How so? These people rise money. This is one way they do it. It’s not like she is running an Etsy to get her art out there. The goods are overpriced bc they are more a gift for your donation more anything.Quote:

Most Republicans and many Democrats don’t have to worry about that accusation — they created and sustain the very system, so when they take advantage of it, it’s no big deal.
EDIT: And Ewing’s point is an excellent one in this context.

Umm. Maybe you were born yesterday, but I’m gonna clue you in here: just about all politicians are acting (none more effectively than the most recent president — some people actually think he is a Christian. LOL)Quote:

But AOC needs to buck up. This might play well with Oprah's crowd. Oh, she is so caring. I whether see some ice-cold, steely determinating in her eyes to correct this problem. She has been off her game since Biden came into office.
Ready for this? Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is an inexperienced, rookie congresswomen who has some decent ideas but whom the media and the rest of us somehow have annointed as the future of the progressive movement.Quote:

Please don't get me wrong. I criticize and hope she does better. She cried voting for the Isreal defense fund. That is two times. One more time I am thinking it is a trait. So she needs to buck up. Can you see her opponent playing off these incidents to their advantage? Strong imagery is needed to be a leader. Save the tears for the wakes and honoring those who have fallen.Quote:

I love Katie Porter.
AOC lying again?

AOC Claims Brett Kavanaugh Still Credibly Accused Of Sexual Assault By Multiple Women With Corroborated Details. That’s Not True.
Quote:
The most prominent accusation has come from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who claimed on Twitter that Justice Brett Kavanaugh “*still* remains credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple accounts w/ corroborated details & this year the FBI admitted it never fully investigated.”
The FBI didn’t investigate every claim because there was no basis for any of them, but for argument’s sake, let’s take a look at each of the main accusations against Kavanaugh – again – and how they lack credibility and corroboration.
more in the link, but none of them were credible.
Like MGT, AOC needs not to be commented upon really. Too rare for anything sane/true to come out of either.
That is why I brought those below average cookies from the girl scouts.Quote:
