Hmm.. doesn't seem logical to give away the means of production as a "defense" strategy. Isn't it perhaps more reflecting the type of economy we had post WOII and we have now, with especially Germany being prohibited in creating war machines?



haha lol, at least there is a candy market for it

Democratic Hopeful when she comes of age railing against a huge influx of jobs/money/tax rev.

SAD.

Alexandria "I solved healthcare by doubling the budget, but i can't answer how to raise taxes that much because i'm not a budget expert" Ocasio-Cortez strikes again.

she's going to be googly-eyed and screaming for taxes until she gets fucked off to the CNN mid day panel where she belongs.

Her interviews are fucking insane. She literally cannot answer a single legitimate question and even her hosts are baffled. They handle her with kid gloves and she still fucks everything up.

The apathy with which she response "taxes will pay for it" as an end-all-be-all solutions is really jarring. and at the same time i'm thankful she's not more articulate and not more pragmatic, with her combination of passable attractive woman (while wearing reflective sunglasses) and last name/minority status could have been an electoral nightmare. we watched insane numbers of blacks crawl out of hiding for Obama, who knows what happens in the rust belt with a latino on the ticket.

last night i heard Michel Che call Beto O'Rourke "a good looking guy", i'd cast that fucker as Splinter in a live action TMNT movie.

It's a popularity contest with dems because of what the media can do for them. She's the media darling right now, and she comes off as nearly illiterate. She gets the pass because she's young, attractive, and has a favorable last name - you nailed it.

I think her popularity will be a good thing for Republicans in the long run, as (i hope) sane people will see right through her as an airhead who plans to fix the country's problems with pixie dust and "Tax Money".

while i tend to agree that her being put on a pedestal is good for the GOP, especially in a national electorate sense, i've seen whackier people make lifetime positions out of her kind of out of touch with reality general platform. sometimes they even make it to leadership in the house. it's weird how someone like her can fester in a house district but also be unelectable in senate or especially potus.

She fits her constituents right now. That's why they voted for her over the old white racist (Wait he was a democrat, nvm) guy. I'm amazed she was elected, but i'm also not amazed at the same time - people had to have picked her based on appearance alone. She has as much substance as fender when he forgets to take his medication.

ya if she was from WA or CA i'd be shocked only if she lost. i'm used to seeing plain vanilla NY candidates, but tbh the only new yorkers that come to mind are all senators.

We'll see who's laughing ten years down the road
