What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

yeah I'm not buying at all that there are political points to be gained in the TX electorate by bipartisanship, much less teamimg up with this year's Satan, of all ppl

only for Chuck Todd types

AOC has proven sharp, or at least has a sharp staff. I'm sure she won't fall into a Cruz trap. The glory of Ted Cruz is that he's such a transparently meretricious and silly man; he fools no one.

well except for that one lady seventeen times

AOC used 'begging the question' in an improper fashion the other day; this is the only flaw i've noticed so far

hee hee

Fox News' bullshit with her is so ham-handed yet their viewership is so fucking brain-dead that I guess it should count as being subversive. This rant brought on by reading a headline article about her on the site and immediately noticing that they painstakingly recreate every single ellipsis, "you know," repetition, and stumble in her speech when they quote her, which afaik they don't do for anyone else, obviously not for the Big Wet Prez. god, they're so pathetic.

Mr. President, you’re from Queens.

You may fool the rest of the country, but I’ll call your bluff any day of the week.

Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more.

pleeeease respond directly to that, trump, pleeeease

she showed remarkable restraint in not adding "felicia"

kinda surprised Trump hasn't given her a dumb nickname yet. I'm sure my father-in-law could help.

That was a Scavino tweet. There's no possible way he could spell her name correctly on the first try.

I'm sure Trump will just call her Sandy

kinda surprised Trump hasn't given her a dumb nickname yet.

I think he realizes she is absolutely not scared of him, and as with any bully that sets him back on his heels a bit.

i'm sure he's workshopping "Slutty Cortez" on the golf course

Socialist Sandy

XP I imagine whenever he does respond, part of the attack will involve him not thinking she's a "10".

I was thinking Ditzy AOC, that seems to be the angle the right-wing media has been taking on her and I don't think Trump's creative enough to go in a different direction.

AOC's best asset is how she bullies the bullies right back

kyle walker?

has no one in power tried "Dumbfuck Donald" aka #DFD

just fyi i have tried a similar line on trump in my daydreams, and he comes back with "oh this one has a real foul mouth, just a real nasty mouth" and before i can get my response in the press goes crazy and starts shouting additional questions at him and the moment is over

We need an investigative reporter to seek out his early classmates and ask what pejoratives they used while he was crammed in a locker with the band of his undershorts stretched over his head.

Ditzy AOC, that seems to be the angle the right-wing media has been taking on her

0_o how are they getting this from her being a sharp, focused, aware communicator and oh never mind

We need an investigative reporter to seek out his early classmates and ask what pejoratives they used while he was crammed in a locker with the band of his undershorts stretched over his head.

investigative reporters have so far failed to uncover the moment when cruel bullies shaped the formerly kind and placid Donnie into a defensive creature, trapped inside a harsh shell, that we can still reach and nourish and change

In elementary school, Donny impressed classmates with his refusal to acknowledge mistakes, even one so trivial as misidentifying a popular professional wrestler. No matter his pals’ ridicule, one recalled, he doubled down, insisting wrestler Antonino Rocca’s name was “Rocky Antonino.”

A fierce competitor, Trump could erupt in anger, pummeling another boy or smashing a baseball bat if he made an out, two childhood neighbors said. In school, he misbehaved so often that his initials became his friends’ shorthand for detention. .. “DTs” — short for “Donny Trump.”

Dennis Burnham was four years younger and lived around the corner from Donald. He inherited his own impression of his neighbor from his mother, who warned that he should “stay away from the Trumps.”

“Donald was known to be a bully, I was a little kid, and my parents didn’t want me beaten up,” said Burnham, 65, a business consultant in Texas.

Once when she left Dennis in a playpen in a back yard adjoining the Trumps’ property, Martha Burnham returned to find Donald throwing rocks at her son. “She saw Donald standing at the fence,” Dennis Burnham said, “using the playpen for target ­practice.”

“He had a reputation for saying anything that came into his head,” said Donald Kass, 70, a retired agronomist who was a schoolmate. When Trump misidentified Rocca, the pro wrestler, Kass recalled, “We would laugh at him and tell him he was wrong, and he’d say he was right. The next time, he would make the same mistake, and it would be the same thing all over again.”

In his neighborhood, Donald and his friends were known to ride their bikes and “shout and curse very loudly,” said Steve Nachtigall, who lived nearby. Nachtigall said he once saw them jump off their bikes and beat up another boy.

