Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[pipistrelle]

My take is that She's amused by how much damage to the GOP he is doing continually.

Not even sure she's looking at him or past him.

My take was that she was amused by him being so deluded. And also (too) foreseeing how the endless votes would play out, yet he could not.

Looks like a fairly standard "good looking girl amused by guy who thinks he could be in."

Duncan: Educate Yourself
AOC: While I cannot control the fact that the other side has made the assumption that I am uneducated, one of the things that I can say is that I may not be here with the mission to increase profits for corporations..

Happened to catch AOC giving her usual bravura performance at the House Oversight Committee just now.

The Party of Insurrection is quizzing Twitter about how Biden's folks supposedly nixed the story about Hunter's laptop, the point being that Twitter bows to lefty politics.

AOC came back with a speech about the insanity of the hearing, followed by two examples of Twitter literally changing its rules to accommodate threats of violence based on CT.

Damn, she is good.

I'm sure this will make the news somewhere.

Acyn and Aaron Rupar are posting a lot of clips, she's really on fire. But then isn't she always!

AOC: So Twitter changed their own policy after Trump violated it to accommodate his tweets?

So at the same hearing, MTG uses her time to rant about how her Twitter account was banned but child porn is not banned. No questions to the witnesses. Then, when the Gomez (D CA) gives the witnesses a chance to respond, MTG interrupts him to demand that he not talk about her, because it violates the rules of order.

Holy shit this is a hot hearing.

Now Dan Goldman up giving facts, facts, facts and blasting malign Republican actions. Now giving the facts on Barisma, cf Huntergate.

R's are interrupting Goldman.

You asked for it, you effing buffoons.

Comer can't handle his committee; MTG is getting schooled on committee life by the R who sits next to her.

Comer asks Goldman a question about Barisma "Are you saying that you admit that Joe Biden called for the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor?" (Thus walking right off the cliff...)

Goldman: "Yes; JB as VP and all our Euro allies pressured Ukraine to fire a corrupt prosecutor who was refusing to go after corrupt businesses in Ukraine, including, potentially, Barisma."

Comer: "Are you saying that JB knew that the corrupt prosecutor would go after Barisma, his son's company?" (What an idiot! Like he never heard the facts before???)

Goldman: "Yes."

Which is what happens when you face off someone who knows the facts against someone who only knows the lies. Man, Goldman ate Comer alive!

ETA, sorry, this is more than I intended to post on AOC's thread--it's just the follow on from AOC's questioning above.

BREAKING: I served @AOC with an ethics complaint after she lied about me in a committee hearing. AOC wasn’t in her office but then I bumped into her as I was leaving the Capitol!

Watch what happens:

What happens is that as soon as AOC realizes who it is she is standing with, she tells her that she is super transphobic and that she doesn't want to ever share a space with her.

Gotcha! That'll leave AOC quaking in her stylish yet affordable boots!

[raison de arizona]

Somebunny forget to tell her that the Bronx is tfg territory. As if.

the right wing is still spinning out about @AOC’s sick entrance to saturday’s rally, so we put together a little cut to make it easier for them to share.

Bring it on.

If interested, insightful commentary from Josh Marshall on the Jamaal Bowman race, which includes comments on AOC. Gift link:

Westchester County turned out to beat Jamal Bowman.
Overall, Latimer is up by ~17 points with 88% reporting. Something like $25M spent for Latimer, in a House primary.
