True. That’s what us Dems where saying about the trump sheep in 2016.

Once you figure out Trump isn't actually a republican it may help you. He attacks everyone and anyone who doesn't follow lockstep with everything he wants or says. He's attacked some of the very people he hand picked to work for him. Just count all the Republicans he's hired that he's turned around and fired in only two years. Evidence suggest why people felt he might fire Mueller.

Trump tried to fire Mueller in December: report

I just saw that AOC thinks the Electoral College is gonna' make it to the final four!

Wrong again Bro. Trump didn't try to fire Mueller. Muller even said Trump didn't interfere. Just more Democratic hate.

Umm, Mueller said no such thing. But I bet Fox News and Trump did.

I don't know much about her other than the typical highlight stuff that gets out in the media.

She's very green, no "Green New Deal" pun intended, and I don't agree with many of the positions of hers that I have heard about, but she is a change from the old stagnant self-promoting puppets we've had.

And that change is what has been needed in our government to shake things up. Even if she never accomplishes any of her ideas, just her presence and being elected is having an affect.

Well she does say almost as many stupid things as Trump. But then nobody elected her president.

The more the right piles on AOC, the more I like her. She definitely has foot to mouth disease but she is a microcosm of what we are going to see moving forward. America wants to go green, there is no intelligible reason to not go green. Americans wants universal healthcare, the only ones who don’t are deeply involved in the rhetoric of the people who have gotten wealthy off the healthcare system.


She is Donald Trump of the left. She mouths off on topics that are easily refutable too often creating the “liar, dumb, idiot, and buffoon” monikers…..but the underlying message and direction have the hearts of the American people.

Bro, every single thread you bring up trump. this is about AOC, you are either deflecting, or Trump is literally living that rent free in your head.

Pointing out double standards is an obvious thing to do.

Even BPG did it. You can't point the finger at one idiot while not pointing out another huge idiot.

Some people are fickle when you point out hypocrisy. That's not my problem.

j/c What I find surprising is she is a freshman representative, yet she seems to be the mouth piece of the democratic party after just 2 plus months.

She received about 15,900 votes ,BUT she did beat a 10 term rep, that only got about 11,000 votes.

Don't forget she can make a killer long island.

She's got my vote.

She only seem like that because FOx News has made her out to be that. She is a firebrand for sure, but she's hardly the voice of the left. The left is split into factions as the right was pre-Trump and will be again when he is gone. There are many voices working with and against each other most of the time... you know, Democracy.

what makes you think she's the voice of the left?

i havent seen anything close to something that could reach that conclusion, other than of course fox news and brietbart.

She's the Avenneti of congress. She not a real threat to anyone or the spokesperson of her party. It's just fun watching her get under the skin of the GOP.

Well, I don't watch fox news, and I don't go to brietbart.

Only said that cause she's in headlines daily. (on yahoo, cnn, and just in general)

She's not under my skin.

Bro go watch some AOC Fox News clips and you will see why he thinks that. lmao

And I'll even stand up for Arch and say I don't think he's a breitbart type.

Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule.

If I say I offer to shut her up does that label me as a perv????

That would depend on the method used.

Biting my tongue

Someone told me one time to beware of women when you can se white all the way around heir eyes. They're more crazy than most.

Considering she's young enough to be your granddaughter, yes. Otherwise no. Nothing wrong with a healthy libido at your age I guess. lol

What a stupid thing to think.

It was said in jest.....You wouldn't understand.

You should be afraid of bug eyed women... nothing really funny about that.

BTW, Hillary has eye like that too.

You're ridiculous.

j/c:

Yeah, she's not the face of the democratic party, lol.

Green New Deal backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fizzles out in the Senate as Dems accuse GOP of putting on a 'stunt' vote

• The Senate fails to advance a Green New Deal resolution as Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forces a vote.
• The nonbinding measure widely criticized by Republicans calls for the U.S. to make drastic change to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change.
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused McConnell of putting on a "stunt" vote as he tries to put Democratic senators and 2020 presidential contenders on the record.

A Green New Deal proposal backed by numerous Democrats failed to advance in the Senate on Tuesday as Democrats protested what they called a political show vote orchestrated by majority Republicans.

The nonbinding resolution, which calls on the United States to make an ambitious effort to slash its use of fossil fuels to fight climate change, fell short in a procedural vote. The Senate did not proceed to debating the measure, as 57 senators voted against it and 43 Democrats and independents who caucus with them — nearly all of the Democratic caucus — voted "present." Four senators who vote with Democrats — Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Doug Jones and Alabama and independent Angus King of Maine — voted against the resolution.

By voting "present," Democrats hoped not to go on the record on a bill that had no realistic chance of passing, even if they support the concept of a Green New Deal. The six Democratic senators running for president next year — who co-sponsored the original resolution introduced by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. — did not take a position on the measure Tuesday.

Democrats have pushed for drastic action to combat climate change as the planet warms and severe weather events such as recent Midwestern flooding have devastated U.S. communities. They say the U.S. has only a limited window to combat climate change and address an existential threat.

Republicans have gleefully criticized the Green New Deal, warning about Democratic efforts to take away anything from cars to hamburgers. They accuse Democrats of a drift toward socialism spurred in part by freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a champion of the measure in the House.

Ahead of the vote Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of using political theater to hide his lack of a plan to address a warming planet.

"Republicans want to force this political stunt to distract from the fact that they neither have a plan nor a sense of urgency to deal with the threat of climate change. With this exercise, the Republican majority has made a mockery of the legislative process," the New York Democrat said Tuesday.

McConnell aimed to put Democrats on the record about whether they support the plan. He sees it as something that will fail to resonate with centrist or independent voters, who some senators will need to keep their seats — or win swing states in a presidential election next year.

The Kentucky Republican said Tuesday that he believes in climate change and wants to address it through unspecified "technology and innovation."

"This is nonsense," McConnell said of the Green New Deal. "And if you're going to sign on to nonsense, you ought to have to vote for nonsense."

President Donald Trump, meanwhile, plans to use the proposal against Democrats as he runs for re-election next year. Six Democratic senators — Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — are running to challenge the president next year.

During a Senate Republican policy lunch Tuesday, Trump signaled he wants to use the Green New Deal as a cudgel in 2020, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham.

"He said make sure you don't kill it too much, because I want to run against it," the South Carolina Republican said, according to NBC News.

More games from the useless GOPer Senate. McConnell won't vote to release the Mueller report but will carry out a smear campaign attempt. smh

You guys go ahead and toot your horns. McConnell admits climate change is real yet has no plan. But he's willing to shame Dems for coming up with ideas. And the hilarious demented right is worried libs want to take their cows and hamburgers... CLOWNS.

J/C

So let me get this straight, AOC submits a bill, then gets mad when its voted on and its a fix to vote on it?

then why the hell submit it in the first place? Oh that's right, posturing.

It lost 57-0 and that includes democrats. Get over it, despite it's good intentions it was a stupendously stupid proposal. When you try to pass socialism through the guise of being green.....cmon even government officials aren't that stupid.

At least one of them is.

What are you posting BpG? I would have to adjust our firewall settings to let it through. I have a lot of social networking blocked here at work.
