aztek Posted May 13, 2019 #701 Share Posted May 13, 2019 her staff gets a benefit of 3 month paid maternal\paternal leave, that 1 thing i agree with her, if she can make it statewide, that would be great, i would still be great if fathers got just 1 mo. paid off, i think she needs to put all her effort into that, and maybe in a decade or 2 people will forget all the dumb thing she said.

Not all of their ideas are great, but they have not settled into their own rich lobbyist provided nests yet. One term limits for everybody. Dumb ideas won't get very far but at least new ideas will pop up. Who is it that mostly sits back and scoffs at AOC and any other newbie? Those who are entrenched, have a river of campaign contributions coming in and don't want anything to change. After three or four terms, Congresspeople represent themselves more than their constituents in most cases. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it might be argued that the Donald was not new to the system, he was a supplier to the lobby-money- pipeline before, now he can reap the rewards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say three terms - one term to settle in, one to be the status quo and one to decide to go out in a blaze of “remember me!” glory by fighting for one or two specific and important to them subjects. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian hacktorp Posted May 31, 2019 #709 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Finally, an AOC scandal we can all get behind: Is AOC A White Supremacist? Quote For the safety of young impressionable non-liberals, we have blurred the image to protect the innocent from being drawn into her apparently spiteful ways... As Ashley St.Clair asked, clearly a worried Twitter member, "Why did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flash a white power symbol on her livestream last night" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-30/aoc-white-supremacist Edited May 31, 2019 by hacktorp 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted June 4, 2019 #711 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I believe the OK gesture is a F-You gesture in Germany. They told us not to use it when I was in the army. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_gesture Apparently the White Supremacist thing started as a 4Chan joke post, but the actual white supremacists actually have adopted it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
