Mr. 10% is smaller than 1000 ppm MENSA man. My question is why is it so important to you that other people think AOC is a "bimbo"?

What a stupid question! It's in the same league as a reporter asking backstabber/shifty Bill Shorten [Australia's new PM come next Monday] a question about the cost of a very dishonest policy and his non reply. Except for those of her swooning fans and far left Dems, everyone else know she's a brainless bimbo. She makes Sarah Palin seem like genius in comparison. As if further proof was needed......................................

Sarah Palin took how many years and colleges to get a degree verses Ocasio Cortez getting a college degree, straight up and cum laude, from Boston University.
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "😊 Oh, what’s that? All these spooky “socialist” proposals are winning over vast majorities of GOP voters because they are common-sense, humane policies? Ya don’t say.… https://t.co/XWIz53OJd2" noting Josh Miller-Lewis on Twitter: "Nearly 70% of Republican primary voters support @BernieSanders and @AOC's proposal to cap interest rates at 15% https://t.co/eZ1V8Zu1hY"

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Alabama lawmakers are making all abortions a felony punishable w jailtime,incl women victimized by rape+incest. Of course, no added punishments for rapists. It’s going to @GovernorKayIvey‘s desk. She will decide the future of women’s rights in Alabama. https://t.co/IRR0EtsxHp"
Though AOC's religious affiliation is Catholicism, she's firmly on the pro-choice side of the abortion culture war.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "This law would force children - 12 year olds - to carry a pregnancy by their rapist. This law would force people w/ mental disabilities to carry pregnancy by rape to term. This law forces people to be pregnant against their own consent. It’s horrifying."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "1st Q today: to military contractor TransDigm, w/ a history of price gouging the public. Their 3in clutch disc costs $32 to make. They charged DoD $1,443 149x. How many kids could we have sent to college tuition-free at the cost of their unfair gouging? https://t.co/gF2BpBUnc4"
If it is a small run and it took a lot of R&D effort to design it and test it, such expense may be understandable. Rocket engines, for instance. But it seems doubtful in this case. Doubtful at best.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Today’s hearing on White Supremacy was powerful. Heather Heyer’s mother, @SusanBro7, offered testimony on how ‘being non-racist isn’t good enough; we must be anti-racist.’ We also learned how white supremacist mass shootings escape FBI “domestic terror“ classification & more.… https://t.co/lAnY5ksx5s"
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Thanks for your advocacy! It‘s wrong that many children eligible for adoption go without adoptive families due to discrimination against the LGBT+🏳️*🌈 community. A loving family is a core element of wellbeing + happiness. That chance shouldn’t be taken from any child or parent.… https://t.co/rWNib8RuEe" noting Alec Mapa on Twitter: "After a day of lobbying for the Every Child Deserves A Family Act to end discrimination in foster care and adoption we got to meet @AOC !! #FosterCareAwarenessMonth… https://t.co/4aMDC684NG"

Public Citizen on Twitter: ".@AOC to military contractor exec: I could have covered the insulin costs of a community of 21,400 people for the cost of your price-gouging. I could have sent 21 kids to college. I could have sent 18 toddlers to free preschool for a year. Why should we give you another dime?… https://t.co/IWANDdxKpM"

AOC and Sanders Take On Other Democrats At Green New Deal Event
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Joe Biden Trade Barbs Over Climate

During that GND event, AOC took a swipe at "conservatives" in both parties for doing nothing about excessive atmospheric CO2. Joe Biden responded by stating that he has a good record on the environment. No response from AOC.

She's supposedly graduated with an economics degree, yet economics is far beyond her grasp in reality. I'd say she most likely got her degree from a box of breakfast cereal.

Anything goes when it's "national defense", it seems.

Bend the Arc: Jewish Action on Twitter: "Powerful moment between @AOC & Heather Heyer's mom @SusanBro7 at today's hearing on white supremacy. "I have been given a huge platform…because I’m white. Many Black parents, Muslim parents, Jewish parents lose their children and nobody pays attention." True solidarity.… https://t.co/aBwka9u1y3" - links to some video of AOC quizzing her.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies. They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women. From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Ultimately, this is about women’s power. When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy. It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "We all have our hard days, but turning it around is all about perspective. People often ask me how I deal w/ negativity. In person, the ➕ far outweighs the ➖. These notes sometimes get taken down, only for new ones to pop up the next day. Thank you everyone for the support 💕… https://t.co/iJHlknoJl3" -- her wall of Post-It notes of support

Take On Wall St on Twitter: "[2/2] @RepAOC "Let's say I'm the CEO and I'm ruthlessly incentivized to get stock prices as high as possible. (And usually this just means increasing profits for shareholders). So I need to find a way to build this margin. Let's say I take away healthcare from my workers..."… https://t.co/dAlMuVYTpv" - with some video. She mentions corporate money going into stock buybacks rather than bonuses for employees or investment in facilities or expansion. Part of the financialization of our economy, with effort going into inflating stock prices rather than anything productive or directly useful.
 
