Cortez spokesman says Dems' 'Climate Crisis' panel sounds like 'screen door on a submarine'
Washington Times ^ | 12/29/18 | Douglas Ernst

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s plan for a new “Climate Cris” panel didn’t go over well with all of her political allies, particularly staffers for newly elected Ne w York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The California Democrat, who is poised regain her House Speaker role in the near year, championed a new “Select Committee on the Climate Crisis” on Friday, but her younger and more progressive counterparts were not impressed.

“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sounds about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” said Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Rep.-elect Ocasio-Cortez, The Hill reported Friday. “As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to humankind.”

And she's just as surely no rocket scientist.

She is not a rocket scientist. I doubt she has any decent grounding in science or math.

So, why do you say she is not intelligent?

She says a lot of things I find incredible, but they do not indicate stupidity. They indicate she knows a great deal that is false.

It is not the same thing as being stupid.

Many highly intelligent people believe you can increase taxation to increase prosperity, for example.

The people that took over Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia, Cuba, and Venezuela, were not stupid. They simply knew a great deal that was false, leading to horrible results.

” solving the greatest threat to humankind.”

Progressives view themselves as wonder heroes. I am not convinced.

President Trump can always rely on the gullibility and stupidity of the hateful mob of imbeciles who always vote for the Democrats.
The beaver-face from Brooklyn makes brings to mind that old saying, "Old Age and Guile always beats Youth and Skill." Schumer and Pelosi (and the rest of the Demagogic Party old hands) see the BFFB as their biggest threat. And she's going to find out. Or they will find out how real MS-13 really is. No other possibilities exist.

This equine-looking horses ass primadonna is going to be a pain in the ass to everyone.

I think there is a good possibility that she may be a good thing for the Right to have in the House. She'll be more of a pain in the ass to people like Pelosi while being a perfect foil for Republicans. The more I hear her speak, the more I think she has a distaste for the Democrat OldGuard, and will take shots at them whenever she can.

Think of it this way: there were a whole LOT of left-wingers who were left disillusioned with the Democrats after what happened to Bernie Sanders. This Ocasio nutbag will be an even worse Bernie, because, instead of an old, crazy looking white guy, she'll be a young semi-attractive latina, and when the Old Guard tries to put her in her place, there will be even more internal warfare on the Left. The bonus is that a lot of moderate left people will be saying "Damn, this bitch is crazy" and may take the red pill somewhere along the way.

I'm looking to seeing ol' occasional cortex in the House. Hell, we should start a grassroots campaign to make her Speaker!

I seriously wonder if Cortez has a handler or handlers. It would not surprise me in the least to find out that her candidacy and political agenda are the carefully crafted result of outside forces on the left.

So wait a minute. You mean that Pelosi really isn’t interested in battling climate change, but instead wants to use it as a vehicle to consolidate Dem/global power, and AOC is ruining it for her?

If she doesn't, she should hire one!

All she has to do, in order to have a lifetime of luxury beyond what most people dream of, is find out how Nancy wants her to vote, make sure she gets some goodies for her district along the way, and enjoy life.

She can live a life of Maxine Waters luxury....

Of course, she shouldn't take her politics too seriously.

Pretty much.

The Democrat machine is all based on lies and controlling the information flow.

A "true believer" can really mess things up, when they start believing their own propaganda. All the hypocrisies and inconsistencies can be pointed out....

I can’t wait until occasional cortex goes on a full vape shop trigger rant on the House floor.

Wait until she’s inaugurated before deciding how she’ll work out.

No need to wonder at all. Of course she has handlers. They do not care how stupid she might look as long as she votes the way they tell her to vote.

Just how exactly does a completely inexperienced and unknown person who was a bartender six months ago get elected to a national office? And displacing an incumbent from her own party too. Follow her backers, if you can identify them.

O-C is the front woman for a hard-left Hispanic faction within the Democrat party which is intending to displace the older factions of "White" men and women who still hold the reigns of power. They have little use for the Black factions of the Party.

This should get very interesting as it plays out. Better than "Game of Thrones".

One way is for her opponent to completely take the vote for granted. O-C would never have been elected if her primary opponent had put effort into the primary.

Instead, they got complacent, and got primaried.

That doesn't mean O-C is exceptionally smart or organized. It means she saw an opportunity and got lucky.

It also means she has some smarts and some organization. It takes some to primary a long term member.

It is like an amateur taking out a professional boxer with a sucker punch. It can be done if the pro is complacent, and doesn't see it coming.

Doesn't have to go that way. All she has to do is play ball.

Well, at least the screen doors will keep the fish out of the boat. ;-)
