"Deadbeat Cortez:" Aggressively Ignorant Socialist Alexandria Donkey-Chompers Continues Making Friends All Over

I'm not against this, though.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.

Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues.

“Sometimes the question comes: 'Do you want to be in a majority or do you want to be in the minority?'” Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., told Fox News, when asked about AOC's stance. “And do you want to be part of a team?"

...

Another Democrat was less diplomatic: "Deadbeat Cortez should pay her bills," complained the Democratic source. "She's always whining about people paying their fair share and here she is leaving her friends with the bill."

Meanwhile, bigamist, identity thief, and immigration fraudster Ilhan "Omar" Nur continues campaigning for government sanctions against the Jews -- whoops, I mean "Israel" -- while claiming that sanctions against the Jew-haters in Iran are a moral outrage.

The fake explanation she offers for her differing attitudes -- trying to avoid just saying what you know she'd really just love to say, that she just hates Jews -- is that sanctions against Jews are "of the people" but sanctions against Iran are from the government, and therefore... evil?

Of course, she's pushing for government sanctions against Israel. That's what the "S" in the BDS Movement she vociferously supports stands for -- government sanctions.

You can tell when someone is lying when none of their proferred explanations make any sense. And when someone is lying, you have to decide on their real rational yourself.

In her case, it's simple: She's a vicious anti-semite and a supporter of Muslim terrorism.

Maybe someone will "retire" near her and she will run in that spot but she makes to much money being the leftist darling to give up a spot in congress now.

32 Willowed, but I think this is a likely scenario, Iranian Proxy Attacks.

514 411 War Powers Act (I know, UnConstitutional, but so is this impeachment IMO) says that IF a Concurrent resolution is passed forbidding the President from attacking a country, he can't unless he gets prior Congressional approval.

Which, he can't get quickly. So, if the resolution is passed, and Iran attacks us FROM Iran, according to the act, the President can't respond.

If he does? That will then be the reason to impeach.

And because it is now a Power struggle between the entire Congress, and the Executive Branch, many Senators would use that as an excuse to 'oh so sadly' vote to impeach (IMO).
Posted by: Don Q at January 10, 2020 01:26 PM (NgKpN)

The only thing dumber than the current impeachment nonsense would be for Congress to try and impeach for the act of *defending the nation and our troops *. They would lose badly on that front.

What happens when we are attacked by an Iranian Proxy?

Maybe Hezbollah drives another explosive filled truck into the US Beirut Embassy (AGAIN!!!), but issues public claims that it was some obscure Sunni terrorist group?

Maybe hittting another US Embassy in a Gulf State, or a few US bases in Iraq and Syria too? Simultaneously.

Remember how they used to say that AlQaeda was known for its simultaneous attacks, it was the AlQaeda "Signature?"

That would kill lots of Americans, and give the shitstains in Congress and the media enough BS to say "it might not be Iran"? You cannot strike back. Or. You hit Iran without permission, IM PEACH MINT!

44 Speaking of paying bills -- tell me what y'all think of this situation:

I took a chance (knowing it was a risk) of ordering a gadget from some guy in Belarus. He has a whole web site about it, and it's a clever gadget not available anywhere else. Or at least it's described as such. He's selling it -- or claims to be selling it -- for $75. Through Paypal.

Knowing ahead of time that the whole thing might be a scam, but also knowing that if this gadget was as described that I'd really want one, I decided it was worth the gamble of "buying one" for $75, to see if he was legit. Also (I checked this out ahead of time), Paypal has a "Payment Protection Plan" where they will refund your payment if the seller never ships the item, or can't produce any proof that it exists and was shipped. So, even in a worst-case scenario where it's a scam, I likely could get my money back. And $75 is not the end of the world -- if it is a scam, then it was kind of like betting $75 in a Vegas casino -- part of the "payoff" is the thrill and entertainment of taking the gamble and imagining getting the jackpot, even if you ultimately lose.

So anyway, I ordered it, sent him $75 via Paypal, and the guy keeps promising and delaying and promising and delaying when it comes to sending it (he claims he has to hand-made each one indiviidually), and it could very well be that he's on the up-and-up, but is working on "Belarus time," and being a lame-ass businessman with bad customer service. Or, obviously, the whole thing could be a big hoax to scam $75 out of gullible Americans.

But if you saw the Web site, and all the videos posted to it, you'd see that the whole scenario must have cost him thousands -- and if it it a hoax, he spent thousands of dollars creating a Potempkin company to fool just a handful of people. Because the videos of his gadget have only ever had a couple hundred views each, and only a handful of comments, so if it is a scam, he's not getting many customers -- not nearly enough to justify the investment of creating such a believable fake gadget.

