Of course. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez needs every penny confiscated in order to help pay for her GNS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muda69 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Ocasio-Cortez Threatens Democrats, If You Vote With Republicans You'll Be Put On A List: https://www.dailywire.com/news/44107/report-ocasio-cortez-threatens-democrats-if-you-hank-berrien Quote Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who recently declared, “I’m the boss!” is taking her power-hungry dreams to stomp on some of her fellow Democrats, reportedly informing them on Thursday that if they vote with Republicans she will “put them on a list” for a primary challenge. According to The Washington Post, the Democrats conducted a closed-door session during which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned over twenty supposed moderate members of her party, “We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision.” The Post then said Ocasio-Cortez, “the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.” Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman Corbin Trent added that she fumed that any Democrats voting with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.” He asserted, in reference to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), “She said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, they’re going to want a list of names and she’s going to give it to them.” Preceding the brouhaha in the Democratic camp, 26 Democrats joined Republicans to amend a bill increasing federal background checks for gun purchases. That bill included a section stating that if an illegal immigrant attempted to buy a firearm, ICE would have to be alerted. Some Democrats were rankled by that proviso. Some of the so-called moderate Democrats are freshmen in Congress, and the Post noted that they are bucking Ocasio-Cortez and her cohorts, saying that the reason the Democrats secured a majority in November was because they were elected as moderates. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), a co-chairman of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition, said, “It’s this class of members that got elected that are the reason we have the majority. Many of them come from these [moderate] districts, and their promise to their constituents was that they were going to put people over politics.” Another new congressman, Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-N.M.), reportedly took issue with Ocasio-Cortez’s high-handedness and spoke of the realities of representing a district that was more moderate. The Post reported, “Later, when one lawmaker talked about the peril of persistently voting with party leaders on these motions, Pelosi responded that the party stood ready to help team players: ‘We have a massive MASH operation and, frankly, it should be there for those who have the courage to take the vote.’” ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muda69 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will become a superhero in a new comic book: https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/25/politics/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-comic-book-trnd/index.html Quote Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is living every comic book fan's dream. The newly elected US congresswoman stars as a sassy superhero in an upcoming comic book titled, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: New Party Who Dis?" In one of the just-released book covers, Ocasio-Cortez stands over a knocked-out Republican elephant while a Democrat donkey looks on nervously in the background. Her superhero outfit is a white pantsuit, and her gadget is a smartphone, through which she wields her 3.2 million Twitter followers. Another cover shows her in a Wonder Woman-like outfit. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and has become an unofficial leader of the newest class of House Democrats. ... The comic book, by independent publisher Devil's Due, comes out in May. ... I'm sure it will be a best seller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of a rookie congressperson threaten her own party......"don't get on her list!!!!" Perhaps moderate Dems should feel threatened!! Now uncle Joe is being taken to task by libs for referring to VP Pence as a "decent guy".....and he waffled and backtracked already...... Bring out the popcorn....this is going to be fun!!

She did sound like an experienced prosecutor when questioning Cohen. Makes me think all those memes of her being a dunce might be more a result of misogyny than based in fact. And yes TD, that is a modest defense of the AOC based on her performance in the Cohen hearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not going to get her way easily at all.

The difference in opinions is how that technology develops and the extent of government involvement in either developing or forcing the technology and artificially manipulating the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I also think that the meme I posted has some validity; the oil barrens have so much influence in DC, they have been able to hold back a lot of the R&D as well as the ability to use alternative energy sources to their own benefit; leaning heavily on the government to do their dirty work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, to my point, get the government out of the equation, let the market it sort it out. The oil industry still stands to gain, even with alternative energy technologies. The already have a retail and distribution network in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
