The big news this week is Elon Musk retweeted a tweet by an account called “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody).” The tweet said, “This might be the wine talking, but I’ve got a crush on Elon Musk.”
I've been urging Alinsky's "rules" on conservative for eons. You can't win the game if you're sitting on the bench. And Alinsky agrees: #4--"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
Far too many republicans insist on Queensberry Rules, as if decorum and politesse will win the day against a prog-left using scurrilous smears and fabrications as their weapon of choice.
That’s why the crazy leftist invented EQ, (ie emotional intelligence) where losing gracefully and not reacting to the lies (like GWB practiced) is somehow a “higher consciousness”. Total BS.
The one thing Trump does that pisses off the left is ignore EQ by ramming facts down their scrawny throats until they gasp for air.
The Babylon Bee is an intellectual masterpiece. In a world where there is little to laugh at, they produce some very funny and creative material. The scary part is it is based on reality. The reality of AOC is she is using her position of influence to push destructive policy against this nation.. The greatest punch line in her story would be to see her (and her party) vaporize into the green environment.
The essence of comedy is truth. And, since Liberals have no sense of humor and are basically scolding Karen's, they react like a small child having a fit in the cereal aisle.
The essence of comedy is truth, the essence of “liberals” is the big lie boldly repeated without shame. They can not have a sense of humor regarding their lie for fear of the lie being exposed.
It is my understanding that AOC is bowing out of congress in 2024. What happened? Did AOC finally tire of being called STUPID every timed she turned around? Or was it that she realized her true calling was being a barista where you need no intelligence to do a job.
Its probably because AOC promised a lot to her constituents and the last few town halls have seen them pretty upset with her. The video from last months' was funny to watch. Either that or she is going to try for Schumer's seat. She bypassed that this last time.
That's what you think. I think the bureaucrats would be happy to let her office issue retractions and clarifications so they can go on doing whatever they want.
You should have seen what John Fetterman's office was doing while he lay dying in a hospital bed while his wife was off vacationing with their children. Republicans finally put a stop to it, but the damage was done. You may have a very good point indeed.
Obama, in addition to being THE most stupid president ever, was a con man. Obama took Oprah Winfrey for 30 million to build "Housing for the homeless.". Ask Oprah how that worked out and if you can't find anything, let me know and I'll tell you about it.
It was clear that Mr. Obama was on the puppet strings of some powerful people. He never did have any obvious original thought. It is clearly why Occidental, Columbia and Harvard never released his college records. They are held more tightly then the Kennedy assassination files. With that said, I’m not sure Oprah cares about $30 million. She’s a multi billionaire and that’s just walking around money.
Hey! A good bartender has to remember a lot of recipes for drinks as well what drinks are the favorites of regular customers. She probably went into politics because she wasn't getting many tips.
I suspect she did well on tips. A tight top, a little skin, and she'd have done fine. The guys chatting her up probably convinced her she was brillinant.
Not true. Baristas are highly intelligent. I have 2 barista granddaughters who are a peace dividend from me dropping the eternal vendetta of my legacy evangelistic church. 2 Catholic son in laws.
I've heard that from at least five supposed news sources. Besides, she has put on a bit of weight and judging from her facial makeup, she's been hitting the booze pretty hard.
I think it is more likely that NY had to condense their house districts and hers was adversely affected by it. Given the choice, the party would prefer she not run against the incumbent. They (Pelosi et al.) want to get rid of her. She’ll end up just fine in the Soros/media world.
As someone on Twitter said about AOC's hissy fit, if you're worried about somebody not being able to tell your account from a parody account, maybe the problem is you.
Honestly, without the designation I cannot really distinguish between the two, so today it's #1. The fact that she truly believes her own BS is more sad than anything else.
"It took conservatives a while but the Internet gives us the opportunity to point at liberals and laugh. They do not like it."
It's about all we have remaining having been sold out by Jim Jordan, MTG, et al. They might take the correct stand on a few key issues going forward, but if they do, it smacks more of opportunism than it does principle.
"'A world where a jury ordered a father to accept the chemical castration of his 7-year-old boy does not deserve serious commentary. It deserves a punch in the nose and a sharking of its pants.'"
All too true.
Indeed - the more parody, the better - but I am having a hell of a time figuring out why I would/should find as offensive any of those those ten items listed. They're hilarious!
If being blocked by the object of one's ridicule isn't victory, I don't know what is!
Another excellent piece from one who is without peer!
Looking forward to tomorrow's recap of utter foolishness.
What ever happened to "Sean Spicier" ? One of the funniest accounts ever because conservatives loved the new Spicer after he left as Trump's PresSec. They were one tiny letter off, it wasn't the real him :) Hmmm? Wonder if it's the same guy/gal behind AOC Press ? Some are even guessing it's Catturd, a naturally sharp and funny wit as well.
Dang. Getting up early means I am making a comment with all yall early birds. I promise it will not become a habit. Don....thanks for the article about AOC. An early bird special.
Don has singlehandly transitioned me from a dangerous bad tempered night owl to a 75 year old nuclear fusion ninja night owl with a rapidly enriching social life. I will be eternally grateful.
Congress has always been the home of equity. AOC just was proof that meritocracy was dead. Anytime she opened her mouth one realized she did not have the brain of Daniel Webster or the mind of Henry Clay. In fact I surmise she probably couldn’t make a good margarita. Yet, she is the face of the Democratic house and probably the future Democrat Senate.
Well, I over thought the poll again and I’m in the minority again. Come on folks AOC is stupid and pathetically ignorant. Add in ugly as a donkey and what you get is NOT FUNNY!
The thing with the Trump parodies is they were so stupid no one believed it was him. Anal Oral crossconnected on the other hand is so stupid everyone believes the parodies are her.
Mocking liberals is low hanging fruit. There is so much material.
The Xiden administration is loaded with mockery targets. Maybe too many.
The mockery does need to increase exponentially.
What makes the mockery even more effective is that liberals have no, zero, zip, nada sense of humor. Their outrage is my joy.
Low hanging fruit is the sweetest.
That's why mocking liberals is now called "hate speech" and shut down.
This is very true. Before Musk acquired Twitter, the Babylon Bee was banned from the site. After Musk, they are back on Twitter.
The Bee’s banning was actually the last straw of Twitter nonsense for Musk, - that’s right when he decided to buy it.
Libs cant meme that is for sure......

