If AOC drew an attendee for every headline the media posted about her rally in New York, she would have had more people than the ones who showed up for her . . . And Bernie Sanders. It was a rally for Fire Alarm-Pulling Jamaal Bowman who likely will lose today’s Democrat primary for his congressional seat.
JJ over at ace.mu.nu calls AOC "Titty Caca" and it fits imho. A woman raised in wealth flying down to the Bronx to 'represent' them with 17% of the 'vote'. She was a bartender which I respect greatly and didn't learn a thing which is basic life stuff.
Degree on economics from BU and knows nothing. That is who 'governs' you.
When I worked at a university, we employees called that field of study the Advanced Macrame Degree. Similar qualifications for attending college used to be called the MRS degree. Used mainly for pretty girls wearing an engagement ring.
AOC has produced and done nothing in Congress for her time there. Moreover, she chased Amazon out of her district, a company that would have provided employment to her constituency. She’s useless and should be booted out. There’s gotta be a bar in the city where she could get a job bartending.
I think she's even too stupid for a network to pick her up after her political run hopefully SOON comes to a hard crashing end. All she is is a pretty young face that houses a HUGE MOUTH. She's literally NOTHING other than that.
I have no problem with her being unproductive in congress - if only all of them were thus - no new laws, no new spending.
I DO have a problem with her being paid for doing nothing, however - I'd prefer representatives be incentivized by the number of laws that can be repealed, negated, or otherwise abolished.
Perhaps those 100’s of people standing on the sides of the stage were just strolling through the park and stopped to rubberneck the freak show.
As a born and bred Southerner it annoys the heck out of me when people from the north, especially NY, use the word “y’all”. That’s cultural appropriation and racial pandering.
Bowman lamenting the killing of babies is despicable, given his whole hearted support of tax payer funded abortion right up until birth.
My pet peeve is anybody who uses the annoying "y'all" instead of the very clear, concise and grammatically appropriate "you." Sorry, all you Johnny Rebs. It is most particularly annoying when used by someone born and raised in a state north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Of course, I also abhor those in my geographical vicinity (western Pennsylvania) who use the even more abominable and execrable "you'uns" (pronounced "yinz"). It is akin to sticking an icepick in my ear canal. Not that I have ever stuck an icepick in my ear canal, but I imagine that is what it would feel like.
Eeesh! I've never heard of this 'yinz' thing you describe, nor do I think I would ever want to.
But I'm fine with ya'll.
I 'aged in place' in MD (which technically I guess was the south, but not in reality) and now I'm a political refugee in the FL panhandle where it's use is perfectly fine. I am not sympathetic to the position of the South in the first civil war, but I think I will be if we have a second one!
My son decided on entering high school to divest himself of any trace of any accent. Now, he does voiceover radio commercials. He wouldn't dare tell me which products or services. He knows I can keep a secret but the people I'd tell can't.
As a southerner, I find “y’all” helpful to distinguish between plural and singular. What’s the alternative? All of you? Your group/family? When my brother moved to CA, “y’all” disappeared from his speech and was replaced with “you guys”. Now that he’s recently returned to his home state, I’ll have to listen and see if he starts saying “y’all”. :)
Heads Up. The US Supreme Court has signaled that it will release opinions Wednesday, Thursday And Friday. (It’s the annual end of term for the Court.) If you are not already an expert on the Supreme Court you have until 10 am tomorrow to become one.
I pray that they give Donald Trump presidential immunity the day of the debate. Pedo Joe will be a dribbling mess by the time he arrives at the podium no matter how many drugs they shoot into him.
Translated to legalese: I am confident that Court will recognize that a former President retains immunity for actions in Article III proceeding unless convicted by the Senate under Article I. (The Court does not give rights)
AOC is the personification of her generation. Narcissistic Moron with a voice. The Bronx deserves her. AOC anachronism should be Another Overrated C word (sorry mom). FJB
Cortez and her Squad are an embarrassment and insult to the voting public and the country. Anyone who would vote for these commie clowns is a lost cause. You will never convince voters like them to switch sides. Bowman is quite possibly the dumbest of them and he doesn’t care one iota about fixing any of our problems. He is the classic reparations guy. He’s a radical not interested in any compromise, just like the rest of the Squad. You may ask, “how could anyone justify Hamas actions on Oct 7th”? The Squad doesn’t care at all about Hamas or the Palestinian people. Their job is division and they will support anything that helps foster it amongst Americans. They are essentially card carrying communists whose job is to create division and unrest. Ever hear any of them propose an actual fix to any of our problems that had a chance of getting majority support? Bowman, for his part, is so dumb he thought that pulling that fire alarm to delay or prevent a pending vote was a good idea. Had he been a GOP member he would already be gone. There is no place for people like the Squad members in a legislative body. We have horrible and pressing problems to fix and these people do not want them fixed. Their job is to prevent fixes. Keep voting for them and the country will never recover.
I hope this is relevant. We just dumped (last nite) a 30 yr (+) Liberal Stronghold here in TO for a conservative newcomer, all the while watching the liberal party pull dnc level political tricks (like not releasing the results (or ongoing cumulative results at all)) until everyone had gone to bed.
Its happening kids. Keep your eyes peeled and your ammo dry!
Please explain further! What leftist (I never use the word "liberal" to describe marxists as they could not be more illiberal) stronghold do you hail from?? So you're saying the marxists are being run out of town on a rail?!
The European countries seemed to 'get it' last month when several of them took a sharp RIGHT turn! 😊
Yep. Here in Toronto we have several ridings that are almost heritage level ridings and have been a given Liberal (Party of Canada, like the DNC in the States) win in any Federal Election for decades. There was a by-election in one of them because the former (Liberal) Member of Parliament (a member of one of Canada’s Patrician Families) stepped down. However despite the deputy Prime Minister committing a felony yesterday in order to help the loser, the msm (who are publicly supported by the Feds with huge cheques if they write nice things about them) and now, this morning, with unverified complaints of voter fraud, they lost to a Conservative newcomer.
Just like y’all (take it easy Steve , I’m from ‘Southern’ Ontario), we’ve had it, and it’s starting to show! The problem for us is our election is almost a year after yours!
What a wonderful world it would be with DJT in the White House and Justine Castreau in the dog house. We Americans and you Canadians have suffered long enough.
Waiting to see Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and AOC dressed as the Marx Brothers doing a song and dance routine to a group of vagrants sleeping on park benches.
To the sane ones among us, the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party appears to be a group of unhinged anti-Americans. Well, they are. They are also In Your Face looters of the Treasury. Democratic voters are okay with the looting but while the Squad loots, every Squad member has taken actions that inflicted financial pain on their constituents. See Occasional Cortex's opposition to Amazon's new facility. As a significant portion of Jewish voters finally acknowledge, a la black voters, that the Democrats are flogging them like slaves, we will see the sun set on the Squad and other anti-Israel politicians.
I hope you are right. However, I’m not sure how that can happen in districts where there are concentrations of Muslims who will always vote for the Muslim candidate, ie Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib.
Can't remember where I heard this - hopefully not here:
How can you tell if Sandy Occasional Cortex has been baking chocolate chip cookies? M&M shells all over the floor.
What's 13? Sandy in a bar, trying to order a Seven and Seven.
AOC: singlehandedly putting an end to dumb blonde jokes.
AOC said, "Good news. My IQ tests came back negative."
Reminds me of what Sen Kennedy said about Kamala recently..."when her IQ gets to 70 she should sell"! Funny... but also true.
AOC said Don wants to date her... Don't do it Don!
Hah!!!
Don WHO?!
No, Don Ho! She needs a lei...
😜
(That's a garland of flowers.)
Another roar of laughter.
There you go - proving me wrong. But making me laugh.
Solution: Hang a lamb chop around AOC's neck. Then a few stray dogs will attend her rally.
How could you do that to poor Lambchop?
Waste of a lambchop, dogs ain't bright but they ain't that stupid
Dump her down the right manhole with that chop you might get a gator to play with her.

