Where the hell does she think money comes from? Apparently it’s limitless to her.

Paying AOC to stay home forever and leave the country the hell alone would be great value for money.

Where has she been these past 9 months?

That was already done, back in the spring, and it didn’t work too well then, and it won’t work in the future.

Temporary payments won’t and can’t replace a regular check. Payments to stay home have to be funded from somewhere and by someone.

She should be staying home and shutting her mouth, and the country would be far better off if she just plainly went away. Perhaps Maduro will welcome her permanently to Venezuela?

Maybe we should pay people to stay at home and not go to Congress for votes?

I was gonna say “You can afford all that money to all of us from your bartending paycheck?”/s

Then I remembered. She is leading American from Congress in DC. We are in deep trouble. We are going to pay in taxes as usual.

Energy problems? Fracking?

Just harness the brains of AOC and Mika, convert them into electricity and we can light a dim night light, flickering, for ten minutes.

If Democrats truly believe that lock downs are the best way to defeat the China virus why don’t they prove it? Democratic state governors should shut their states down for two weeks, no exceptions. Show us the way! Instead they want to have it both ways resulting in no progress because it’s like killing roaches...everytime you reduce their numbers in one area they show up somewhere else. Trump may have lost the election because he lacks the power to do a total national lockdown. Governors do have the power but choose not to follow their own convictions. And where is Congress and State legislatures? Shouldn’t the will of the people be heard, especially during this emergency?

She has a degree in International Relations, and a minor in Econ.
That’s only some 100 & 200 level courses.

OK, give me a million dollars a week to stay home. If the check is late the price goes up. And I will leave the house whenever I want, Cortez, because I’ve learned from you leftist Democrats that fraud, lying and cheating are the expected behavior of anyone who is truly down for the cause.

BTW, if you don’t accept my offer and deposit the first payment into my account within 48 hours of this post I will get Covid-19 and spread it far and wide.

One ... million ... $dollars$ ... per week
