How many 20 somethings earn $174,000 per year? Of those that do, how many live in run-down walk-up flats? |
AOC has already had untold number of death threats against her. Very few buildings could handle her security needs.
If this psychotic thread is any indication, I think we can figure out who is making the threats. |
In other words, she's using politics for personal financial gain. Fine by me, but I notice a little tiny disconnect with her political platform. |

She ran for Congress for the paycheck. Sure! ![]() |
The Secret Service would like a word with you... |
Pathological liar? Laughable. |
Funny I don't notice any disconnect. The money is hers to spend as she wishes. If you think it isn't, I demand you give your entire salary away to your entire salary away to your favorite cause and move into a van foen by the river. |
AOC constantly cites the simultaneous existence of extreme luxury and poverty as a moral failing and as justification for her proposed redistributive policies.
Once you realize, however, that, within a moral context, there is no meaningful distinction between “extreme luxury” and “excess” in relation to eliminating poverty it’s clear she is undermining her own position. No different than Bernie or Al Gore insiting on private jet travel while asserting climate change is an extinction level challenge. |

You idiots couldn’t find the navy yard on google maps, eh? |
What’s funny is that can’t see where this is heading even though AOC is telegraphing it. To cite AOC, if private owniership of a helipad in New York while poverty exists in Alabama is immoral, why aren’t $1000 Hamilton tickets and upscale restaurants immoral? Why is it moral to spend $15 on a movie ticket when that $15 could be allocated to alleviate poverty? Travel to Europe while poverty exists? When her staff tells you they want to end air travel and consumption of meat you should believe them. |
Once you realize that collective action is the omly solution to collective problems, you'll stop focusing supposed hypocrisies and start focusing on policies. If you believe that polticians'living quarters has a detrimental effect on policy, then I suggest you propose legislation that all Congressmembers have to live in government barracks, and that the White House be torn down and replaced with affordable housing. Funny, this issue only comes up with Democratic politicians though. Apparently, republican politicians get to do whatever they want because they don't give a crap about anybody else anyway. |
According to Daily Mail, yes . . . NOT fine by me https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6752313/AOCs-campaign-team-accused-illegally-funneling-6-000-boyfriend-allied-PAC.html some highlights:
