New York community leaders reportedly stormed out of a closed meeting with US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday after some felt 'revolted' when she criticized Donald Trump and the US. AOC held the close gathering in the Bronx borough with Community Board 11 members but proved too controversial for two military veterans at least. One of the issues that sparked a sickening feeling in some was when a Middle Eastern member of the Community Board 11 asked for her thoughts on the conflict in Yemen. Ocasio-Cortez is said to have slammed the US role of providing weapons to the Saudi Arabian government in the civil war. But it reportedly upset those who wanted her to also blame other countries involved.

I have to know; did someone ask her to find Yemen on a map?
She knows it’s close to urine....
It has “Men” in the name so it must have something to do with White Privilege.
and just think that community elected her!
I really don’t understand how the voters in NY were convinced to remove her from the bar and send her to Washington. If I were Boston University and seeing the economic policy statements she made (e.g., “The national debt’s not a problem. Just print more money.”), I’d ask for my Economic major degree back. Either she didn’t learn a thing or BU has the worst econ major on the planet.
Remember...BU is not BC. Many people make that error. BU is just large and in Boston.
Yep, I know the difference. I ended my teaching career at Purdue University. I taught both grad and undergrad courses in econ for almost 40 years and even BU should be ashamed of itself.
I think they voted for her ‘cause she’s flashy and vapid. NYC likes flashy and vapid. Knowledge and substance aren’t important.
The pretty face got her elected. People are finally realizing they elected an empty head.
Looks like the lustre of AOC is wearing off fast in her home district. Seems that depriving the locals of Amazon $$ is career ending. One and done.
They made a mistake, they asked her a question, for which she had to “think” on her feet.
She can’t do that.
Puppets don’t think ...
Remember, she won a “casting call” for this seat. She has handlers, ex-Bernie Bros, that do her thinking, speech scripting, sound bites for her.
I’m surprised she doesn’t think yemen is one of the new genders.
I would surmise that first and foremost, she is glib. Some Democrat aparatchick heard her holding forth in the bar. She was taken on and trained and perhaps paid and put forward as a candidate.
To judge by her defense of the side in the Saudi/Iran conflict that is not the side of the United States and Israel, I would say she is mouthing the script of her New World Order puppeteers.
Aren’t Yemen and Oman two of the 987 known (so far) genders? At some point this gender benderism is going to get confusing.
BOL........good one.
When I was at MIT, a lot of our engineering professors taught the same exact class across the river at BU. Sometimes I’d go if I had to miss a class. We would do group study projects sometimes. Some of the smartest kids were BU.
Wonder what happened here? I suspect BU has to go lower down for the Affirmative Action students and morons like AOC get in.
BACKSTORY: “Justice Democrats” and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms should be all about Bernie’s policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.
NOTE
<><> “Brand New Congress” mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> “Justice Democrats” is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.
Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.......an FEC complaint was filed alleging AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple private companies—LLCs—to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......
BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism. Besides socialism (gag)....
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it.....”Director of Organizing Technology.”
AND THIS—Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor “Stripe”.........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.
Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernie’s Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.
So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti’s tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillary’s account.
Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.
Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie’s tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?
Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC’s campaign:
<><> the “Brand New Congress PAC,” and,
<><> the “Justice Democrats PAC.”
After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the “Brand New Campaign LLC,” and,
<><> the “ Brand New Congress LLC.”
Saikat Chakrabarti’s private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: it’s a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
===============================
ANALYSIS -— Chakrabarti’s companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC’s donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication “there’s something amiss.” They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC’s to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-—SNIP-—SOURCED FROM FR.
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?
Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?
