Ocasio-Cortez fires back at Trump Jr: Keep trolling, we have subpoena power next year
The Hill ^ | 12/07/18 | Aris Folley

Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) fired back at Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president’s eldest son shared a meme implying that her democratic socialist views would lead to Americans eating dogs.

“I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter. “Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’ idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.”

“Have fun!” she added.

Her tweet was in response to a two-paneled meme shared by Trump Jr. on Instagram on Thursday. The top photo of the meme showed an image of Ocasio-Cortez along with the text: “Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?”

The second photo featured in the meme shows President Trump and a blunt answer: “Because Americans want to walk their dogs, not eat them.”

Trump Jr. captioned the meme that he shared with 1.5 million Instagram followers, saying: “It’s funny cuz it’s true!!!" The post has since garnered more than 66,000 likes and more than 2,500 comments as of Friday afternoon.

Since pulling off this one of this year’s biggest upsets during primary season when she unseated Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), Ocasio-Cortez has become a top target for many conservative pundits and lawmakers for her policy proposals and democratic socialist views.

The 29-year-old Democrat asked on Twitter on Sunday why she has already come under fire by so many top Republicans despite having yet to take office officially.

"I’m not even sworn in yet. Don’t y’all have jobs to do?" she tweeted on Sunday.

“Stop criticizing me or I’ll subpoena you and have you thrown in prison”?

OK, Your Majesty.

Sounds ethical to me, publicly threaten to use subpoena power to intimidate someone because they trolled you. I’m sure Trump Jr’s lawyers have printed out this tweet.

The way to keep these Democrats reasonable is to end the federal income tax on personal “earned income” for years after 2019 and turn it back on for the following year only if the Democrats have been reasonable each year.

It’s like keeping an unruly dog on a leash.

No that is not ethical. But ethics don’t apply to democrats. Actually what she said might be considered criminal. But to be criminal you would have to prove that in her mind she had some criminal intent. She lacks the first element.

Do be as open as you please with your Stalinist outlook, Occasional-Cortex, so that nobody can be mistaken as to what you are.

The most useful of useful idiots ended up eaten by the monster they helped build.

The media demanded that members of Congress did not criticize John Jr., or Caroline Kennedy, or Amy Carter, or Chelsea Clinton or the Obama daughters, but the media has no problems with vicious attacks on Don Jr..

“Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?” - Ocasio-Cortez...

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor and forces you to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

MARXISM
You have two cows.
The government takes both and shoots you.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

She is really going to end up with an ethics complaint if she keeps that up.

Yep, power is what the Left is all about.
Submission and conformity of the masses.
How dare one question the judgment and authority of the virtuous Left.
That’s why they want all the guns.
