    Every time i come into this board I think, “Today I’m going to see more RW fantasy and hypocrisy”, and today, I saw the most hypocritical RW fervor swamp posts i have ever seen. It was laugh out loud funny, if it wasn’t so scary.

    This is EXACTLY why you elected Trump. But with AOC, this is a problem? She riles up people, and that’s EXACTLY what almost every one of you righties who posted in this thread have previously said is what you love about Trump, and one of the main reasons you elected him.

    And “run train” means to “ROLL OVER” meaning they are going to roll over the progressive agenda. But you make it about whatever riles up the base.

    1) The article says "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already making enemies in the House Democratic Caucus — and some of its members are mounting an operation to bring the anti-establishment, democratic socialist with 2.2 million Twitter followers into the fold."

    2) The gist of it is that it is the LW in the House that is reacting predictably to a bubbleheaded bimbo they themselves created, and what will they do about it?

    3) AJ tries to deflect away from this incident and onto the RW in order to avoid the in-fighting in his own party in a predictable yet transparent manner.

    4) AJ falls for the bait and goes on into his usual whatabloutism (typo and it stays.) which only makes his post even funnier as it misses the point of the OP completely as well as exposes the usual weak attempt to derail the thread away from an uncomfortable subject for him.

    5) Why is it so easy for AJ to troll himself?

    6) Hillary in a landslide.

    B.S. B.S. B.S. Running a train is exactly what you KNOW it is...a bunch of guys "running" right through a woman...or a bunch of guys through another guy. Claiming it is anything other than that is BEYOND intellectual dishonesty and just flat out stupidity for even suggesting it. If a MALE representative said this, the MSM would be going completely bat **** CRAZY. You know it. We ALL know it. Embrace your hypocrisy. OWN it and move on. And people Elected Trump as a screw you to the establishment. ALL the establishment. And it wasn't necessarily a good idea either. AOC is bartender who's never done anything meaningful in her life besides get elected in a tiny little insignificant district....who also happens to be a crazy socialist...who also happens to appeal to equally crazy young Democrat voters who truly don't know diddly crap about the country, the world or how anything properly functions in society. Because if they knew, they would see her as the nutbag that she is.

    I actually like her...she speaks the truth about the DNC, they are socialist. The Party is starting to realize the truth, might not be good for them overall..

    More waitresses would be one helluva lot better than the clowns we have now. The girl is rocking the boat, and it needs to be rocked, hard.

    Well since a "progressive agenda" isn't a woman.......well, you get that.....And if a male said it, I would chastise the MSM for making the claim.

    And what is AOC ? She was elected by her district to shake up the dem party. And who cares that she was a bartender ? Most of america can relate to a bartender ;)

    Trump was a spoiled little rich kid who achieved nothing in his life except selling himself. He is a self professed "billionaire", who started with $400 million. He shook up the "base" and they voted for him to shake up politics. He appealed the the bat **** crazy wing of the republican party, which just so happens to be the majority. His message was that he was going to make everyone rich, which they bought hook line and sinker, and now they are all screaming that they're not rich because democrats are holding their money hostage because they hate Trump. He verifiably lies constantly, and the right has built their lives around trying to make those lies true. It's fascinating to watch, and the parallels of hypocrisy are astonishing.

    Do you mean to say you like the status quo? I thought you were one of those swamp-draining MAGA guys intent on correcting the system?

    That guy that didn't achieve anything actually achieved a lot. Doesn't matter if you like him. Could you quote the line when he said he'll make "everyone" rich? And I'll see if you were supposed to take it literally, like a pile of burgers being a mile high?

    So we're okay with unnamed sources now?

    As for AOC and her relationship with the DNC, I don't doubt that there are some who want her to rein it in. She's a newby and should take some time to learn the ropes before grabbing the spotlight. I'm not against her goals, but I think she needs to learn how best to work toward them.

    You misunderstand the term

    Trump drives liberals insane and makes them babble nonsense

    But the reaction to cortez has been pretty reasonable

    Unless you prefer that she be completely ignored

    I've never really been an anarchist, but in my old age I'm beginning to think we need a little bit. I like the lady's style so far, and her ideas.

    With our elected representatives nullifying the Fourth Amendment and Habeas Corpus, an argument might be made that we already have it. With perpetual war being waged all 'round the globe, we might already have it.

    I think if trump is able to do anything over the resistance of the swamp rats in washington he will do that

    But the enemy is the business-as-usual crowd in and around congress

    They are paying attention to her

    Is that wrong in your opinion?

    Do you want everyone to ignore her?
