    My suspicion... AOC and trump are very similar in approaches... and AOC is simply looking for trump to validate her as a political force. Your blogger is simply helping her.

    don't think anyone can accuse The Week of being far-right or a "random blog." btw, can a blog be "random" if someone actually takes the time to select it? asking for a friend. ;)

    Sometimes - you know what that is?

    Reflection - you should try it sometime.

    Unfortunately... it is easier than being the person who cuts spending. Republicans haven't been truly fiscally conservative in a long time.

    Considering how wrong you are about things, this coming from you is comforting.

    im a democrat but she sounds fkin r****ded here. What she said could've been summed up in 5 seconds. Why would a specific congressman/women be confined in their job duties or what laws they would write?

    lol cmon we need to get our **** together.

    You think folks who take NRA money should be allowed to write gun laws?

    Pharma money should write pharma laws?

    Fallacy to assume that just because the president isn't beholden to the ethics committees of Congress that it is easier to "be a bad guy." There is way more attention on the president and those who run for the highest office.

    I am right about almost everything, but people pick out the few times I am wrong and run with it, creating a narrative for stupid people to believe in.

    Don't be one of those stupid folks.

    Or, I am wrong about everything and this is the exception to the rule.

    You choose, but either way, I am right by being left.

    Suck on that..chump!

    Stupid people don't know they are stupid the absence of knowledge gives them the illusion that they are actually smart, when in fact they are pretty damned ignorant overall.

    Cause that's like the way congressional hearings work, you have to have witnesses ask questions to get it on the record. Then you pass legislation based on that record.

    You can't just make a speech and say "dark money is corrupt, yo! <MIC DROP>" - I mean, you can, but this is better way of going about it if you want to follow the legislative process.
