Plus he would not get credit for ending the war... but then I'm sure some other democrat would take credit.

Given the way he ended the war I doubt if any of them have the guts to stand up and say it was the right decision.
Say, wouldn't it be fun to give AOC, and really the whole Congress, a history test? And an economics test too. Micro econ, something that can't be debated.
She'd have answers on there that would end up on one of those youtube videos of funniest test answers. those videos are usually full of answers from 6-12 year olds, but I bet hers would fit right in.
Of course if the Left gets its way we'll simply have a Cultural Revolution and purge all those false and misleading facts from schools and books.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses pricey croissants to criticize opponents of $15 minimum wage
https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/al...s-minimum-wage
I wanna know why she is at Laguidaria. Why not Grand Cental Station and catch a train?
And who the hell think the price of ANY airport food is relevant. If the point is that a croussant cost $7 hence we should pay everybody at least $15...do that and your Airport Pastry is $20....and $1.50 at the corner bakery
every day is a new adventure
Ocasio-Cortez slammed as 'financially illiterate' at Sharpton event over Amazon, faces calls to be ousted from office
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/oca...ed-from-office
and she now speaks ebonic---- "Aint nothing wrong with that" but she forgot to end with the N word.........shiiiii
AOC mocked for ‘accent’ at Sharpton event; compared to Hillary Clinton
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/aoc...illary-clinton
I wonder if voters in her district are beginning to figure out she’s a financial moron? Even doubly worse that she actually has an economics degree......
She's going to have an interesting re-election race. At least 2 people have announced they are running against her, and her running off Amazon had a lot of detractors in her district that wanted that company coming in with those jobs.
she's now got off the charts name recognition and national cred, but is she delivering what her constituents really want? Given that district was held forever by a Democratic moderate I have to wonder if her base is anywhere near this radical.
with a few exceptions most districts care more about fundamental things like jobs and health care than her tripe. I'm betting she gets a couple of interesting challengers, one in the primary and one in the general even though it's a strongly Democratic district.
Her primary challenger will be her biggest problem.
Muslims were so ticked off at terror attacks against muslims in New Zealand, that they decided to blow up part of the Philippines. We should definitely lift the ban on muslims wanting to enter this country and make sure they all live on the same block in DC with AOC.

AOC dunks on Kentucky Republicans for posing next to a cardboard cutout of her.
Only problem is, that's no Kentucky Republican--that's John Yarmuth, Democrat Congressman from KY-3 and House Budget Committee Chairman:

