DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is embarrassing.

I think it's funny that they doctor the photos of her. Always the eyes.

the sexual frustration they have is extremely funny. Just the other day I saw Fox News talking about her clothing for 5 minutes. Just look at the people posting memes in the thread. For the most part, they all hate politics and this forum, but they'll find any reason to talk about AOC.

I like to talk about AOC because she is a ridiculous idiot. Its fun to see the wacky Libs try to stick up for her.

The guy who uses the wrong racial slurs on people is here to talk about idiots!

The “can somebody please tell me whether or not Iran and North Korea has nuclear weapons? I swear I heard they did, I don’t know how to use Google because I have a job” guy calling someone a “ridiculous idiot” is priceless.

If she was a board member you’d be owned.

Not by her, she thinks the state should own everything.

I can't call you and CHS idiots anymore because you report me to the Refs and I get banned.

She's right about defense spending and the Border wall.. It's not a liberal or conservative thing.... It's simple facts.

We are spending money on Defense to help the military industrial machine, but we forget about helping those that have already paid a price... Like our Veterans.

As for the Wall, raise your hand if you think we need a wall to stop immigrants from Flying into the USA, or coming by boat or coming in thru Canada... How about a wall on the northern border.... Maybe stop those crazy Canadians from crossing over and bringing Cheap Medicines....

As for landing on the sun,,, Pretty sure she's smarter than that. But then, she is in Congress so you never really know.

The Trumps are idiots for poking the bear here. while I think the Democrats will without a doubt seek remedy for Trumps actions.. as they should, I doubt they will be obsessed with it. At least I hope not.

We have other things to fix... Roads and Bridges, Healthcare, Veterans, Immigration and we need to regain our place in the world... Something we've lost under Trump.

So many triggersauruses in this post.

AOC got y’all acting like cavemen in here lolololololololol. Like a bunch of dudes who got dumped at prom night.

She's an idiot but you support Individual 1?



If you could just man up and admit they're both idiots I could understand and agree with you. But to point the finger in only one direction here makes me think you feel you have the beginning of a comedy routine.

Laughing out loud at the “I can’t juggle both being employed *and* learning how to use the world’s most basic search engine” guy complaining that he can’t craft insults.

It's more like, "I can't follow the rules of the board and it's your fault!"

Naturally conservatives can't deal with personal responsibility.

She will flame out by 2024...which is when she can first declare

Whatever your feelings on AOC are-

Look at who the current president is.

By that precedent, *anyone* can win the White House.

So your saying I still have a chance

So you are promoting a race to the bottom in which the opposition party puts up someone worse then the last?

We need to revert back in time when there was qualifications out side of being born to meet in order to vote.

I agree with all of your post.....but this quote.....come on man you cannot be serious? Not obsessed with Trump? Bro, the Dems have been....what's a word for more than obsessed.....possessed (?) by Trump.

It's Monday morning so maybe I missed some context.....the Dems are way more than obsessed with Trump though.

Looks like AOC has Jewish ancestry. So are all these Trumpian AOC haters anti semitic? lmao

LMAO

Liberal Progressive Democratic Socialist Latina Jewish Young Woman... the absolute worst nightmare for white nationalist!

Haven't Democrats been in charge of those places for decades?

Ocasio-Cortez backs green policies that would hurt the poor and cripple our economy

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/liz-peek...ple-our-economy

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has admirable passion, but needs some schooling in energy economics. The cost of renewable energy is dropping fast, but is still more expensive in many applications than traditional fossil fuels like coal or oil. That’s one reason that adoption of wind and solar power has been slow, and that many countries, including the United States, underwrite renewables with subsidies and tax credits. The International Energy Agency predicts in its 2018 report that “the share of renewables in meeting global energy demand is expected to grow by one-fifth in the next five years to reach 12.4% in 2023.”

The share of renewables remains low because wind and sun power are effective in producing electricity but not, for instance, in powering automobiles or airplanes. Renewables will generate nearly 30 percent of global electricity in 2023, a big jump from 24 percent in 2017, but will still account for only 3.8 percent of transportation fuel, compared to 3.4 percent in 2018.

More important, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez should know that lower-income and minority communities in the U.S. are disproportionately disadvantaged by higher energy costs. A 2016 study by the National Research Defense Council found that low income households “spend, on average, 7.2 percent of their income on utility bills…That is more than triple the 2.3 percent spent by higher-income households for electricity, heating and cooling.” Were we to ditch coal, natural gas and oil in favor of higher-cost renewables, electricity prices would soar, especially harming just those folks whom the young progressive says she wants to help.

