AOC Drops Bomb On Trump's Sinking Ship

[UCmeNdc]

"During the impeachment process, one of President Donald Trump’s go-to attempts at deflection is to claim that because the Democrats are caught up in the inquiry, they are getting nothing done legislatively, often tweeting the phrase “Do Nothing Democrats.”

On Sunday, freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) scolded the president on the topic via Twitter, writing about the numerous pieces of legislation she has sponsored or co-sponsored over the past 11 months, while going after Trump’s heartless immigration policies and more. She ended the tweet with a shot at Trump and Republicans, writing: “Try to keep up.”

In his original tweet, Trump blamed leaders of the Democratic party in Congress, including Ocasio-Cortez, writing, “Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, AOC and the rest of the Democrats are not getting important legislation done, hence, the Do Nothing Democrats. USMCA, National Defense Authorization Act, Gun Safety, Prescription Drug Prices, & Infrastructure are dead in the water because of the Dems!”"


In response, AOC sent out a blistering retort, writing, “In my first 11 months I’ve cosponsored 339 pieces of legislation, authored 15, took on Big Pharma w/ my colleagues in hearings that brought PreP generic a year early & exposed abuse of power. In 4 years, you’ve jailed kids & made corruption the cause celebré. Try to keep up.”

1. I love this young woman.

She is a joy and an inspiration and such a refreshing change of pace.

[shraby]

2. Yes. Quick witted, smart, not afraid to say what she thinks and definitely on top of things.

[malaise]

22. THIS

Love her

[liberalla]

21. Yes, she's impressive. Here's the tweet from last Sunday:

I'm glad it's getting more attention.

[get the red out]

58. She is great

I hope she has a long political career ahead of her, fighting for the people of this country!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

51. Who doesn't?! AOC's a future President in the making!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[lark]

57. So happy to be in a safe place where we all love or at least respect, this young dynamo.

[JoeOtterbein]

3. AOC is still smarter than 99% of the men in DC and...

...100% of the Republicans!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

52. Sorry Joe, your numbers seem a bit low!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Pepsidog]

4. Gotta love her. Keep it up AOC. Kick Republican Ass.

[TeamPooka]

5. Democrats have passed 400 bills the GOP is sitting on in the Senate.

[B Stieg]

6. tRump is in way over his head and...

far out of his league. Thanks for fighting back as always, AOC!

[YOHABLO]

7. I will be so happy when that moron is locked up.

[sprinkleeninow]

41. Do nothing Dems.

Sumbudy's a huge moran. And should get a lyfe1!11

[progressoid]

8. "cause celebre" How does this bartender know them fancy pants werds?

If you look at RW memes, they reeeeealy hate her.

Not sure if it's her three Hispanic sounding names or that she's intelligent or beautiful or what that pisses them off. But something about her makes them hate her almost as much as Nancy Pelosi.

[madinmaryland]

10. I'm sure tRump has no clue as to what that means.

[Alpeduez21]

12. Repukes hate strong women

[bluecollar2]

13. Let's see

Intelligent, pretty, young, female, Hispanic democrat...

Pretty sure individually each one of those traits is enough to irritate your average RWer but collectively it's too much for them.

[stopdiggin]

16. just dreamin' a bit

can you see this young lady in the Speaker's shoes .. say like 10-12 years from now? It's not a bad fit is it?

[bluecollar2]

23. That would be excellent!!! N/T

[oldsoftie]

44. No, I cant.

Nancy Pelosi has never been a self promoter. I dont see the Democratic House voting for one either. AOC may not even BE in the House in 10-12 yrs

[DaDeacon]

50. You are right

She'll probably be in the Senate on the the way to the presidency.

[oldsoftie]

59. Thats the funniest thing I've heard all day.

You think she could win a statewide race? She doesnt even have good favorables in her own district.

[DaDeacon]

63. Ok boomer...

Lol, what the future holds is unknown but here is a little reality check for you.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/11/26/aoc-raised-most-money-among-house-dems-during-reelection-campaign/amp/

[oldsoftie]

64. And most of the candidates she backed in '18 LOST. Thats also reality.

If you think money is the biggest factor in elections, I guess we're looking forward to President Steyer or Bloomberg. VERY doubtful.

