One of my old Am Govt profs always told especially his TAs and his classes, that when you see a "dumb" US Representative, "remember that they were elected by a district of people just like them." Hank Johnson gets re-elected over and over. AOC is just as dumb and way more "with it" in the Tik-Tok Era.
She is even too dumb to suffer Dunning-Kruger.
And there is a reason for truly stupid US Reps, I think. They are generally cats-paws for the parties they represent. They are part of the MOB, plumped up and pushed forward for the benefit of unseen others.
Best takeaways: "The deadly fumes will leave you alone because they’ve seen your rental agreement."
And, this one I'm gonna need some help with - from Joe Biden, "Could my Dad drive a CAR! Oof!" - I'm not quite sure how one 'drives a CAR' with the emphasis on 'CAR'.
What I really hate about AOC is that she really represents the quality of the education young Americans get in hypothetically good universities. She apparently learned literally less than nothing in her double major areas. She's a walking, talking blivet.
I suspect that Biden isn't the only Dem who might say, "Oops! I just crapped my pants." Top level Dems must be really wondering which is worse, hanging in there with Dementia (and getting worse and GOP investigations coming that HAVE to get some coverage) Joe, or going with Kacklin' Kamala and watching the ensuing bloodbath, either internal or in the 2024 elections.
Can the Dems take another 18 months+ of Joe's increasingly obvious decline, or do they have to try to make a silk purse out of the Kamala sow's ear and watch the Party get torn apart internally. For Kamala already shows signs of refusing to accept 'direction/help' from the real pros and uses personnel from her own oblivious level. I can't imagine her not getting multiple serious challengers if she the POTUS candidate.
I've been thinking about this as we got closer to this milestone. I'm not sure why this number seems significant, appropriate for comment now but...
I am pretty sure that this is the Most Execrable, Incompetent Military Operational Failure in the History of Military Operational Failures. At a minimum, at least person should've been shamed and fired. Ideally, a bunch of them should be avoiding lampposts and bubbling tar.
Truman fired MacArthur, one of the heroes of the Pacific Theater of WW2 - could almost be said to have "won" that conflict - for basically vocally disagreeing on matters of strategy. He'd banked a lot of respect by We the Little People. It took some balls.
Holy Jeebus, how could no one, not one person have been fired? Or worse?
Honestly, I tried to watch Rick and Morty and just couldn't take it. I blamed it on my age. I thought I was just too old to get it. (I know a guy about 55 who still tries to get me to watch, and he's a full professor at a flagship state university.) I just couldn't stand it. But then I didn't like "Frasier" either. Maybe I'm just a bigot.

There is no such thing as Male Privilege or White Privilege, and I can prove it. But there most certainly is Hot Girl Privilege. Sugar-Tits AOC does fall on the hot girl spectrum, and I am absolutely certain she has gotten the Hot/Cute Girl Privilege pass in life since at least her high school days. That is the only explanation. There is absolutely no way a 300 pound version of AOC gets away with this shit. Say what you want about fat girls, that they love the buffet table, but they need to work extra hard to get thru life. And I'm not just talking about going up the stairs, I mean they need to put more mental energy into things in a way that cute girls can't.
I am absolutely certain the current tempest-in-a-teapot over gas stoves has nothing to do with kids allegedly getting the asthma, let alone dying. Our Leftists don't give one single shit about kids dying. Because if they did, they would care about the children dying everyday in The Congo, mining Cobalt for their precious EV's. I guarantee you this; more children die mining Cobalt in The Congo than all the children in the rest of the world from gas stoves.
No, this is all a way to back-door a ban on gas appliances in the name of the so-called "Climate Crisis." And we all know it. That's why The Left blamed The Right as soon as they finished throwing their temper tantrum.
If you wanna know why the "climate crisis" is really just the earth coming out of the most recent Ice Age... head on over to my Substack and read all about it! (/shameless plug)
And I'm glad Treacher cleaned up his act and is still around to write for us. Many, many years ago I had a horrible experience involving pain-killers and alcohol. Having survived it I decide I could do only one, so I chose alcohol. I rarely use any kind of medicine for pain, and I've lived so long I'm no longer even a moderate drinker. I had one beer last Friday, the first alcohol I've had in a month or so.
I don't remember quitting the painkillers (and I was in serious pain -- still am for that matter) being that hard, but it obviously is for too many people.
So I encourage and give props for all those who fight it the hard way. Including smokers. Hang in there, all of you who need support have mine.
The Democrat-Media Complex has really streamlined the process of "it's not happening" to "it's happening, and it's good that it's happening" from what used to take months of hemming and hawwing to just a few days now (sometimes even the same day)... now that's progress! As with the Biden thing, my expectations are extremely low that any real resistance will be offered, because every time we have an election where we could hold all these people accountable electorally, the American public is just too apathetic and unconcerned to do anything. They'll have to wait until life goes from merely miserably to downright intolerable before they vote any change.
At this point, are we certain there are any Americans left in Afghanistan? the Taliban is many things, but incompetent is not really one of them.
Is Frank Zappa wearing... black face?!?! This calls for some posthumous cancelling. (He also died in his early 50s.)
"Look at all those likes and retweets. What a successful congresswoman."
"And I can't deny the fact that you like me! Right now!"

Intellect. Dizzying. Truly.

Is it just me or does AOC's confident stupidity make her less pretty every year?

Any and all explanations will be considered.

The only thing missing from the BAN GAS STOVES YOU GUYS! debate is the NYT article about the racist, white supremacist history of natural gas.
I have the over/under on that dropping being mid-day tomorrow. Whatchagot?
