Greene should have picked up an AP Stylebook & Libel Manual. Her staff most definitely should be already familiar with it.

...AOC is a public figure so she has a higher bar to go over when it comes to defamation.

who seems to have somewhat of a temper and Rep. Pressely is from the hood. AOC can trade barbs with her word for word And Rep. Omar can hold her own.

My money would be on the Squad.

Democrats were doing this to raise money. That's right . . . Democrats. So 'splain the line about "need every liberty-loving American to make an immediate donation," Kev.

Someone in the crowd had a sign that said "punch that cop" so of course she said it because she was near it...I guess...I
don't understand how they think in this way....no logic no common sense no intelligence...not for me, stuff has to make
sense or I can't deal with it.

I could never be Q.

Throw out some incendiary comments (truth doesn't matter here) to ignite the base, claim victimhood, then ask for money to defend them (not her, of course) then sit back and watch the rubes send in their stinking, wrinkled, burnt offerings.

She sat at the feet if the best grifter in the world, and she learned her lessons well.

I never used to hate people before. I was an easy going, live and let live sort of guy, then around the mid90s Newt came along, and it's been a steady slide into hate for a certain political party ever since. Then a piece of shit like MTG shows up, and I'm off the fucking rails.
