New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally revealed her grand scheme to regulate cow farts.
The part of her Green new Deal that was ridiculed the most has now been explained by the 29-year-old.
But the thing is, the idea and the reasoning behind it is still ridiculous.
The explanation was made on the premiere of Showtimes Desus & Mero, The New York Post reported.
And so its not to say you get rid of agriculture, its not to say were gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that, Ocasio-Cortez said.But its to say, Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldnt be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, lets keep it real, she said.
But we have to take a look at everything, she said. and what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives, you know?

She also defended her tax idea for the ultra rich that would tax them 70 percent for income above $10 million.
It really comes down to the question of, Isnt $10 million enough? Like, when does it stop? ocasio-Cortez said.

Bill H.R. 38473 - Excessive Hamburger Act
Introduced 28 February 2019
Author: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-NY 14th
Co-Sponsor: Rashida Tlaib D-MI 13th, Ilhan Omar D-MN 5th
Text: Effective upon adoption of this bill, residents of the United States (excepting members of Congress and non-citizens) are forbidden to eat more than one hamburger per week, under federal penalty, including forfeiture of any kitchen utensil, pans, spices, and heating appliances that the offender may have. Violators must attend re-education facilities for not less than 6 months to be properly instructed on how to conform to socialist ideals.
She should first ask this of the Clintons and the Obamas, to name two shining examples.
Indeed! Nothing but an overgrown nag.
I was going to respond to “Like, lets keep it real, she said.” Coming from her it’s a whiskey tango foxtrot.
Gee and I thought the most ridiculous part was taking a train from the U.S. to Tokyo...
Demonicrats are ALL traitorous tyrants. It’s just that some of them are more batcrap crazy than the others.
Her solution:
NOTE: I have nothing against anyone who works as a bartender, but she could have saved herself a lot of time and money by pursuing that career without pissing away several years and thousands of dollars on an "education" that hasn't made her one bit smarter.
Here's a link to her 2017-2018 financial disclosure form, which she was required to file as a Congressional candidate:
1. Notice how little income she reported. It appears that this dingbat was leaching off others for quite some time. That kind of income would leave you homeless in New York City.
2. She apparently had two prior positions (see Schedule E) with little or no income: the National Hispanic Institute and Brook Avenue Press. Brook Avenue Press was a small publishing business she started back in 2010-2011 that didn't stay in business for very long.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just the latest in a long line of @ssholes who pursued a career in government because she's incapable of making the grade in almost any other line of work.
No one other than Trump has been as persasive in getting others to buy into their vision.
Trump's vision is to Make America Great Again. AOC's vision is to stop cow farts by telling people to cut back on their hamburger consumption. Even people who will say publicly that they think she's a genius will go home at night and have another hamburger.
I'll bet the senior executives at Amazon drink a toast to themselves every night and say: "Man, did we dodge a bullet when we pulled out of that New York City deal."
The best way to stop cow farts is to make it illegal to sell beer to cows!
“Shes the perfect little Stalin.”
Excellent. Lets start calling her that....little Stalin.
Nice!
Except why are you doing her work for her? Shame on you.
If a significant segment of the culture, say 25%, refuse to abide by laws they consider an infringement on their personal freedom, what happens? A tyranny would seek to impose their will on the malcontents. Such is happening in Venezuela, Cuba, China, and other countries such as Burma and South Africa.
In the US a more subtle but no less effective form of tyranny prevails. Public education enforcement, abortion enforcement, restrictions on anti-gay activity, online censorship of conservative thought, anti Christian laws, are well known progressive tyrannies. These have the desired result of forcing a substantial minority of citizens to act in ways contrary to their principles. It is a short trip to the place AOC and her fellow travelers seek to force us to go.
Do you have a wall? Whats your address?
“And so its not to say you get rid of agriculture, its not to say were gonna force everybody to go vegan...”

Gotta
Like, lets keep it real
Like, when does it stop?
