AOC says Americas garbage. I prefer the former Alaskan governors thoughts on the country than the barmaids.seacoaster wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 6:21 am Hah. If you can find a single mention of Mrs. Palin by me, I'll buy you a bottle of your choice from a fan's inventory.
I guess the difference is that Mrs. Palin, other than deep-sixing John McCain's chance at the Presidency, wasn't worthy of a small fraction of anyone's -- or my -- mindshare. AOC has something to say. I understand your beating heart for her.
I don't know how anyone in the Trump camp can criticize anyone for their grasp of the English language when Master Covfefe is bigly confused by all those words and how to put them together. Prez Slippery Tongue is an orator of the fourth grade (giving him the benefit of the doubt there) level, you should find something else to complain about AOC.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:48 pm Seriously... Republicans love AOC... she is the Democrats answer to Sarah Palin. The idiotic gift that keeps on giving. The hardest determination between the 2 women is which one butchers the English language more. Like yah know it kinda like yah know I like get confused sorta like yah know I sorta kinda grasp the concept of yah know like what the English language is like all about. Archie Bunker has the perfect term for AOC... dingbat...Advantage to Palin... no snapping of bubble gum and twirling her hair with her fingers.

She gets far more press than the guy she unseated. She is the Babadook.seacoaster wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:19 pm I have hardly heard her speak over the past few months. But she speaks very like a person of her generation; they tend to be imprecise and hyperbolic in order to make points. I very much doubt she thinks this country is "garbage;" I think she sees with some acuity the entrenchment of poverty and the imbalances in advantages and is grasping at ways to contest them.
But the reaction to her from the right has been really curious. Is the right scared of her? Is the right enamored of her? Does the right think she is a good whooping-gal to keep Americans scared of "libs"? Whatever the answer, she is a single Congressperson, who believes her election was founded on a mandate to shake things up and try new ideas aimed at including the under-included. She's interesting, sure; but the amount of ink spilled over her is silly.
I have not seen any extended clip that would provide context, but I would be willing to bet the subject of the discussion was not America but rather some issue we face. 6in is a drama queen, always has been.seacoaster wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:19 pm I have hardly heard her speak over the past few months.

Precisely, on BOTH counts!jhu72 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:47 pmI have not seen any extended clip that would provide context, but I would be willing to bet the subject of the discussion was not America but rather some issue we face. 6in is a drama queen, always has been.seacoaster wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:19 pm I have hardly heard her speak over the past few months.

I pay her no attention as I believe I have explained before. I will say that as time passes and I get a glimpse of this democratic freshman class, I am more and more impressed. The various congressional hearings are showing these mostly female congress persons to be top notch thinkers, speakers, representatives of their various communities. Very impressive. If this is a glimpse of the future quality of congress, the country will be in good hands. AOC is hardly the best of her class.
Depends on what metric you're using for "best".
