The “concentration camp” accusation is hyperbole — extremism — masquerading as policy. THAT is the Democrat platform nowadays: sophomoric exaggeration, puerile name-calling, and emotional overload that long ago displaced reason.

Worse. She is arrogant and haughty.

Pictures say a thousand words. The look on her face, all of 29-30, says I “know it all” and am better than any of you.

I wonder if the FINAL Solution she dreams of includes mass extermination camps for conservatives?

That has always been part of their plan. Bill Ayers spilled the beans to an FBI informant in the early 70's.

She represents her constituents well.

She isn't shamefully ignorant of history. She is trying to change history to suit current political imperatives. If she can use the relative ignorance of today's youth to successfully equate the Holocaust and Trump, she and her party gain power.

It isn't as simple as just calling her and her compatriots "dumb" - they are doing it on purpose.

Which explains why they have turned on Biden.

I think three hings have roasted Biden. He can't get crowds to show up, he keeps saying stupid things, he has a long record in the Senate of pandering to people or groups that were once important but are now considered as bad as nazis, and (a really big one) was a couple of weeks ago when, after he weathered the storm of being too touchy with women and young girls, he called a 10 year old good looking and put his hands all over her AGAIN.

That combo of stupidity, lack of juice, baggage, and inability to control his peverted side in public made the power bosses say "Nope, this guy will get mauled by Trump".

And possibly Hillary pulled some strings or let some dirt out. Because she's definitely running.

Ocasio-Cortez, whose historical obliviousness leads her to believe we're living in an economic and racial dystopia, says she is speaking to those who "are concerned enough with humanity to say that 'Never Again' means something

Marxists attempt to explain all of nature/reality by dialectical materialism, which is based on conflicts and movements of opposites, and their merging into one another, rather than by observation + reason. This method does not lead to valid truth, but to invalid conclusions such as marxist exploitation theory.

The worst part is she doesn’t know how stupid she is, she thinks she is brilliant.

The Latina digbat knows exactly the connotation connected to the name “concentration canp.” She intended it! She did not mean it in its most innocuous form; i.e. a place at which people are benignly concentrated.

Do not expect AOC to read this article. Too bad.

“She is a special kind of stupid.”

This says it all and it applies to all the Snowflakes as well.

AOC was recently slobbing up bar spills for minimum wage and is now in Congress, sporting $2000 designer outfits.

BACKSTORY: “Justice Democrats” and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms should be all about Bernie’s policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.

NOTE
<><> “Brand New Congress” mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> “Justice Democrats” is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.

Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.......an FEC complaint was filed alleging AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple private companies—LLCs—to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......

BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism. Besides socialism (gag)....
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it.....”Director of Organizing Technology.”

AND THIS—Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor “Stripe”.........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.

Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernie’s Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.

So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti’s tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillary’s account.

Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.

Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie’s tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?

Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC’s campaign:
<><> the “Brand New Congress PAC,” and,
<><> the “Justice Democrats PAC.”

After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the “Brand New Campaign LLC,” and,
<><> the “ Brand New Congress LLC.”

Saikat Chakrabarti’s private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

NOTE WELL: it’s a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.

AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.

===============================

ANALYSIS -— Chakrabarti’s companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC’s donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication “there’s something amiss.” They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC’s to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-—SNIP-—SOURCED FROM FR.

JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?

Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?

===================================

AOC's such a frickin hypocrite-----never mentions how she manipulated policy in the US Congress to get her
boyfriend on the govt gravy train. Digging reveals suspicious payments to AOC’s boyfriend began early.

FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC's boyfriend got a govt email address immediately
<><> AOC doesn’t believe in having unpaid govt workers; according to her COS they have no office volunteers.
<><> So boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but also isn’t "officislly" on AOC’s staff,
<><> yet Roberts showed up in the House directory as processing into AOC's personal office as a staffer.

That explains why AOC was so determined to pay "volunteers"---she and the b/f would richly benefit.

Polling shows her with only 13% approval in her home district of the Bronx. Her support there has collapsed. Probably can't get re-elected.

That's because she has been grandstanding nationally instead of working to help her constituents locally, which is what new representatives do. Her involvement in chasing away 25,000 jobs from Amazon hasn't helped her. "$4 billion is lost wages and $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY. Thanks for Nothing, AOC!" the billboard in NYC reads.

Party players want her to challenge Schumer in the primary. Heaven help us if this nitwit gets into the Senate. It only validates her stupidity and air-headedness.
