Hey, that Nixon ditz has plenty of money - why doesn’t she ask HER for a loan?

I swear, these people are so stupid and so arrogant (Dunning-Krueger Club, anyone?) that they probably want to make millions want to simply shoot them (and, NO, I am neither planning to do so, nor advocating that anyone else do so, either - none of these walking pieces of dog crap are worth it).

Sleep on a cot in the office, like some other congressmen do.

Actually, I recall Paul Ryan did that when he first was elected.

There’s plenty of cheap places to rent on the south side of the Anacostia within walking distance of the House side of the Capitol.

Housing is too much money these days contrasted with pay. She is right.

But housing is NOT a human right.

As I recall, the Republican House Members camped in their offices. Not bad digs.

and that the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in D.C. is $2,170 a month, making it the seventh-highest rent in the nation.

I can fix that real quick. Over 40% of DC's population is on welfare. Eliminate welfare in DC, make the welfare population move to Maryland, and thus free up housing for working people.

In Rep Scarborough’s office there was so little room for the staff to sleep that his intern had to lay her head on a hard table.

She could do like Paul Ryan did when he was first elected and came to DC. He slept on a cot in a closet at the house of reps.

Doesn’t sound like she did much advance planning. That said, she shouldn’t have a problem getting a short term loan with an annual salary of close to 200K.

Why doesn’t she just pay for her apartment with funds from the same place she’s going to pay for free healthcare for all and free student loans......

Socialists typically have bad credit, so she will just have to stick it out in her Affordable Housing until that government dole arrives

She can rent a room with someone else, possibly a member of Congress (for which a Republican congressman was highly criticized, unjustly).

Her “partner” can pay for it. Do ex-”baristas” have “barpimps”?

She can work the streets of DC for a while in order to get used to the place. There are homeless shelters all around, except in the lilly white wealthy areas or black upper class areas.

Hell, she can sleep at the Obama Motel and Bordello. Why not? It already has Michelle and Valerie Jarrett in it. What’s one more anti-American, Marxist, greedy, whiny Democrat bitch? Besides, Barack, the “One we’ve been waiting for”, might like to have some younger lady in the house to talk about politics.

Gee, he could be another Bill Clinton. Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
