I'd bet $10 that the AOC picture is an AI generated fake since it exists nowhere but on a bunch of pervy republican meathead twitter posts.

Add this to the long list of things Mich doesn't, and will never know.

At the time she was the youngest person ever elected to congress. (Might still be, I don't know). I love that AOC scares the shit out of the fascists, because she represents people they struggle with and are afraid of - young people, women, and people of color, while making Dems look fun, and cool.

A day before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was officially sworn-in, 2010 footage of the congresswoman dancing as a student at Boston University re-emerged on Twitter, apparently in an effort to embarrass her.

Unembarrassed, Ms Ocasio-Cortez posted a new video of her dancing outside her new office in the halls of Congress.




She danced? SHE DANCED!?!? Take her before the elders and let her be put to death, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

It’s amazing to me that so many old white dudes - always - think they can get the best of her on social media. Not happening. You’re playing Wordle, she’s playing the Sunday NYT Crossword.

You have a daughter? A granddaughter?

Would you be cool with people not just objectifying her, but fabricating objectifying content?

Do you know what deepfakes are? Do you know how easy it is for keyboard warriors to more or less make blackmail material that will haunt your loved ones for life?

It's all fun and games - look at the knockers on THAT one, lol hand me a Yuengling - but it speaks to a pretty rotten way of looking at women.

Giggle.

This is the Covid equivalent of “Biden’s border crisis: arrests and seizures at an all-time high.”

Who, pray tell, was in charge of the Covid relief funds and where they went?

Biden's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was made Czar of pandemic supplies and cut many corrupt insider deals. Wait . .

More evidence that things like homelessness are systemic failures, more so than individual ones?

Either way, I don’t think the solution is in the landlords thread

This is for republicans, who are nothing if not obsessed, i.e., scared shitless, of AOC:


Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez takes Vogue through her beauty routine, from bold, bright lipstick to the unexpected makeup move that’s proved an instant mood booster.

Isn’t this…up to the voters in her district? Seems fairly straightforward.

I would guess - and this isn’t intended to be critical of Randy at all - that Randy, like most of the MAGA set, knows of Reagan on a basis that is closer to apocryphal than reality-based.

Very few, if any, folks here reading this have ANY BASIS WHATSOEVER for saying whether she is good or not good for the people of her district.

The people of her district have weighed in on that before, and will - apparently - again.

This isn’t complicated.
