SkyDekker 1,127 #101 January 11, 2019 DJLAnd this is the same world where those same people talk about how Melania is the pinnacle of classiness despite having posed in underwear most of her life. Now there's nothing wrong with that there's just this thing called the Madonna/Whore complex that ...some people... are exhibiting. Indeed. Circulating pictures the first lady posed for and was paid for is very unbecoming. Circulating fake pictures of AOC worthy of a chuckle and indicative of why she is no good for her position. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really do think when all is said and done, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will have an encyclopedia full of weird and bizarre statements and claims she has said. Like recently when she claimed the world will end in 12 years because of global warming. As for her statement about government shutdowns not being normal, didn't Obama shut the government down 4 times during his 8 years, including once over his precious but deeply flawed Obamacare?

" The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/08/global-warming-must-not-exceed-15c-warns-landmark-un-report "A Facebook post said that Obama shut down the government in 2013 to force Obamacare. There are a couple of key differences between then and today. First, leading Republicans, including Ryan, noted that Obamacare largely would move forward even if some elements were defunded. In that sense, Obama was not fighting to "force" Obamacare, because he didn’t need to. Second, in 2013, two issues, Obamacare and the debt ceiling, were on the table. In 2018, funding for the wall stands alone. In 2013, a compromise on the debt ceiling cleared the way to reopen the government. There is also a legal difference. In 2013, Obamacare was already law. Funding for the wall is not. The situation in 2013 was more complicated than today. Obama, like Trump, aimed to protect a favored policy. But he also wanted to raise the debt limit, an issue of at least equal importance. We rate this claim Half True." Obama 2013 and Trump 2018. Are the shutdowns the same? Not exactly Oh well 1/2 right out of two ain't bad! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,345 #110 January 24, 2019 Well, it wasn't Obama shutting the government down. It was the Republican Senate. They kept refusing to pass spending bills because... They didn't want to raise the debt ceiling. Or spend extra money. Remember the "Super Committee" that was going to sort out the budget and 'make hard decisions'?

pchapman 261 #114 January 24, 2019 In any case, respected main stream media do take her to task if she oversimplifies things and makes erroneous statements. E.g.,what she said about US workers and minimum wages and living wages. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/24/ocasio-cortezs-misfired-facts-living-wage-minimum-wage/ (May need to turn Javascript off if one has exceeded one's free article views.)

Juan Williams: America needs radical solutions Juan Williams is an author, and a political analyst for Fox News Channel. Juan is right on the money with this opinion. I don't think that AOC has the sun rising and setting on her head. But the ideas she brings forth to address the issues and concerns that Mr. Williams mentions. Are the same ones that many trump voters are concerned about. Absent the racist and religious bigotry of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 911 #120 February 23, 2019 Breitbart investor Rebekah Mercer, installs Billboard in Times Square, Blaming Amazon HQ withdrawal on AOC "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is hitting back at a critical billboard funded by a conservative group that was displayed in Times Square on Wednesday. The billboard blames Ocasio-Cortez for Amazon’s decision to back out of its plans to open part of its second headquarters, called HQ2, in Queens.... “Thanks For Nothing, AOC!” the sign reads. Ocasio-Cortez was vocal in her support of local activists who opposed Amazon’s move to the city. " Setting aside the issue of the Amazon HQ. This just goes to show how all these billionaires on the right fear her and her message. That they might have reasonable taxes attached to themselves and their business. Trump’s National Emergency Is Great News for Future President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez " By now, we’ve all become numb, alarmingly so, to the nutty ideas the president of the United States has floated or in some cases enacted to undermine the basic norms of our democratic institutions: firing FBI personnel on various pretexts, discounting election results he doesn’t like, befriending vicious dictators, claiming judges are biased based on their ethnicity, alleging massive voter fraud without evidence, ignoring intelligence findings he doesn’t agree with, and on and on and on. But as bizarre and dangerous as these have been, his plan to declare a national emergency is by far the absolute worst. ... I used to laugh when my more progressive friends warned me that Trump wanted to turn America into a third-world banana republic. He’d never pull that off, I’d tell them. The Constitution will stop him. Members of Congress will stop him. The GOP will stop him. Now, I’m the one who is the fool. I’ve tried very hard to restrain myself from frantic pronouncements, but this national emergency declaration is the closest my friends have ever come to seeing their worst fears realized.