Degree on economics from BU and knows nothing. That is who 'governs' you.
My favorite lake
Highest navigable lake in the world.
"Titty Caca" is CLASSIC!!
But one minor correction - she (supposedly) "represents" her constituents, not governs them.
And I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning to state a clear distinction between the two. 🤪
A bachelor's in economics is almost as worthless as one in gender studies.
Unless there are serious statistics, quantitative and qualitative analysis requirements, it's no more than the generic business administration degree.
When I worked at a university, we employees called that field of study the Advanced Macrame Degree. Similar qualifications for attending college used to be called the MRS degree. Used mainly for pretty girls wearing an engagement ring.
Giggling loudly. Choking. Need to get my cough drops.
AOC has produced and done nothing in Congress for her time there. Moreover, she chased Amazon out of her district, a company that would have provided employment to her constituency. She’s useless and should be booted out. There’s gotta be a bar in the city where she could get a job bartending.
I think she's even too stupid for a network to pick her up after her political run hopefully SOON comes to a hard crashing end. All she is is a pretty young face that houses a HUGE MOUTH. She's literally NOTHING other than that.
Being smart is not a job qualification for a Democratic Congresswoman. Might actually work against you..
Sadly, that is also true for man6 GOP congressmen. Following orders seems to be the prime qualification.
Totally!
I disagree. She'd be a great fit for The View. Same idiotic reasoning and brakeless mouth, but a slight improvement on the present kooks' looks.
Ahhh, you're right! I totally scrubbed that cesspit out of my brain but yes, she'd fit right in there.
I have no problem with her being unproductive in congress - if only all of them were thus - no new laws, no new spending.
I DO have a problem with her being paid for doing nothing, however - I'd prefer representatives be incentivized by the number of laws that can be repealed, negated, or otherwise abolished.