I think that's what is known as an "own goal."
He's white and male, that's enough to trigger people these days. lol.
You would think she'd bother to know the most important Committee Chairs, but then again you'd think she wouldn't think the Pentagon had mis-spent $92 trillion in the past several years when the entire Federal Budget is less than $4 trillion.
Other graduates of her university should sue for some kind of economic damage from her showing herself to be so jaw droppingly dumb and still got a degree.
How do you make AOC's eyes twinkle? Shine a flashlight in her ear.
This gem happened Thursday and stayed up for a good bit until she was called out for Yarmuth being a Democrat lol
Attachment 7989
While the law defines (technically there are 4 key statutes). improper payments in broad strokes, many of those dollars were not misspent. They just don’t have all the proper documentation to support the dollars were spent appropriately.
A correct payment could be late and would be counted improper. A payment might require three signatures and the paper trail has two.
On the flip side a payment could be late or may not have been paid at all for several years incurring fines, interest, etc. the payment will be defined as improper but the fines and interests, provided they are paid accurately and timely, would not be considered a part of the improper payment. Although the actual improper payment may cost tax payers more than what is actually listed.
I saw this morning on Twitter that she was calling for Barr to resign. I replied to her tweet and told her “the only thing you know about Barr is that you used to serve drinks in one”.
Speaking of dumb.... I'll give a vote to Omar as a close runner up on the stupid chart.
Trump "biggest nemisis"?
I suspect the Donald could not a give a **** about a freshman senator who only makes Trump look better because she says more stupid stuff than he does. And I love self proclaiming people.
Trump loves Omar and AOC. They are doing everything they can to frighten middle of the road voters in key states that voting for a Democrat will bring real socialism, anti-semitism etc. into fruition. And if they were in charge that's exactly what we'd see, they're pretty honest about it.
The best thing that could happen for Trump is for them to keep the base all inflamed so they wont' vote for a nice moderate like Biden and they end up with Bernie. Then the GOP can run ads of Bernie's endorsement of Castro and Che all day long. Will suit him fine.
Wow, didn't know what a garbage disposal was.
I love her attempt to be hip with slang. Using a word derived from "bourgeois" to describe where she lives. Holding up the Communist/Socialist mantra well though: criticize the rich and powerful as a means to become rich and powerful, all the time whining about the poor while you enjoy the good life.
I'm glad they included this one:
But AOC has an explanation for her string of errors and gaffes and just plain dumb statements. In a CNN appearance the day after she was sworn into office, she said: “I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
That sums it up right there. The actual facts aren't important to her, or her ilk. What is important is what they believe, and if the facts just get in the way then ignore them.
She really is this dumb, and she's a member of Congress.
Oh, and if this doesn't make the case for the relative lack of value of a college education, and the massive investment it requires, nothing does.
Seriously, she has a college degree in economics and she thinks the Pentagon wasted $92 Trillion dollars over 10 years. They wasted $9.2 trillion a year with a total federal budget of only half that amount.
Honestly she shouldn't have passed high school with her level of intelligence, much less college. it's proof positive you can get through 4 years of college and be a complete idiot and not learn a damned thing, so the degree tells us absolutely nothing about the capabilities of a person, so what value does it really have?
As a credential it's worthless. You can certainly go to college and learn a lot, and really take advantage of all it has to offer. Or you can go and get the same piece of paper and come out dumber than you were when you started. But the paper tells you nothing b/c it doesn't really require you ever develop critical thinking skills or common sense. It lets the idiots through as well as the geniuses, and they both end up with the same paper.
If I was a Boston U grad I'd sue her for devaluing my degree.
Ocasio-Cortez 'entertaining' idea of endorsing 2020 Democratic candidate, possibly Sanders or Warren
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/oca...izabeth-warren
The kiss of death?
One thing I will say, the idea of capping interest rates credit card companies can charge is something I can get on board with. 20 plus percent is almost loan sharking at best, thievery at worse. But so is extorting money from banks to pay for your ludicrous give-a-ways to buy votes
She suggested that capping card rates was "radical". Honestly that's the only thing out of her mouth I've ever heard that is at least NOT radical.
The only difference, and IMO it is a big difference, is those are state laws. I googled and about half of the US states have usury laws of some kind, so this isn't a new concept.
But yes she'll mess it up, on several levels. First, if you cap them too low all you do is hurt people who have bad credit b/c they simply won't get credit cards. They are higher risk, companies have to charge more to cover the higher rate of default.
That's like the cash for clunkers program. It only hurts those it portends to help by cutting them completely out of the market.
Second, no doubt they'll pile on a bunch of other regs and details and filing requirments, and then want to somehow raise government revenue from it and spend it on something else.
But it's not a radical concept. I'm against it, the market can work just fine on its own if they just do more to deregulate the hyper high costs of entering financial markets rather than adding more regulation, but it's not radical.
She is smart enough to have at least 10 "uncle Joes" fawning over her like a pack of male mutts sniffing around a bitch in heat.

Oh, she's got the Dems wrapped on her little finger, other than Pelosi.
It's like watching the dumb hot chick getting asked by 10 guys to prom.
And my she is dumb.

Thanks for posting that Dan.
"It costs $93 trillion dollars. do you know how much that is? Me either, b/c it's totally worth it."
not sure if this is a parody or of they're just reading AOC quotes.
For the love of Pete...

Growing Cauliflower instead of yucca offends "people of color" b/c it's "colonial".
Can this get any more stupid? It's flat depressing people actually buy into this complete lunacy. It's the mental equivalent of believing wrestling is real. It's dumber than that really.
Do we sue Italy for cultural appropriation next since they stole tomatoes from the Americas? Am I allowed to eat corn since I'm an European oppressor?
I think a big chunk of this country is just too stupid. They're holding back the evolution of the species.
Every time this woman opens her mouth to speak, a book in a library somewhere bursts into flames.

Detention facilities = Concentration camps?
When in doubt, bring out the old Godwin's Law!
Lets see the differences.
1) I don't recall any Jews sneaking across the boarder into Poland or Czechoslovakia voluntarily knowing that they were likely to end up in a concentration camp
2) I don't recall Nazi concentration camps providing medical treatment (unless you consider Josef Mengele's experiments as medical treatment)
3) Detention camp occupants are not forced laborers
4) Detention camp occupants are not starved or forced to eat their valuable, and then have dig thru their own waste to retrieve them
5) Don't recall hearing about those in detention camps having their teeth pulled in order to retrieve the gold fillings
"Do not worry, it is only a chemical shower...."
Surely she isn't that big of an idiot....or maybe she is.
I'll add
route they got there:
Detention center

Concentration camp

I believe anybody who wants to leave the detention centers and go back home to their native county is able to do so. I don't think that could have happened in Nazi Germany
