Newly elected New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described Democratic socialist, called for a furlough of congressional salaries in the event of another government shutdown on Saturday.
*snip*
Its completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision, she wrote on Twitter. Have some integrity.

Communism is imaginary and undefined. The way Marx described it (if you could call it that), it is supposed to be a “stateless” version of socialism where the proletariat has magically discovered the nonexistence of the bourgeoisie and the state just somehow “withers away”.
The only other description of communism Marx offered is it being “an association in which the free development of each is the condition of the free development of all” (whatever that means; looks like word salad to me), while Engels said something equally nebulous, to wit “The government of persons is replaced by the administration of things and the direction of the processes of production”. All while being devoid of nation, family, religion and/or definable morality.
That’s twice I agree with Loopy. The first was her opposition to the moronic giveaway to Bezos by Red Whilhelm deBlasio and Mario’s brat.
Hah! Occasional-Cortex finally used her cortex! If she’d start using it more than just occasionally, she’d quit being a socialist and a demonicRAT.

I don’t see any conspiracy here. Ocasio-Cortez got lucky because her Democrat primary opponent got lazy. And now the media gather around her like small children gather around a shiny new toy.
> Republicans and conservatives really need to stop with the memes and jokes and start destroying this woman with facts. <
That I agree with. Her views are silly. But some people listen to her. And that’s dangerous.
I thought Nancy had a little private chat with Alexandra and told her all about the pork and the gravy.
Um.
There may be more to her, than I had originally thought.
Interesting.
I always fall in love with the crazy ones!!:)
The Tea Party and Ocvupy had a lot in common. Job of the Deep State was to emphasize their differences to keep them from realizing it.
Funny. That's exactly how the Soviet Union ended.
Of course the Congressgirl form N.Y. isn’t getting a Fed paycheck yet, let’s see how she feels after the first one clears the bank ...
The predictable result was chaos, and what came after that.
She couldnt say that President Trump should forego his salary because he already does. Nancy and Chuckie can afford to forfeit their Congresscritter pay.
May she shove that acorn wayyy up Pelozi's arse!
Nope, shes lready an inner party member, they do not leave.
I think her cluelessness is an act, she is not dumb
However I think she is going to be really disappointment to find out that the democrat party is not a change agent but the status quo
That is the dirty secret about the dems the millenials haven’t figured out yet, once they do, it will be a mutiny
Our soon-to-be ex-governor Rauner tried to do that in IL to force the crooked legislature to do its job and pass a budget. Didn’t take ‘em long to find a judge to say he couldn’t do that. Great idea, tho.
This time the eyes have it.
Next she’ll be saying Congress shouldn’t have a special health care program for them alone.
Blind squirrel finds a nut.
