AOC wants 70% tax on wealthy

“She said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, they’re going to want a list of names and she’s going to give it to them,”

ICE forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs? WTH!

Pretty soon AOC is going to start wearing the foil hat to keep ICE from intercepting her brain waves.

More evidence that the real minimum wage is $0/hr and that minimum wage laws always increase unemployment.

Not $0/hr. Would you prohibit someone from paying a mentor to allow them to work in business for a period of time in order to learn the business? It happens in the entrepreneurial community now. Would you pay Warren Buffett a million or so for the opportunity to follow him around and run his businesses for a few weeks or months? I say no minimum wage law.

AOC kicking *** and taking names in Dem Caucus. When 26 moderate Dems cross the aisle and vote with the Repubs, AOC says she's compiling a list of names and will work with "progressives" to unseat them.

Who would have ever thought that a freshman Congressman could wield this kind of influence? It'll be interesting to see if it blows up in her face.

If someone did that to me, I would have an encounter in the house lunch room to tell her in no uncertain terms where she and her groupies can go.
 
If AOC got removed that would be great, but Progressives break the law all the time and get off scot free. So I expect her to have a long infamous career.

The House won't expel her. Pelosi doesn't want that kind of open rebellion from the lunatic Left wing of her caucus. However, the FEC could go after her.

Damn, it's amazing. When I first started following politics in the early '90s, Nancy Pelosi was considered a hardcore radical - on the hard Left fringe of the Democratic Party. Now she's a moderate or even sightly Right within the party not because she has changed positions on anything but because a bigger band of wingnuts is emerging. She's basically the leader of the Trotsky wing of the party, while AOC and Ilhan Omar are the leaders of the Stalin wing.
 
Kat is the boss. That gives me another thought on the GND.

AOC invites everyone to the Donner Party to celebrate the GND.

Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get the food into the cities. Horses? If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating. You would bring about mass death.
You are delusional if you think fossil fuels will end any time soon, maybe in 500 yrs. AOC’s attitude is unjustifiably condescending. She is a neophyte pretending to be wise. Her kind bring ruination if allowed to be “in charge”. (from the cheap seats)."

Ha, ha, ha. Maybe the Left is waking up to the fact that their child prodigy may be leading them down a dead end road with a big cliff at the end of it.

Donald Trump joked about the GND at CPAC: A man says to his wife, "honey, is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television".

The thing about it is that she assumes she will be one of the ones who continue to be able to get good food and fly by private jet. This is always how it goes with these types -- the ruling elite always keep their perks while "little people" (the bulk of the nation) suffer. Madura, for example, just recently was bragging about this very thing, publicizing taunting imagery of his lavish daily diet (while many in the country had to kill and eat their pets just to live).

If AOC were sincere, she would already be taking a train around to her events and appearances. It would probably be a good look for her and be a chance for her to set a good example - dont just talk it, but live it -- why wait? But she doesnt. Why? Because most trains are impractical, dont go where you want or get you there on time and they cost way too much.

More commentary from Greenpeace activists. This one is date 2006 and is about immigration into the US. The speak is Paul Watson, who is considered one of the most aggressive environmentalists in the history of the movement:

https://www.seashepherd.org.au/news...the-nation-on-population-and-immigration.html

"Captain Watson Speaks to the Nation on Population and Immigration

With most of the major environmental organizations intimidated, reluctant, and decidedly voiceless on the issue, Captain Paul Watson spoke out on the Fox National News Network on May 15th in a broadcast heard from Maine to Hawaii on the issue of growing U.S. populations and the impact on both the U.S. and the global environment.

Captain Watson took advantage of the current controversy over illegal immigration to point out the environmental concerns about escalating U.S. populations. He advocated reducing immigration numbers to a level that will achieve U.S. population stabilization.

"The United States has the highest population growth rate of any nation with a 1.3% annual increase," said Watson. "This rate of increase, if it remains at this level will give the United States a population approaching or exceeding one billion by the end of the 21st Century."

Carl Pope, the Executive Director of the Sierra Club, argues that it does not matter how many people enter the United States because the world population is not affected because people move around.

"What Carl is ignoring here is the reality that the United States is the highest per capita resource consuming nation in the world. Every new American increases global resource utilization," said Watson, "The United States produces 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Population stabilization in the U.S. is not only good for the United States, it is good for the planet."

Paul Watson also pointed out that population growth contributes to urban sprawl and is the single greatest threat to species diversity.

When asked why other conservation organizations would not comment on the issue, Watson said that it is a choice between being ecologically correct or being seen as politically correct, and unfortunately, most environmental organizations are more concerned with being seen as politically correct.

One critic sent an e-mail to Captain Watson demanding to know what this issue has to do with protecting whales and marine life. "Stick to what you do best and don't get involved in this issue," the message said.

Captain Watson responded by pointing out that escalating human populations are the greatest threat to the survival of oceanic species. More people means more pollution, more agricultural run-off, more fishing, more pressure to resume whaling, to lower seal populations, and it means more ships and more resource extraction.

"The three most important ecological laws are diversity, interdependence, and finite resources. Diversity of species on this planet and the interdependence of these species is essential to the survival of all species, including our own. There are limits to growth and for human populations to increase means we must steal the resources and thus carrying capacity of the environment from other species. They must be removed to increase our numbers. This will result in less diversity and less interdependence and ultimately it will have grave consequences for humanity," Captain Watson said.

"I don't say what it is popular to say," added Watson. "I don't hold right or left political values. I speak from an ecological perspective. Being concerned about population growth in the United States is an ecologically-correct position. There is nothing political about it."
 
AOC’s chief of staff ran $1M slush fund by diverting campaign cash to his own companies. AOC and her Chief of Staff have been reported to the FEC for investigation

"It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws" ​

Obligatory -- But she's a Democrat so nothing will happen

Yup, blue state libs fleeing to red states for lower taxes; where they proceed to vote for democrats, who will raise their taxes. Go figure.

I have a friend who bought a house in the middle of a brand new development in Cedar Park (Austin area). The neighbors on both sides and the one directly across the street are all from Cali. He thinks that he's the only native Texan in the 'hood.

It's housing prices driving people from "liberal bastions", not taxes. If you already own a house in one of these markets you can sell it for a mint then pay cash and have a nice nest egg in a less inflated housing market. This is part of my plan after all my sons get into college. Oregon, Idaho or Arizona are more likely destinations for my wife and I though.
