I don't whether to laugh or cry about this article. The 29-year old congresswoman from NY who is telling us we need to completely overhaul the US Economy is stumped by a garbage disposal..... Actually I think it's funny but indicative of how ridiculous she really is...

This article is satire, right? If not, it could fool me.

AO-C grew up and went to high school in the rich neighborhood of Yorktown Heights, NY, where home prices are not only among the most expensive in New York, but where homes also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

There is no way this woman doesn't know what a garbage disposal is.

She's acting like she grew up in some run-down tenement in the Bronx where they probably don't have garbage disposals. But she didn't grow up there.

Shows her bonafides for being a democRAT socialist by being a big liar. Being able to lie with a straight face is one of the tests democRATic politicians have to exhibit before they will accept you into the party.

If this story is not a satire, then it is complete BS.

For the record, 41 was reacting to the price of a gallon of milk rather being surprised by the scanner. Hell. I’m in the super almost daily and have no idea of that cost. Nor should a President.

Warren drank...a beer on a Facebook stream. Both thought they were being relatable to the average deplorable.

They always look uncomfortable and unnatural when they perform these stunts. You can tell its not something they normally do. JohnEffinKerry comes to mind in his a-huntin garb...

The Bush41 supermarket scanner incident was a classic example of Big Media dishonesty.

Generation Tide Pod had Helicopter Parents. I blame the weak kneed “befriend your kid” movement along with the Publik Skool System.

I heard she was at the FAX machine yesterday too. She asked how they get that big piece of paper to go through the wire.

Until recently many communities in NYS did not allow garbage disposal units. So in that regard she could be telling truth. However no building super would fail to show a new resident, especially a member of Congress,the ins and outs of the apartment.

In the 40 years I lived in NYC, I never saw a garbage disposal in an apt. or a private house. She’s still a moron, of course.

One way intelligence is measured is by the quantity general knowledge. AOC does not know things that a 29 year old college graduate should know. She is pathetically stupid.

Up untill 1997 they were illegal in NY. Apts with older plumbing still ban them. I’ve never been in a NY home that had one.

She is actually clever and dumb as a fox.

In this instance, you are right.
She’s playing to her district.
Disposals were illegal in the city until recently. Apartment house owners are naturally averse to go through the trouble and expense of installing them in existing buildings and since it is NOT an item of high demand, new construction sees no need for installation.

“She should follow Abraham Lincoln’s admonishment, “It is far better to remain silent and be thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.””

Or Samuel Clemens, or not.

Or how about Maurice Switzer in “Mrs. Goose, Her Book”?
