Ocasio-Cortez SMEARS the Intelligence of Republicans, Compares GOP to Dwight From ‘The Office’
News Thud ^ | 13-05-19 | J.C McCallum

Dwight Schrute is a beloved character from one of America’s all-time favorite shows, “The Office.” He was hilarious. Freshman Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is also hilarious in her own way, but certainly not beloved. Check out this tweet from AOC, who berates Republicans and mocks their intelligence… This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it. Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal.

She never said the world would end in 12 years.

Really? Look at the post 8 video. Maybe you’re just exercising your dry humor?

I was curious too, so I Google’d it:

“Social Intelligence (SI) is the ability to successfully build relationships and navigate social environments. Our society puts a huge emphasis on book smarts and IQ, but our relationships effect a much bigger part of our lives.”

I wonder if she’s using the term correctly?

Mention of the tv show "The Office" means photos of actress Jenna Fischer to take mind off AOC

Remember, the first rule of Dunning Kruger Club is that you don’t realize that you’re a member of Dunning Kruger Club.

I’d like to send her a plaque or something congratulating her on her accession to the leadership of the club.

I’m pretty sure I remember a condition, at some point, that we had 12 years to reduce carbon emissions by half OR the world would end. That is at least clever enough to give her an out if we start towards the green new deal. She could move the goal posts for decades, with that claim, so long as she is incrementally getting what she wants. Regardless, I still hear a condition attached to the 12 year figure. My concern is that there were a lot of people applauding the claim.

Course taking Trump’s joke about Putin getting Hillary’s emails serious is fine.

...And O’Rourke shifted it to 10 years. Also, clearly not joking.

You also need to do one with Sanders instead of Biden. Just a suggestion. :)

I heard on some Fox show, hinting Biden may choose K. Harris as a VP. What a pair that would be....lol

An all-time favorite tv show? I never saw it, not even once. What am I missing?

I’m a binge watcher. I will watch a lot of different stuff just to be entertained. I tried watching the Office. One or 2 episodes. Couldn’t. Just didn’t do a thing for me.
