Yes, I heard the same thing - that Brandon Straka may run against AOC in the next election. All of his Walkaway friends and all conservatives should get behind his candidacy. He has said there are over 350,000 members of the Walkaway movement that he started.

Have you ever seen his interview with Roseanne Barr? It’s long, but very good.

The Incredible Dr. Pol. He knows all.

BTW - I am not a Cattle Rancher, nor do I play one on TV but the fact that Cows have four Stomachs is the key.

I feel your pain...I live in Illinois and NOT Chicago. I hate being condemned because of Chicago. Whenever I refer to NY it is NYC. Apologies.

…. Cows have four Stomachs ….

So once again not a single day has gone by in which I did not learn something new from Free Republic.

Although I have only one stomach I still would like a hot, juicy, mouth watering steak right now.

Memo to the Beef Board: I’ll take cash in small untraceable bills if it’s ok with you guys.

Her base isn’t qualified for $160k/year ($4B/25k) jobs at Amazon HQ, whatever those jobs may happen to be. It will be interesting to see how Amazon can create that many jobs at that price point anywhere.

Without a pic they won’t convict

“AOC” means nothing to the illiterate non-English speaking socialist proles who elected/support her

She’s flaming out too quickly. We need to carry her some. She’s a godsend. Worse, she’s already running foul of campaign finance laws and trying to put her boyfriend on her staff payroll.

But she’s planning a dance-off over medicare-for-all next week. Winner take all.

You are of course correct. Anybody who heard any of the city council meetings on this would have a hard time pinning the blame on AOC.

Trump represents a movement. When he is gone the movement will go on.

Same for AOC. She is a symptom of something, not its cause.

Those who would have been employed should just follow AOC’s example and become members of congress. Only greedy selfish people want to exchange a hard days work for a paycheck. /s
