Never A Dull Moment From This Girl

The gift that keeps on giving.

Ocasio-Cortez blasts capitalism as an ‘irredeemable’ system

You know, if no pseudocon ever started a topic about AOC, I would never have heard of her!

AOCDS.

So you are generally unaware of political happenings?

 

[DJT for Life]

Her Momma moved to the same county I live here in Florida. Lake County. She lives up in
Eustis. Lake County is Willis McCall Country. No Derm has been elected to any position in
the last 4 election cycles.

I would suggest that Momma, just enjoy the massive reduction in taxes an keep her grease ball
mouth shut and she'll be okay. (I don't believe if I were her, I would be telling folks who my
daughter was).

Racist motherfukker. If you were saying "k!ke bastards" instead of "grease ball" you'd be banned.

There's nothing racist about the truth

 

[tycho1572]

Just too funny how this 28 year-old makes right-wingers' heads explode lolol!

It’s hard not to laugh at the level of ignorance coming from this bartender/barmaid you embrace.

According to the SJWs, the truth is racist.

Just too funny how this 28 year-old makes right-wingers' heads explode lolol!

Just too funny how laughing at this 28-year-old makes left-loons' heads explode. "LOLOL"

Of course, what's really funny is how she's "this 28-year-old" now, but last year, she was the person leftists thought was so smart and wonderful we HAD to have her making decisions for us.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

If Socialist policies are so fantastic, why do those espousing them so often lie about them?

Socialist policies such as how we pay for police, fire, and infrastructure?

Not everything government spends money on is socialism. Government is there to do things we can't do ourselves because there is no way to get everybody together to do them. In other words government provides things most if not all benefits from. Our military is there and we pay for it because it benefits us all. Same thing with infrastructure. Same thing with police and fire. We all benefit from these things directly or indirectly.

Socialsim is more about government doing things that we can do ourselves by taking from some and giving to others thus making everybody equal in some perverted way. Healthcare is a good example. So are most of our welfare programs now over 80 of them. Free college for all is another creation Democrats came up with.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Why is no one surprised that you defend her?

She's paying her staff a living wage. You guys get above 0c yet?

You're not a kidding. She paid her boyfriend a million bucks. What a generous little bimbo.

Which boyfriend is that?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit with ethics complaint

"The congresswoman’s office has said that Mr. Roberts is not a staff member and receives the same benefits as spouses, including a House email address."

I didn't see anything about "a million bucks."

AOC’s chief of staff ran $1M slush fund by diverting campaign cash to his own companies

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand CUE crickets.

If Socialist policies are so fantastic, why do those espousing them so often lie about them?

Socialist policies such as how we pay for police, fire, and infrastructure?

And highways. And the internet and the electrical grid and GPS. And telephones and before that the telegraph, and the railroads.... and the military... the national weather service.... national parks.... libraries.... the FAA so we don't have planes flying into each other...

Yeah, we need to just go live in caves and forage for nuts and berries.

Wrong, you dumb fuck, the government doesn't pay for the internet or the electrical grid. It also didn't pay for the railroads. Those are totally private. Now, if I was a jackass like you, I would hound you for the next 2 years about how you got that totally wrong.

The government set that up, because only the government CAN set that up.

Sucks to be history-ignorant.

Both claims are false. Government played a small part. Private firms were well on their way to creating something equivalent. Before the internet, we had something in my company called token ring. It has some flaws, but it would easily have evolved into the internet.

It sucks to be just plain ignorant.

It must. If it didn't you'd be able to see how it takes government to string up endless webs of wires, not to mention building the roads to access them, to make it possible to lay thousands of miles of track for trains, etc etc. What your company woulda/shoulda/coulda done is irrelevant here; it didn't.

Know who got the GPS system started? Reagan. Not personally, mind you, but using the government.

I said nothing about who "pays for" internet or electricity grid. But now that you mention it, I live under a socialist electricity grid anyway. It's a co-op. We get profit-sharing.

Hey you know what else the government had a hand in setting up?
--- Trolley tracks. In Wisconsin.

"Coop" means it's private. The government doesn't earn profits, moron.

Whoops! You posted another bonehead claim!

The problem with you is that you post so many I can't remember them all!

I didn't say they're the same thing, Stoopid. You just reminded me of it. No, the gummint doesn't earn profits --- shareholders do. It's a collective. You know, like socialism (a/k/a "BOOGA BOOGA") works.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Are you aware that this is at least the eighth AOC-butthurt thread you've started just this year?

