AOC went from wiping up bar spills and scrounging for tips to a seat Congress wearing $2000 outfits. How'd she do that?

Lots and lots of money was raised from political action committees controlled by Ocasio-Cortez and her campaign manager----
Saikat Chakrabarti----now her congressional chief of staff.

Saikat Chakrabarti then established an LLC----a for-profit company that does not require reporting its finances.
Apparently with all the scrutiny Chakrabarti has since closed his company doors.

Chakrabarti may have closed down the LLC....but are the company's bank accounts still open?

B/c the LLC bank accounts were used to convert campaign donations to spending money for those involved including AOC. (details below)

“What’s wild to see is how when the community tried to sit down at the table and negotiate … any small demand was immediately met with a ‘no’,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “So it’s not about being blanket ‘pro’ or ‘anti’ Amazon, it’s the fact that … we can’t just be allowed to govern by bullying.”

I'm glad this girl talks so much. I, however, don't understand most of what she says. Anyone know what '.... we can't just be allowed to govern by bullying' means?

“when I lean into my identity and who I am and all of that,...”

She doesn’t know that she doesn’t know...that she’s not all of that.

Subject: Daylight savings time. A Socialist prospective.

“If we change our times with the sole intent of increasing the amount of daylight we receive, that’s an extra hour of sun shine that will warm the planet. That’s one extra hour per day of extra heat warming our already unstable planet. We need to repeal Daylight Savings Time as a primary measure to decrease the rate of climate change. Less hours of sun shine equal less heat hitting Earth’s surface. We’re running out of time!”

Nothing wrong with being a bartender, that is quite true. However there’s entirely plenty wrong with a bartender who thinks she is the de facto leader of half the country.

There was a woman who ran against an incumbent in Kentucky a few election cycles ago and her opponent dug up that she had once worked as a Hooters Girl. The implied taunt was that only a brainless ditz could have worked at Hooters.

I said being a Hooters Girl is excellent training for being a member of Congress. You smile a lot at people you’d just as soon strangle, promise them things you know they’ll never get from you, act like you sincerely care about their trivial complaints, pay more attention to how you appear rather than how you perform. Come to think of it, it’s perfect training for politics.

Was there any difference between a Hooters Girl and John Edwards or Beto O’Rourke?

The freshman congresswoman said her work as a bartender gave her first-hand experience with health care issues, the New York Daily News reported. She said that unlike Trump, she bought into health care public exchanges.

Well, hot damn! I just plugged in a lamp and paid for the electricity. I have first-hand experience with power generation issues!

This is absurd...if anything her experience with public exchanges should give her a better appreciation of how poorly Obamacare was implemented.

Not to mention the 'young bartender' comment Trump made was in reference to her pushing the Green New Deal.

Why does AOC like lightning?
She thinks someone is taking her picture.

Why did it take AOC an hour to eat breakfast?
Because the orange juice carton instructions said Concentrate ! !

What do you do if AOC throws a grenade at you?
Pull the pin and throw it back at her .

How did AOC fall on the floor?
She tripped over the cordless phone.

Why did AOC climb the glass wall ?
To see what was on the other side!

Why did AOC go to the airport turn around and go home?
Because she saw the sign that said “Airport Left”.

Why can’t AOC dial 911?
She can’t find the 11 on the phone!

If you have to reply to a Trump jab, it’s already too late. He owns the initiative.

There is a problem when you talk like a Valley Girl at closing time, like we are all going to be dead in like 12 years!

This woman has a very serious mental problem. While many think she is very confident, her actions and reactions to things said about her indicate she has a serious self image problem. Add to that her lack of knowledge about just about everything and the woman becomes just another loud mouth.

Who said there was? Trump didn’t. My goodness, she’s so thin-skinned and defensive.

She just needs to read a book or two.

Trump is widely derided as being stupid, when he has built buildings all over the world, and comes into office knowing more than any of them how the world works in a practical manner, banking, practical politics, hands-on building and contracting, making payrolls, all of it, and has had to learn all of that over decades.

Most politicians have ever only been lawyers, and have a myopic view of how things work, and in fact know very little about how it works. So, compared to lawyers, she isn’t much different in her lack of knowledge. But also like lawyers, her arrogance blinds her to her own lack of knowledge. She figures that with enough power she could remake the world in her own image.

“She said that unlike Trump, she bought into health care public exchanges.”

Hmmm...I’m pretty sure I read a quote from her that said something along the lines of, “Up until a month ago, I didn’t have any insurance...”.