Evidence of the staggering costs imposed by green policies is provided by other IEA data, which compares electricity costs in different countries. In the United States, the cost of electricity for households earlier this year was $129 per megawatt. In Germany, a country that leapt into renewables with enthusiasm, and imposed hefty taxes to squelch demand for fossil fuels, the cost is $343.59. Does Ms. Ocasio-Cortez really want to impose a near-tripling of electricity costs on Americans?

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez might want to visit France, a sympathetic left-leaning country, which is currently convulsed by people who are really, really angry over recently-enacted green policies of the kind that she might embrace. President Emmanuel Macron raised taxes on diesel fuel and gasoline, hoping to make driving more expensive and thereby discourage fossil fuel use, setting off the worst rioting that country has seen in a generation.

It is not the high-income elites who are taking to the streets, breaking store windows and burning cars – it is middle class and blue collar people who think Macron has no sympathy for their travails, for their ever-higher cost of living and, in particular, for the cost of their commute.

Note that 70 percent of the French people support the protests, while at the same time 79 percent of the country, according to a poll conducted last year, fret about climate change.

The lesson for Macron, for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and other policy makers is that people may be concerned about global warming and increasing emissions, but they are considerably more worried about making ends meet.

Polling on the subject bears this out. While a global Pew study found that 54 percent of people in 40 countries thought that climate change was a “very serious problem,” a survey conducted by the UN at about the same time, which elicited almost 7 million responses, showed people ranking climate change the least of their concerns. Global warming came in dead last behind better education, better health care, better job opportunities and thirteen other issues.

Even in the U.S., where 6 of 10 respondents to the Pew poll say their community is already being impacted by climate change, the issue ranks 17th in a list of policy priorities.

Why this disconnect? One reason is that the extreme alarmism from environmentalists has numbed us to the perils of rising emissions. If you are endlessly lectured about how eating meat or driving your Chevy will cause entire populations to be swept away by rising sea levels, it becomes overwhelming. People tune out.

It is also true that some of the wilder predictions of disaster have failed to materialize, leading to profound skepticism. Al Gore’s doomed polar bears, for instance, seem to actually be thriving. According to one source, their numbers are increasing except in one location, where in fact they are challenged by too much sea ice, as opposed to too little.

Because of abundant natural gas displacing coal, the United States is the only major country in which emissions have been dropping over the past decade. We are not the problem. It is China, whose carbon output is already nearly twice that of the U.S. A recent report from the Global Carbon Project blames a predicted rise in worldwide emissions this year on “a rise in coal consumption in China, which accounts for more than 46% of the projected increase in industrial CO2 emissions in 2018.”

The U.S. is blessed with abundant energy, an important competitive advantage. The Trump White House pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord because the demands of that agreement would have destroyed that advantage and hobbled our growth, while demanding virtually no commitments from China.

Americans are sensible people. We want clean air and water, and we want to curtail the carbon emissions that appear a danger to our world. But, we do not want to sacrifice our economic wellbeing on the altar of climate dogma. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should be careful before promoting policies that would build a cleaner planet on the backs of American workers.

Her eyes are a window into America's future.

So is that an opinion you wrote? Just asking right ...

Another non opinion. Awesome - congrats.

Duh..most of us know it’s all about defacing women and minorities now. Keeping them in the places the tumpians demand them to be. Get control over their bodies and reproduction and limit their healthcare. Build walls to keep out the poor and wretched. We know.

“Murcia” Home of the afraid...land of the gun.

Sorry bud veiling calling me a racist and a sexist with the word "defacing". You're going on ignore.

Byeeeeee

Can someone please explain how because one is a women and/or minority what they say is not allowed to be criticized simply because of those facts? Yet when its a conservative women running for office (Palin) they can say the most vile and disgusting things about her and her family, and its all game.

Its weird.

I don't see how people can advocate exchanging one dunce who doesn't know what they're doing for another dunce who doesn't know what they're doing.

Well if you listen to both, I think they're pretty equal in their own right. Neither fit to hold the office being discussed. So yeah, if one is fair game so is the other.

I wasn't standing up for Palin btw. I thought the lights were on but no one was home when it came to her. But lets be clear, they mocked her family because she had a disabled grandson, they mocked her teenage daughter for having a baby (huh, yet a lot on here scream about slut shaming right?), they called her stupid etc.

But when you mock AOC, and we have seen already in this thread, you are then a "racist, sexist pig". I am still trying to find out it the double standard is because she is a minority, or because the ones mocking her are right winged.

Actually I was agreeing with you.

I know. I was elaborating on my original thoughts.

More Trump like Rhetoric. If this is where politics is headed....the "ZING GOTCHA" we are truly doomed for war.

It's sort of disappointing to see Ro aligned with this nincompoop.
