Ocasio-Cortez trolls Fox News in Spanish

LOL! It must be fun to pretend that he's 'self-made'. Where does all of his tax fraud fit into that? What about daddy's money? The Russian mob?

By your definition, Bill Gates isn't self-made either since his dad was a millionaire. Add Warren Buffett, Vince McMahon, and pretty much 90% of the most wealthy in this country.
 

I clicked on your last link. Then clicked on the fact checker link that was in the article. Know what I found interesting?

First one:

Trump tweet: “Richard Cordray will let you down, just like he did when he destroyed the government agency that he ran.”

Their answer: Cordray, who is running for Ohio governor, was the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It's hard to understand how he could destroy something that had not even existed before.

So because he was the first director of an agency they're finding it hard to understand how he could "destroy" something that had not even existed before? Was he or was he not a director for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? And is there or is there not scandals involving bureaucratic overreach, gender and racial discrimination, funneling taxpayer funds to Democrat ad makers and an attempt to to play politics with the CFPB’s leadership in an attempt to undermine Trump?

Rein in the CFPB, because 'independent' shouldn't mean 'unaccountable'
Whistleblower Says CFPB Falsified Documents to Fine Payday Lender
EXCLUSIVE: Obama’s Top Campaign Ad Firm Got Nearly $60M In Federal Contracts
Confusion and chaos engulf consumer agency

Seems to me that both Trump and Wapo (the fact checkers....) are using OPINIONS. Wapo, claiming to be fact checkers for this should not be offering opinions as "facts". If the very first one of their "fact checked" list is based on pure opinion with no facts...why should anyone even bother reading the rest? (I did read several more...I can find problems with each of those also)

I could go on with the list at Wapo but I'd be in violation of DP Rule 9a.

Note: I'm not saying any of the claims against Cordray are true. I'm not digging that much into them because the issue here is about a "fact checker" using OPINIONS as "facts" or as something to note as being a "lie" or "misleading".

Since Trump and Mulvaney have both said they want to get rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and have done nothing whatsoever to address your "concerns," I think your nit-picking points are moot to say the least.

Yep...continue to ignore the main point of the post. I'm sure they don't call it "blind partisanship" for nothing after all.
 
I guarantee you that a Puerto Rican bartender from the Bronx knows how to handle whiny elite white men. Fox News is doing FOR her what CNN and other networks did FOR Trump. They are building her up and giving her more screen time. Or do you think they would hold a segment about her shoes if she was a white guy? SMH.



I hate her policies, but her messaging is spot on.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trolls Fox News in Spanish

Spanish...English...doesn't matter what language this leftwing dingbat uses. She continually demonstrates that she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Here's another example from yesterday: https://therightscoop.com/alexandri...-again-doesnt-understand-healthcare-surprise/

Funny how you seem to have missed it
 
A self made Billionaire who was elected President

Self-made with over $400 million given to him by daddy, while trump claims daddy only have him on million.

and has created the best economy in all modern us history

Now you're sounding like him - ignoring the fact that his draconian tax cuts has added another trillion to our national debt.

VS a dumb s**t who cant name the 3 branches of government. Scared? No.

Do you have a link to AOC's inability to name the 3 branches of gov't or are you going to apologize for lying?
 
And so does the US Forest service, when Leftist Environmentalist are not blocking them. "Raking" is the term they use when they drag augers to clear Dead wood.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...ts-not-because-raking/?utm_term=.b60a8563e23e

President Trump, who said Saturday as he was touring California’s wildfire areas that Finnish authorities “spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem.”

“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forests, it’s very important,” Trump said.

The Finnish president confirmed that he discussed wildfire prevention with Trump, but rejected the suggestion that raking ever came up. The forest service in Finland does carry out controlled burns of the forest floor mostly to clear away underbrush and also promote new saplings.

You're like Charlie Brown and the football. You really believe that one of these days trump is going to stop being a total imbecile.

I don't agree, but your accusation sounds familiar:

https://www.usnews.com/opinion/thom...dermined-by-his-lack-of-knowledge-or-patience

The problem for Trump is that an effective imperial presidency requires both understanding the inner workings of the vast bureaucracy under his command and staffing it with competent, trustworthy leaders who can effectively translate his ideas into policy. Trump has neither. He lacks the knowledge necessary to leverage the bureaucracy and the patience to learn about it. Entry to his inner circle is gained through nepotism, patronage or loyalty. Skill falls further down on the list of desirable qualities, and experience doesn't seem to appear on it at all.

Ohio representative calls out Ocasio-Cortez over comment about chambers of government

I didn't bother with the article itself. There's a video of her messing up twice in a row. So hear it from her own mouth.

Note: I consider it a flub myself. Much like Obama's "57 States" flub. Well...maybe a bit worse than Obama's flub. After all, she corrected herself and STILL got it wrong. That's slightly worse than a flub. But I still don't consider it all that bad compared to her socialist ideas.

Take a civics class,The Economy and Government Debt two different things. Since the tax cuts Federal Govt revenue is the highest its been in US history. Yes the Govt does have a spending problem.

