Republicans figured out the dog whistles to help them court the "Tea Party Patriots" and successfully piss down their necks and convince them that it is raining. Democrats need to to that with the progressives. No principle. Just pander and then do what you were going to to anyway until it all blows up.

It's also taken a lot of attention away from democratic presidential contenders. It appears he was successful on all fronts, if it was indeed a strategically planned tweet. Though, I question his ability to think on that multi-faceted level, it was probably just a dumb tweet that may or may not work in his favor.

So the 4 libtard commies hate the military and law enforcement so much they take the squad (a military and police) name for themselves, maybe squids would be more appropriate!

Funny how much intersection there is ( at least here) between the set of "libtard commies hate the military" and the set of people with actual military service.

Where do you get this ridiculous stuff?
Show me where
eps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts hate the military or police.

(BTW a group of quids is a squad)

I do think Medicare for all should be "for all who want it".
Medicare provides a basic level of service, most people supplement it with private insurance.
As much of a nonproductive drag on our economy the private medical care denial industry is, there is room for it along wit the public option.

Dang cranky, reading your posts is like watch a rerun of Corky on Life Goes On.

We may know someday. But, I believe it is was a planned maneuver. Trump has one of the better natural instincts I have seen in a politician. If you break down his various actions, you have to conclude that he is either a political genius or the luckiest person ever to grace the planet (a real life Chauncey Gardiner).

Rifts are good on both sides..... the 2 party system is wearing out their usefulness, and basically just pawns for corporate interests........ The braindead blindly partisan mentality many have needs an exorcism.... NPR is proof of that.

But then again, Corky was MUCH more eloquent of a speaker...

AOC isn't really that much different that the rest of the establishment Democrats. The establishment just knows what they can say out loud and what needs to stay out of the news. AOC and the squad often remind me of the Gruber guy who admitted that the Obama administration could have never passed Obamacare without the useful idiots. For example, AOC's Chief of Staff "The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn't originally a climate thing at all. Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing." That's what most of us knew all along, this idiot just slipped up and said it out loud. It isn't about improving the environment. The environment is being used as the excuse or the wedge argument but the goal isn't to improve the environment. The biggest problem for AOC and team is that our economy is doing well. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are closing at record highs and unemployment is hitting all-time lows. Good luck getting everyone onboard with that.

Well Street is doing great, but the correction is coming. And you'll probably be asked to pay for it. Again. Remember, we love private profits, but socialized losses.

AOC knows that issues of climate are intimately connected to labor, economy, housing, and healthcare. She so far ahead you guys can't keep up.

Corporate debt is at an all-time high, corporations that continue to bleed money are worth billions in the Markets, the Dow jump 500 points when Trump lies about China....yep, this ain't gonna end well.

I was right.

Rift? The House just voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Four.

If Trump wanted unity, he got it. lol

-------------------------
I was right.

Yep, this presidency is a cross between Being There (Chauncey Gardiner) and Idiocracy. Interesting that you compare Trump to Chauncey Gardiner in that he was a simple minded man who got all his information from TV, and many suspected correctly that he in fact was mentally handicapped or delusional. Glad to hear that you finally concluded that!
