    And representation in the house is a good place for that.

    The Republicans put an old, evil Cortez, in the White House. But listen to them whine!!!

    When Bonespurs J. Halfwit was elected, I thought that maybe his stupid campaign speeches were just to get him elected, and that he would become pragmatic once in office.

    I now understand that he really is that stupid and incompetent.

    AOC? We shall see.

    She reminds me a lot of the kind of girls my buddies and me used to have 'fun' with in Mexican border towns back in our teenage years.

    Uh, and, NO, we didn't talk to any of them about "economics".... :mrgreen:

    Actually it is her views that make her an idiot such as the example in this thread.

    Getting rid of air travel is another one.

    Dude in that district a dead dog would get six times more votes than a Republican. That's like claiming you're smarter than the village idiot.

    You shouldn't talk about that poor girl like that. It's not her fault no one ever taught her anything worth knowing.

    Which is pretty typical of the district she won. The dems usually win by about that margin there.

    It isn't just a political misalignment. People can respectfully disagree, that isn't the issue.

    The garbage that comes out of her mouth could only come from an idiot who just doesn't know any better. It's like listening to a four year old describe a Utopian society. You can be articulate and well educated and still be a complete idiot (they give degrees to these kinds every day). For an econ. major to say half the things she has spouted is just absurd.

    She should have stuck to serving bar nuts and flat beer to the neighborhood drunks.

    The irony with AOC is that she is actually living proof that anyone can become anything in America; all while enjoying her good fortunes and trying to totally F it up for future generations.

    What? I said nothing pro or con.
    I merely asked you what make you qualified to make a claim as to the idiocy of it.

    Since you couldn't answer, we'll assume you have no basis to make any judgement about her economics or any economics. Just like I made no claim 1 way or the other.

    Then she is a step above the dumber than a stump, whiny snowflake that inhabits the oval office. The greatest liar in chief with the most criminals to ever inhabit the office.
    I bet you're so proud, eh?

    She's an idiot because she confused tax breaks with money in the bank. She seems to get confused on nearly every issue.

    Not knowing the difference between money in the bank to spend on social programs and tax breaks is not something you grow out of.

    Diversity is great unless it comes at the expense of brains and experience. We don't need stupid people in Congress to counteract intelligent people.

    My qualifications are I have a functional brain whereas this little girl apparently does not and since you seem to want to defend her I have to wonder.....

    Actually I am proud. Good judge picks, economy is booming, foreign relations are back on track, Isis is defeated, Kim is chastened, Putin is squirming and the wall is being built as we speak. I do feel bad for everyone associated with trump having their lives turned upside down with mostly process crimes that occurred due to the Mueller witch hunt that found nothing on Trump. I hope he pardons most of them

    So what in your opinion is required to call an idiot an idiot?

    One doesn't need much more than a very general knowledge of economics to know that some of the statements she has made are completely ignorant.

    Hate her? Not hardly. It's hard to work up hatred for such appalling levels of ignorance. I feel sad for her and the myriad of oh so sad millennial, just like her that have been sucked into this leftist fantasy world in which left is right up is down and everything is always someone else's fault.

    It doesnt take an economics degree to see that canning a deal that included a 3 billion tax break on future earnings does not free up 3 billion in the state budget.

    The dude couldn't give any inference as to if he has any knowledge of economics.
    What is your background in economics to determine what is or isn't an ignorant statement?
    tRUMP supporters have no credibility on anything economics.
    They don't even know the difference between MEXICO and USA, when it comes to funding the wall.

    LOL. Bad defense.
    You support, as admitted, a liar in chief who said MEXICO will pay for a wall. And somehow you think American Tax Payers are Mexicans? As the taxpayer of the USA, are now paying for the wall.
    So, I don't count that as a functioning brain. tRUMPers support the most corrupt cabinet in the history of the USA. Has any other prez had more criminals in their cabinet before? NOPE.
    So, spare us this stupid brain function you claim. Supporting a liar in chief is a brain function, but it's a deformed function.

    It does take a small education to know the difference between MEXICO and USA taxpayers.
    People support a liar who say MEXICO will pay for a wall, had a plan on his campaign web page, but now wants the fools of the USA to pay for his wall. ONLY a STUPID person would support liars like that.
    So, it takes a small amount of education to understand when one is lied to. Do you think the American people have been lied to about who will PAY for the wall?
    I know I do.

    And of course, anyone with a 1st grade education know, AOC is a freshman congress person is a district in a state who has no power or position to do anything but talk.
    So why would anyone be worried about a nothing personburger?
