Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Alexandra-Beto 2024? – It could happen, because this is just how ridiculous your Democrat Party has become.
Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez spent her Friday evening doing a livestream Q&A with her fans on her Instragram account while she whipped up a box of Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese for supper – which, not coincidentally, is also the favorite dinner for my 5 and 8 year-old granddaughters. Hashtag, irony. I swear I don’t make this stuff up.
Anyways, one of her fan girl callers was all, like, ‘so, when ya gonna run for, like, president and stuff?’ to which Cortez licked a little of that fake cheese powder off her finger and said something like, ‘I know, right?’. The raging nitwit from Queens then went onto compare herself to Shirley Chisholm, who Ms. Cortez described as “the first black woman to ever run for president as a nominee of any major political party,” which, of course, is something Ms. Chisholm did not in fact do, though she did make very brief attempt to seek her party’s nomination for the presidency in 1972.
But, as always not letting the facts of history get in the way of a good story, Cortez stirred the boiling macaroni and continued:
“She was a congresswoman out of Brooklyn. She was also the first black woman in Congress. And people asked her when she ran for president in the 1970s…60s,” she continued while forgetting the dates and moving from counter to counter.
The socialist went on to say that Chisholm told people that she ran for president because “someone had to be the first,” saying that she knew she was “blazing a trail for.. um.. for.. black candidates.. for.. women.”
At age 29, it is no doubt a tragedy in the minds of many Democrat voters that Ms. Cortez will just be a little too young to seek the Democrat nomination in 2020, given that the Constitution itself sets a minimum age of 35 for anyone to serve as president. But, hey, 2024 is just sitting out there awaiting a new young mental midget to become the Democrat standard bearer, and really, is there anyone out there who represents the current mindless state of that Party than Ms. Cortez?
And hey, Beto O’Rourke will probably have $3 billion or so in the bank from all of his New York and Hollywood benefactors by then, so he’d make a perfect running mate. Plus, he probably likes mac ‘n cheese, too. Problem solved for our next woman trailblazer!
But first she needs an apartment. – Of course, Ms. Cortez must first find some place to live in Washington, DC before she can really turn her eye towards a run for the presidency, and this is presenting a bit of a challenge for a person with the apparent mental acuity of the average myna bird.
Late last week, she told the New York Times the following:
Her transition period will be “very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary,” she said in an interview with The New York Times. “I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.”
Mind you, this is a person who has somehow been able to afford to wear dresses worth multi-thousands of dollars and a parade of Christian Louboutin shoes throughout her congressional campaign. Given that it is illegal to pay for such niceties with campaign funds, a curious person – which of course excludes the entirety of our fake national news media when it comes to Democrats – might wonder where the money for all that came from.
Of course, the truth of this is really not that hard. Both political parties offer financial assistance to help incoming rookie members of congress find an initial home in the nation’s capitol, where rents are indeed quite high.
Also, as even the New York Times somehow managed to report accurately in 2015, scores of members of congress – including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan – actually choose to live in their congressional offices rather than foot the bill for a second home in D.C. or the surrounding suburbs. These folks work out and shower at the various congressional gyms, and all of the house and senate office buildings contain cafeterias and sundry shops where they can purchase toiletries and other necessities of life.
Many other members of congress find roommates with whom to share costs of apartment or townhome rent and utilities. No doubt there will be dozens who would be happy to bunk in with someone who possesses Ms. Cortez’s obvious elementary school-level culinary skills.
For most new members of congress, this really isn’t that hard to figure out. For Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, though, spelling her own name most likely presents a terrible challenge. Life is tough for now, but hey, she’ll be president in 6 years and everything will be peaches and cream from then on.
*sigh*
The Democrat voters in Queens have blessed us with a rare gift, folks. Enjoy her while you can. I know I plan to.
Oh hey, and Hillary’s running again! – Democrat politicos Mark Penn and Andrew Stein have a great piece in the Wall Street Journal today titled “Hillary Will Run Again.” No, it’s not a belated Halloween fright piece – it’s real, serious stuff, and they happen to be right: The Pantsuit Princess is going to make yet another run for the presidency in 2020.