But his promises are getting more and more untenable -- now he's claimed that he has indeed already shipped it to me, via some dodgy Belarussian postal service, and that it will arrive here in the US any day now.

Pretty soon it will either arrive, or it won't, and he will no longer be able to stall and delay.

So, I'm quite curious as to whether or not the whole thing will prove to be a legitimate purchase of a delivered item from a honest guy, or just a scam from the very beginning. If it is a scam, it is one of the one pathetic money-losing scams ever -- the guy obviously invested more in putting up a false front than he ever received from victims. Plus, I'm going to get the $75 back from Paypal anyway, so his profit from that scam would be $0.

I realize that without specifics you can't really give a definitive assessment, but: Scam? Or legit?

It's not that she allowed them in. She probably could do little to help it once AOC won the primary out of nowhere.

No, her problem is that she coddled them the second they showed up, putting them on important committees and doing magazine covers with them.

I imagine she hates it as much as the rest. I suspect the real cause is that she didn't understand exactly what the Justice Democrats were, and assumed they were akin to the DSA as more-radical fellow travelers who would fall into line.

She was wrong and so was the party. It was up to the *party* to campaign hard against them in the primaries, not Nancy. Once they won, she had to deal with them.

More: given how shit the DNC in general is, I'm not surprised AOC thinks she can do a better job. She's probably right.

84 What happens when we are attacked by an Iranian Proxy?

Maybe Hezbollah drives another explosive filled truck into the US Beirut Embassy (AGAIN!!!), but issues public claims that it was some obscure Sunni terrorist group?

Maybe hittting another US Embassy in a Gulf State, or a few US bases in Iraq and Syria too? Simultaneously.

Remember how they used to say that AlQaeda was known for its simultaneous attacks, it was the AlQaeda "Signature?"

That would kill lots of Americans, and give the shitstains in Congress and the media enough BS to say "it might not be Iran"? You cannot strike back. Or. You hit Iran without permission, IM PEACH MINT!

But the Americans leaving throws all their worthless asses at the mercy of the mullahs.

Actually, it's spy-glasses: super-tiny video camera embedded in a sunglasses frame. I realize there are other similar type spy-glasses on the market, but they're all way too obvious-looking. The one depicted on his site are made in such a way that it is basically impossible to tell that it has a hidden camera in it. The clever unique aspect of it is that the video camera lens is pointing sideways from the glasses earpiece, so you don't have to stare directly at the thing you're filming. All the other similar spy-glasses on the market have the lens pointing straight forward from the nose-bridge, and as such are easily noticeable.

His videos show him actually constructing them, and then he has videos of them actually being used, and they are really convincing -- very very difficult to fake. You'd have to be a VFX whiz to go to all the trouble of faking multiple ten-minute videos.

Honestly, if Donald Trump doesn't raze and salt I can see AOC as President by 2028. Earlier, if things shake out badly. She has a major fundraising rep and understands the insane (dominant) wing of the Democrats instinctively. The upper crust would actually be less able to stop her than Donald Trump.

I posted a link in the Morning Report yesterday or the day before called "Trump Unbound." It postulates that if he wins in November, and assuming we take the House which is also a distinct and growing possibility, there is nothing that can stop him from flooring the accelerator with even more deregulation, dismantling of the bureaucracy and doing it with a vengeance.

The other thing he MUST do, and I think he can is become a leader post-presidency of a Trump political movement that remakes the GOP in his image.

I think that aligns with my assessment. You hit it - he is intellectually incurious because he thinks he already knows it. Even his fans said he believved his own bullshit.

AOC I think is of average IQ, she knows she isn't a genius, but she thinks she is smart.

I think they were both steered by people who were, if not smarter, more conniving.

226 Actually, on the topic, I think the new third party will come out of the Republican side.

As the Justice Democrats and their ilk continue to take over and subvert the Democrat party, it will continue to alienate the sane Dems. The sane Dems will either sit out or switch to moderate Republicans.

Under Trump, the Republicans have a pretty big tent and the Dems are actively alienating everyone who is sane. That may well swell the Republican ranks for a little while. It won't be tenable long-term, but the short-term consequences might be crippling the Democrats until they are a marginal party.

If that happens or is about to, then it is more likely that the Republican party splits, crowds out the Dems, and gets back to a reasonably healthy center-left/center-right dichotomy with a bit of fringe on both sides.

Why build a third party when you can subvert and take over one of the big ones? It might not work because they haven't exactly been subtle, but it may well be the plan.

Using the Democratic label to fundraise and not share those profits with other Democrats doesn't feel like a power move within the party. It feels more like you know your days are numbered and you're going to milk the Democrats for all they're worth before you break out on your own.