Gracious losing is for losers.
Even good sportsmanship is about giving as good as you get. Save the decorum for the golf course. For everything else, fight fire with fire. Cheers.

There is a very good reason why Medieval courts had jesters.
The jester did not just mock the King without consequence.
He mocked everyone from bishops to chambermaids.
With everyone watching each other their responses to mockery would reveal much.
It worked then .
It works now.
In boring meetings when some pretentious prat would be droning on, in love with their own voice, I used to delight in smiling knowingly at them.
Timed right, without saying a word, it could derail their train of “thought” and shut them down.
Good times…
Policymakers planning the demise of beef and pork industries in favor of crickets and mealworms deserve all the ridicule we can muster.
Amen.
Yes, yes, yes! And quickly!!
They deserve more than that. They need to be made to stop this.
I was planning a cricket and mealworm dinner for Sunday.
I am planning a steak BBQ for Sunday.
I know, right? MEALworm...it’s right there in the name! LOL

The parody account is funny. The AOC account is just sad, concerning, and downright frightening because people do read and believe what she says.
Sadly, so does she.

"Mock them till they cry." Indeed, sir. Indeed.
Yes, mock them. I agree!
Mr. Surber, while reading these, I could hear Tucker Carlson's gleeful laugh. Thank you.
We want Tucker back!

AOC is so extreme (.. and dumb) that I'd love to see Schumer removed and have an idiot like AOC in his place because nothing would get done.
That's what you think. I think the bureaucrats would be happy to let her office issue retractions and clarifications so they can go on doing whatever they want.
You should have seen what John Fetterman's office was doing while he lay dying in a hospital bed while his wife was off vacationing with their children. Republicans finally put a stop to it, but the damage was done. You may have a very good point indeed.
People thought the same thing about Obama. How did that work out for us?
Obama, in addition to being THE most stupid president ever, was a con man. Obama took Oprah Winfrey for 30 million to build "Housing for the homeless.". Ask Oprah how that worked out and if you can't find anything, let me know and I'll tell you about it.

Credentialed but not educated: Obama + con man.
Obama is a narcissistic petulant radical hater of America! Prove me wrong Marxists!

The guys chatting her up were too drunk to realize she isn't.
She is one of those gals who can go from being a ten to a two in three words or less.
Not gonna argue that
She is everything that is wrong with today's education system.
Not true. Baristas are highly intelligent. I have 2 barista granddaughters who are a peace dividend from me dropping the eternal vendetta of my legacy evangelistic church. 2 Catholic son in laws.
Best. Decision. Ever.
One more reason my nick name Mad Dog has endured.
Could her red lipstick be losing traction ? 👄
I will be shocked if she leaves her meal ticket and attention podium in 2024.
I've heard that from at least five supposed news sources. Besides, she has put on a bit of weight and judging from her facial makeup, she's been hitting the booze pretty hard.
So she'll be at home in the Senate then.
They do nothing but cause trouble in the Senate except for, perhaps, Ted Cruz.
I think it is more likely that NY had to condense their house districts and hers was adversely affected by it. Given the choice, the party would prefer she not run against the incumbent. They (Pelosi et al.) want to get rid of her. She’ll end up just fine in the Soros/media world.
Look for her on Netflix next.Cartoon specialty based on her life achievements,
The parody account is funny. The AOC account is just sad, concerning, and downright frightening because people do read and believe what she says.
The AOC parody account is indistinguishable from her real account, or almost.
As someone on Twitter said about AOC's hissy fit, if you're worried about somebody not being able to tell your account from a parody account, maybe the problem is you.
Honestly, without the designation I cannot really distinguish between the two, so today it's #1. The fact that she truly believes her own BS is more sad than anything else.

Love catturd - one of a handful of accounts that make even Musk's Twitter an enjoyable occasional guilty pleasure.

Considering Feinstien and Dead Man Walking from PA, I agree. You nailed it.
The mind of Cassius Clay is a possibility. He had an excuse, too many shots to the head.
Well, I over thought the poll again and I’m in the minority again. Come on folks AOC is stupid and pathetically ignorant. Add in ugly as a donkey and what you get is NOT FUNNY!
She does have a Donkeyish smile. Her teeth are longer though.
