You're really talking about Trumpster the Dumpster aren't you? Nice try, Vlad. |
The manager's amendment wasn't given to the ranking member of the committee of primary jurisdiction until one hour before the hearing. You are free to create your own narrative but, I don't have to buy it. I listened to the hearing. Did you? It is of major consequence to each and every voter in the country. The bill is opposed by the ACLU amongst other organizations. I have many, many opinions about several of the amendments being offered and am genuinely shocked it was scheduled for Rules Cmte before the other committees of jurisdiction got to hold hearings on it. Again, it makes MAJOR changes to our voting system. "Democracy Dies In the Darkness" right? |
EXACTLY! This is what Trump is all about! |
Regarding "reading lists" the PP attacking AOC quite obviously DID NOT read the original Daily Mail interview with her mom being cited by the various conservative outlets where her mom goes into great detail about her struggles to make ends meet, to be carrying on as though AOC had an easy life of privilege. Instead you are just citing little out-of-context sound bites about "SEE SHE FLED HIGH TAXES THAT HER CRAZY SOCIALIST DAUGHTER WANTS" |
Didnt she grow up in Westchester, CT? That's the "almost" Greenwich, pretty nice! I had a friend who grew up "poor" in Greenwich, and it was super nice. The public schools compare to a DC big 3, the public facilities are stellar , lots of college options, beyond safe, culture, greatest city in the US a short train ride away... there are lots of ways of "being" poor. I would say that was a good one. |
You are correct that what Nancy said was meaningless. |
The Republicans knew what was in the bill. It was essentially the same as what they had been reading and working on for months. |
You can struggle to live in a "better" area. I think most people understand that. I know people who lived in apartments - both parents working - in order to send their kids to 'better" schools in a safer 'hood. And yes, there are plenty of professionals- AOC's father being one - who still struggle. I'm assuming (haven't done the research) that he died young, which put a strain on the family, particularly the mother who becomes the sole breadwinner.
It's not rocket science, people, to understand this. But she's a kook. I'll give her props during the Cohen questioning, but she did have time to prepare for that - and researchers to help investigate. The Ds don't need super progressive dodos. They need someone more moderate who can attract those who are starting to stray or have already strayed. She's NOT in that camp. And if there were some unlawful actions surrounding PAC money and her boyfriend's "role," then she's toast. I would think people would rather "out" her now, during this Trump investigation, so that we can all move forward by cleaning up corruption. |
The bill includes some excellent and necessary reofrms to ensure free and fair elections. We can agree on about 1/3 of the bill. Don't believe me: check out the ACLU's letter on this. https://www.aclu.org/letter/aclu-letter-house-rules-committee-hr-1 |
1 out of the 5 committees of jurisdiction held hearings on it. I see it dying - sad because many provisions would have passed and enacted as a stand alone bill. Oh well. The Democrats theme after all: Roll 'em, Baby. |
What she did with the boyfriend is ILLEGAL. They may be going to lockup. |
True, but what she said was stupid and meaningless. |
And how long must we wait before they scrutinize this incident to the possible point of prosecution? |
Sleeping with AOC gets you a better job woo hoo. |
short-lived, however |
