Ocasio-Cortez, Khanna to oppose Pelosi-backed rules package
The Hill ^ | January 2, 2019 | Niv Elis

Posted on 01/02/2019 9:45:59 AM PST by rdl6989

Top progressive lawmakers Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said this week they will vote against bylaws to govern the 116th Congress that are backed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the likely next Speaker.

Their objection is to the inclusion of what's known as a pay-as-you-go rule, which requires that legislation be deficit neutral, meaning any costs would need to be offset with new revenue or cuts elsewhere.

Time to pop some popcorn, the show is about to begin. I don't think Pelosi and Cortex are going to play well together.

I recommend a wrestling event between the two, closed cage match complete with costumes. Winner take all.

Maybe will start the “head cutting off” with ACO. That poor girl just isn’t very bright. She is the kind the Russians would put up front to storm enemy lines in a counter attack.

In the words of the great John Wayne: Life is tough. It’s even tougher if you are stupid.

When has the gov’t ever paid attention to that clause? If they had, we’d never have a budget deficit. Now, they just ignore the limit and pass a new limit. I still like Warren Buffet’s suggestion: Any member of Congress who votes to approve a budget that will increase the deficit by more than 3% cannot run for reelection.

"A vote AGAINST the Democratic Rules package is a vote to let Mick Mulvaney make across the board cuts, unilaterally reversing Democratic initiatives and funding increases,"

Hmmmmmm.... I might have to support Ocasio Cortez on this one...

AO-C's going to get slapped down so hard her teeth are going to fall out.

And when that happens there's going to be a hundred of her supporters in the congressional hallways with bullhorns knocking down Pelosi's office door and live-streaming the whole thing on Instagram.

These geriatric millionaire limousine liberals from California have no idea of the monster they helped create. AOC is going to drag the party so far left they're going to look like the Khmer Rouge.

A First Termer acting as though she owns the place?
The Dems have a full bench of politicians with oversized egos and oversized mouths to match. Alex is going to step on toes, ignore protocol and make a pocketful of enemies in her own party. I say, bring it on. I’m ready to make some popcorn and get a front row seat.

You can have dowager aunt Pelosi that will hook you up with donors or you can have the Pelosi that will have you redistricted back to bartending in the Bronx in 2020 when New York loses seats.

So, push your seat back, sit back and enjoy your favorite beverage, snack or popcorn as the Deep State is melting down each day.

Take time to enjoy our Schadenfreude as the Deep State trolls and rats panic. Enjoy your flight to reality with your pilot President Trump and his co pilot Vice President Pence. Savor each hour and each day as the Deep State implodes.

Don’t listen to the Never Trump Trolls saying, “ Nothing will happen!” That is what they are paid to say and post. They are panicking as that income will be going away!
