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.

Dump her down the right manhole with that chop you might get a gator to play with her.

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.

"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.

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.

Sadly, that is also true for man6 GOP congressmen. Following orders seems to be the prime qualification.

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.

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.

The demoincrats personify the word “frauds”.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

So, how do you like it when someone from the Bronx says, “youse guys”?

Expand full comment

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”. :)

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)

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.’

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!

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!

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.
