British opposition chief and chairman of the UK Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn reached out to a freshman Democrat congresswoman in the hopes of forming a left-wing trans-Atlantic alliance.
Corbyn called Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old self-described Democratic Socialist who won last Novembers election for the 14th congressional district in New York after she defeated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary.
Ocasio-Cortezs surprised win propelled her almost overnight to celebrity status, turning her into one of the most popular figures in the left-wing of the Democratic party.
In a tweet late Sunday night, Corbyn revealed that he had called Ocasio-Cortez that night to propose an alliance with the New York congresswoman, citing their wide-ranging agreement on policies ranging from marginal tax rates to environmental protection and immigration.
Great to speak to @AOC on the phone this evening and hear first hand how shes challenging the status quo, tweeted Corbyn.

So that leaves Jeremy as the blind. Blindness is one of the alleged results of frequent wanking. He’s blind to his own hubris. But while he is not the dictionary word for blind or stupid, he certainly is well endowed with both lacks.
People say things like that without being serious about it.
I remember Whoopi Goldberg was on national television and made a promise that if Trump became president she would leave the country. That was one hell of an incentive for many people and most of the people that I know actually voted for Trump because she was going to leave the country, and she's still here.