As a former Yankee now a Tennesseean, all I can say is, Bless your heart, Steve.
Yep. You caught a right smart dose of it.
Funny, Jim, funny. Hey, Steve, we love you anyway.
Eeesh! I've never heard of this 'yinz' thing you describe, nor do I think I would ever want to.
But I'm fine with ya'll.
I 'aged in place' in MD (which technically I guess was the south, but not in reality) and now I'm a political refugee in the FL panhandle where it's use is perfectly fine. I am not sympathetic to the position of the South in the first civil war, but I think I will be if we have a second one!
My own personal preference for a group of people is you guys (gender irrelevant) or alla (all of) you guys.
Much better pronounced "youse guyz" LOL
When my husband was in Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, there was a guy from NY in his unit who always said, “youse mugs”.
My son decided on entering high school to divest himself of any trace of any accent. Now, he does voiceover radio commercials. He wouldn't dare tell me which products or services. He knows I can keep a secret but the people I'd tell can't.
So, how do you like it when someone from the Bronx says, “youse guys”?
As a southerner, I find “y’all” helpful to distinguish between plural and singular. What’s the alternative? All of you? Your group/family? When my brother moved to CA, “y’all” disappeared from his speech and was replaced with “you guys”. Now that he’s recently returned to his home state, I’ll have to listen and see if he starts saying “y’all”. :)
I'm a life-long Texan, rarely use y'all, my personal preference and general go-to is you all

On that note: I just read a hilarious comment elsewhere referring to this week’s debate, that said,
“if Joe Biden goes after Trump for being a convicted felon, Trump should respond, ‘At least I was determined competent to stand trial.’
Mic drop.”
Thought that was most awesome.
That is another of those "wish I'd said it" thangs.
I think the fact that you think the real stiff will be propped up against T is cute.
I read on CFP last night that the SC term is to be extended into July even with opinions to be released on Wednesday , Thursday , & Friday
“And, in other “FAFO” news the Squad has awakened a sleeping AIPAC, and filled them with a terrible resolve. Women, minorities hardest hit.”
It may be hard to generate enthusiasm for any piece about AOC - even enthusiastic hostility.
Do we see what it means to the Swamp Scum to keep their memberships? They will virtually do anything it takes.
Yep. The problem is that conservatives - for the most part - WON'T.
EXCEPT FOR TRUMP!!
And that is why they HATE TRUMP so much -- because TRUMP. NEVER. QUITS!!
❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙
And he cannot be bought. This is very offensive to the Swamp.
Never, ever trust a Republican.
Huh???

WOW!! Maybe the 'worm' really is turning?!! 🙏
Wait
We care about Canada?
T.o.r.O.n.t.o
Owens was such a thrill to watch but alas, no Canadian connection. He didn’t even play in the CFL
Yep. Here in Toronto we have several ridings that are almost heritage level ridings and have been a given Liberal (Party of Canada, like the DNC in the States) win in any Federal Election for decades.

I was thinking more like the Big House for Justine
I think the outhouse would also be an appropriate place for him.
That's great, eh!
That is most heartening news, especially coming from Canada, and Toronto no less!
Three cheers!
You go Can-a-da!!!
Waiting to see Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and AOC dressed as the Marx Brothers doing a song and dance routine to a group of vagrants sleeping on park benches.
How come a hook and ladder didn't show up like a float in a parade, put Bowman in a straight-jacket, and drive him to a sanatorium?