Sanders and AOC want to cap credit card interest rates with Stop Loan Sharks Act - Vox "Cheaper (but scarcer) credit cards and the end of payday loans." notes Senator Sanders and Representative Ocasio-Cortez Unveil the Loan Shark Prevention Act to Protect Consumers - Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont

Also, Senator Bernie Sanders’ and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Plan to Stop Big Banks and… by BS himself. A copy of it at BS's official site, and it is still not present in the Congressional record: S.1389 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): A bill to protect consumers from usury. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress -- the "Text" tab of that page states
As of 05/16/2019 text has not been received for S.1389 - A bill to protect consumers from usury.

Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from GPO, the Government Publishing Office, a day or two after they are introduced on the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are a large number of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be printed.

Mother of woman killed by white supremacist tells Ocasio-Cortez at hearing people must ‘take active stance’ against racism - New York Daily News
At the hearing by House Oversight Committee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) pointed to escalating white violence, but noted that Heyer’s death was not counted by the FBI as a hate crime or domestic terror, nor were the murders of black parishioners in a Charleston, S.C., church, or Jewish worshipers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. However, attacks by non-white Muslims at the Orlando Pulse nightclub and in San Bernardino were.

During her time in the chair, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I can’t help but come to the conclusion that these labels, what’s being labeled as terrorism is almost exclusively coming down to the identity,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It seems as though white men, invoking white supremacy and engaging in mass shootings, are almost immune from being labeled domestic terrorists in their violence.”

Sort of like the Weimar Republic of interwar Germany, where Adolf Hitler got off easy after his failed coup in Munich.

Susan Bro, Heather Heyer's mother, argued in that hearing that it is not enough to be nonracist. One must also be antiracist.
 
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/wa...rges-2000-for-drug-that-costs-8-in-australia/

Meanwhile. AOC is making pharmaceutil COS squirm at hearings. Why does a drug that costs $2000 in the US cost only $8 in Australia?
Obvious she is a dumb bimbo who doesn't know dirt, or so some here opine. The GOP controlled the House and senate in the Bush years and well into the Clinton years and 2 years of Trump. They did nothing about any of this. Now with the house in Democratic hands, we are beginning to see some action.
 
Justice Democrats on Twitter: ""What's being labelled as terrorism is almost exclusively coming down to the identity. And it seems as though white men invoking white supremacy and engaging in mass shootings are almost immune from being labeled domestic terrorists in their violence." -@AOC… https://t.co/Hfi0F9tLTu"
Seems like the Weimar Republic all over again.

AOC takes on pharmaceutical price gouging:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Spoiler: Because Australia has universal healthcare.… " noting Public Citizen on Twitter: ".@AOC to Gilead CEO: The list price [for Truvada for PrEP] is almost $2,000 in the US. Why is it $8 in Australia?… "
He claimed that that was because that drug is now generic in Australia but still under patent protection in the US.
CSPAN on Twitter: ".@RepAOC @AOC: "I blame us. I blame this body because every single developed country in the world guarantees health care as a right except us, except the United States, because we can't get it together."… https://t.co/zsBxq3vzPV"
After Rep. Rashida Tlaib praised her as "my sister from New York" who is a "shed of light in this time of darkness in our country", AOC testified again.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "If male politicians could get pregnant, there would be as many Planned Parenthood clinics as there are Post Offices. 💌📬… https://t.co/r2M2f0gRfi" noting Barbra Streisand on Twitter: "If these male GOP elected officials could get pregnant, there would be free abortion nationwide https://t.co/GPVzyWeN3q"
There is an old feminist joke: "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament".

Shit, if guys could get pregnant, you could get an abortion in a drive-thru.

But where would the fetus gestate? Would we keep it in a box?

Of course, all of this is symbolic of our fight against the Romans. After all, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: ".@KatieHill4CA went IN on Big Pharma payouts + bonuses today 🔥 Usually CSPAN zooms in pretty tight on members - I didn’t realize my reactions cheering her on were on camera until she showed it to me 🤣… https://t.co/bXzUVgNNVv" noting Rep. Katie Hill on Twitter: ".@GileadSciences paid its former CEO $180 mil, while making billions in profit from lifesaving HIV drugs that are unaffordable for people who need them. The kicker: those drugs were developed using tens of millions of TAXPAYER dollars. And someone needed to call 'em out. 🗣️… https://t.co/oXTaofRO2s"
Why Gilead?  Balm of Gilead: "Balm of Gilead was a rare perfume used medicinally, that was mentioned in the Bible, and named for the region of Gilead, where it was produced. The expression stems from William Tyndale's language in the King James Bible of 1611, and has come to signify a universal cure in figurative speech."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Usury - aka high interest - happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions). Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. 😇 Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people.… https://t.co/r1Aj9gCKF0" noting Vox on Twitter: ".@BernieSanders and @AOC have a deceptively simple proposal that would transform the credit card industry and virtually eliminate payday loans: cap interest rates on consumer loans at 15% per year. https://t.co/xPZOMtue3R"

Sacrilege!!! Lasagne was invented in my home city of Napoli not Rome!!
Origins and history. Lasagne originated in Italy during the Middle Ages and has traditionally been ascribed to the city of Naples. The first recorded recipe was set down in the early 14th-century Liber de Coquina (The Book of Cookery).

Sort of like Rush Limbaugh's followers saying "Ditto" about his statements, something which led to them being called "Dittoheads".

A "sister": Rashida Tlaib on Twitter: "Presided over the U.S. House of Representatives today.