And of course, this new run will see the Fainting Felon “re-brand” herself for about 235th time, this time as a far-left firebrand! You know, kind of like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez only without the Mac ‘n Cheese! Aren’t you all thrilled?
As you can see from the photo below, she’s raring and ready to go, and has a closet full of her favorite hospital gowns to wear on the campaign trail:
Penn and Stein believe she will easily win the party’s nomination, and they are right. Because, Democrats.
That is all.

AOC could live in a group home and ride in the van to work. They’d even pack her a lunch.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is probably the perfect representative for her district. Once she learns how to be properly evil, she will be the perfect Democrat.
AirBnB would work for her.
I bet a willing Democrat would be found who would take her for nothing, or at least on the cuff.
Mmmmmm......dontcha know Beto's morphing into another Kennedy? She better learn how to make Boston Clam Chowdah.
I suggest college style dormitories be constructed on Capitol Hill for all members of Congress. Identical single rooms along halls and a shared shower facility on each floor. One shared meeting/lounge room on each floor. Rooms randomly assigned by drawing, no halls segregated by party or racial identity. Each room contains a bed, a desk, 3 or four chairs. All members of Congress is required to live in the Congressional dormitories while Congress is in session. No exceptions.
The result would be shorter sessions. Shorter sessions mean less legislation and less damage to the republic. By forcing them to live together they might begin to talk and collaborate. Worst case the prima donnas would have equal status in the dorm with the rest. Image urban multimillionaires having to rub shoulders with the middle class representatives from rural districts.
Seriously; do we really care what a mentally disadvantaged leftist says and does?
Stupid people say stupid things. Why is this news?
Fortunately there are a number of homeless shelters in Washington DC. All Alexandria Ocasio Cortez needs to do is use this website to search for a shelter. She might actually learn something about life by staying in a shelter for three months. https://www.shelterlistings.org/city/washington-dc.html
The idea is good in theory and would allow us to pay these reps what they should be paid (less than $100k) but the rich ones would still get a place in town leaving the poor ones alone in the dorms which may not be a bad thing.
I do think they should be nicer accommodations and maybe more like frat houses with a kitchen and common areas for the reps to mix.
Evita! Evita!
“Seriously; do we really care what a mentally disadvantaged leftist says and does?”
Yes, we should take note of this idiot. I recall another mentally disadvantaged leftist no one paid attention to. Ever here of obama?
I have a sickening gut feeling this chick is on the fast tract to be a President someday. She has so much in common with obama. For one, she will definitely need a teleprompter to keep from looking as stupid as she really is, just like obama.
Another commonality with obama, is she’ll be a first. obama was the first Black, America just had to have him. This little whacko will be the first Hispanic female. America will just have to have her.
When she becomes of age, watch out! And when she does become of age, most of the low IQ millennials will have figured out how to vote.
If she did this, she would ensure reelection for the rest of her life.
It is obvious that any halfway intelligent observer would respond to her plaint that she should just pay for her apartment. I believe that is her economic philosophy.
I get your point but perhaps you missed mine. People are posting multiple articles per day here on FR about this twit. I could see keeping tabs on her once a week or better yet; once a month.
I’m just venting my exasperation of seeing her pollute the news feed here so much. People will do what they do regardless.
By posting these articles so often we are giving her a platform she simply doesn’t deserve. What happens in the future is anyone’s guess and that’s all it is; a guess.
I think I’ll just gloss over threads with her name in the title just like I do with the Catholic Caucus threads. There is nothing about this dimwit that interests me personally.
I like your idea except its location. Place the “dorm” in Southeast DC in the middle of the hood. Not in Georgetown or some expensive suburb. Provide free bus transport between the dorm and congress. There is plenty of inexpensive real estate down in that corner of DC. I am sure the Dems would welcome this opportunity to live among their peeps.
She should contact her local Commisar for her assigned housing, just like in the good, old USSR.
Cortez drinks from the same bottle as Hank Johnson
Given the caliber of most politicians:
“Dolta House”. ..
Thanks, I get your point and agree with it. I also agree with your Catholic comment.
Likely the “dorm” could easily be transformed into a prison . ..if the need arose.
