She hasn’t had her butt pinched so much since high school.

I can only imagine her getting up to speak in front of the entire House. Whatever comes out of her mouth ought to be a doozy. She’s in way over her head.

I wonder if she’s going to have a tragic hang glider accident.

She would be on the lookout for toasters in bathtubs. Dem elite play dirty.

In a weird way, she's attacking the Deep State from the opposite end of the political spectrum from Trump. It's a beautiful thing.

She is a fair representative of our current crop of young people, steeped in Climate Change Hysteria and Progressive “thought” due to the influences of modern Public “Education”.

“We need to act on climate change NOW w/ a *fossil fuel $-free* Select Committee *with a mandate* to draft a Green New Deal,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted earlier Thursday. “It’s our best chance to beat the clock.”

So let's all us leftist elitists jet to Switzerland, in our private, taxpayer-funded jets, for a 'Green New Deal' conference, then drive around in our 10 mpg giant bullet-proof land cruisers while attending our soirees. After all I've hit the jackpot now! Only 29 and I will now be leading the high life permanently, all provided for by the government teat.

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. — C.S. Lewis

Well, I’m not gonna be happy until I see AOC go toe-to-toe with HRH Pelosi. If AOC thinks the troops will rally behind her, she’s dreaming. Pelosi brings in tons of money for the party and they’re not going to kick her to the curb in favor of an addle-brained teeny bopper who can’t even afford an apartment.

Pelosi v. Cortez. Popcorn time.

Ocasio-Cortez is a walking, talking advertisement for #walkaway.

You go girl.

“In a weird way, she’s attacking the Deep State from the opposite end of the political spectrum from Trump.”

That’s a similar observation I made a while back. She seems to be attacking everything similar to where the hippies and the cultural revolution crowd of the 1960’s attacked everything as being the “establishment”. Another similarity is this toothy twit is getting all the media attention, just like the 1960’s revolutionaries did.

Ha! She’s bought and paid for... but they didn’t get the ‘owners manual’ or operating instructions. I hope at least that they can find the ‘off’ switch!

Too bad-She’s THEIR problem

“We’ve got people who are in charge of these committees who are very progressive and I just don’t see the need for the select committee.”

She ain’t just “progressive” dude, she’s openly socialist which means her true beliefs are farther left than that.

They’ll rig her up with a teleprompter... like Obozo had. I don’t think he took two steps without one.

winning the House was quite possibly going to be that very bitter trophy for the Dems

*****************

No, the Dems and their allies in the media will exploit every minute of the next two years. Endless attacks on Trump, political obstruction, budget fights, threats to industry, destructive economic legislation, etc. It going to be worse than anyone can imagine.

This is going to be the circus the Dems have wanted and worked for. There is no silver lining to two years of acrimony, politically driven investigations, and gridlock. This is a disaster for the country.
