Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the gift that keeps on giving. I still have trot out my personal conspiracy theory that she’s a GOP plant designed to make Democrats look like the uber-far left Modern Socialists (meaning they aren’t just wanting all the economic policies of Socialism, but the massive, giant, controlling powers over our personal lives, which is actually 100% against the Socialist political model) they really are. To make them look nuts. To look bad. Because no federally elected Rep could be this bad, right? Sure, there are nuts like Maxine Waters, but, that’s just derangement. This is just stupidity
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defended the Green New Deal after the recent rollout of the New York Democrat’s policy proposal got a lot of attention over “farting cows.â€
In an appearance Thursday night on the premiere of Showtime’s late-night “Desus & Mero”show, the comedy pair hosts of the program asked the freshman congresswoman why she thought the initial reaction focused on “cow farts.”
“In the deal, what we talk about, and it’s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know? Period. It’s wild,†Ocasio-Cortez said. “And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it’s to say, ‘Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real.â€
It’s a shame they don’t have the audio of this, because it certainly sounds as stupid as it looks, if we go be some of the available video whining about twitter trolls being “heavy” and sounding like a 9th grader.
Also, she’s admitting that the farting cows thing was meant to be in the GND resolution. It was yanked out after being laughed at, of course.
“But we have to take a look at everything,” Ocasio-Cortez continued, “and what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives, you know?”
And therein lies the problem with the Cult of Climastrology and Modern Socialism: they want the Government involved in everything. I’d say “right now it’s farting cows. Next week it could be your use of natural gas in your house and the energy efficiency of your home”, but, they’re already coming after that.
Also
Also on Thursday’s show, the Democratic socialist also defended her call for a 70 percent marginal tax rate on incomes over $10 million, which she said represented a “pretty good year.â€
“It really comes down to the question of, ‘Isn’t $10 million enough?’ Like, when does it stop?†she asked. “At what point is it amoral that we’re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless people in New York City?â€
Imagine how much all the taxes paid by Amazon would have helped with decreasing homelessness in NYC. Imagine what all those jobs would have meant. Good job killing that off, AOC.
I think you’re selling Maxine short. Besides, the Democrat-Communists have a bumper crop of idiots, morons and radical leftists this year. I think we’re seeing the old “if you build it they will come” syndrome. The Democrat Party was tripping over itself to go as left as Stalin all the while their operatives (here and other places) were insisting conservatives were becoming radical rightists. Lefties have that traditional blind spot where they don’t see it’s they who are radicalizing until their hero’s line them up and shoot them. Then the light goes on but….too late.
EAT THE RICH!
Fortunately for America the GOP has only sane, reasonable grown-ups such as DJ Trump, Steve King, Mike Pence, Devin Nunes, Chris Collins, Duncan Hunter Jr, Jim Jordan, Mitch McConnell, The “Freedom” Caucus, Rudy Giuliani, Joe Arpaio, Lyndsey, Sarah Palin……
Yep. And the dems have this…

Once in a while, a glimmer of truth shines through Pomposa’s idiotic discourse.
Most of the people Elwood listed he hates because they aren’t leftists not because of anything they’ve actually done. Except Donald Trump, he’s a murdering, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, tax cheat even though his entire career says different. In the last two years Trump created 6 million jobs for America, in the last two months Occasional-Cotex destroyed 25,000+ for New York. Ahhh. The left marches bravely toward Glorious Next Tuesday!
Now the D-C party wants to: Abolish Billionaires! Well now this is curious, and an inconvenient fact for the “abolish billionaires†movement that thrives currently in the Democratic-Communist Party. (Keep in mind that besides Robert Reich (another leftist gift to America) saying all billionaires cheated, AOC’s chief of staff Tweets under the handle “Every billionaire is a policy failure.â€) It turns out that of the top 20 nations on the UN’s Human Development Index, nine have more billionaires per capita than the United States, including such favorite “socialist†(yes, we all know they’re not socialist except the American left) examples Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands. I’ll look forward to Bernie and AOC explaining why those nordic countries allow this “policy failure†to persist. (P.S. I have a hunch that a lot of those foreign fortunes are legacy inheritances, while most of our billionaires are self-made, like Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc. But many made their big bucks in phony AGW energy scams and other assorted political grifts.)
But now that Big Bernie is back in the race we can see some real communist policy planks in the D-C platform. Never let a person who has done nothing tell you how to do anything! Go Bernie! And 80 year old Marxist on the Dem ticket but Elwood will insist they aren’t communists. And Juicy Smallett is a straight white guy and not a lying sack of leftist propaganda.
