This is going to be so great. Brain
trust Olivia Cortez (or whatever her
name is) says 'We have to win all
3 chambers of congress, er, gov't,
in 2020'. Lol. what a moron, she
doesn't even know the correct
names for the branches of gov't
she just got elected to. But she
was a part time bartender for
awhile, she reached the Peter
Principal then and didn't know it.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when after orientation the leadership calls her in, hands her a list, and points at a phone, telling her she has to raise "x" for the party if she wants to get on a committee or get a bill introduced. Little girl getting thrown to the deep end of the real world.

I've said before, I knew a one term
congressman about 20 years ago.
He says when you're new, you're
at the bottom of the bottom. You
have no power, you have no say,
you have no friends, you have no
knowledge of how this big club
works.

It takes a couple 2 year terms for
you to even get a foothold. He
said screw it, not worth his time.
For your colleagues to even notice
you're there you have to be
reelected at least twice. Mostly
they'll be telling Cortez to shut
up, or they'll shun her.

It's like a fraternity house, the
freshmen are dog crap on the
bottom of your shoe. In fact,
they're called freshmen. But Cortez
is too stupid to keep her mouth
shut, she'll hang herself with that'
big mouth of hers.

Knew a state rep who won by a landslide. He went to the capitol [Juneau] and came home after about 6 weeks, and said screw it to friends and supporters. He said, you all elected me to get something done, and I can't, no one can.

That's almost word for word what the
guy I know said. He had all kinds of
great ideas that he could get nobody
to listen to. First you pay your dues
by getting reelected a few times, and
it shows the rest of them you'll be
there for awhile.

Cortez thinks she's going to tear it up
right away, you can tell by the way
she talks. I guarantee both sides are
laughing at her behind her back. Making
fun of her, like seniors make fun of
freshmen in a dorm.

If I was elected I would tell the guy giving me a fundraising goal to KO. Then just show for votes that were for something important. Miss silly procedural votes. Eat at the congress mess. Clean up at the gym. Sleep in my office. Help constituents out if they call. Just collect a paycheck. Ignore the sillyness. Wait it out until my vote was vital, then try for what I wanted to get done.

Silly kids think they can make a difference.

What kind of lame-ass senior still lives in a dorm?

Trump demanding minimum wages ($15 an hour) for certain jobs in Mexico was one of the central tenants of the new agreement. The purpose of that was to drive up the costs of Mexican production, thereby making US production a little more competitive. Are you morally opposed to that, as well?

Yes, I am.

I do not believe any Dem will tell her to shut up. I think they will all use her to show the differences between her and them; that they see her points but they are more 'mainstream'. I do not see a single Dem criticizing her.

She is female and brown. No Democrat will dare criticize her for anything, ever.

I like her because she is clearly an expert at driving the righties insane. They can’t shut up about her. And she’s not afraid to punch back. Look at her Twitter, she’s great at shutting down all the dumbasses that attack her.
