The Traumatic Trifecta – Trump’s Greatest Asset
Donald Trump couldn’t ask for any greater assistance than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Muslim stablemates (Ilhan Abdullahi Omar and Rashida Tlaib) are providing. These three dingbats are creating total chaos in the Democratic Party, attacking fellow Democrats and alienating voters in ways that go beyond the President’s wildest dreams.
Even Nancy Pelosi is scared sh!tless of these three. She is afraid to rebuke them regardless of what they do or say for fear of being labeled a bigot by those to her left. Yes, today’s Democratic Party is so extreme that there are even nuts to the left of San Fran Nan.
In one of her latest moves Ocasio-Cortez went off on Slow Joe Biden, accusing him of being soft on climate change, global warming or whatever they’re calling it this week. Remember, we have less than 12 years. Oops, forgot that was “dry humor,” whatever that is.
Biden shot back at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
“I’ve never been middle of the road on the environment,” he told reporters. “Tell her to check the statements that I made, and look at my record and she’ll find that nobody has been more consistent about taking on the environment and a Green Revolution then I have.” Biden said he’s been talking about climate change since 1987.
He added, “I don’t think she was talking about me.”Ocasio-Cortez made her comments as the closing speaker at at a rally in Washington, D.C., marking the final stop on a “Road to a Green New Deal Tour,” co-headlined by one of Biden’s rivals, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
She attacked what a recent Reuters report characterized as a “middle ground approach” that Biden is working on as an alternative to Ocasio-Cortez’s proposed Green New Deal.
Biden has not publicly released a climate change proposal. However, according to the Reuters report, Biden is currently drafting climate change policy that “will appeal to both environmentalists and the blue-collar voters who elected Donald Trump.” The plan will reportedly focus on initiatives such a re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement and “regulations on emissions and vehicle fuel efficiency.” He has said he will reveal his plan in a speech later this month.
The freshman Democrat criticized “conservatives on both sides of the aisle” who have not signed on to support the Green New Deal bill.
Although she never mentioned him by name, Ocasio-Cortez’ reference to “politicians who refused to act back then” appeared aimed at Biden when she spoke about the inaction of Congress following the 1989 history-making testimony of James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Biden was in the Senate when Hansen told Senate lawmakers that global warming was real, already happening and posed a serious threat.
These latest criticism by Ocasio-Cortez followed a tweet she posted Friday in which she called Biden’s reported climate change proposal a “dealbreaker.”
“This is a dealbreaker. There is no ‘middle ground’ w/ climate denial & delay,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Blaming ‘blue collar’ Americans as the main opponents to bold climate policy is gas lobbyist 101,” she added. “We’re not going to solve the climate crisis w/ this lack of leadership. Our kids’ lives are at stake.”

Currently, six of the 2020 presidential candidates have co-sponsored the Green New Deal including Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar.

I’m a proud denier.
I have kids.
AOC doesn’t have kids, I believe. And she’s poorly educated and not an independent thinker. Still, she’s been elected to Congress and I haven’t LOL.
Here’s the former GreenPeace guy (the one who earned degrees in science) talking about CO2 and how the AGW fearmongers are wrong.

If this is what the “moderate” Dem challenger believes, is it time to buy more ammo?
New Hampshire voter to Joe Biden: “I have a very severe case of what’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome… He won it because he had help by the Russians… I don’t want to live in a country run by Vladimir Putin. He is an illegitimate president”
Biden: “I absolutely agree”

Slow Joe has so many things that can be used against him like a statement he once made about Iowa schools – that they were better than DC schools because DC schools had blacks.
That’s probably a true statement, but so politically incorrect.

Alexandria Occasional cuntex is her name,
Cunnilingus through a picket fence is her game,
Don’t get bitten by this mini marxist bitch,
Lest ye soon be taken across the river styx,
May a stake through her heart be her last refrain.

Beto begins relaunch of campaign by apologizing for everything:
https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/15/angry-mob-controls-democrats/
Earth to Beto: You are privileged because you were born into a wealthy, powerful family and married a billionaire’s only child, not because you’re a white male. 98%-99% of white males (like my son, who waited on tables at Outback for five years to pay for college) don’t enjoy any privilege.

BC,
Don’t know about Belmont but if AOC needs a job she could be a human powered wood chipper.😁

Wait!!! Didn’t she just say that the 12yrs till death was a joke??? She’s the joke.

In case you’re saying to yourself “there’s no F in Venezuela” , well yeah.
There’s no food either.

The Washington Compost had an article on an all-time record high in Russia along the Artic Circle.
But, they haven’t reported that this is the first time in 20 years that the temperature has failed to reach 80 degrees by May 15 in Michigan.

12,
What is worse is the rain/water. Most of the Mississippi and Missouri river flood plain still had standing water in it. Even if the water recedes now it will be 2-3 weeks before farmers could get a tractor on the fields. Corn drills don’t operate in muck. Lucky, mid june to be planting. October at the earliest to get a corn crop in and this provided there is not an early frost in places like the Midwest. Food prices are going to continue to worsen through out the summer.
Worse many farmers are calling it quits. The younger generation is not following up to take their place.

The Quad Cities (Davenport) River Bandits have had a lot of cancelled and postponed games because of the flooding. The team’s stadium is almost right on the Mississippi (not prudent, but some great views from the grandstand).

Got home early today. Charlies Angels is on ME TV. Great writing. Imagine how difficult it must have been to come up with a plot every week that would have Jacklyn Smith or Cheryl Ladd in a bikini or short shorts.

None of them beat Erin Gray from Buck Rogers.
Same station.

Erin Grey wore leggings before leggings were in style. Buck Rogers in on ME TV around 11 pm Saturdays.
Lots of cool things on ME TV. Right now it’s an ASPCA – save a pit bull … maim a child … kill a beagle – commercial.

When asked which Democrat he thought could take on Trump, Cuban said “nobody right now,” adding “If you look at why people voted for Donald Trump, in my opinion, first and foremost it was because he wasn’t a politician.”
So our futures are:
1/ billionaires, Trump, Cuban, Bezos, Buffet, et, al. Or,
2/ non-billionaire politicians, Pence, Biden, Harris, et. al.
God, somebody shoot me now.

Oh fellas, Kelly LeBroc was the ticket back in the day.

Prosecutor on the FISA mess has had previous dealings with both Mueller and Wiseman. Did not prosecute either one of them because it was not in the scope of his authority at the time.
Might get a chance to correct that error this second time around.

Looks like FCC is going to give the green light to Telcos to assist consumers in blocking robocalls.

A proposal on robocalls
https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/330645/
Under my proposal, any incoming calls from people not on my contact list wouldn’t go through unless the caller paid me something. Twenty-five cents would probably be enough to discourage phone spammers, who make huge numbers of (mostly futile) calls. (Though I’d be willing to go higher. Maybe I could charge phone-sex rates: I’d be willing to listen to most anything from anyone for $3.99 plus $1.99 a minute.)
Of course, hardly anyone would be willing to pay me that much, or even 25 cents, to receive a call. Which is the point. If it’s not worth a quarter for them to call me, why is it worth my time to pick up?
Give the phone companies a cut, and they’d get serious about addressing number-spoofing and other robocall tricks: There would be money on the line, and they’re nothing if not serious about revenue. (Plus, I’ll bet a cellular carrier who added this option to a plan would get a lot of subscribers
[25]
24,
Not bad idea. My only angst is I really don’t want to give out my contact list to stop robocalls. I would prefer that the carriers provide a #5455 or similar number to just tag inbound calls as blocked. It would also help if the carriers would not permit fake caller ID classing.
