AOC is on fire! Totally scorching Mitch McConnell!

1. He's busy counting his rubles

[rzemanfl]

2. In the mens' room. n/t

[The Genealogist]

5. Male senator in the restroom immediately reminded me of Toe Tappin' Larry Craig

off topic, but that is what came to mind.

[kag]

39. Off topic is ok with me when it's that funny!

And back on topic...

I wasn't sure if I would like AOC, but I definitely do. She gets it. And she's unashamed of her youth and energy and gender.

[The Mouth]

48. She knows how to fight in this modern environment

I think a lot of politicians - including many I deeply respect and agree with, are like the WW1 generals still fighting the Napoleonic wars.

One *quick* deadly tweet is better (more effective) , in 2019, than the kind of calm, measured response our previous leaders did so well. President Obama and Secretary Clinton took hours, even days, to respond to an attack; that doesn't work any more. Trump won - as much as anything - by dominating the news cycle and staying on the attack: somebody would say something bad (true) about him and within minutes he has a response. It might not make sense, it might be a blatant lie, but it regained the tempo and seized the initiative, which was/is more important. AOC fights that way, too.

[The Wizard]

56. Using the social media

to manipulate the corporate media works.

[rzemanfl]

41. I almost completely forgot about old "wide stance." LOL

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

36. Most of his fortune is in Chinese Yuan, I think.

Our Secretary of Transportation is the richer of the pair of sino/soviet assets.

4. It's spelled Russell.

AOC, nice tweet. But proofread your tweets. Don't give the Republicans a gift.

[Roland99]

7. Like they'll notice that?? You give them way too much credit

Esp over a non-item

[demmiblue]

8. It's not like it is equivalent to hamberders.

Picking nits, imo.

[kag]

42. Still, it's not as if the magats would let it go.

They're already trying to paint her as stupid and "disrespectful," so best not give them even the tiniest bit of ammunition. They are hypocrites and have no shame, so no matter how many times the magat-in-chief misspells his own wife's name, or falls asleep while typing on the toilet, they will point to this one tweet as equivalent and will pardon him and themselves for their towering ignorance.

[kstewart33]

46. Exactly, kag.

Anything she does or says, however teeny tiny, the Repubs will use one way or another. Thanks.

[lastlib]

44. It's OK. She just gave McTurdle 'L'.

[cwydro]

6. Good for her!

I hope he sees it.

I cringed a bit at the misspelling in the tweet though.

[Woodycall]

9. Good for her....

..and I love her, but I kind a fear for her too. There are a lot of good ol' boys (and girls) that have been there for a long, long time (too long?) that are getting the "red ass" from her and will be there, "waiting in the tall grass" as they say, looking to fuck her up at the first sign of a stumble. Remember Al Frankin!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. we need to be ready when they try to ambush her

She's -our- firebrand, not theirs. When they attack her, we will need to shield her.

[RandiFan1290]

28. They found a missing 'L'

It's already begun

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. does covfefe or hamberder need an 'L'?

They'll screw up just like the $10 million being halfway to the wall.

[lastlib]

45. (just giving McTurdle a little 'L'.........)

[bdamomma]

10. Lawrence O'Donnell

is talking about this now!!!

[zentrum]

11. She is fantastic.

[Takket]

12. she is taking no prisoners and I LOVE IT

finally someone calling the scumbags out! Where's Mitch is trending on twitter because of her!!!!!

[Scarsdale]

35. McConnell is likely

hiding behind his pit bull "wife" She seems to wear the pants in that family.

[Ohioboy]

13. She's on a Mitch hunt

[MontanaMama]

15. Thread winner!

“Mitch Hunt”.

I’m so stealing this.

[Roland99]

22. Nice one!

[malaise]

23. DUzy

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. that should 'go viral'!

Or whatever it's called.

Everybody should go on a Mitch hunt!

[Kurt V.]

33. boom

[MontanaMama]

14. Isn't she something?

Something so simple yet very effective.

[Liberalhammer]

16. Masterful use of social media

I dont think the traitors, without the help Russia, can best her.

[watoos]

18. well said.

[murielm99]

19. Is her spell check on fire, too?

[retread]

30. After passing 5 different spell checkers I googled Russel and returned this from Wikipedia:

"Russel is an alternate spelling of Russell."

[murielm99]

50. That's not an excuse.

If she is in Washington and does not know how to spell the Russell Senate Office building, or does not know how to proofread her tweets, she is not all that wonderful.

I am far more impressed with the letter our Speaker of the House sent to Trump regarding the SOTU.

Is all this breathless, giddy praise of a freshman legislator who has not done anything yet designed to detract from Speaker Pelosi's masterful move? I hope not.

[hueymahl]

51. You are Hillarious!

[questionseverything]

54. both pelosi and the freshman legislators goal is the same...to force mcturtle to vote and reopen the

govt

isn't that everyone's goal here at du?

[iluvtennis]

20. I'm loving me some AOC - you go girl. nt

[demmiblue]

21. #WheresMitch is trending on Twitter.

[a kennedy]

25. Thought this was interesting.....and I know it's from the Rasmussen Report.....but

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the 2020 presidential race was between Trump and Ocasio-Cortez, 43% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Trump, while 40% would vote for Ocasio-Cortez. A sizable 17% are undecided.

[zipplewrath]

31. Too young

Don't ask me, ask the Constitution of the United States of America.

[a kennedy]

32. Yah, I know she's too young........just thought it was interesting she received such a high number..

[klook]

34. 35% picked "Ham Sandwich" as their second choice.

Still, though, she has a bright future. This is very effective messaging.

[Achilleaze]

27. republican #MoscowMitch is AWOL from responsibility to America

How republican is that?

[panader0]

37. She is going to drive the repubs crazy. Crazier.

[MLAA]

38. You go woman!

[lame54]

40. So, we're looking for a turtle with a red and white striped shell

[Hassler]

43. A New Dr. Seuss book, "Where's Mitch?"

[Catch2.2]

47. Go AOC!!!

Every day I like her more and more!

[Vinca]

49. Depositing rubles in his bank account?

[David__77]

52. I like her!

She can play an important role in building and maintaining progressive unity.

[CaptYossarian]

53. Seeing as how he's a Repub, she should check his closet.

[TheCowsCameHome]

55. Did anyone check the hind end of his shell?

It's hard to tell which is the front end.
