Hard for her to follow her own advice to just "pay for it!".

 

 

[woodenickel]

No worries, she will be worth millions in no time.

[G Larry]

Her first bill will be for Congressional Housing Subsidies.....only for Socialists.....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Who will play her in the bio-pic of her rise to glory?

[ifinnegan]

Why is this on Town Hall?

—

Anyway, she’ll be there fifty years and end up a billionaire.

[cnsmom]

Many in that age group refuse to consider neighborhoods on the outter fringe affordable areas or shared housing.They want the chic expensive areas with all the bells and whistles.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

>>>Yes.
Her office.

Other congressmen sleep in their offices. She can too.<<<

I just think she would feel so much more at home in a tent somewhere.

[ifinnegan]

“She’s just pushing for free housing for all lawmakers. She’s one of the elite now. Isn’t she entitled? /sarc”

Stop the sarcasm, you are correct b

This is nonsense.

There is an ulterior motive. There always is.

[kjam22]

She wants the government or her constituents to give her money to pay her rent.

[ifinnegan]

That’s actually perfect.

[Beagle8U]

Occasional Kotex is about to find the world beyond her Daddy’s couch.

[Ikeon]

She should take her own advice and “ juat pay for it”. Sheese ,has any other congressman ever told the news they cant afford an apartment ? her constituents must be oh so proud. . She is going to be a laugh a minute the next 4 years.

[ifinnegan]

“It’s either your boyfriend or girlfriend - “partner” in the context she’s using it is elitist drivel.”

Adult people having “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” has always sounded stupid too.

[sphinx]

I invested 30 seconds in researching short term rentals, which is apparently more time than she has for doing her homework. The cheapest Airbnb I saw on Capitol Hill was $29 a night for a small unit four blocks from the Capitol building. Monthly rentals for very nice places are $2,300 a month and up. She should talk to some Members, many of whom lived in their offices or bunked with roommates when they landed in DC. She seems to have grandiose ideas about the lifestyle of a typical congress critter.

[Beagle8U]

Her “partner” better watch out for those choppers!

[ifinnegan]

Her wealthy acolytes are going to give her a bunch of money.

[miserare]

Boo Hoo! Let her get a loan from Chuck Schumer.

[old curmudgeon]

As she said

Just pay for it

[MrEdd]

Just pay for it. Easy peasy.

re: “She always looks like she’s on the verge of a stroke. Those neck veins...”
