Commie Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Macarena-Hey-Macarena defeats 10 term Democratic incumbent
WSJ Writer Has Absolute Blast Shredding Ocasio-Cortez's Idiotic Green New Deal
Kimberly Strassel is the Potomac Watch columnist for the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and she has a nifty knack for cutting through all the BS and simply telling it like it is.
She did just that for her 200,000+ followers on Thursday after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic Socialist from New York, released a preposterous 10-year plan called the "Green New Deal" to do away with airplanes, eliminate "farting cows," end the use of fossil fuels, overhaul every building in America, and provide taxpayer cash even to those "unwilling" to work, among a slew of other absurd pies in the sky.
Strassel teed it all up by saying the document, written like a grade-school wish list, could have easily been a plant from wily Republicans. "By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried," Strassel wrote on Twitter. "If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful."

The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This isn't just AOC. Markey from MA is pushing this also. I wouldn't be surprised if it cam out of his office.

AOC is obviously too dumb and too busy to have been able to write up her Green New Deal herself. That means she has a few staffers who wrote it for her, reviewed it a few times, probably discussed it with AOC, did some more editing and then released it. A lot of Hill staffers, no matter their politics, are pretty sharp. The competition up there has Ivy Leaguers working in mail rooms for the opportunity to network and rub elbows with bigger folks. I highly doubt AOC has fresh college grads working for her. I need to do some LinkedIn searching and see where her staffers came from.

A "grade-school wish list"- that's a perfect decription of this bill. I went and found the 14 page PDF of it online and skimmed it myself. Y'know, if just writing down a bunch of words made them true, we'd all be kings.
Truly and without any exaggeration, all of this demonstrates naivety, ignorance and foolishness on the part of the Democrats, on a grand scale. This is no exaggeration whatsoever. It's incredibe- truly, incredible- to behold. This idiotic child is going to Pied Piper the Democratic party into an indefensible position. There is simply no way to implement the fantasies of Ms. Macarena, but the Democrats are getting on board with it. They should be mocked- publicly and endlessly. They have earned it.
American leftists are some of the most confused and irrational people on the planet. Again, this is no exaggeration. All one one has to do is observe and it becomes self-evident.

Ahhh, Mr. Markey, the white Hank Johnson. The cumulative IQ of Markey and AOC doesn't approach room temperature. Some of the GOP members who actually have a pair of [you know whats] need to step up to the microphone in front of a camera when asked and refer to AOC, Markey, and some of these other Dem's as total socialist morons completely detached from reality. No more playing nice.

Yeah, I'm with you, Mark. When I heard what people were saying was in this bill, I figured it must be exaggeration, but nope, it's real.

Ocasio-Cortez-Macarena-Hey-Macarena is proof that no matter how much you may think so at the time, your bartender can't solve all your problems.

For years Democrats have been jostling one another to get to the left of every other squishy Marxist. But they have been piddling around, elbowing one another a few inches at a time. Then along comes Alexandra! Health care? Free Medicare for all! College loans? Free college for everybody! Welfare programs? Free money to everybody who can't-- or doesn't want to-- work! Taxes? Tax the rich at 90%. Fossil fuels? No more fossil fuels!
They created this little Brainless Marxist Monster and now they don't know what to do about her.

This is what you do with her. You run audio and video of everything she says or does, and run all of it in political ads in 2020.

As I said earlier, lay this insanity at the doorstep of the entire Democratic Party NOW. Don’t wait for 2020 to roll around, start hanging the Cortez albatross around their collective necks. They will either be forced to support her or admit that they too see her as a childish crackpot and swat her down. Nancy P all but set the stage with her insult about the “green new deal” and leaving the little princess off of the climate change committee. And I see said princess fighting back with great enthusiasm. It would be a hell of a show.

Fake - this guy is from the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Known as alt-right and an internet troll based on some other sites. Look at the document number in top - 004 - the version released is 005. Another person like Alex Jones.
