Well; look at their leader. It's no wonder they have such a low grade of reps.

Well, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) caused House Democrats a lot of heartburn over her past anti-Semitic antics. It led to a fiasco over a non-binding resolution condemning hate, which some Democrats felt singled Omar out. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might say that the Omar-Ocasio-Cortez faction of the caucus is small, but they sure have clout. A large swath of the 2020 field has backed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) Green New Deal. What the Omar situation has shown is that Pelosi is either incapable or unwilling to get her rowdy members under control.
Now, Ocasio-Cortez has decided to deliver another hot take: we have concentration camps at the southern border or something. Tim has more:
And that the fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing. And we need to do something about it," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained.
"This week immigrant children were moved to the same internment camps where the Japanese were held in the early twentieth century," she continued.
[…]
As AOC told her followers, "This is not even about a crisis, this is not just about the immigrant community being held in concentration camps and if America will actually remain America, or if we are losing to an authoritarian and fascist presidency."
"I don't use those words lightly, I don't use those words to just throw bombs. I use that word because that is what an administration that creates concentration camps is," she remarks before getting back to putting together a chair.
Well, folks, AOC must have missed the part where Obama used two former Japanese internment camps to hold detained illegal aliens. The Left has an addiction to calling their enemies Nazis or Hitler. We all know this. Bush was Hitler, the GOP is Hitler, and Trump is Hitler. It’s becoming a joke—and this isn’t something to take lightly. Even Ms. Ocasio-Cortez knows this; so just quit it. And these remarks should be roundly rejected and flayed for all to see. It’s ridiculous, but Pelosi, ever so cautious as to not irk the far left wing of her party, has refused to condemn AOC for her shoddy Nazi reference at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast. The Daily Mail’s Emily Goodin asked her about it:
Emily Goodin: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under fire again for some comments she made about concentration camps. I'm wondering if you've talked to some of the freshman members about the power of their words and the use of their social media and what you're thinking of all this back and forth?Nancy Pelosi: These members of Congress are, they come and represent their districts and their point of view and they take responsibility for the statements that they make. I'm not up to date on her most recent one; I saw something in the news. But, I – no I haven't spoken to her about that. I do have some comments to make to my caucus writ large about the political nature of how politically charged the atmosphere is so, understand that while the Republicans have no interest in holding the president accountable for his words, they will misrepresent anything that you say just if you have one word in the sentence that they can exploit.
With Omar, Pelosi pretty much said she was too dumb to know what she was saying. For AOC, it’s the GOP might have lied about it.
During Vietnam the Hell’s Angels wanted to volunteer to fight as “gorillas” to help the troops. True story.
When this reprehensible Dem incident started with AOC’s flippant and disrespectful dismissal of the suffering and loss of 6 million Jews and the fact that millions today had relatives who died in those camps, and the millions of people who died fighting to overthrow the Reich, I wondered if the Dems would have courage to oppose her or clear their throats and meekly make excuses like the Muslim Rep’s anti semitic comments about Jews running things incident exarlier.
Denigrating the enormity of the Holocaust in order to make a quick cheap shot at President Trump shows the total lack of class by AOC-—AND the Dems.
DeBlasio did speak up and I applaud that. My first agreement with him ever.
Holy Smoke - where did you get those? Priceless...Need no introductions!
Doesn’t seem possible, does it and yet it happened! What was so different then compared to now? Beats me. I was in high school during that era and I still remember it. Where is that voice today? Do we have anyone who is willing to speak the truth? Just one!! Not one of the new (and possibly even older) ones came into this new Congress to help the country. They got involved for one reason and one reason only - HELP TAKE DOWN THE PRESIDENT and if they had to break their oath to the Constitution, so be it - as they know no one is going to do anything about it!
Well; look at their leader. It's no wonder they have such a low grade of reps.
*** “(Ass On Call (AOC)) ***
That is much better than “Occasional Cortex” and is better for especially remembering her Bar Tending years as a regular person, voter or whatever slogan she slopped those horse lips around and ran on. (did I spell shlongan right?)
Guerillas?
While the demon-rats love to call the president Hitler or a nazi - what actions of his can they point to that resemble Hitler’s? Has he rounded up Jews, Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals etc., held book burnings, had his own “”Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”), also called Night of Broken Glass or November Pogroms, the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms.””
What has Donald Trump done similar to any of this?
They don’t like him - he beat Hillary out of the presidency. Why can’t they just be honest and admit they hate the man for that reason and stop with the childish behavior of calling names and accuse him of some new scandalous behavior every day. They don’t deserve a place among normal human beings.
Guerillas-—yes.
That was the joke. The 1960s Hell’s Angels heard the radio news stories of “guerillas” sabotaging or killing the Vietcong and assumed they were nicknamed “gorillas” because they fought like the animals.
My humor is sometimes so liable to misunderstanding that it disappears.
Sorry.
That uniform suits her.
I thought that might be the case. ;)
BTW, I knew several Hells Angels guys back in the ‘80s, and they were great patriotic people. (Although I guess that isn’t always the case.)
If you didn't let them run security at your wedding celebration then you were okay. The Rolling Stones at Altamont thought the Angels here were like the British counterparts who were easygoing fun loving and not violent.
The real culprit at Altamont was an armed black man in a shiny suit who threatened to kill the crowd of whites and the Rolling Stones while high. Meredith Hunter,Jr. He waved a gun. Not the Angels' fault. Leftist writers try to smooth over the fact he was black, violent,agitated and on drugs. Doesn't work. I've read 5 books on it plus many articles. He was guilty.
After the Revolution, the reprisals can begin in earnest.
That’s alright Nancy she’s doing a damn good job of it on her own
The Jew haters are in control of the democrat party.
Why, that’s easy to distinguish. BHO can do no wrong, and DJT can do no right. So? Double standards are what this great country is based on. How else could there be slavery, Jim Crow, and all the other great institutions that are still ongoing today. What’s needed are more double standards, a proposition to which CNN and MSNBC are dedicated./s
As I see it, the various Democrat voices are just making it easier for Pres. Trump’s re-election every time they open their mouths. I can’t remember when I’ve ever heard more idiotic, anti-American statements in my life.

It’s all a bad joke except one thing, the left is hostile and takes the Hitler stuff seriously so we should. BTW you’re all racists and islamophobes, and homophobic too!
