Clyburn to Ocasio-Cortez: Stay in Your Lane, Little Girl

[Stormy Daniels]

That somehow prohibits them from saying something you don't like? Ocasio-Cortez could use a healthy dose of being put in her place. She's acting like she's some kind of ascendant messiah, when in reality she's nothing more than a peon who got lucky to win a primary in a small district with nearly no turnout. She got a shade less than 16,000 votes. District 14 has a population of nearly 700,000 people. She really has no qualifications to be in Congress, and the Republican she'll be running against has plenty to offer the heavily progressive district. There's a real possibility that her primary win will turn the district red.

The key issues for his campaign focus on economic and social issues that have long been in the news, but politicians never seem to reform or resolve. Among the issues, Pappas noted the importance of establishing a fairer tax system with progressive taxation on corporate profits, establishing tax brackets so that huge corporate profits are taxed at a higher rate. He would also restore the deductibility of state and local taxes for taxpayers in New York and other states, and would make international deals to eliminate tax havens for companies and individuals in the Cayman Islands and other places. Controlling government spending to reduce the tax burden is another issue on Pappas’ agenda. He noted that “the New York City budget is $85 billion; the New York City population is 8.5 million, that works out on average to $10,000 per person or $40,000 for a family of four. Think about that.”

Enforcing anti-trust laws by resisting corporate mergers and monopolies is also on Pappas’ campaign agenda as well as protecting the environment by joining international climate agreements, clearly indicating that he is not a typical Republican candidate. The issue that is most important to Pappas is criminal justice and civil justice reform. He plans to “stop the over-criminalization of America,” noting that the United States “has 25 percent of the world’s prisoners but only 5 percent of the world’s population.” Among the reforms he would see implemented are establishing “humane conditions in prisons” and assisting the “transition to civilian life after release from prison.”​

"She has no qualifications to be in Congress" ?

She's a resident there. What more "qualifications" does one need?

See, this is the whole crux of the matter --- deifying these people into some kind of special "élite". Ain't supposed to work like that. Representatives are supposed to represent. They're not supposed to be some privileged class -- they should be the plumbers and the teachers and the bricklayers and the waitresses. It ain't supposed to be Skull and Bones.

In that case, Donald Trump is perfectly qualified to be President. Just because someone meets the constitutional requirements does not mean they are qualified.

He's technically qualified, as he meets the Constitutional requirements.

But that doesn't make his character acceptable for the gig, which is not in the Constitution except where it sets up the Electoral College.

So what have you got on Ocasio-Cortez' character? Or whatever criteria you're using to declare her 'not qualified'?

He was born in Queens, so he is not an American. (-:

Seriously, for years I thought we should just reform the EC by agreeing to each state to allocate their EV based upon the % each candidate gets in that state. But, you bring up an interesting point. If character was an issue, shouldn't some of the electors have chose a different candidate, and perhaps not Hillary either?

Trump was born in Jamaica Hospital which makes him not native born

You forgot about the breach baby exception. If the doctor is a citizen and he has to reach in and pull the baby out feet first, the birth is considered to have taken place on American soil.

Who died and made you god of elections that you alone can decide what additional criteria should or should not be applicable? Maybe it's not her character but her experience, or lack thereof. Maybe it's lack of fundamental knowledge. Maybe it's the lunacy of her policy ideas.

In any event, it's not on me to demonstrate a lack of qualifications. It's on her and her supporters to affirmatively show that she does have qualifications. And she has failed miserably, substituting her race and false claims about her childhood that amounted to nothing more than an appeal to pity anyway.

Yeah I'm afraid it is exactly on you. It's your claim. What planet do you come from where other people have to put legs on your assertion?

Again what exactly "lack of experience" are you citing? "Experience" in -- what? When did "experience" become a qualification?
I put that question to you before and you seem to be running away.

As for whatever her policy ideas are, that will be for her prospective constituents to judge. Do you live in Queens?

That was supposed to be the idea. And a couple of electors took the responsibility seriously. Unfortunately a number of states have completely unConstitutional laws that require them to WTA the state result. Which really need to go get their asses taken to court. Those laws prevent the Electors from exercising their Constitutional duties and ensure the perpetuation of Duopoly.

If she acts like an insignificant member of Congress, she will be treated like one

Right now, everyone knows her name. She is at the top of the Conservative hate list.

Now, is the time to make her demands and build her brand

And the dems have to stand for something. Abolishing ICE is whackadoodle because it's a shitty catchphrase. ICE is a clustefuck because it was initially set up post-911 to track down muslims who didn't need to be here. We need to enforce immigration laws. ICE was never really about that. And immigration is a political nightmare. The dems need to stay away from unilateral action on issues where there are inevitably going to be unpopular tradeoffs. Look at Trump and Obamacare. He wrecked his ship on that rock.

There are plenty of issues the Trump-gop has given the dems. Teach for America was not a horrible idea. Let kids earn a BA. Find ways to let kids earn nursing and science degrees. The gop taxed college endowments to give the 1% a tax cut. They've pretty much given the dems the educ issue.

Flyover states don't care much about infrastructure, but it plays on the Left Coast and NE corridor.

The dems need to figure out how they're next going to approach healthcare.

They've pretty much given the dems the educ issue.
they have?....as a person who lived in California for 50 years, i have seen that state go from top 5 to bottom 10....and all heard during that time was excuses as to the why that happened.......

Illegal and legal immigrants.

 

[flacaltenn]

You are responding to something you know nothing about. Clyburn is chastising Cortez because of the way she is treating her fellow members of congress. As one said "we are colleagues not subjects and she is going to have to get along with us." Cortez has imagined herself the boss over the entire congress.