“It’s kind of like a little video snippet that remains in my brain because I think it was so unusual and terrifying at that age,” recalled Nachtigall, 66, a doctor in New Jersey. “He was a loudmouth bully.”

Ann Trees, 82, who taught at Kew-Forest School, where Trump was a student through seventh grade: “He was headstrong and determined. He would sit with his arms folded with this look on his face — I use the word surly — almost daring you to say one thing or another that wouldn’t settle with him.”

Trump wrote that his main focus as a youngster was “creating mischief.” As a second-grader, he wrote, he “actually” gave his music teacher a black eye because “I didn’t think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled.”

None of Trump’s childhood friends recall the incident or Donald talking about it then. Asked about the punch recently, Trump said, “When I say ‘punch,’ when you’re that age, nobody punches very hard.”

At a 2009 reunion, Kass said, the teacher, Charles Walker, told him that Trump had never struck him. But Walker, who died last year, claimed no affection for Trump. In the final stages of his life, according to his son, Charles Walker learned that Trump was considering a presidential bid.

“When that kid was 10,” Peter Walker recalled his father telling family members gathered at his bedside, “even then he was a little s---.”

Dobias said he recognized in Trump an innate drive: “He wanted to be number one. He wanted to be noticed. He wanted to be recognized. And he liked ­compliments.”

Enraged by a bunkmate's unmade bed, he threw the boy's sheets on the floor and

tried to push a fellow cadet out a second-floor window, only to be thwarted when two other students intervened.

In his room, Trump played Elvis Presley and Johnny Mathis albums. He liked to screw an ultraviolet light into the overhead socket and lie down for a tan. “We’re going to the beach,” Trump would announce to his roommate, David Smith.

A month after senior year started, Trump faced a crisis. One of his platoon sergeants shoved a plebe, Lee Ains, against a wall because the freshman was too slow snapping to attention. At the time, the academy was already dealing with a serious hazing incident and was sensitive to new allegations of abuse. The administration reassigned Trump as a battalion training officer.

Ains said the academy concluded that Trump had not monitored his officers “as closely as he should have.”

Trump described his reassignment as a promotion. “I did a good job and that’s why I got elevated,” he said.

I mean, there's these, but I don't know how effective suddenly calling him Donny or referring to his hair is gonna be at curtailing him. Might have to impeach or something instead?

Even Trump has acknowledged the similarities between himself as an adult and when he was the boy whom friends alternately referred to as “Donny,” “The Trumpet” and “Flat Top” (for his hair).

I don't know, man. Maybe we should try calling him Drumpf again first.

Whole lot of Trump posting on the AOC thread

we need somewhere to talk about him

Imagine being lectured by a Cheney about mass murder. On second thought, don't imagine that. https://t.co/vUQiJVBbQD

George Takei, 1940s US "internee," backs up AOC

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/george-takei-us-has-concentration-camps/

AOC on CNN not merely defending but doubling down on "concentration camps" callout like a complete boss

I know it gets harder and the job is disillusioning but I really hope she is able to sustain this boldness

on a day like today it feels more and more critical

This Senate Bill will have us write a $4.6 Billion blank check (incl military $) for the border w NO accountability - just a verbal pinky promise.

Trump is not to be trusted with protecting our immigrants. Why must that even be stated? We need hard lines of protection, in ink. https://t.co/xFci23pFo6

Generally speaking I think the intercept is fine, it’s just greenwald who sucks

can you do that for all the other tweets you post

“uh oh look out doug henwood haters”

give us a kiss

Uh oh look out kiss haters

definitely more of a king diamond guy, if that's what you're getting at.

The Intercept played a role in the conviction of whistleblower/patriot Reality Winner.

as did we all

It's slightly annoying that AOC lacks an innate sonar for oncoming meme garbage barges.

pelosi does bad

“A glass of water could’ve [beat a 20-yr incumbt]”
“The Green Dream or whatever”
“Their public whatever”

Those aren’t quotes from me; they‘re from the Speaker. Having respect for ourselves doesn’t mean we lack respect for her.

It means we won’t let everyday people be dismissed. https://t.co/VMRkcd8xlL

this is a good tweet

pelosi seems threatened by AOC

the legacy pol's territory has wire fencing

her "They’re four people, and that’s how many votes they got" comment is going to look pretty shortsighted if/when AOC and "the squad", which is apparently what they're called, get more support in the house

"What's Meadows and Mulvaney got, a half-dozen knuckle-draggers?"

wow pelosi is kind of a piece of shit
