EYELINER MANHOOD?

Submitted by ub on

From the Saudi desert, Jordan and Palestine, kohl is used forbspecial occasions such as weddings, childbirth, and religious celebrations. 

What exactly is going on with JD Vance’s lashes? Sootily outlined with a dense fringe, his eyes caught the attention of many debate watchers who wondered if Vance was into  eyeliner.

Some Muslims consider the wearing it to be Sunnah meaning the way of the Prophet Muhammad given he was said to have worn a form of it to treat his eyes medicinally.

The tradition also finds its origins in various communal practices, including those of the Bedouin, the nomadic peoples of the Arabian deserts. 

There, kohl is traditionally applied not only along the waterlines, for its aesthetic appeal, but also around the entire eye area — beneath the lower lash line and sometimes above the upper lash line. The application has a dual purpose: to enhance the beauty of the eye, and to provide protection against the sun’s glare, wind, and sand. This reverence for kohl is mirrored in Saudi Arabia, where some men such as the “Flower Men” of the Qahtan tribe wear it to honor their tribal heritage.

Meanwhile, Trump and JDVance say they will:

Prosecute enemies. They are angry because of being held to the rule of law from the criminal justice system with sentencing coming on November 26th.

Order mass deportations. They loathe immigrants as well as migrants and will use soldiers against citizens.

They think NATO is a "country club".

Play politics with disasters just ask the people of Puerto Rico who are U.S. Citizens.

How low have we sunk? What has happened to the Republican Party?
