"Get used to me slaying": The Journal of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Page 108 - Politics and Economics

Or even more horrible, imagine a world where the teams who benefit from the unearned advantage of being in a big city have to share revenue with the teams who were unlucky to be in small markets. That sort of socialism would never survive. You just can't have the lucky subsidising the unlucky or the whole system will fall apart. Why would any team work to grow the revenue of the league if they have to give some of the extra away?

Kind of a letdown. Honestly, if you have to remind people why they should vaguely remember the guest you'be been hyping up, pick another guest.

I love how AOC handled this.

AOC was aware nobody actually knows AnaMaria.

By hyping her up, at minimum a bunch of people will google Ana Maria and be reminded how insufferable Flake was in the whole Kavanaugh ordeal.

It feels like overplaying (in GTO terms) a pair of 7s on a T high board knowing you’re good to extract maximum value.

I think it's a bigger troll that she's going there with Jared Kushner.

Seems to me like a better choice than Cardi B, who would have been funnier but as a celebrity is not really needing of recognition.

^^This....

As 57onred thinks Brendan Dassey & Steven Avery are guilty & also disputes actual court evidence, runs from the thread to come back and spew more nonsense I thought I'd post this here for him to see....
I mean even the Prosecutor told the jury the key was probably tainted.

Anyways there's the actual Cops account...

Innocent until proven guilty I guess is a pipe dream, tbh. You even mentioned you don't have the details... Oh my.
I'll be the 1st to admit that I was also wrong for supporting him If the allegations are true.

But we leave it here.

I hope she tweets to Trudeau soon. I got some hot takes on Canada that I think this thread would love to read.

Okay, let's get this back on track

“An Incredible Obama-Esque Factor”: How A.O.C. Won Over Her New House Colleagues

Quote:

After unnerving Washington with her Omaha Beach-like landing in Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as an unlikely unifying force for Democrats—and a surprisingly egoless champion of a new, progressive politics.
