[ The freshman Democrat wants more money in her paycheck, calling it a cost of living increase rather than a raise. ]

Just as long as the useful idiots in the Democrat Party keep supporting her.....

It would be hilarious if this were a movie.

If the idiots in Congress would stop and think with their pea-sized brains, by increasing the value of the Dollar, with proper trade and monetary policies, their money is worth more.................

It's sort of important to them to make the distinction. If it were a raise, they couldn't be paid until after the next election. 27th Amendment:

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

However, cost-of-living isn't covered, and it's already been adjudicated. Convenient, no?

State retirees haven’t had a so much as a cost of living raise in forever. While working for the state, there hadn’t been a raise in 14 years.

For all their yapping about the evils of capitalism and the nasty rich, there are none so greedy in the whole wide world as progressive/socialists, who see nothing wrong whatsoever in helping themselves to other people’s money for their own purposes, wrapping the deed in hot-air morally-superior rhetoric to try to hide their avarice from themselves and others........

Who are the shape shifters propping this dimwit up, and for what purpose?

The Justice Democrats own AOC. I'm sure they insist she practice their talking points to their satisfaction before they turn her loose on the public.

Purpose? To advance leftism of course.

The media calls AOC a 'star.' Sure she is/s. More like a PITA.

From bar wench to bubble-headed tyrant, this broad needs to be knocked off her throne.

I hope her constituents ditch the Democrat party some day.
