And Ali G referred to Neil Armstrong as "Louis Armstrong."

If I remember the interview, Ali G asked Aldrin when man was going to land on the sun. Aldrin said the sun is too hot for anyone to land on it, so Ali G asked why we couldn't do it during the winter. LMAO.

If AOC wants to attack billionaire-supported organizations that criticize her, why doesn’t she go after the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc.?

The sign sure looks accurate to me.

And Jobs Creator Network has founders that have created well over 1 million jobs - those evil things that AOC and Sanders want to tax out of existence.

And it just so happens that JCN is HQ in Addition TX. So there!

And AOC is not done. She still has almost 2 years to shower us with yet more lunacy. Man, this is going to be one very interesting year.

This is from the UK Mail. U.S. media criticism of AOC will be interesting to watch. Will her wackiness ever wear out her divinity with the US media?

“I want to live in her apartment building with all its amenities and privileges.”

No you don’t. You would be suicidal within one hour. They’re mental patients.

That's a fair point, but the area of Long Island City where Amazon would be located has been a faded industrial area for decades. The NYC government rezoned it for 5 million square feet of office space in 2001, but only about 1.5 million was ever built.

Keep in mind that the "community" you describe is comprised almost entirely of tenants, not property owners ... and many of them occupy public housing or rent-controlled apartments. It's comical to see how much political leverage NYC has given to people who should have almost none at all.

Billionaires paying to put up anti-progressive propaganda in Times Square is like the obscenely rich version of the scene where Michael Scott points to the Bubba Gump and saying ''This is it, this is the heart of civilization, right here

Clearly, she doesn't know much about the group that posted it.

AOC has barely been in elected office and she is already acting like a typical Washington politician by attacking an organization because she can’t defend her position.

When you're as dumb as a bag of hammers, should we be surprised how true this is?

I watched the Office and even I don’t get that reference.

They need a better writing team.

None of you will like this, but I am telling you, this girl has a bit of Trump in her.

She fights back whenever criticized. Does not sit back and take it punching-bag style, a la Mitt Romney. I am telling you this will win her many fans.

One of the funniest aspects of that interview is Buzz Aldrin playing the straight guy ... not “playing,” actually, because that’s what you expect of the type of person who becomes an astronaut.

My old boss would say that a roach factory in LIC would be an improvement.
Now it the new Brooklyn.

AOC is trying to get out ahead of the actual leaders of the Revolution, she had better watch her back.

I really don't think this gal can think beyond her self-absorbed brain and the nose on her face.

Her taking credit for keeping Amazon out of NY had nothing to do with jobs and wages.

It was about her inner-social justice warrior notching her belt by getting rid of a billionaire. She is more concerned about her socialist philosophy than she is about the reality of green money paying, good jobs for the peons.

I don't think any of those prospective 25,000 job holders would have given a damn who their paycheck came from as long as they could feed their families.

This whole thing is about her, not the workers.

Exactly where is her district? I heard originally it was the Bronx, then I heard it also encompassed a small portion of Queens. Now you’re saying it goes into Brooklyn, too?

Stalin was also thin skinned and had a number of nice dachas.

Where are these tenants going to go? The next scheme from which contractors and pols benefit will be to build subsidized housing in other areas where they’d be housed, these ruining those communities. A much better solution is to go to places such as Youngstown OH (just one example) where there wouldn’t be as much dislocation....the city is already all but abandoned.