Mind you, that's not near the top. That wanker Weatherman from Walla Walla has over thirty of them so at least you're not that far gone.

But I did notice something else in perusing your threads. Almost without exception, save a very occasional obituary or the one about the Oscars or Emmys or whatever that shit is, all your threads are a continuous diarrhea of butthurt about Cortéz, Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, "Democrats", "Liberals", "the left", "socialists", "commies", the school system ("run by Democrats!") etc etc etc, chock full of Association Fallacies, misdefinitions and general 100% Grade A Bullshit. 130 threads in this year alone, which isn't even close to 130 days old, and all whining about the above laundry list.

Which brings me to my apology. I've been unfair here and it's time to confess.

Earlier today I remarked that y'all parrot-bots are providing Cortéz (et al) with all this publicity for free with all this endless diatribe. Clearly the phrase "for free" was unfounded. Nobody would go to this length of incessant whine all on the same negativity about the same faction, for nothing. Clearly y'all are hired guns. That was silly of me but I hadn't realized how deep y'all are into it. Most revealing.

So do you get paid in rubles or what?

The "gift that keeps on giving", indeed.

So anyone that thinks Cortez is an idiot is an agent of Russia? That's what you're going with, Pogo?

I'm not saying Russia is paying. I'm asking. Could be the RNC. Wait, is that a different entity? Not sure but I doubt it. RNC wouldn't want to shovel all this free publicity her way.

You don't have "pay" anyone to make the point that Ocasio Cortez is an idiot, Pogo...she does that for free just about anytime she opens her mouth. You liberals elected another dope. It wasn't the RNC. It wasn't Russia. It was YOU! Thinking that you aren't going to be mocked for electing a dope is wishful thinking!

Leftists love to use reverse psychology to try and get people to do things. So their attempt here is to try and make us stop by saying we're obsessed with her. And of course, our reaction is supposed to be to stop talking about her so we don't look like obsession freaks.

It's like throwing race around all the time. Even though it never works, they still keep trying.

Perish the thought. This AOC rent-free head thing has been most informative. And more so about psychology than politics.

When somebody takes on an obsession like this it makes me curious as to why they would do that. Since the opposite of affection is indifference, and the Obsesserati clearly are not indifferent, it indicates a strong sense of FEAR.

But hey, go ahead and express it. It makes for a nice barometer. Obviously this AOC person is seriously effective.

We do fear Kotex; fear that she might leave one day. This is the most fun we've had with a Democrat since Biden. When it comes to her, the only fear is from the left when we talk about her. It drives you totally insane, and you can't find any way to make us stop.

It's not as if she's some firecracker that is saying stupid things almost non-stop. It's the idea the Democrats are rolling out the red carpet for this total dunce. She is now the face of the Democrat party whether you like it or not.

I don't really care. Parties are for joiners. I simply note the deranged obsession. And how it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and keeps coming from corners that are in no way related to her district. That's some serious derangement. Willy from Walla Walla has started thirty-two AOC threads on this site this year alone, and he's three thousand miles away from her. Would he be doing that if he thought she was "inconsequential"? Doooooooooooooon't think so.

I look at y'all kind of like a test tube. A lab culture if you will.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Except 78% of American Workers live paycheck to paycheck.

And they drive newer cars, they have smart phones, likely several video game packages, cable or satellite television, one or more children.......

Sure, since the profits are a direct reflection on their work.

Yes, that's called profit sharing and if that's the way you feel, you need to get a job that offers that benefit, although very few do anymore. But there is another way to share in your companies wealth, and that is to buy their stock. Some might even offer it to you at a discount. But don't expect them to pay you more than your work is worth if they are doing well. It's no different than them paying you less during a recession or when things are not doing well.

 

[bripat9643]

Socialist policies such as how we pay for police, fire, and infrastructure?

And highways. And the internet and the electrical grid and GPS. And telephones and before that the telegraph, and the railroads.... and the military... the national weather service.... national parks.... libraries.... the FAA so we don't have planes flying into each other...

Yeah, we need to just go live in caves and forage for nuts and berries.

I didn't say they're the same thing, Stoopid. You just reminded me of it. No, the gummint doesn't earn profits --- shareholders do. It's a collective. You know, like socialism (a/k/a "BOOGA BOOGA") works.

