Hoo-boy.

Cue the McRib sauce spittle and/or barking-mad tweetering.

In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the GOP’s bête noire du jour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called out Donald Trump in a big way.

Boom!

Ocasio-Cortez says that she has tried to keep her focus partly by avoiding watching Trump on television: “He relies and thrives on attention, and so the less attention he’s given, even if it’s just one set of eyeballs, the weaker he is.” She said that watching Trump in the House chamber at the State of the Union address made her feel “sick” and “underwhelmed.”

“He is such a small, mediocre person,” she told me. “I grew up with a real romanticism about America. I grew up in a first-generation household where your parents give up everything, and for me America was the greatest thing ever to exist. To be there on the floor of the House was beyond anything my parents would have ever dreamed of. But the person behind the podium was so unskilled. It was kind of sad.”

That's not gonna sit well with the big, bad haircut.............

1. She nailed it.

Perfect characterization.

[Power 2 the People]

18. +1

[Blue Owl]

2. Only a small, mediocre person would serve McDonald's at a celebratory function.

It's true.

[True Blue American]

30. You know

They have to be cold,Ugh!

[D_Master81]

3. What a demeaning comment to make by her

I know a lot of small, mediocre people that take offense to being lumped into the same category as him.

[ArnoldLayne]

19. Kick

[ismnotwasm]

4. Yup

Well said

[Dem2]

5. "mediocre"

I think this is worse than calling him a loser or a moron. Too funny.

[JI7]

7. yup, it's a form of the southern "bless your heart"

or whatever that saying is.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. Actually, "bless his heart" is a justifier for gossip in the South.

Like this: "You know, she has to wear two girdles, bless her heart".......

So, if AOC was southern, she might say: "Trump is such a small, mediocre person, bless his heart"......

That makes it OK with the preachers around here.......

[Aristus]

28. Sincere or snarky, I've always hated 'Bless your heart'. Growing up in the South,

you hear it everywhere!

My mother (Alabama, born and raised) is especially fond of the phrase.

Anytime I hear it, I start looking for a window to jump out of...

[True Blue American]

31. I had a co worker

When she commnted about,” Truth is Truth,” I knew she was going to give me hr version of dirt she thought about some one.

Deflection ,just like Trump.

[3Hotdogs]

23. Well fuck. Now she's gone too far. I recall the quote from (R) U.S. Sen. Roman Hruska,

"Even mediocre people deserve to be represented."

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Not sure he even could grasp "mediocre". Loser, yes.

The reason I would debate that seemingly small point is some of his biographers and critics say there's nothing he fears more than being labeled a loser, and that his entire life is driven by achieving what he perceives as a "win".

A lot of evidence points to that, as he holds those rallies where his ego always get a huge boost as he rolls out all his "wins". I note also that he and his press minions always paint everything that happens as a win, even when it's a total disaster.

I would love to see a huge billboard across the street from the White House with nothing but "LOSER" in about 10-ft tall letters.

6. But Trump is so good for the US media.

[DemocracyMouse]

16. But as AOC said, only if we keep giving him our attention.

Underscoring this last point, the author of the The Daily Kos wrote:

"Read the whole article, if you please. There’s some great stuff about the Green New Deal in there as well."

[guillaumeb]

34. The corporate US media decides to focus on Trump.

And this focus is at the expense of real investigative work that might reveal the real Trump versus the reality television Trump.

[dem in texas]

29. Yes, you are so right

That's why they won't tell the real truth about him. He is a bat-shit crazy fool taking some sort of stimulate medication

[guillaumeb]

35. There is much truth in that. eom

[dweller]

8. sits pretty damn well with me

and I agree as I can't look at him anymore, one less pair of eyeballs here
🙄


✌🏼️

[Julian Englis]

9. She's being overly generous. n/t

[jalan48]

10. AOC definitely has a way with words...

[LuvNewcastle]

27. She's excellent at messaging.

We don't have too many people on our side who are comparable.

[procon]

11. She's doing a damn fine job of trolling Trump.

He's probably near having a stroke because some women, and a person of color, no less, is pointing out his glaring weaknesses.

Trump already knows how incompetent he is. He's always been a small minded, petty little man who has tried to hide his insecurities behind a smoke screen of loudmouthed bravado and cheap showmanship.

Now comes AOC to expose his secret fears to the public, so of course he's gonna take the bait, but Trump is as not adapt at thinking on the fly as she is.

This should be fun!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. Trump should be tag-teamed on twitter

He should be poked and ridiculed constantly on twitter.

On tv, he should be completely ignored.


(Been pushing this since before the infamous non-election).

[Pepsidog]

12. The Emperor certainly has no clothes now. Brilliant take down of a small man.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. My Welsh Grnadfather used to say that you could take the measure of a man

by the size of the thing it takes to get his goat.

trmp is a very very small, insignificant man.

[watoos]

14. In my younger days when I would stop for just one after work,

I soon learned not to get snarky or to annoy female bartenders. They win every time. Trump better not take on this former bartender she is way out of his league, there will be fireworks.

[certainot]

15. dems need to know what's going on where it counts for republicans. not talking about fox

here’s limbaugh on 1/22/19, while calling AOC a dunce, upstart little crumb-cruncher, commie, babe, marxist, etc., created a silly premise — that Democratic leaders would get media to “take her out” — just so he could repeat “take her out” over and over…..

— transcribed at Sonix.ai:

so the day is going to come where she's gonna make somebody (Dems) mad or she's going to be too successful and will legitimately challenge somebody that has more power than she has. And they're not going to be interested in working with her and welcoming her in because they're not going to trust her so they're gonna take her out. This happens. I mean Soviet leaders were routinely targeted for assassination. They tried to kill Gorbachev during perestroika and glasnost.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. that needs an aggressive D.A.

Limbaugh should be charged for that.

[watoos]

26. I agree

[Raven]

17. Perfect! She spoke for all of us. n/t

[DeminPennswoods]

25. "Mediocre"

Absolutely the perfect put-down.

[ffr]

32. K&R Good choice of words.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. I partially disagree with the headline.

He would have to up his game considerably to ride on mediocre's coattails.

[malaise]

36. AOC is a breath of fresh air

I like her
