One and done: AOC

I'll believe it after the actual voters toss her out in the Primaries, but this is encouraging. Now if only Minnesota would have half the sense of these New Yorkers...

    Good point -- although I have the CC, I could certainly use more training and need to make it a habit of carrying. There is a range not far from me and a few of my friends that carry have good suggestions in terms of how to effectively employ CC. I've also seen some adverts for insurance for those that CC and have to defend themselves.

    In that case, my friend, I suggest you get a CC license, train, and carry...…..Just in case. Many members of the "Religion of Peace" are eternally offended and anything but peaceful.

    Like several others including Omar and Tlaib, AOC was sponsored by the Young Turks and yes, she is a puppet on a string. And yes, she is a disaster when not dealing with anything scripted. You can see examples where she goes ad-lib and she doesn't think clearly on her feet at all. One particular example was her questioning of the ICE chief where she accused him of things and he ate her alive with real facts. She had nothing she could do but move on to the next scripted, biased attack.

    The organization that propelled AOC into becoming a Congressperson; the Justice Democrats should be investigated by the DOJ. AOC must be still being manipulated by this group. She sometimes sounds intelligent and other times sounding completely stupid. I believe when she goes off on her own is where she gets into hot water. The Justice Democrats are her puppetmaster.

    I have doubts either AOC or the rest of the squad will be replaced. Many voters are either apathetic or ill-informed, the rest vote identity politics. I watched 2 very interesting documentaries that can be found on Amazon Fire TV, 1. Enemies Within 2. Can't We Talk About This. I suggest you watch them to find out just how many of our elected officials are actually our enemies. Both were illuminating and disheartening. The lights are going out.

    Even if the squad cost the Democrats the chance at this election, I truly believe that there are enough looters out there who will choose to believe her promises. I am sad to say that these two will probably be around well into the future.

    America is gone. Yep. This is nothing but a preview of coming attractions. Americans are voting for their own demise. I had faith in Americans until now. It seems we made mistakes and corrected them. So far, there is massive resistance to correcting this.

    I am ready for it (violence). Something about my being a mountain climber and ultra-runner and having sustained a lot of damage over these years presents itself in my eyes. I just wait to see who blinks first. And it's always the other guy. As a good libertarian, I refraining from the initiation of the use of force -- but as you might guess, I am a little bit itching for the other guy to start something. It will be a mess. I will still be standing.

    I know this is a duplicate post/comment but I really felt it needed to be mentioned.
    Unless swing voters make up the majority of the voters in their districts they have nothing to worry about. The two women mentioned most prominently are in districts so democratic that, to quote Speaker Palosi, "A glass of water would get elected if a democrat". Their districts have very few swing voters. Most are die hard Democrats.
    What percentage of Registered Voters is against them. That is a better number to look at.
    Who ever leaked the data did so with the intent of causing a false few of the people's sentiments.

    I'd be careful if I were you. Getting into a Muslim's face, who happens to be a black Somali, can only lead to violence. It is called "solving 21st century problems with a 7th century mentality.

    Be careful. If you were President Trump, you'd be called a "racist" for your "stay where you are" comment.

    I agree ... this is the same thought that I have regarding AOC -- I see that vapid sock-puppet, completely devoid of self-awareness and think "this is some sort of trial balloon"

    Or maybe ... and this is way out there ... maybe you have a couple guys in the backroom, so-to-speak ... and they have a wager, like the two old white guys in the 1980's movie "Trading Places" -- they have a gamble on whether or not the gullible public will buy the absolute nonsense spouted by AOC (or some other equally discardable puppet). So, being a couple old guys with far too much money and too little time, they front these dizzy-dopey-dunce candidates for their own personal amusement.

    I was recently back visiting family in MN and WI a couple months ago. My parents and I were visiting Como Park near St. Paul, MN. I had not been to the park is about 15 years. The number of burkas and their ragga-muffin offspring as a percentage of the general population of visitors was astonishing (to me). I mentioned this to my parents and they just quietly nodded (they are in their mid-70's and have seen the gradual changes in demographics during the entire span of their years).

    Breeding indeed -- you hit the nail on the head there. And what is to keep the rabbits from reproducing when an endless expanse of clover is provided? Mistakes of this magnitude are never made innocently. Creating a Little Moga-sh**-hole in the Twin Cities is by design -- it is created and cultivated for a reason. There will be a flash point or multiple points. Ideally, something good comes from all of this, but my only vision is that it will be a ruinous costly mess.

    When waiting in line, can you tell whether or not the individual in front of you is using an EBT card? When I see this happen, here in Washington State, I lean in a bit and say "You're welcome" -- this often results in a look of both surprise and guilt all at once. I might then offer "I am paying for your groceries, so, you're welcome."

    I learned this bit from Neil Boortz when he shared this on his radio show many years ago. I don't get any flack since my unblinking eye contact tells the EBT parasite that trifling with a producer would not be in their best interest.

    Apparently the people are unaware that they can recall their representatives.

    Correct. Violent Somali Muslim gangs in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. We call that area "Little Mogadishu".

    I won't be too surprised when we see a Paris-level event in Minnesota because of this. I've heard reports that that area of town is a no-go if you are white...

    We have a completely different problem in Minnesota. Here it is in summary: Cause and effect….cause and effect.
    The dumb ass Minnesota voters voted for Bill Clinton in 1992….Clinton won.
    Bill “ Better Put Some Ice On It” Clinton executed a military excursion in Africa and got his ass kicked in Somalia in 1993. Actually, it wasn’t his ass that went down in 2 Blackhawk helicopters, but several of our Rangers and Delta Force guys. Bubba was safe in D.C. with Algorythmn…and Lying Hillary.
    Clinton coerced Minnesota (via Lutheran and Catholic organizations) into taking in 35 to 40 thousand Somali “refugees”……Somali MUSLIM refugees……starting in 1993. That number is probably closer to 70,000 today as Muslims breed large families.
    The Minnesota Muslim vote gave us the tax cheat woman abuser, Keith Ellison (Muslim) as AG and the vile Anti-Semite, Ilhan Omar (born in Mogadishu) as a House Representative….and all of the other Muslims in state and local seats.

    We will have a big one in Minnesota…..not “if”….but “when”.

    Hang on because it is about to get a lot worse in Minnesota……

    The Young Turks are trying to challenge the traditional DNC for control of the party. And the DNC is playing right into their hands by running candidates for President who are completely on board with a socialist, open borders agenda.

    My only hope is that the voting American public sees this and rejects it where it matters: the ballot box.

    I think they got exactly the candidate they wanted. Remember, she was being funded by the radical New Turks - not directly by the DNC.

    +1 for "vacuous mouthpiece"

    I agree; I don't buy the poll either. Remember, poll after poll had the Hildabeast destroying Trump in 2018.
