Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey to unveil 'Green New Deal' bill

[Starlight]

Laura Basset explains that the problem is white males don't like her because she "checks all the boxes" of everything they hate, and to that list, she adds, "she's Latina...."

Never heard of Basset but I'm a white male and AOC's my favorite member of the House.

Aren't you ashamed of being a white male, Star?

[rogue06]

Can't -she's won't qualify for the constitutional age restriction for VP / Pres for 3 more election cycles.

She'll probably be an outspoken advocate for his campaign though as they are friends who have teamed up before.

She's already made it clear that she does not believe that there is any age restrictions that cover her.

One mine as well, but I suspect for different reasons.

Yeah, cause she's a she (currently).

Ocasio-Cortez then claimed that the Constitution only places a presidential age limit on men

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

As I reminded CP, false witness is against the 10 commandments.

What's this sudden concern about the 10 commandments, Star? By falsely accusing me of lying, you're bearing false witness.

Yeah, I know, the rules don't apply to reprobates.

As I reminded CP, false witness is against the 10 commandments.

I presume you are referring to the time that she laughed that she should run for president to trigger the conservatives before being reminded she couldn't due to age and then jokingly floating the idea of a constitutional amendment to change that just to make conservative heads explode.

Yeah... she was "joking". Riiiiiiiiiight.

[Cow Poke]

Yeah... she was "joking". Riiiiiiiiiight.

I think even Star realized what a batpoop nutty post that was, so he deleted it.

I tried to edit it, but tweb seems to delete posts when edited on a mobile phone. It's a bug I've encountered in the past and should have remembered.

[Starlight]

Aren't you ashamed of being a white male, Star?

No, I'm glad I am, it's quite advantageous.

Don't succumb to conservative derangement syndrome that thinks liberals are against white males.

He probably realized that he'd then have to claim she was also "joking" when she claimed that the three branches of government were the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

And "joking" when she declared that the reason the unemployment rate was so low was because people had two jobs.

No wonder star thinks she's so smart. She's just as ignorant about our government and how things work as he is.

[Cow Poke]

Well, she may be close, but I think that's just a bit of a stretch.

[Cow Poke]

You wear a man bun, don't you?

She had a slip of the tongue and immediately corrected herself in the following sentence.

The extent you guys seem to see the need to lie to each other about what AOC said in order to try and pretend she's stupid is absolutely breathtaking. I have literally never seen anything like it in all my life in any country's politics. I mean, you do one or two Pelosi misquotes to try to make her look stupid, but with AOC you all seem to fall over each other with as many as a dozen misquotes and misinterpreted anecdotes in your race to slander her. It's really weird. It strikes me as pathological.
