She needs all the publicity possible. She is the voice of where they want to take the country. Everyone needs to hear and understand.

Plus, she's so dumb it's amusing to hear what she has to say. Dumb, but dangerous.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti obtained majority control of Justice Democrats PAC in December 2017, according to archived copies of the group’s website, and the two appear to retain their control of the group, according to corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. If the Federal Election Commission (FEC) finds that the New York Democrat’s campaign operated in affiliation with the PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, it would open them up to “massive reporting violations, probably at least some illegal contribution violations exceeding the lawful limits,” former FEC commissioner Brad Smith said.

I predict nothing will come of this.

Sadly, I agree with you.

AOC strikes back at NewYork Post article showing that she doesn’t use trains even though her campaign office was 200 ft from a Subway station. Used 29,000 dollars worth of Uber rides even though she condemned them for not paying a living wage, vs NY cabs which she hardly used.
Also spent a lot on air travel even though her race was local.

While I don't disagree with you here, maybe we should all remember forum rule #11:

11. Off-topic posts/threads: Since they tend to cause the most problems for other boards, our "off-topic" sub-forum is not an "anything goes" area. Absolutely no discussions of immigration/border security, abortion, race matters, or any other hot-button political issues. (Gun-related political issues can be discussed in the Gun and/or Self-Defense Related Political Issues forum.)

Not everybody on this forum agrees with our position, and this should not be a wedge issue that will divide gun owners.

After receiving praise for her questioning of Michael Cohen during his testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attributed her skills to years spent tending bars and waiting on tables.

philip964 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 4:51 pm Right now AOC is speaking live at the Cohen hearing.

She is asking about Trump’s golf courses. Deflating the value of his courses to lower his property taxes.

“How did he do this?” Cohen replied he submitted a lower value to the taxing authorities when submitting a value.

The back and forth is riviting.

Incentives
Each of the 238 cities vying to become Amazon’s second home offered the company incentives far more significant than a giant cactus or even something as major as its very own city -- which Atlanta did, according to the Journal-Constitution. Companies do not always publicly reveal the details of the financial incentives they're offered, but Amazon was forthright about the enticements it received.

From New York State, Amazon received “performance-based direct incentives of $1.525 billion based on the company creating 25,000 jobs in Long Island City.”

Amazon also signaled its intention to apply for additional incentives from the Big Apple.
