce. Add the juice. You likah the juice? Juice is good.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. She can give me shawarmas any time...

[Danmel]

21. We actually had schwarma for dinner tonight

With babagnoush, hummus and laffa bread. Yummy.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Please send your grandmother a good recipe for chicken shawarma.

[drray23]

26. Not funny. That's how hateful memes get started.

We get the joke because we aren't brain dead rwingers. However sharing things like that that are meant to be sarcastic are not so much for rwingers.

Next thing you know the twitterverse is on fire with rumors that rep. Omar has threatened members of the GOP. Never mind that the original was a joke.

[Leith]

28. Hateful memes are started when

reichwingers and hackers make them up. NOT when somebody posts a joke on DU.

[ck4829]

29. Look, that's going to happen either way

If it already hasn't, a lot of them were fuming after she took Elliott Abrams to task.

So I say: Take what they say, what they plan to say... and mock it, stretch it out.

[lunatica]

32. I want some of that!

[Grokenstein]

33. Some buttnugget in my local giveaway fishwrap

I can't link because it's behind a signup, but this trumpkin--who points out that he himself is an immigrant, a South African immigrant who fled here forty years ago for reasons he doesn't go into but which you can probably guess--referred to Rep. Omar as, among other things..."smirking."

"Smirking."

Dude, I'm not gonna tell you to "go back where you came from" but you really need to take a good, hard look at Trump's face when he's attacking a person's ethnicity, or mocking someone with disabilities, or dry-humping the flag, and check your damn projection.

[GoCubsGo]

34. Shawarma is delicious!

I wish I was on her list. I'd love some!

"Musslamic." That's a new one on me.

[ck4829]

35. You know... "Muslin", "Islams", "Middle Eastern Mexicans", etc.

[klook]

45. Apparently "the Mexican countries" extend farther than I realized!

Soon there will be shawarma taco trucks on every corner!

[Celerity]

55. Those exist in South America for ages

tacos árabes

London too, via cultural osmosis.

[klook]

56. Cool - thanks for the culinary tip.

I should bring some of these to Thanksgiving dinner with the Republican kin folks!

[Celerity]

57. They will love them, so jummi.

[tclambert]

37. Oh, no! Now we're all gonna have to follow Shawarma Law! That's where everybody has make their

sandwiches with only one piece of bread, right?

[Stonepounder]

38. I had never heard of Shawarma, but it turns out there is a restaurant

that's just a couple of miles from us that is getting great reviews. Definitely going on to 'give it a try and soon' list!

[GreenReaper]

39. Omar is a supporter of Hummus!!!

I am certain that she is a secret member of the chickpea liberation organizaton. I bet all those female congress members are members of the chickPLO.

[GP6971]

41. Welcome to DU and

enjoy your stay!!

[klook]

46. LOL, good one!

And she wants to require that all American signs be printed in both English and her native tongue, baba ghanoush!

P.S. Welcome to DU!!

[Brother Buzz]

51. Garbanzo bean guerrillas, Baby.

[Tanuki]

53. Funny! Welcome to DU!

[ProudLib72]

40. I can't have it. I'm vegetarian

[klook]

47. See post 22.

Roasted cauliflower, yummeee! I bet there are other veggie versions as well.

[ProudLib72]

54. I used to eat it all the time when I was a kid and lived in Saudi

I guess I could make it with vegie chicken strips.

[PatrickforO]

42. Shawarma is really good.

I like chicken!

And falafel - let's not forget that.

And some nice hummus on fresh baked pita bread.

Some fresh veggies, steamed. a bit of rice.

[panader0]

52. When I was working in San Diego there was place next door

to the motel that sold shawarma. I loved it.
