So now Coumo is begging Bezos to return to the bargaining table for Amazon's new plant.

But there is one huge problem, he didn't run it by Ocasio-Cortez first for her approval. After all, she has become the titular head of the democrat party, you doubt me? Just ask her, or any of her subordinates w/in the House of Representatives.
And now AOC is making a list, taking down names of all the "moderate" democrats in both the H of R, and the senate, for not towing the line, for not being down for the progressive/socialist struggle. She's actually got them both scared and pissed, 2020 is going to be fun, she's the best thing that has ever happened to the republicans. |

Fury: Liberals and Moderates Rage at Each Other at Closed-Door Meeting of House Democrats
3-1-19
Earlier this week, House Republicans scored a second surprise victory on a 'motion to recommit,' one of the lower chamber minority's few procedural tactics. During a legislative battle over gun control legislation, more than two dozen Democrats backed a GOP proposal to require that ICE be notified whenever an illegal immigrant is flagged attempting to purchase a firearm.
Republicans succeeded in another MTR gambit several weeks ago, adding language condemning anti-semitism to a foreign policy vote, a move clearly designed to isolate and shame Rep. Ilhan Omar. Following these losses, Democratic leadership is reeling, leading to a fiery closed-door party meeting, during which various factions of the party reportedly sniped at each other:
House Democrats exploded in recriminations Thursday over moderates bucking the party, with liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatening to put those voting with Republicans “on a list” for a primary challenge. In a closed-door session, a frustrated Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at about two dozen moderates and pressured them to get on board. “We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision,” Pelosi said, according to two people present but not authorized to discuss the remarks publicly. But Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election. Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said she told her colleagues that Democrats who side with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.”
Moderate-leaning Democrats did not take kindly to such threats, reminding more left-wing members that the new majority was built by freshmen who were able to win purple and even red-tinted districts:
They insist they are not going to be dissuaded from voting with their districts, and many are warning that majority control is at stake...Inside the Democratic meeting, one of those freshmen — Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (N.M.) — reacted sharply to Ocasio-Cortez’s comments and rose to urge her colleagues to respect the political reality of representing a swing district, according to multiple people present. A spokesman for Torres Small did not respond to a request for comment.
According to reports, Speaker Pelosi lashed out at wayward members, demanding that they stop voting with Republicans on procedural motions -- even musing about the party withholding campaign assistance to those who aren't sufficiently loyal to the team. House leadership is now debating whether to avoid these internecine fights moving forward by changing the rules in such a way that limits MTR's effectiveness as a tactic.
for the rest ~

Yeah, go ahead change the rules again, move the goal posts, if it's not working out, it's not your fault, it's the rules fault.
Another lame hissy fit, thanks AOC, you're awesome, you even have Pelosi taking ques from you. |

All this talk of genital mutilation. I thought the image might be useful for some to visualize the issue better.
As for useful..... Tell me, do you think anything you've ever posted on here has made any sort of change in the grand scheme of things? Stick to helping out at the school where you might actually do something useful. _________________ The universe is made up of proton, neutrons, electrons, and morons. |
