Full title: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Three Branches Of Government Tweet Wasn't The Only One That Triggered An Avalanche Of Stupid
We all knew we were going to have to deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s nonsense. Anyone who won that primary against incumbent and soon-to-be-former Congressman Joe Crowley was going to win. The district is more left wing than Lenin. It’s easy to poke fun of Ocasio-Cortez, who found herself in the spotlight thanks to that upset win. She’s a democratic socialist, with many of her colleagues viewing her as the future of the party. And by future, do they mean being the permanent minority party on the Hill? Only kidding. I hate those terms like permanent political majority (or minority). Public opinion can shock us—Hillary Clinton know this all too well. Still, we have some folks on the Right who are trashing her for her every word. Yes, it’s easy, but comments about her attire during orientation prior to Thanksgiving were atrocious. It’s cheap. It’s not effective. It makes her a sympathetic figure. It was overreach.
Just let her talk. Often times, these left wing stalwarts hang themselves with their own words. Cortez thought that the three branches of government were…the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
Oh no! They discovered our vast conspiracy to take care of children and save the planet
Earlier this month, she took a swipe at Fox News tweeting, “Oh no! They discovered our vast conspiracy to take care of children and save the planet.”
It listed the four action items for the incoming far left House members, which include free college, a green new deal, and health care for all. Oh, and they want to abolish ICE. Most Democrats for obvious reasons are not pushing the latter heavily: it could swing suburban voters to the GOP again, as they’re concerned about security and gang-related violence. Free college and health care for all is just unrealistic, which is compounded by the fact that no one has a clue for how to pay for it; Ocasio-Cortez is once again the leader of the pack in that exercise. She thinks you “just pay for it.” Yeah, so do millions of American families who will see their employer-based plans, which they like very much, be cannibalized to export this slice of Venezuelan economic here. The new green deal will be straight trash just like the rest of Democratic politics. It’s most certainly going to be more left wing than Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which torched rural communities dependent of coal mining for their local economies. Her Twitter feed is an avalanche of stupid. Keep it that way; let her talk because she will soon find out that she’s a small fish in a big pond. She’s one vote. She can’t sign bills into law, and most of her agenda will die a legislative death when it reaches…the Republican Senate.
The latest in this comedy tour is Ocasio-Cortez thinking that we’re all clutching our pearls because we know she’s a bull in a china closet. Again, let her keep thinking she’s an empress. Her left wing agenda isn’t going anywhere, and it seems her Twitter feed is also worrying Democrats who think she could tear apart Democratic unity in the House (via Twitchy ):
I’m fine being called a bull in a china shop, because politics that answers to special interests more than the American people *should* be disrupted.
Also, the idea that the same folks who bow to Trump are clutching their pearls is laughable.
Good. That’s how they should feel.
THIS is why we drag Alexandria, folks. It’s not her clothes or her style or even how ridiculous her tweets can be (and TRUST US, they are ridiculous), but it’s the idea that anyone is afraid of her or that she’s somehow more powerful than she is. We’d just like her to know what the heck she’s talking about before pretending she’s an expert.
Millennials. *eye roll*
And maybe she should take a look at her thread because it’s not ‘Trump supporters’ who are actually clutching any pearls, it’s Democrats who are concerned she will destroy their party with her divisive blathering.
Twitchy had the tweets from Democrats dreading the collapse of unity. Keep her talking
You’re correct, she’s beyond stupid.
I believe she thought they were talking about Hondas.
Does this assume that consumption of the no-price health care and consumption of the more expensive gasoline would both remain unchanged?
*(3 bag ugly is one for him, one for her, and a third one to puke in in case you still somehow see that ugly face!)
republicans can’t think themselves out of a paper bag. They, if they had any brains at all, which they don’t, should have run a sensible, left of center hot, young minority and female candidate who is actually sandbagging like the democrats do. She gets sworn in and goes to work voting against Pelosi every step of the way. Republicans refuse to think outside the box and use subterfuge as a weapon against their opponents. So boring. NeverTrumpers most of them. They deserve to lose
Says the woman who makes everyone around her appear as a MENSA candidate.
At least Occasionally-Coherent is too young to run for president in 2020.
What I find curious is no one appears to be coaching her, pulling her strings so to speak so she does not look so stupid. obama is not very bright, but he had those in the background keeping him on track and a teleprompter to keep him from making a fool of himself. This girl has none of that type of support, except for the MSM.
Yep and she isn’t going to get more attractive with time. Quite the opposite.
Ugly and stupid is a hard way to go through life.
Trust me; I’ve had a taste of it.
I’m sure her meeting with Pelosi cured her of her delusion very quickly. She learned that members of Congress aren’t powerful people at all. Those who OWN members of Congress are the powerful ones.
She represents a district that would vote for a Democrat no matter who the candidates were. Coaching her is like coaching Maxine Waters. Your time would be better spent trying to teach your dog to speak Japanese.
The wun wasn’t qualified either.
Give the mass of criminals in gov-co to try getting her in the white house.
I hear Planned Parenthood is endorsing her. Best reason they have ever found for birth control and abortion.
So what was she wearing for her orientation?
My gosh, the three branches are the Executive, Legislative and Judicial...She is a Dem so she’s a moronic idiot. I think my 9 year old brother could be better than A O-C...
Her meteoric flash across the national stage seems like something I’ve seen before....
....Senator BHØ in 2004-5.
Radical idiots the rats love
I just love AOC and her ideas. I hope she sounds them out loud and strong. Yeah!!
We need more AOC!!
Agreed, these socialist idiots have got to be turning off some Dems that respect and care for our country.