The fiber optic is underground, moron, and government didn't put it there. Companies like Sprint and Time Warner did. Government also didn't build the railroads. They were totally built by the railroads themselves, private companies. GPS is one of the few things you listed that government actually created.

The bottom line is that a coop is a private entity, like a corporation. It's not the government.

Now, in this thread, you've said about half a dozen things that are totally wrong and stupid. Do you imagine I will be hounding you about these idiocies for the next two years? No. That's something only a pathetic loser like you does.

So are most of our welfare programs now over 80 of them. Free college for all is another creation Democrats came up with.

Now you're introducing relativism and the "no true socialism" fallacy.

Your initial paragraph has it right --- government does stuff that's too big for us, like building roads, power grid infrastructure, post office, the military, the FAA to coordinate air traffic, etc etc etc. Whelp --- that's what socialism is. You just want to cherrypick which kinds of it you want and which you don't.

You are not here for that reason. You are here because it bugs you so much and you'd like to see us stop.

The reason there are so many threads on her is because she says something so stupid nearly every time she opens her mouth. The Democrats can't shut her up.

It's kind of like Howard Stern. People didn't tune into him because of obsession, people tuned into him to see what outrageous thing he was going to say next.

The government didn't build the power grid, moron. It also isn't necessary for building any of that other stuff. Turds like you only think it's essential because you have never experienced anything else. There certainly isn't any need for the government to deliver the mail or build roads. Private companies built that before the government horned in. Some argue that government isn't needed to provide us with defense from foreign invaders, and I'm inclined to give it a try. What's the worse that can happen, we get taken over by a oppressive government like the one we have now?

Again, perish the thought. Absolutely do not stop. Not on my account.

I'm here because at a certain point with the continuous whining and whining and whining (last time I looked the OP was actually whining about the size of her glasses) --- that eventually one has to look underneath and figure out what in the wide world of fuck is going on. That's when I started counting AOC threads to put a number on it.

[
The reason there are so many threads on her is because she says something so stupid nearly every time she opens her mouth. The Democrats can't shut her up. .

Thanks for reminding me, that's the other thing ---- the incessant whining is of no more substance than "waah, she's stoopid". Never any deeper than that. Well, except for the size of the glasses, that was cute too. All of which points to a deep emotional investment, rather than a rational one.

And again --- from all over the country everywhere except her own district. Now THAT is obsession. I can't even conceive of sitting on here trawling the internets for what some Congresscritter in Idaho is doing or saying today. What a colossal waste of time.

I find that sort of obsessive mob mentality kind of fascinating. Just to ponder how it works.

[
It's kind of like Howard Stern. People didn't tune into him because of obsession, people tuned into him to see what outrageous thing he was going to say next.

Howard Stern is an asshole. People who tune in to him, if they do at all, tune in to watch a freak show. The same reason people watch NASCAR. But nobody spends all their time looking up minutiae about Howard Stern just to whine about him on message boards. Difference.

I guarantee you that you are wrong about both things. No government grants paid for all the tens of thousands of miles of fiber optic that Sprint and Time Warner strung across the country. Time Warner owns the fiber optic providing service to my house.

The problem with you is that you post so many I can't remember them all!

I didn't say they're the same thing, Stoopid. You just reminded me of it. No, the gummint doesn't earn profits --- shareholders do. It's a collective. You know, like socialism (a/k/a "BOOGA BOOGA") works.

The fiber optic is underground, moron, and government didn't put it there. Companies like Sprint and Time Warner did. Government also didn't build the railroads. They were totally built by the railroads themselves, private companies. GPS is one of the few things you listed that government actually created.

The bottom line is that a coop is a private entity, like a corporation. It's not the government.

Now, in this thread, you've said about half a dozen things that are totally wrong and stupid. Do you imagine I will be hounding you about these idiocies for the next two years? No. That's something only a pathetic loser like you does.

I'm posting via fiberoptic right now and I guarantee it's (a) not underground and (b) the local ISP strung it out of a government grant. You're way out of your league here Fingers. Not that you really have a league.

I guarantee you that you are wrong about both things. No government grants paid for all the tens of thousands of miles of fiber optic that Sprint and Time Warner strung across the country. Time Warner owns the fiber optic providing service to my house.

Whelp, I guarantee you they did. They told me directly. And it's got jack-all to do with "Time Warner" or "Sprint".

This is the sticks. Running cables and poles is expensive.
