Gamers may have borrowed it but it's actually a Biblical reference to Leviticus 10 and the difference between "righteous fire" and "strange fire". When Aaron's sons ignored the prescribed procedures and occasions for burning incense to honor God in Leviticus 10:1-2.mrad85 said:
"Righteous Fire"
That's gamer talk. (I had to google it)
Maybe she has some teenagers running her tweeter?
Quote:
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

I agree with her in principle. DHS should have never been born. But as a practical matter ... can't unring that bell.

"Patriarchy has no gender" is maybe the most amazing case of Orwellian doublethink or doublespeak or whatever that I've ever seen.
You can't be serious. I'm amazed how many people think DHS is just Border Patrol, TSA, and domestic ICE. Many of these agencies were scattered out (TSA was created, and done wrong) and combined. They used to hardly work together. You do realize that US. Customs falls under there, right? How about the portion of ICE that works undercover in cooperation with foreign governments to stop drugs and human trafficking outside our borders?,Aggiebrewer said:
I agree.
get rid of it
let airports / airlines handle security
something tells me her version would mean a cluster flop, govt power grab & make travel even worse
Coast Guard is under DHS as wellB-1 83 said:You can't be serious. I'm amazed how many people think DHS is just Border Patrol, TSA, and domestic ICE.

But that was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's complaint on WNYC's "New Yorker Hour" earlier today. Apparently the stress of having to sit in Congress, as a congresswoman, and endure congressional-type activities is cutting into her real job of being on social media and shedding fake tears over empty parking lots. She said, "I was assigned to some of the busiest committees and four subcommittees. So my hands are full. And sometimes I wonder if they're trying to keep me busy."

She's testifying to Congress now if any wants to tune in. Talking about her trip to the border...
Serious question. Is it perjury for Congress to lie to Congress? You might say that they don't speak under oath, but wouldn't their oath of office apply?Wozlaw said:

She gave herself an out. She said she was told about it (toilet drinking) from ladies there, not that she saw it herself. That way if it's not true, it's on the detainees, not her.Rydyn said:
It should be interesting to have her (already debunked) toilet story and ICE harassment story on record then.
