actually the girl in clueless was just 15 and a fictional character. we make allowances for inexperience of age and expect are entertainment in movies to behave in ways that amuse us. Ocasio-Cortez’s is twice her age. A 30 years old who is a real person. There is nothing amusing about her being a politician and representing anyone.

Boo hoo. In a few months you’ll be filling your gizzard at the public trough. You’ll have better health insurance than me. You’ll have guaranteed pay and pension, with COLAs, that I don’t have.
You’ll be able to use your position to get filthy rich. People will pay you money to vote a certain way. You’ll be able to hire and pay a staff, on my money.
Boo hoo f*ck you!

There are references in some stories to her "partner," but as far as I can see, that person is invisible. Perhaps she is single. Who knows? Anyhow, if there is a significant other in the picture, keep an eye on his/her job. Payoffs to the spouse/partner/kids are common. Not to pick on the Obamas in particular -- just as a recent point of reference -- Michelle tripled her salary from the University of Chicago, for whom she was a public affairs rep, from $100,000 to $300,000 when Barack was elected to the Senate. Chicago justified the raise as warranted due to the high sensitivity and urgency of the projects she handled. This did not, however, preclude Michelle from unlimited time off to campaign when the presidential race began. When Barack was elected and Michelle moved to DC, Chicago abolished the position.

This sort of thing is not uncommon, and it happens on both sides of the aisle. On the Democrat side, a spouse with serious educational and professional chops will be snapped up by a lobbying firm or a prestigious NGO. The spouse might even do serious work for this employer, and some of the spouses are pretty good. But that's not why they got the job.

Occasional-Cortex is mostly likely to advance her career by using the Duke Cunningham business plan.

Looks like she’s drying out the price tag for her outfit.

Yep, I noticed the reference to her “partner” in this article and from what I’ve read up to now it’s never been mentioned she is married.

I guess I’m old fashioned but I’ve never considered a partner as being a husband or wife, of course I don’t care for the feminists either. :^)

“Looks like she’s drying out the price tag for her outfit.”

Thats so she can return it for a refund when her salary kicks in.

Her wardrobe was probably paid for out of campaign funds. I do not think that she can borrow against campaign funds for personal items.

Legally, I doubt that she can accept gratuities. Wait till she learns how far $174,000 doesn’t go in DC. But she will have some unique business opportunities not available to her constituents.

All Occasional-Cortex has to do is go to Amscott for a payday loan.

Or call J G Wentworth 877 cash now.

Then there was the House Bank.

I’m surprised when asked she didn’t say since she’s in the HoR, that “people” should “just pay for it”, meaning her apartment in DC.

She can’t figure out how to acquire an apartment all by herself... Yeah, she’s going to be a perfect choice to solve the nation’s financial problems, cast votes on defense, space, energy, war and peace, taxes and budgetary matters. Un-freakin’-believable.

Kinda like Obama's prior relationships with girls.....not one girlfriend from college, high school, junior high was ever found or interviewed.

Yet the Leftwing media could find hundreds of photos of Palin in bathing suits within days of her being announced as VP candidate.

There is plenty of data—if you are a behind the scenes power-broker who needs the info for blackmail purposes.

Otherwise—it is a national security secret. :-(

“Michelle tripled her salary from the University of Chicago, for whom she was a public affairs rep, from $100,000 to $300,000 when Barack was elected to the Senate.”

The University probably got a 1000-fold return on its political investment due to the PPACA.

There are a lot of poor people with apts in DC. I bet none of them have $4000 outfits on.

She’ll be a millionaire in less than 2 years, which is why she ran for congress. I suspect the initial graft will be funneled to her in the form of a book that will be ghostwritten for her
