    This women should be expelled from congress for this threat to misuse her power and Republicans should do so while they can.

    She threatened a citizen, personally, with the power of her office. It is disgusting, and illegal. You can continue to try and spin it, I don't give a ****. I am firmly tethered to reality.

    Good! She can learn that she represents the Citizens that elected her, she does not rule over them. I'll enjoy watching learn that all the crap in her head is wrong.

    Things didn't go well for CNN when they doxxed a child over memes. This was a blunder no two ways about it.

    She should read The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War

    The "previously untold story of the violence in Congress that helped spark the Civil War."

    We know from history that civil wars are proceeded by beatings, knifings, and shootings in the national legislature.

    She didn't mention Congress, she said she would have subpoena power. It was a personal threat. The fact that she was too stupid to realize she personally won't have subpoena power didn't change that threat.

    Who did Trump threaten to subpoena? Nobody?

    I agree we need better turnout but you can't force people to vote.

    He threatens our institutions, the free press, Comey, Clinton, Republicans who don't cowtow to his desires, Democrats who say they
    are going to reopen investigations that were terminated by Republicans. In the age of Trump, civility has gone the way of all flesh and anyone and anything is fair game. He is lacking in moral fiber and is about as dishonorable as one can get.

    Never said force them. If they don't have a 51% turnout, they don't need a representative in Congress. It's quite clear they have decided that, or they would vote.

    Your response is not realistic in the world of Trump. He says what he feels like saying, no matter what. Reality and civility has become a thing of the past.

    Come on, man. Do you really think she has any idea what she's doing? She's an embarrassment.

    It was an incredibly stupid tweet, speaking of ignorance and lack of self control. I do think she was referring to troubles laying ahead for JR, rather than her own personal vendetta, but still - weak and stupid.

    LOL

    And then providing another glimpse of the talent, knowledge, and intellect she brings to the House, she claims she could run for President because "The Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35."

    https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2018/12/08/ocasio-cortez-for-2028-359210

    Excerpt - emphasis added for clarity

    12/08/2018 10:35 AM EST ​

    AOC: “No, not for a long time. Thank God. Although we’ve been joking that because the Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been passed yet, the Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35. … So what we’ll do is we’ll force the Republican Party to pass the Equal Rights Amendment by threatening to run for president.”​

    No wonder so many young people on the left identify with her....

    Hasn't "any idea what she's doing"?, "" An embarrassment"?

    Come to think of it:

    She has So MUCH in common with Trump.:flagus:

    Based on the RW Echo Chamber"s support for that ORANGE IMBECILE:

    One can only conclude that the RW Loves Clueless Embarrassments.

    Does the RW really think that Trump has any idea what he is doing? He's an embarrassment.

    Agreed, she's an embarrassment. Worse still, with her current momentum, she'll prove ineffective in consensus building, log rolling or caucusing for specific legislation that will effect her congressional district.

    She may improve in time but Democrat's Whip needs to pull her aside now and tell the freshman congress critter to shut up and listen for few months. The job now isn't to publicly demonstrate partisanship or tilt at windmills, it's to work within congress with other members to pass legislation.

    So, they won't be addressing problems with our immigration laws, the legal insider trading done by congress, or problems with social programs?

    How about getting us out of Afghanistan and any other conflict killing and maiming our soldiers for nothing?

    Get rid of all of them. They waste tax dollars. They are a worthless pile of excrement. Replace them with sensible folks who want to address the real issues that allow unpopular and/or illegal things to happen.

    Donald Trump Jr. on Friday shared a meme on Instagram showing the difference between socialism and capitalism. Naturally, the picture he chose featured member-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Socialist darling from New York.

    Apparently Ocasio-Cortez didn't like what was said because she threatened Trump Jr.

    The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis put Ocasio-Cortez in check by reminding her that threatening Trump Jr. violates House Ethics. Imagine that! She's violating ethics before she even gets to Washington, D.C.!.....snip~

    Ahahahahah…..check out what Trump Jr used to set up AOC. Now that is some funny ****. [​IMG]

    Awesome meme by Trump Jr. Then note how Media types jump all over AOC. What say ye?
