1. Smart young woman there...

[leftieNanner]

3. I hope I'm still around

In order to vote for her to attain higher office.

[Artcatt]

13. AOC is smart, irrespective of her age or gender.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Are you going to chastise everybody in this thread that refers to her age or gender, or just me?

I'd hate to think I'm special or something.

[LuvLoogie]

31. Heh.

[BComplex]

2. I REALLY love this woman! She's serious about making government work for the people.

I totally support that!

[gratuitous]

4. As scary as Katie Porter and her white board

To an unprepared witness. And she's right; there are no alternative proposals from Republicans, just a lot of griping about the border, and proposed cuts to the Border Service budget. Oh, and an ongoing desire to shoot blindly into Mexico just because.

[Mr. Evil]

37. I would actually love to see a day

where there is a presidential ticket of KP and AOC. Or at the very least have them eventually become powerful senators. The sooner the better!

They just rule.

5. The rethugs have no solution for anything

What a useless political party. All they do is obstruct and criticize. I sure hope we see a blue wave next election, the rethugs just need to go away.

[calimary]

29. But they do make our people look even smarter.

No comparison, really.

[czarjak]

39. Tax reform. Promises made. Promises kept.

The rich are getting theirs. By design.

[brush]

6. Excellent. Woohoo.

[Arazi]

7. She's a huge part of the future

We have a huge pool of talented young women - Jayapal, Underwood, AOC.

Dems have a deep bench in Congress (and out with governors like Gretchen Whitmer)

[ShazzieB]

28. Yes, those are 3 brilliant women, no question!

Not all young (Underwood and AOC are 36 and 33, respectively, and Pramila Jayapal is 58, although she's only been in Congress a couple of years younger than the other 2) but smart, savvy, and dedicated. I am thrilled to have all of them on our side!

[CrispyQ]

8. That was beautiful!

Here's rep Mike Johnson kicking butt, too!

9. AOC

definitely is an excellent communicator. Appreciate her style.

[PhylliPretzel]

10. If the Repugs helped to solve the immigration problem,

they would lose a campaign platform to enrage the bigots! They can't have that.

[padah513]

22. That's it exactly.

[Raven123]

11. Thanks for posting. Hope all of out Dem elected leaders take a lesson on how to fight on this

[AnrothElf]

12. "Link to tweet" LOL

I wonder what she said?

[Bettie]

19. If you click on the play button on the image

it will just play without taking you to twitter, it did for me.

[AnrothElf]

27. I block Twitter, so the OP just says "Link to tweet"

[YoshidaYui]

14. PREACH

[llmart]

15. Wow! That's impressive.

She's impressive. I just love this young woman. She is the real deal. She's an up and coming Nancy Pelosi.

[whathehell]

17. Damn, she's great!

[spooky3]

18. Smart and courageous. Nt

[PurgedVoter]

20. The Republican side doesn't want any solutions.

There is no free compassion available from the Republican side. Not even for votes, for votes they are willing to let their own die of covid. Since their base votes on hate and their money comes in with disaster, a solution would be the farthest thing from what they want. They were happy with children separated from their parents and kept in cages.

Bless AOC for continuing to expose this, but one should not expect a single Republican to do the right thing without being paid to do the right thing. For them, kindness and mercy for free, sends the wrong message.

[NoMoreRepugs]

21. AOC is an outstanding legislator. Her passion for what is right and just is inspiring.

[sellitman]

43. Bravo!! What you said!!!!

[republianmushroom]

23. Republicans have very few solutions for anything.

[summer_in_TX]

24. Love her righteous passion!

I would not like to be on the receiving end of such remarks.

[Sky Jewels]

25. I wish we could make hundreds of AOC clones and have

an almost all-AOC Congress.

[rubbersole]

26. Snap.

Lauren? Your turn.

30. Canada has welcomed immigrants in record shattering numbers, mainly from Asia and Africa..

The massive input of skilled, unskilled, professional, business etc. People has resulted in an equally impressive long term Reduction in the unemployment rate…

Canada is providing thriving democracies with so many lessons, left side policy lessons at actual real world work …and proven to be working for the People…Canadian mass media is mostly equally unimpressed with this successful large scale economic experiment … too many not Europeans…can’t see any other reason for the personalized anti-Trudeau mania thats taken grip.

[mopinko]

34. the rw noise machine is everywhere.

the daily wailing and gnashing of teeth in ireland is sad af. at least a couple times a week dublin airport trends on xitter. usually loud mouth blockheads acting up. have a hard time wrapping my head around the irish complaining about immigrants.
but they’re being bombarded w hateful bullshit.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

35. Racism and self loathing must be closely related, same sad mindset.

Should be considered a treatable mental illness.

[mopinko]

38. if someone came up w a pill to treat it, it wd b.

ya know, i heard an author on fresh air a long time ago, several yrs. he was a neurologist making the case that law needs to catch up w science. that there are many things that override reason, not just the couple axis 1’s that count in court.
so many flavors of ‘nuts’ than the 1s the shrinks dx.

1 of his examples was a woman who was put on prednisone, became a compulsive gambler, spent all the money then ran up credit cards. ruined her marriage, went bankrupt.
this is a KNOWN side effect- loss of impulse control. sometimes rage, sometimes other risky behavior.
should have been able to plead diminished capacity, but couldnt.
that starts happening and maybe docs r a little more careful.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

46. Pills with side effects that create rage may also cause self loathing and racism is a consequence!?

These pills should be reevaluated with new criteria.

[malaise]

32. Love her

Rec

[struggle4progress]

33. !

[NNadir]

36. There are some things from her with which I disagree, but I would gladly vote for her in any high...

...office she may seek in the future.

It's the only case in which I wish I were in NY rather than in NJ.

This woman will go far.

[burrowowl]

40. Love AOC!

[SpankMe]

41. I hope she stays on

I hope like heck she doesn't get tired of all the Washington BS and quit her service to the country. She's a crown jewel for Dems in congress.

[Celerity]

42. If Trump wins in 2024, I fear for her life even more than I do now.

[enigmania]

44. Love her!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

45. She is awesome!

More Dems like her, less like Joe Manchin!
