republicans must be getting stodgier to attack a congresswoman when she was a college student gets together with some friends to do a cute music video borrowing some iconic scenes from The Breakfast Club. Me... it made me like her more.
just played that a couple of times at full volume . . . couldn't make out any boos. Do you have a better audio version of that?
Right after she said Pelosi, and then more after her vote for Pelosi was announced. She then looks over to someone sitting by her and laughs.
AOC unveils her tax plan https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/04/ale...ats-wealth-tax-to-pay-for-green-new-deal.html
AOC, just one of many, has some fringe beliefs, no doubt. It's the purpose of the House to have this diversity of opinion. Where was the outrage when GOP Good Ol' Boy Rep. Gohmert said these things? (not even gonna mention Ron Paul or the other non-Texan loonies): ”I had this discussion with some wonderful, caring Democrats earlier this week on the issue of, well, they said ‘Surely you could agree to limit the number of rounds in a magazine, couldn’t you? How would that be problematic?’… And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? What’s wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it’s kind of like marriage when you say it’s not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?" ....... The Supreme Court said…‘We are your God. Forget what God, Moses, Jesus ever said, we are your God now, the five of us in the majority, you do as we tell you.’ We have two of them [Ginsburg and Kagan] who had done same-sex marriages before they participated, they were disqualified, but they illegally participated, it’s an illegal decision, and it’s time to start impeaching judges and remove them from the Supreme Court.” ...... “I’ve had people say, ‘Hey, you know, there’s nothing wrong with gays in the military. Look at the Greeks.’ Well, you know, they did have people come along who they loved that was the same sex and would give them massages before they went into battle. But you know what, it’s a different kind of fighting, it’s a different kind of war and if you’re sitting around getting massages all day ready to go into a big, planned battle, then you’re not going to last very long.” ....... ”I talked to a retired FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system. And it appeared they would have young women, who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby. They wouldn’t even have to pay anything for the baby. And then they would turn back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day, twenty…thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life.”
time for AOC and the Dems to grow up "But now comes decision time. Will Ocasio-Cortez and fellow hard-liners become the left’s version of the Freedom Caucus? Will they object to H.R. 1, the Democrats’ ethics and voting-rights package, because it doesn’t go far enough in banning corporate money? Will they withhold support for bills unless they can force votes on Medicare-for-all and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement? Or will the firebrands build support for their causes without forcing vulnerable colleagues to cast suicidal votes on bills that won’t become law?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...898adc28fa2_story.html?utm_term=.eb1c0651e89a
he's not wrong, she gets the issue intuitively but doesn't seem to care about the details, and the way she talks about it is part exaggeration, part hyperbole and part bs, she's never going to pass the "fact checkers" nor do i think she cares to, but it's entertaining as hell. I like this woman for the same reason i like Trump.
Alright, look. Don’t bump this thread about this first term house member unless it’s another dancing video. Thanks, -Management
