    I thought the dress was quite beautiful and the text a nice graphic design. I disagree with the message, but would say the designer did a very nice job. Fashion is art though, and therefor subjective.

    I just think so little of her it's impossible for me to interpret anything she does other than a grift. I look at her the same as I do a drug dealer to put it in perspective.

    To be fair, I'll reiterate I don't care She's made herself rich. Good for her. I'm certainly not apologizing for my success in life. Just don't be fake about it

    Tlaib is unapologetically an anti-semite. AOC is a fake member of the squad.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explains why voting 'present' on bill to fund Israel's Iron Dome moved her to tears

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/24/politics/aoc-israel-iron-dome-vote-explanation/index.html

    "Yes, I wept. I wept at the complete lack of care for the human beings that are impacted by these decisions, I wept at an institution choosing a path of maximum volatility and minimum consideration for its own political convenience," the New York Democrat said. "And I wept at the complete lack of regard I often feel our party has to its most vulnerable and endangered members and communities - because the death threats and dangerous vitriol we'd inevitably receive by rushing such a sensitive, charged, and under-considered vote weren't worth delaying it for even a few hours to help us do the work necessary to open a conversation of understanding."
    you know who else wept? Jesus wept.

    You gotta admit the wetworks is nicely calibrated to hide a landmine for future office.

    Does AOC think Manchin's issue with BBB is that there are too many people in West Virginia and he doesn't have time to meet with them and explain the bill? What else could this response mean? Why would the number of people she represents or Manchin represents have anything to do with what he said?

    actually I just think she gets the math wrong, I think she believes her district has more people than West Virginia

    Even if she were right, and West Virginia only had 700,000 people, how would her statement make any sense? Manchin was saying BBB is not something the heavily Republican leaning state would support, thus he couldn't explain his vote for it to the constituents he is meant to represent. It doesn't matter if he has 750,000, 1.7 million, or a billion citizens in West Virginia, nor how many she has in the NY-14.

    Wow, she is really doubling down on this.

    I am not saying she is not sincere with how she feels but being sanctimonious about it is a bad look.
