Ocasio-Cortez: 'Mommy and Me'

[mamooth]

How's the conspiracy doing today?

What? It was yesterday's propaganda, so nobody is paying attention to it today?

You should know by now that's how your side's propaganda works. It has a very short sell-by date.

So, how'd all your weepy conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton's crimes work out? What's that? You were all humiliated repeatedly because it was a big fabrication every time?

Oh mammaries...you poor little ignorant girl. It’s no wonder you spend every waking moment so frustrated and aggravated. Fighting against reality must be exhausting.

And remember mammaries...Lisa Page is a devout left-winger and an F.B.I. Agent who was testifying under oath! No way she’s lying about Hitlery when she was working to undermine our elections to get Hitlery elected.

 

[P@triot]

So why do I keep triggering the craziest of the Trumpflakes here with facts and reason?

Sweetie, the next time you post facts or reason will be the first time that has ever happened. We’re all waiting. We all thought it would have happened by now through dumb luck alone.

So, let's continue. Trumpflakes, you do realize that raging about a politician's mother looks crazy to normal people, right?

Not nearly as crazy as you trying to PRETEND that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s own mother fleeing a state with AOC’s policies is no big deal. It’s the ultimate indictment on the failed policies you support, snowflake. But hey, keep trying to PRETEND like it’s not. Meanwhile, the entire world is laughing at you and AOC.

 

[P@triot]

Please answer at length. For the sake of your neighbors, I need to keep you off the streets.

She literally admits she’s trolling.

 

[P@triot]

My parents were "Dixiecrats". Southern Democrats that rejected the Republican Party because it was the party of Lincoln. Born in the 1920s they were still pissed about the Civil War.

All of my parents and grandparents were Democrats as well. All but one became Republicans. They used to tell me “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party...the Democrat Party left me”. No self-respecting American would be a Dumbocrat today.

 

[P@triot]

look dude - she diverts a million dollars to her boyfriends account and you're ok with this?

No,. she didn't. A propaganda website made that up, and you fell for it.

Bet you really hate it when your post becomes a boomerang, huh? Sooo.....when will you be changing your name to HumanPunchingBag?????

You can't make this up.

Socialist Ocasio-Cortez has the lame-brained Green New Deal, the basis of which will require huge taxes to accomplish.

The DailyMail has an interview with the mother of the fresh new face, the economic guru of the Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Mom is Blanca Ocasio-Cortez.....you've gotta read this interview..





Check out this part:

"Mrs Blanca Ocasio-Cortez – or BOC as her signature reads – is still settling down in Eustis, Florida, a small city in the far suburbs of Orlando.
'I lived in the New York area for most of my life but I started being unable to afford it,' Blanca said in the living-room of her modest but tidy Florida house.

'I worked and prayed and prayed, and things worked out. After the children graduated from college, I figured it was time for me to move to Florida'


'I was cleaning houses in the morning and working as a secretary at a hospital in the afternoon. I was working from 6am until 11pm. And I prayed and prayed, and things worked out. After the children graduated from college, I figured it was time for me to move to Florida.'



Blanca said it was a no-brainer, adding: 'I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I'm paying $600 a year in Florida. It's stress-free down here.'"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's mother tells how she hopes her daughter marries her longtime boyfriend | Daily Mail Online





Which brings to mind Rule #2a

2a. If not for double standards Liberals would have no standards at all.

It's not a matter of huge tax increases.
It's literally a matter of life and death. Democrats are proposing killing millions of Americans with this Green New Deal.
They want to eliminate the use of fossil fuels. What does this mean in reality, not the imaginary world of Democrats?

• No more cars
• No more air travel
• All food will have to be locally produced
• No more heating and air-conditioning systems in our homes
  
• All electricity will have to be created using wind power or solar
  
• All plastics will be banned because they come from fossil fuels
• No more cell phones
• No more Television
• All containers will have to be made from wood, metal, or glass
• All buildings and homes will have to be remodeled to meet rigid government standards

None of this will erase the fact that countries like China and Mexico, the greatest polluters on the planet, will have to stop their practices and go along with this crazy deal to have any effect on the environment. Figure the odds on them being willing to do this. Maybe this is the Democrat's solution to the immigration problem....because nobody will want to live here after AOC's stupid deal goes into effect.

 

[P@triot]

No,. she didn't. A propaganda website made that up, and you fell for it. That's the lesson here.

