Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't officially a member of Congress yet, and she is already having a temper tantrum.

From The Hill, 31 December 2018:

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ripping her fellow Democrats for failing to take up her proposed special climate change committee called the Green New Deal because it was deemed "too controversial."

Ocasio-Cortez in a Twitter thread Monday blamed House leadership for rejecting the idea behind the Green New Deal, which aimed to create a plan to get the country on a 100 percent renewable energy electric grid.

"A few weeks ago, I joined youth activists in a specific demand for a Green New Deal Committee. It had 3 simple elements: 1. No fossil fuel money on climate cmte 2. Offer solutions for impacted communities 3. Draft sample #GreenNewDeal All 3 were rejected as "too controversial," she tweeted.


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's problem isn't that she is a Democrat or a Socialist.

Her problem is that she believes that her election equals a mandate from all Americans.

No, it doesn't.

She was elected to speak on behalf of the residents of her congressional district.

She doesn't speak for everyone else in the USA.

It is bad enough that she is woefully naive about the complications involved in converting all America to 100% renewable energy.

Has she told her constituents just how much her Green New Deal would cost them? Of course not! She doesn't know how much it would cost. It is as if she doesn't know where New York City gets its heat during winter. Perhaps she doesn't.

Then there is this from economist Dr. Charles N. Steele: "Scientific economic analysis suggests radical responses are unnecessary, even if we accept the basic models of global warming. Economics also shows that attempts by government planners to redirect the economy will result in unsustainable catastrophe, not sustainable development."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still has much to learn about reality.

Face it, renewable energy is the future. We cannot go on burning fossil fuels and polluting our air and water for ever.

She is the dumbest person ever elected to Congress. The Democrats should be proud.

I'm still amused, that the baby shaker got any votes.
She seriously looks like she ate the whole
bag of crazy.

It's about right. Declaring mandates doesn't make the engineering go any faster. There isn't one that can instantly make it happen. I'm sure a few would like to. The one that does, could put his or her name next to the likes of Tesla or Edison. Pinheads like Cortez just have no concept on how it can come about. They have that cockeyed idea that if they declare it, it will happen....NOT!

Sounds like she's taking a page from that doofus Algore's book.

Her priorities were no secret during her campaign. She was elected by voters in her district. Seems indicative of her constituents being in agreement with her agenda. Passionately working towards stated goals that those she represents voted in favor of by electing her should be commended. It's the level of performance that should be delivered by all elected officials, in my opinion.

Just the overture has started. We haven't even seen the curtain raise for the first act. How big an egg will this play, lay? (And how bad will that egg stink?)

Perhaps she is engaging in truthful hyperbole, or swinging for goals bigger than can be hit in order to appease people, or throwing stuff out to see what sticks, because she hasnt the EXPERIENCE to know otherwise or understand what she has the capacity and authority to do yet. but at least she is not starting her learning curve IN THE WHITE HOUSE>

And we need politicians who can dance... right Dave? **** the country... if you can tap dance... your in.?



not necessarily,but when the republicans are so UTTERLY DESPERATE to try to discredit their opponents that they dig up 'dirt' from her past and try to use it to embarrass her as a political strategy,but they are SO INCOMPETENT that all they can do is post videos that show her dancing and being cute,and adorable,i think THAT says A LOT about them,PLUS,it ALSO says A LOT about HER,if that is the best that they can come up with on her to try to discredit,or embarrass her!!

[trump would KILL AND EAT HIS OWN CHILDREN to be THAT free from embarrassments from his past!!!!]

so,the question is.....would you rather have a politician who is so morally,and ethically above reproach that a video of her dancing when she was in college is the most embarrassing thing that they can find on her,or somebody whose whole life has been nothing but an ethical,and moral train wreck?

BUT,when you find the evidence that she is a sexual predator,has paid hush money to porn stars she slept with,cheated everybody she has ever been in business with,or been in a relationship with,discriminated against people of color,and has been sued so many times that she needs a whole staff of crooked lawyers to keep track of them,let me know,cuz THOSE are the things that should really matter!

I find most "representatives" don't understand this.

Her problem is that she believes that her election equals a mandate from all Americans.

That's what a lot of media outlets and "representatives" were saying in the last elections, and a lot of people seem to believe.
That voting in a democrat was a referendum on Trump, that dems were given control of the house because they disagreed, or didn't like, or wanted to fight against Trump.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still has much to learn about reality.

Reality is the spin politicians can get the media to perpetuate and give the most air time to.

If someone is about to become a LIFETIME SCOTUS judge, and someone comes forward to accuse them of a sexual assault, what should be done? regardless of political affiliation.

dancing is not a crime or something that really is a litmus test for politicians, sexual assault may be a different story for a SCOTUS judge.


apples and oranges.

sorry to disappoint you,but the difference between kavnaugh,and
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is that when they dug into kavanaugh's past,THEY FOUND SOMETHING in his past!
[several somethings,actually!!]

in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's past,all hey could come up with was the video of her dancing!!

so,your comparison is basically the equivalent of trying to compare mother Teresa with Adolph hitler.
[or,should I say,mother Teresa with donald trump?]

so,once again...

would you rather have a politician who is so morally,and ethically above reproach that a video of her dancing when she was in college is the most embarrassing thing that they can find on her,or somebody whose whole life has been nothing but an ethical,and moral train wreck?

it is REALLY a VERY simple question,with a VERY simple answer!

the republicans are so insecure about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,and so DESPERATE to try to find ANY sort of dirt on her that they possible can that NOW they are stealing naked bathtub pictures pictures of OTHER PEOPLE off of the internet,and trying to claim that they are her to try to undermine her reputation,and take some of her momentum away from her!!!

unfortunately for them,they are ALSO SO INCOMPETENT that they are using pictures that the people who they actually belong to are publically coming out and owning them because they recognize them as being THEIR pictures,and not naked bathtub pictures of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!!!

when the opposition goes to THAT MUCH trouble to try to undermine somebody,you know that they have to be ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of their chances if they have to face her in any upcoming elections!!!!

The real difference is Kavanaugh was interrogated by a hostile gang that found him guilty before any investigation had begun and A.O.C.has been disputed and questioned by members of congress and the media who wonder how the country will pay for all her freebies. Intelligent folks see the differance.

do 'intelligent' folks worry about all the 'freebies' the other representatives and politicians are using?

Kavanaugh was interviewed for a JOB, he was questioned about an allegation, thats how the country works, someone accuses you of being unfit for a lifetime position as SCOTUS, you are given an opportunity to address it in an interview to determine the best candidate for said LIFETIME position. If any group of individuals should sail through and understand that concept, it should be a JUDGE.
