"SNIP....

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) got into a heated online exchange on Monday after Scott took a jab at the Green New Deal and Ocasio-Cortez shot back that it was embarrassing that a sitting U.S. senator could say something “lacking so much critical thinking,” The Hill reports.

“Scott later claimed that Ocasio-Cortez didn’t understand sarcasm and that she embarrassed both herself and Congress as a whole.”

Don't ya just love how the feeble-minded conservatrons resort to "I was only kidding" or "you just don't get " when confronted with someone that does get it and does have more than a modicum of intelligence.

His coach wanted to get rid of him because he was so tall 6' 2.5" and skinny and was not an exact fit to the rest of the 8 man crew. So he had row offs against my brother where my brother and someone else would race against another two members of the team. The rest of the crew were rotated all in and out so he could get bad times on my brother. Contest after contest. Race after race. My brother beat all the times. He won every race. So he stayed on the crew. This is what the GOP is doing to AOC. They can try to attack her with the movement conservatives one by one, but she will knock them each out with strength and maturity, maturity beyond her years and way, way beyond theirs.

total WTF ... with republican gerrymandering. Hate to say it ... I can see why some don't bother to vote ... of course that is stupid too. The US has some really really major problems. Looks like crooks and criminals often do well in American politics.
