Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We Progressives Are Going to ‘Run Train.’

[Pogo]

Interesting. I'm still waiting on this elusive mystery-question about "qualifications" for Congress --- you know, the ones that apparently exclude bartending. Here we have our first clue, that one must be familiar with some obscure "ghetto slang". Let's get Orrin Hatch out here for questioning and shit. I bet he knows a lot.

sadly, the only qualifications to be over 21 and a citizen. Intelligence has never been required. If it was half of congress would be disqualified (both parties)

Then why do you keep bringing up 'bartending"?

Are you some kind of elitist who wants to be ruled by some meritocracy? Are truck drivers and cooks and factory workers and bartenders somehow "unqualified" because of some, I dunno, perceived social status?

These are supposed to be simply representative voices for their constituents. That means the more they have in common with those constituents, the better. I don't see how having been a bartender precludes that. If you do, make the case already.

the original intent of the congress was that regular people, mostly farmers at that time, would take a year or two off from the farm and serve in the congress and then go back to the farm. It was never intended to be a lifetime career by which one could get obscenely rich. I have no issue with bartenders, truck drivers, or manual laborers being elected, but none of that excuses the idiotic statements and pronouncements that have been made by the pompous twit AOC.

Why don't those like you ever ask how someone like Feinstein became a multi millionaire on a salary of 175K per year?

Corruption is destroying this country, and most of it exists in the congress. We need term limits, age limits, and an amendment that says that all bills passed by congress apply to them individually and collectively.

"Give me forty acres and I'll turn my point around" huh. Nice try.

nice dodge, why do you condone lifetime career politicians who get very rich at our expense?

DOOD.

You're the one trying to tell the world here that having a normal job like a bartender makes one "unqualified". I never took that position, ever.

That's a clown post, bruh.

i have really low numbers and very little practice and am quite bashful as a result.

any local chics want to help me practice, just for fun?

there could be a full body massage with happy ending and g-spot focus work in it for you.

Ah jus hope it 'taint some uber driver from some "akistan place who says he gonna run train getting me to the ho-tel

Ah thank yew mean Goober drahver.

Ain't it funny though, that these same wags freaking out about the phrase "run train" were a few months ago telling us that "monkey this up" was like a normal thing.

monkey this up is not a racial phrase, it refers to the animals called monkeys and how they run around screeching and scratching. Run train is a ghetto phrase meaning gang rape. your analogy sucks, as do you.

I guess it's one degree of Ignant And Shit to get caught in a Double Standard. It's a whole 'nother smoke to get caught in it, and then go ahead and repeat it expecting different results.

What has happened to rational thought......

good question, how about asking CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Ny times, Wash post? Where is the rational unbiased reporting from these "news" outlets? They have become nothing but the propaganda wing of the DNC. Why do you condone that? Are the American people not entitled to all of the facts on every issue? Arent we entitled to an unbiased media that reports facts? It amazes me that someone obviously intelligent like you condones this.

Aaaaand that's yet another nickel for Pogo's Law.

Once again the point was the Double Standard of trying to pick apart the phrase "run train" while bending over backward to find apologies for the phrase "monkey this up". *NOTHING* in that point has jack squat to do with "CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Ny times, Wash post". It's a reference to THIS FORUM and its posters who want to have it this way when it helps, that way when it doesn't.

DEAL with that and quit trying to deflect to other shit. K?

I previously said that I have no issue with common people becoming congress members. I also said that the only qualifications were to be over 21 and an ameican citizen. AOC meets those qualifications, we agree. But that does not excuse her arrogant foolish, anti-American pronouncements and socialist doctrine ideas that have never worked and will never work. We are allowed to criticize congresspersons when they say stupid things, or in the case of the new muslim congresswomen, treasonous things.

the problem with your nickel is that equating the word "monkey" to "negro" is not a valid argument, whereas stating the ghetto meaning of the phrase "run train" is a valid argument. It is quite possible that AOC had no idea what that phrase meant and just thought it sounded cool, she is that dumb.

And that's a dishonest post, bruh. You kept harping on 'bartender' until I called it out, and now you wanna pretend you never did that.

That's a mendacious uttering o my brother.

I don't think I ever said that being a bartender makes one unqualified to run for congress. If I said anything akin to that it was with a specific reference to AOC.

NO, we are talking about common parlance of the English language and the use of specific phrases within the ghetto culture. It wasn't the word "train" it was the ghetto phrase "run train" which we all now know means gang rape in ghetto language. Do you use the word monkey when referring to black people? I don't and neither does the governor of florida.

I don't know the governor of Florida (proper names get capitalized) and I seriously doubt you do either, but he did use a bizarre phraseology to evidently dog-whistle a particular base, and you're STILL bending over backward for it. Even Fox Noise, who ran the interview, immediately apologized for it, so this pretentious bullshit just isn't selling. Matter of fact your own use here of "ghetto" is trying to do the same thing to a different party who is also unknown to either of us.

What's remarkable here is the level of self-delusion that seems to give you the idea that people can't see right through this malarkey.

It was absolutely a reference to AOC --- who else would it be? You kept bringing it up as if it were something significant.
IT ISN'T. Just another puerile attempt to demonize, like "ghetto".

in Burlington Vermont, Crazy Bernie met a woman who had just graduated dental school with 400K in debt. that is insane. under AOC's plan she will give tuition free college.

I remember monkey wrenches and monkeying around, neither had anything to do with black people. De Santis used a common expression, its only you radical lefties that insist or making it something racial. Calling ghetto language ghetto language is merely being accurate, if you don't like the term ghetto use big city inter city language (and its used by blacks, whites, Asians, and Hispanics), its a central city term, not a racial term. It means gang rape.

I seriously doubt that AOC even knew what it meant. The girl is quite stupid and naïve.

Yes, I said that AOC was not qualified to sit in congress, not solely because she was a bartender, but because she is ignorant of basic economics, what the constitution says, and how this country works. The fact that the only job she could find with a college degree was bartending confirms my assumptions.

and what term would you prefer to describe the inner cities of the USA? The areas populated by poor black, whites, Asians, and Hispanics. ghetto is a term that the people living there use. If it offends you don't use it.
