Are people starting to understand that politics is THEATER?

Nothing more, nothing less.

She is only saying her LINES.

Will she become 'anti illegals' because they eat so many beans and that methane is contributing to global warming? Perhaps mandate they wear methane capturing diapers to recycle the gas.

Sandy Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Calls for End to Air Travel — Build Trains Over the Oceans -Duh.
It is very difficult for me to determine what is real and what isn't these days.

On another thread, I took a link seriously which was, supposedly, a joke.

I hope that this applies to the above link, as well.

Perhaps FAKE NEWS is real, after all -- or is it? I honestly don't know what is truth any more when it comes to news links. In short, "I'm a little muddled."

No, it's because her numeracy is limited to the number of fingers she has. I don't think she's smart enough to have thought of using her toes, too.

I have to read more on this issue but when the extreme right bash AOC and other Democrats on policy, they hold no credibility on the subject. They have not come up with anything on healthcare, gun, immigration reform, protecting preexisting conditions, a tax plan that benefits the middle class, veterans issues, climate change etc. Farmers are filing BK and manufacturing jobs are at risk despise what this administration claims.

Here is what she said on NPR about paying for it:

Quote:
Whenever Democrats offer a major policy proposal, the immediate response from both Republicans and journalists is “How will you pay for it?” Ocasio-Cortez was asked that question in an interview that aired on NPR on Thursday morning, and she was happy to say that yes, government is going to spend money on these projects:

We have tried their approach for 40 years. For 40 years, we tried to let the private sector take care of it. The said “We got this. We can do this. The forces of the market are going to force us to innovate.” Except for the fact that there’s a little thing in economics called externalities. And what means is that a corporation can dump pollution in the river and they don’t have to pay for it, and taxpayers have to pay for cleaning up our air, cleaning up our water, and saving the planet. And so we’ve already been paying the costs, except we have not been getting any of the benefit. And so what we’re here to say is that government is not just for cleaning up other people’s mess, but it’s also for building solutions in places where the private sector will not.
This is an important factor among others to consider why the GOP oppose it:
Quote:
You can see why this would make Republicans nervous, beyond the fact that they don’t particularly care about climate change and don’t like government to do much of anything affirmative. They have managed to shape the debate on government spending in an extraordinary way, in that the things they want to spend money on, like tax breaks for the wealthy or wars or enormous military budgets, are almost never questioned in the same way.

Yep, we all admit we have a problem. Her name is Ocasio Cortez. The socialist bimbo needs to go back to her old job. I'm sure she was good at waiting tables (maybe?).

This is a brilliant plan to save billions of dollars of military spending. No planes = no Air Force.

Of course Fancy Nancy will slap AOC down fast. No one but no one takes away Nancy's free flights on military planes.

Does the WashingtonPoo have a death wish? By supporting AOC they will be destroying their boss's cash cow, Amazon, which depends on cargo planes to deliver things they sell. Oops!

I wonder the same thing about Individual 1, Russia, NRA and the National Enquirer.