Cortez believes the election to be over when it has barely begun. Crowley is still popular and still running against her. The democrat vote might be split yet.

If Crowley IS on the ballot, then she's gonna come in 3rd. End of story. BUT -- the DEBATE ought to interesting because she's running against "a kinder gentler" Repub. So she'll offer the dreams, he'll deliver actual plans and proposals. I'm gonna book the date.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Crowley could well cause the dem vote to be split and a republican takes the seat. Cortez is acting like it's a done deal. It's not.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

It's your claim.

What are you talking about? I never claimed she was qualified.

They're not gonna get anything done on immigration so long as Trump's in the WH. There was a bipartisan fix for DACA (not that I particularly liked it), but anything they do on this or on spending is going to take presidential leadership and both parties willing to do something their bases will not totally approve of.

It's no wonder Congress' approval rating is abysmal. Here you have one Congressman chastising one incoming: remember your place. Remember that you haven't earned a thing, you don't deserve a place of "honor" and I gave you everything you have.

Do any of these ladder-climbers and back-biters realize they work for US? This is infuriating. As a teacher, I too am paid by the taxpayers. The difference is: I see my "constituents" every blessed day, face to face. They can see what I do for their children--and this is how it should be.

These cretins are far, far from their own paycheck-signers and so this is what they care about. Their own egos, committee positions, and making sure the New Girls on the Block knows her place.

Despicable.

PS I am no fan of Ocasio-Cortez, believe me. But if she ends up winning the general in her district, she has earned her place just like Clyburn and should NOT have to answer to him. What is this, anyway? Sheesh.

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn sent a warning shot Wednesday toward a likely incoming freshman who beat one of Clyburn’s fellow members of House leadership in a primary, suggesting she may have a long wait before she has a chance at leadership.

Clyburn, who is the number three Democrat in the House of Representatives, directed the comments at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York candidate who beat Rep. Joe Crowley last month in an upset.

“I would ask her to remember how long I had to wait to get here,” Clyburn said on BuzzFeed News’ AM to DM on Wednesday morning when asked if Ocasio-Cortez would have to wait for her turn at seniority.

“Let’s not forget the history of all of this,” said Clyburn. “And I think that all of the folks who have that mentality seem not to give much respect to those of us who sat in jails, as I did, so that they would have the kind of activities or the kinds of rights that they have today.”

“So do I get any credit for being on the cutting edge of all of that? Or should the credit go to my children and grandchildren who are the beneficiaries of it? I think that we have to balance this out.”

Trump gave the libtards everything they wanted in the DACA deal and they refused it. Libtards are the modern day Yassir Arafat. Demand, demand, and demand, and when the demands are met they say, "Nevermind, we refuse to do what we agreed to do if our demands were met!"

Watch the Election Ad From a Veteran That Everyone Is Talking About

A combat veteran and mom running for Congress has racked up nearly 4 million views online with a viral ad that tells her personal story – and attacks her Republican opponent.

""""MJ Hegar is a Democrat trying to break through against Rep. John Carter in Texas’ 31st Congressional District. The Cook Political Report rates the race as “likely Republican.”

The ad, titled “Doors,” tracks Hegar’s journey through the doors she says she has opened for herself and others. Hegar narrates the highly produced spot and describes her military career, which included three tours in Afghanistan as a Medevac pilot. Her experience there culminated in being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor and the Purple Heart after her helicopter was shot down.""""

AND she is going to win!

It's no wonder Congress' approval rating is abysmal. Here you have one Congressman chastising one incoming: remember your place. Remember that you haven't earned a thing, you don't deserve a place of "honor" and I gave you everything you have.

Do any of these ladder-climbers and back-biters realize they work for US? This is infuriating. As a teacher, I too am paid by the taxpayers. The difference is: I see my "constituents" every blessed day, face to face. They can see what I do for their children--and this is how it should be.

These cretins are far, far from their own paycheck-signers and so this is what they care about. Their own egos, committee positions, and making sure the New Girls on the Block knows her place.

Despicable.

PS I am no fan of Ocasio-Cortez, believe me. But if she ends up winning the general in her district, she has earned her place just like Clyburn and should NOT have to answer to him. What is this, anyway? Sheesh.

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn sent a warning shot Wednesday toward a likely incoming freshman who beat one of Clyburn’s fellow members of House leadership in a primary, suggesting she may have a long wait before she has a chance at leadership.

Clyburn, who is the number three Democrat in the House of Representatives, directed the comments at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York candidate who beat Rep. Joe Crowley last month in an upset.

“I would ask her to remember how long I had to wait to get here,” Clyburn said on BuzzFeed News’ AM to DM on Wednesday morning when asked if Ocasio-Cortez would have to wait for her turn at seniority.

“Let’s not forget the history of all of this,” said Clyburn. “And I think that all of the folks who have that mentality seem not to give much respect to those of us who sat in jails, as I did, so that they would have the kind of activities or the kinds of rights that they have today.”

“So do I get any credit for being on the cutting edge of all of that? Or should the credit go to my children and grandchildren who are the beneficiaries of it? I think that we have to balance this out.”

Old fucking white men in Congress are running scared this November.
Good.
I am TIRED of old white asshole men running this country.

That's what stands out about this Ocasio-Cortez butthurt. Before she showed up all we heard was "drain the swamp" and "down with the establishment". Along comes a candidate to do just that and all we hear is butthurt and defense of the old entrenched swamp guy.

I'm all like, pass the Dramamine.

we have not finished building even the foundations of socialist economy and the hostile powers of moribund capitalism can still deprive us of that