Posted by: Oldcat at January 10, 2020 02:43 PM (eoQWY)

Really? I read it the other way around.

Obama was literally a talking suit. He, personally, never made a single decision, but had others installed into his private inner pseudo-cabinet to make all his decisions for him. (Jarrett, Rhodes, Powers, etc.) He was just the gurning jugeared nose-in-the-air mug in front the styrofoam columns with the "Soaring Rhetoric".

(seriously, fuck that guy)

AOC seems to be used more as an attack rottweiler. She still takes orders, more or less, but really it's her own insane energy and fervent True Belief that make her a tool for the Left. That's why her ignorance is always on display. She doesn't actually realize that she's ignorant. Obama generally knew to keep his mouth shut except for what's on the prompter, parroting pre-scripted lines, and talking about pop-culture bullshit.

VA is dead set on serving up on a platter the sort of legislation that a) will for sure be challenged in court and b) will certainly go to SCOTUS and give us a new precedent.

The kind of precedent that might unroll all the other restrictions in other states on magazine size, etc. Maybe even registration stuff like CT.

That doesn't necessarily mean he knows anything - in fact, he proved himself to be quite ignorant on occasion - but it does mean that he's good at taking law school tests. My personal theory is that what they wče trying to hide was that he got accepted by claiming to be an international student (Indonesian passport and stepfather, Kenyan father who was also a Harvard international student). He had a book contract before he even graduated. My personal theory on what they're trying to hide about Columbia is that he didn't graduate from Columbia College, but rather from the open-admission School of General Studies.

291 Grump, I know for a fact that Barack Obama had very good grades in law school. That doesn't necessarily mean he knows anything - in fact, he proved himself to be quite ignorant on occasion - but it does mean that he's good at taking law school tests. My personal theory is that what they we trying to hide was that he got accepted by claiming to be an international student (Indonesian passport and stepfather, Kenyan father who was also a Harvard international student). He had a book contract before he even graduated. My personal theory on what they're trying to hide about Columbia is that he didn't graduate from Columbia College, but rather from the open-admission School of General Studies.

294 Democrats were ALREADY a socialist party. ObamaCare forced down the country's throat to some electoral detriment, was designed to lead to Socialism. The Clinton's and Obama's were all about Coward Piven and social division, designed to lead to Socialism.

Where do we get the idea that the Democrat Party isn't already socialist? Just because the older ones have been trying to get Socialism here without losing too much of the country too soon (ie before they can take over intelligence agencies, big tech, schools, courts, etc).

Anthony Weiner fell way behind on Democrat Party membership dues and party fundraising targets. It was around a $300,000 shortfall by the time of his first texting scandal. He didn't care, thought his public attack dog posturing would keep him in Congress. This is reportedly one of the reasons Pelosi et al were not interested in shielding him the way they normally do with uncovered Democrat perverts.

AOC, or some one advising her, apparently has made a similar calculation, believing that times have changed. Fine, as long as she never needs the Old Guard's help for anything...

357 Fascism is pro-country, Dems are not. They are Communist in outlook, essentially with the no borders and international outlook over the needs of the actual country.
Posted by: Oldcat at January 10, 2020 03:08 PM (eoQWY)

Fair enough... it's one of the reasons i prefer "Barbarian" to "Fascist" for describing Democrats... there really is no ideology anymore, just a raw will to power and control.

I just tried to clumsily shoehorn the analysis into the typical political framework. The main point being: Dems aren't actually Communist or even Socialist, if you look at them as a Communist or a Socialist.

360 artisanal, you're thinking of Columbia. As I said, I believe he never went to Columbia College, which is why no one who was there remembers him. I think he graduated from the School of General Studies, Columbia University's "night school." However, he was very much present at Harvard, already a politician, and he took his own tests. Taking law school exams is only tangentially related to actually being a lawyer. I'm sure he was terrible at that. But a great law school exam answer spots all the issues in a set of facts, lays out the arguments for and against the plaintiff and the defendant, and cites some cases. That is a unique set of skills, and he was good at it.

Cenk is trying for the "open" seat left vacant by the bi-sexy Congress-lush who recently resigned. A few others have also expressed an interest, so he doesn't have a clear road. Not sure how safe a seat that is in the general if he does win. But he's already had blow-back from the leftists which cost him a Bernie endorsement.

389 bonhomme, you're right. He never wrote the case note reserved for the Law Review president by tradition. He already had a book contract and was working on "Dreams from my Father."

Everyone knew he was lazy and that the #2 was really going to run things.

No, the Beverly Hillbillies theme is shrouded in mystery;

"The kinfolk said 'Jed move away from there' Said 'Californy is the place you ought to be'"
