The Examiner? I'd have to stay on an open line with them forever.


Sounds like she ain't the only one.


Well it was passed by Congress in 1947, and ratified by the states in 1951. So technically the Washington Examiner wasn't wrong.


But what was wrong was AOC's version of history.



I'm sure you knew that.

That's like saying Trump's emergency declaration was defeated by Congress, because both houses voted to overturn it.

And didn't overturn Trump's veto.

But I understand your reluctance to admit it.

The Equal Rights Amendment was "passed" by Congress in 1972. Is it part of the Constitution?

Of course AOC is wrong. She's a not-particularly-well-educated kid from Brooklyn. Dumb as most of the folk on this board, and every bit as convinced that her dimwitted concept of how things are is the word from the burning bush.

Your obsession with a small-time backbencher continues to be a real headscratcher for me.

She does appear to get a lot of press .

Like I said, she's a backbencher. One vote in 435. Less than 1/4 of 1% of the power in the House of Representatives.
The focus on her by old white guys (of either party) is just creepy.
Lightning rod .... misogyny. There should be a few thousand PhD theses in deconstructing 21st Century scared shitless White Guy behaviour (left half of that IQ distribution bell curve).

No, it isn't like that at all. Not in the slightest.


No obsession here. It's not even my thread. I find humor watching people flock to her defense each and every time. They amuse me as a clown would, they make me laugh, I find them funny. One needs to only throw up a post and they come foaming at the mouth and at a trot.


But at least we agree that she is dumb and dimwitted.

See!



BTW... T-Bones called her dumb and dimwitted... you mad?


*snicker*




Watch the sicko hammer away at the same little girl, night after night.


The post that keeps giving. An old white man calling a grown woman and a member of Congress a little girl. Yeah... that's misogyny... and kinda creepy.


I'm sure that Rosanne traded sexual favours at a hog-calling convention in exchange for her lofty position.


And yeah... this is misogyny too.

But the old and young white guys and gals in the press keep putting her front and center . The fact it takes the spotlight off other perhaps more worthy legislators belongs to the press not anonymous internet posters . From our local news coverage out here in lalaland there have been three rookie members that have received 100% of coverage with AOC receiving the lions share .

So true.


She is the face of the Democrat Party whether they like it or not. One vote she may be but she has completely replaced Pelosi. Pelosi is the Speaker of the House but she is merely a figure head at this time. The Democrat Establishment wants AOC to just shut up, the GOP wants her to remain on the center stage.

Look at the face of the Republica party ... a total mad man. Take him away and there's a line of jerkwater hillbillies a mile long to take his place.

Most of her critics are in her own party , but hey don’t let facts destroy a good meme .


They don't like to admit that. The fact of the matter is that she has become the de facto leader of the Democrat Party. Just like she has stated in an interview... "I'm the Boss." The press has 24/7 coverage on her. The Democrats are trying so hard to get her to be quiet because of her far left ideology and the bizarre things she says. In addition they are trying to get the GOP to stop pointing out the new far left swing the Democrats are being pulled by their nose by AOC. They are doing so by saying the GOP is obsessed with her.