Actually, the real lesson here is how you will deny reality and lie your ass off for your cause. You’re committed to being a parasite (mooching off of the American people) until the day you die. And you’ll say and do anything to ensure the socialism you need to be a parasite comes to fruition.

You really need to get better news sources. I suggest you try The Drudge report Those who read Drudge are much better informed than you are. .

That was sarcasm, right? Please tell me it was. Restore my faith in humanity, and let me know you're not really that brainless and brainwashed.

/——/ You know Drudge doesn’t write the material on his website? You do know that, right? He links to other sources. Have you ever seen the Drudge website? Can you point to him editorializing or working as an investigative reporter?

"SNOPES GETS THE FACTS WRONG ON OCASIO-CORTEZ CAMPAIGN FINANCE SCANDALS

Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, her former campaign chair and current chief of staff, obtained majority control of Justice Democrats in December 2017. The PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, has been widely credited with manufacturing her upset victory over incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley.

Snopes writer Dan MacGuill falsely claimed in his story that Chakrabarti, who served as executive director of Justice Democrats, “was not an official agent or officer” of the PAC. He also failed to acknowledge the fact that Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez are members of the PAC’s three-member board of directors, according to archived versions of the Justice Democrats website and corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Chakrabarti began serving as Executive Director of Justice Democrats in January 2017, according to his LinkedIn.

A crazy homeless woman asked me for a cigarette, I said I didn't have one, and she screamed "F*** you! That's not what I am!" at me.

Here is the quintessential left-wing lunatic. First, she insults a woman calling her “crazy”. If this poor woman did in fact have a condition, then she was mentally ill. That’s what a rational, compassionate person would say (but we all know the party of ANTIFA lacks so much as an ounce of compassion).

Then she states the woman was “homeless”. As a devout socialist, I’m sure that mammaries brought the woman back with her to mammaries motor home. I mean, only a selfish piece of shit doesn’t share what they have with the less fortunate. You’re not a selfish piece of shit, are you mammaries? You didn’t leave that poor woman - suffering from mental illness - alone on the street...did you? What kind of piece of shit socialist does that? Oh wait...all of them do that.

Wow. This is seriously kooky AOC Derangement Syndrome. Her haters are off-the-rails. They don't even understand that they don't make any sense to normal people.

If no one pointed out here stupidity you "normal" loons would be avidly eating her shit up. Hopefully the attention will make a few of you think about what she is saying.

Not a chance of that. AOC supporters are almost as dumb as she is. I think that’s why they love her. She makes them feel “smart”. They speak dimwit like she does.

· Facebook has announced plans to check for 'fake news' using a series of organizations to assess whether stories are true

· One of them is a website called Snopes.com which claims to be one of the web's 'essential resources' and 'painstaking, scholarly and reliable'

· It was founded by husband-and-wife Barbara and David Mikkelson, who used a letterhead claiming they were a non-existent society to start their research

· Now they are divorced - with Barbara claiming in legal documents he embezzled $98,000 of company money and spent it on 'himself and prostitutes'

· In a lengthy and bitter legal dispute he is claiming to be underpaid and demanding 'industry standard' or at least $360,000 a year

· The two also dispute what are basic facts of their case - despite Snopes.com saying its 'ownership' is committed to 'accuracy and impartiality'

· Snopes.com founder David Mikkelson's new wife Elyssa Young is employed by the website as an administrator

· She has worked as an escort and porn actress and despite claims website is non-political ran as a Libertarian for Congress on a 'Dump Bush' platform

Yes, Snopes has become incredibly biased as of 2016. It wasn't always the case, it always leaned a bit to the left, just because it's on the internet, but it was never overt. I used to frequent both Snopes (for non political stories), Politifact and FactCheck.org (for political stories) daily up until around 2015. It's quite sad what had happened to these once highly-trusted publications.

A lot has changed in the past year. Snopes, Politifact and FactCheck are all currently aggressively pushing narratives. I wouldn't say it’s promoting left leaning narratives either. These sites regularly misconstrued facts during Bernie Sander’s campaign. This article really stood out to me from May of 2016. It says that a viral image does not show a recent Bernie rally. However, video from the event[1] shows that it was, in fact, taken from the same event. Snopes never explained why they thought it was taken from a previous rally. They just insisted it did.

This happened dozens of times during Bernie’s campaign.

However, more recently they have been aggressively pushing a pro-Clinton (and anti-Trump) narrative almost daily.
