2. She might be running her campaign from a jail cell

is an understatement.

More on her:

She added: “If I was guilty of crimes, I would never run for public office, putting myself in the public eye under a microscope to be attacked by all political sides.”
An attorney for Stella, Joshua London, declined to comment.
Stella is accused of stealing 279 items valued at $2,327.97 from a Target store in Edina, to the south-west of Minneapolis, on 8 January this year. She was arrested for the alleged theft after security staff called the police.
A criminal complaint filed to Hennepin county district court alleged Stella was seen leaving the store without paying for most of her haul, after “scanning only a few other items” that were valued at about $50.

3. "Trump-loving Republican challenging Ilhan Omar faces felony theft charges..."

“...from shoplifting arrests.”

She’s got at least one DUI, and she’s also completely into the Q-Anon bullshit, which makes her the PERFECT Republican!

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/25/1874431/-Trump-loving-Republican-challenging-Rep-Omar-faces-felony-theft-charges-from-shoplifting-arrests
Per dailykos, July 25, 2019:
Republicans are really drawing the best people these days. For example, take Daniella Stella, the Trump-loving Minnesota woman who is trying to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. She has fully embraced the ridiculously absurd Qanon conspiracy theories (read more about that below.)

But, it turns out the congressional hopeful also has a criminal history. The Guardian has the goods:
Stella is accused of stealing 279 items valued at $2,327.97 from a Target store in Edina, to the south-west of Minneapolis, on 8 January this year. She was arrested for the alleged theft after security staff called the police.

A criminal complaint filed to Hennepin county district court alleged Stella was seen leaving the store without paying for most of her haul, after “scanning only a few other items” that were valued at about $50.

$2,327.97 from a Target? That’s a lot of stolen stuff. It’s hard to imagine executives or employees of Minneapolis-based Target Stores supporting her election campaign.

The Target theft wasn’t her first time getting busted for shoplifting.

Officers in nearby Bloomington then arrested Stella on 28 April after she was allegedly seen by security staff at a Cub Foods grocery store stealing a bottle of tick spray for cats, and placing other items “under her purse so that they could not be seen”.

The shoplifting incident isn’t the only time she’s been arrested, either.

Court records say that in 2009, Stella pleaded guilty to driving while impaired from alcohol and fleeing a police officer. The latter charge was prosecuted as a felony but later classified as a gross misdemeanour as part of Stella’s plea.

she is following her leader's example! Being a criminal is so MODERN! SO MAGA!

Her problem is that she didn't think big enough!

She should be elevated to serve as the poster child for Trump’s Neo-Nazi Dumbfuckistan. #SoNotMAGA


Seriously, they gotta go— they’re getting itchy for a scrap.

is usually a brunette

Karen McDougal as well.

Of course, you have Ivana, Marla Maples, Ivanka and Stormy Daniels as blondes. But, not sure Ivanka is a natural blonde - wasn't she a brunette as a teen?

she was saying. I think she's just trying to be an internet sensation or something. Like that kid of "Aunt Becky's" who had to have her parents bribe the school she didn't even want to go to.

I say that because there are a significant number of people who think, even after her recent arrest for Shoplifting, that she is prefeerable to her opponent, ONLY because her opponent doesn't worship the god of Abraham in the "right way".


This nation has devolved intellectually so far, that I fear it will take decades to recover.