I guess you missed the news, by the way when she corrects herself it's still not right. An adult later giving her the right answer makes her no less of a Dip S**t. https://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/11/19/watch-ocasio-cortez-fails-name-three-branches-government/
 
Doesn't cancel her many idiotic comments though

She may have the basic understanding one would expect a junior House member would have. One is supposed to start at the bottom and work ones way up to become a good leader.

Let me give you a real world lesson. Other than one's own state's House Rep,...an incoming House Rep from another state ...used-to-be never known to the general populace.

That you know of her... means she has risen above her pay scale. You are giving her ...her powers.
 
Doesn't cancel her many idiotic comments though
Idiotic comments like:
  • "Let me tell you, I'm a really smart guy."
    • "Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" (rhetorical question)
    • "They don’t write good. They have people over there...they don’t -- they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good."
    • "I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."
    • "You know, it really doesn't matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
    • "Women: You have to treat them like [scat]."
    • "I'll tell you, it's Big Business. If there is one word to describe Atlantic City, it's 'Big Business.'"
    • "China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters -- rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act."
    • "Iraq and Iran were very similar militarily, and they’d fight, fight, fight, and then they’d rest. They’d fight, fight, fight, and then Saddam Hussein would do the gas, and somebody else would do something else, and they’d rest."
    • "When Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water."
    • "I wrote this out, and it's very close to my heart. Because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down."
    • "My entire life, I've watched politicians bragging about how poor they are, how they came from nothing, how poor their parents and grandparents were. And I said to myself, if they can stay so poor for so many generations, maybe this isn't the kind of person we want to be electing to higher office. How smart can they be? They're morons."
    • "Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people."
    • "I might lie to you..., but I'll never lie to Giacomo, okay?"
    • "The man that wrote the second book...didn't write the first book."

  • Beyond idiotic:
    • "How about bringing baskets of money into Iraq? I want to know -- who were the soldiers who had that job? I want to know who were the soldiers that had that job, ’cause I think they’re living well right now, whoever they may be."
    • "40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan...And now it’s the tallest."
    • "I didn't go bankrupt."
    • Booting a mother and her crying baby from a rally moments after saying "I love babies." -- "Actually, I was only kidding. You can get that baby out of here. Don’t worry, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking. That’s OK People don’t understand. That’s OK."
    • On getting to heaven -- "Once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well. And I figure it is probably, maybe the only way I'm going to get to heaven."
    • "I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier."
    • "I'm good at war. I've had a lot of wars of my own. I'm really good at war. I love war."
    • "I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me—and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
 
By your definition, Bill Gates isn't self-made either since his dad was a millionaire. Add Warren Buffett, Vince McMahon, and pretty much 90% of the most wealthy in this country.

What's interesting about the idea of "self made" is the common connotation is of someone who struggled against the odds and all sorts of adversity to attain wealth. If you have a parent bailing you out, or a privileged background which opens doors otherwise unavailable then the "self made" takes on a different context. That's not to say the person's accomplishments shouldn't be acknowledged, but it wouldn't be accurate to equate it to someone who came from poverty and attained wealth without those advantages.
 
Cortez has her feet in her mouth so much, I'm surprised she has any use for shoes.

The poster said that AOC could not name the 3 branches of gov't, which are the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary. I'll make my request again: Do you have evidence that AOC does not know what the 3 branches of gov't are? If not, you have failed as well. You're only trying to delegitimize her because you're terrified of her and people like her. Fear is the only emotion in the right-wing nutopia.
 
Mentally handicap and bug eyed is spot on? Well ok.

Just stare at her tits as she blathers on about social justice socialism. Both Trump and AOC are useful idiots. Trump because he puts his Presidential pen to the GOP agenda. AOC because she at least makes some Americans ponder what the US can expect if the left ever gets power. Watching her on video is a lot cheaper than a trip to Venezuela and safer too.

Except his Dad died when Cheeto Jesus was in his late 50s. By then he was worth a lot more than his father ever was. Sure his Dad left him millions but not the Billions he is worth today.

Russian Mob? Sure, that is why the adult diaper wearing Mueller is reduced to threatening relatives to get low level Trump supporters to plead guilty to process crimes, instead of proving Russia Collusion .


Please prove he is worth billions.

He sued an author for saying that in reality he was actually worth about 270 million. Trump could not prove otherwise and lost the law suit...

All his money is borrowed from Russia and Saudis as no one else on the planet will loan him money.

What did he use for collateral?

Influence and favors perhaps???
 
So we had 8 years of Bathhouse Berry's crappie economy,

I don't get it, are you suggesting Obama's gay? Cool burn.

North Korea threatening to Nuke us, and China dominating us. President Trump reversed all that,

So.... soo.... NK is building more missiles now. How does that constitute trump "reversing the nuclear threat"?

yet he is the "imbecile."

Im not Charlie Brown, Im Matt Bryant nailing a 110 yard kickoff.

LOL - yeah - in your mind, perhaps :)