[DaDeacon]

65. Move the goal post ...

You question her popularity and when evidence counters that you change the argument to her endorsements. Ok, good afternoon and do good work. Lol

[Beartracks]

24. They're pissed from internal tension: they know they're wrong but can't admit it.

Also, they get pissed when their silly name-calling doesn't make Dems back down.

And honestly, silly name-calling is all they've got. Well, that and a monopoly on radio stations to spread their shit around.

===========

[regnaD kciN]

30. She got the accents wrong, but...

...I’m reminded of the late great Molly Ivins, who would throw in comments in her columns like “…it’s a cause célèbre, as they’d say down in Lubbock.”

[oldsoftie]

46. She was always so funny

[smirkymonkey]

9. K&R

Keep on AOC! You are doing well!

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. Not to mention that it's Mitch McConnell who has refused to allow

any Democratic sponsored legislation come to a vote in the Senate. That is NOT how it's supposed to work.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. the Senate needs a big overhaul, starting with ditching Moscow Mitch

[bdamomma]

49. His ass

Needs to be locked up, he should choke on those kickbacks and dirty 💰

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

Alexandria is so good! I love her. She is the elected representative who most reflects my beliefs and values.

[JonLP24]

25. Same here

I like that she has an education in economics so she can blow a hole in RW trickle down myths.

[warmfeet]

15. Wouldn't it be nice

if she were to be president one day.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

18. She's damn good at this political stuff!

And of course the Rs hate her for it. Especially as she's a woman who doesn't seem to know her place, as they would see it.

[corbettkroehler]

19. And Outraised All Of Her House Dem Colleagues, Including The Speaker

Let's not forget that!

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. And, the more the repugs hate her, the more love I throw her way

She is fabulous!!!

[calimary]

40. Indeed. If they hate her, that tells me she's doing great!

The more they hate her, the more I like her!

[Kaleva]

26. Trump supporters will ignore that and they only believe what Trump tells them.

It's impossible to "bomb" somebody who ignores the bombing and goes on like nothing happened.

[Caliman73]

28. Trump supporters are not her intended target.

She is likely going for those who are loosely involved in politics, those who just read Twitter for the drama... and for the base of the party, to keep them motivated by letting them know that there are fighters in the Party. She is doing well in the social media sphere and Pelosi continues to masterfully manage the tactics of the Democratic Party through the impeachment process.

[Kaleva]

38. I would argue that the vast majority of people have no idea who AOC is

IMO, she does well with those who already have the same view about Trump as she does. But she could be effective in motivating the base to go out and vote.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. What she says on Twitter has zero impact unfortunately

Even if we like her, admire her, and agree with her. This guy is on the verge of impeachment don't really think a tweet's gonna scare him.

[Kaleva]

39. I agree.

[whathehell]

27. Love her!

and, yes, I think she's got big things ahead of her

[Danascot]

29. AOC is exactly what we need now!

A woman warrior riding into battle against the forces of evil!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

53. Too bad AOC ineligible to run for President this time around!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

31. She is the future, and others like her. We will not go back.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

32. AOC is a huge inspiration for our youth......

and for that I am grateful, along with the legislation she's been a part of .....

[dchill]

33. AOC. REAL. DEAL.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

54. As real as it gets!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[muntrv]

34. Ask Moscow Mitch, Twitler.

[lordsummerisle]

35. Does anyone know of a site that keeps track

of bills that have passed the House but are just sitting on Mitch McConnells' desk?

[oldsoftie]

45. I'd like to know that too.

[Susan Calvin]

36. I love her so much.

Currently giving $10 a month.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

55. Beyond words!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[sprinkleeninow]

42. "Try to keep up." 👏

[RandiFan1290]

43. K&R for the DUers that hate her so much

This is for YOU!




Why you still so mad?

[malaise]

47. Actually heard this being discussed this morning

There's an article showing how many bills the Dems have passed and how Moscow Mitch simply ignores them as he packs the courts with lunatics

[TexasTowelie]

56. I posted an article from Vox yesterday about McConnell's tactics:

House Democrats have passed nearly 400 bills. Trump and Republicans are ignoring them.
