I’ve never seen as much bipartisan agreement over something as I do with this whole GameStop/Robinhood fiasco. It’s beautiful.

I of course have no knowledge of whether AOC was lying for political gain.... but once the security of the Capitol is breached, the security of the connected office buildings is as well. It would be extremely reasonable to be in fear of your life if you were AOC and saw the Capitol being overrun, even if you were behind your locked office door.

I really don't believe most if any of the elected representatives were at risk. Should be a good lesson for them though for the next time they let some protest group they agree with have a riot but don't do anything but let a few hundred cops stand there and do nothing in front of thousands attacking and abusing them. Maybe they might have a little more empathy for the cops now. Naw that will never happen.

It is just like Hillary saying she was under sniper fire when she wasn't.

And remember, AOC was afraid of a garbage disposal because they are uncommon in NYC so she grew up never seeing one.

Do you think if the insurrectionist mob had found AOC that day, would they have murdered her?

Simple yes or no answer will suffice.

Wife and I had same discussion about Pence. I said 'no', and I'd say 'no' about AOC. Meaning I think there is a less than 50% chance it would have happened. But there is certainly a chance. It is easier to buy the knife than it is to actually slice someone's neck. Happily, we will never know. As i said earlier, it was TOTALLY reasonable for her to be in fear of her life.
