AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues’ opponents

By Marisa Schultz Published 3 hours ago

FTA
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats’ House campaign organization — a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.

Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she’s actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues.

The DCCC declined to comment further on the matter of Ocasio-Cortez and her dues.

Another Democrat was less diplomatic: “Deadbeat Cortez should pay her bills,” complained the Democratic source. “She’s always whining about people paying their fair share and here she is leaving her friends with the bill.”

Their gripe is that Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t given any money to the DCCC, the party arm with the sole job of electing Democrats to the House. Records obtained by Fox News show the New York Democrat has failed to pay any of her $250,000 in “dues” to the DCCC.

Her goose egg of a contribution is no accident. Ocasio-Cortez says she has beef with the DCCC and she’ll withhold her money in protest of how the Democratic Party won’t back insurgent progressive primary candidates, like herself, in the name of protecting incumbents.

“For me personally, I’m not paying D-trip dues,” said Ocasio-Cortez, using slang for the DCCC and citing a “myriad of reasons.”

The Dems running for President realize now that they will miss a lot of Iowa events, because Mitch is going to keep them on a six day/wk trial schedule once it starts.

This impeachment is starting to stink like the three week old dead fish that it is.

We need to find that picture.

Kerry would have us believe that the JCPOA contained rather than enabled Iran. In response to this ludicrous and reckless contention, I must become a whistleblower. I know for a fact that the Obama admin sent letters - plural - directly to Soleimani. https://t.co/yY3NPCZ7Q6— Mike (@Doranimated) January 10, 2020

“What kind of trouble can I get into.......”

I think we would need to consult Pax on that one.

#UPDATE
Hassan Rezaeifar, head of Iran's air crash investigation committee:
"The Ukrainians must hand over the plane's insurance document to us & compensate for all the damages caused!"

LG I post lots I myself don't understand..but as you've probably noticed too..more lurkers are commenting. I WISH MORE WOULD stop being selfish with their IQ's and help explain some of this information for us. I'm an old woman sitting at a desk top in front of a Hallmark movie posting stuff way above my degree...lol But I've always said...never talk down to anyone if possible.

As we well know..for the ONES here who Never go on twitter and miss ALL the many informative comments are REALLY doing yourself a disservice. Quite often I don't post comments. I get caught up in reading them many times.

The photograph is real, but the identification of the woman pictured as being a teenaged Nancy Pelosi is nothing but a bit of political tomfoolery. As noted at the Along for the Ride blog, this picture was one of a series of photographs taken by LIFE magazine photographer Allan Grant in June 1951 at a promotional event for an automobile/appliance complex in Los Angeles:

In 1951 the Muller Bros., an Oldsmobile-Firestone Tire-Car Wash-Cafe-Body Shop-Home Appliance-Auto Supply Dealer located at Sunset and Ivar in L.A., California, named their complex “The Landing.” With good reason, they had everything you could want on one lot. It was giant compared to most new and used car dealers of the time, [it] even had a control tower. They came up with the idea to hold a beauty contest to celebrate the 3,000,000th car to be pulled through its car wash. Life Magazine was there to photo-document the PR event for the rest of us to look back on. Obviously, all the girls, the winner of the beauty contest, and the car wash winning dude, look pretty happy.

.@SpeakerPelosi announces she will transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate next week. Probably Wednesday at the earliest. That could mean a trial the week that @realDonaldTrump is scheduled to be in Davos.

Excellent advice, exit.

Have a dear friend who is going through heck, right now, trying to take care of matters for a family member who did NOT have an updated will, or POAs.

Was suddenly/unexpectedly incapacitated. Huge mess, now.

I think estate experts recommend updating all important docs (wills, POAs, etc.) after any major life changes....marriage, divorce, births, deaths...or, at least every 10 years.
