    Appears to have won her primary against a former CNBC host backed by Wall Street to the tune of $2 million. Guess she’s going to be around for awhile.
    Her coffers and staff were even larger than the opponent.  
    Not to mention district and nationwide support.
    Financially,  for sure.  Some are saying that she's going to challenge Schumer.   That's a tall order.  If she loses,  she may have missed filling deadlines for her seat,  leaving her out of Congress. 
    Well someone thinks that's a good idea....



    That's how you know it's a terrible idea.  I don't think she could beat him.  She's perfect for her district but things change quickly statewide. 
    Too soon to take on Chuck. Upstate voters won't go for her, yet. She needs to pay her dues, show she can work with the moderates within the party and find common ground with repubs, although that might be a lost cause. The senate is genteel and not full of firebrands. She could show some chops getting Sleepy Woke Joe's agenda through the House, which would set her up nicely for a statewide run.
    lol AOC common ground with Repubs!? in what universe?  They have completely demonized her near everyday before she even took her seat.
    They have for sure.  And I wish they'd stick to real issues.  She also got elected by demonizing them. 

    I do hope we get past the culture you describe.  Someone is going to have to reach across eventually.  Being a former republican, I believe it;s going to happen when the Dems have total control and the republican party is smaller but back to it's conservative values.  Unsure when that will happen.

    Yea, he needs tax breaks to create jobs. GTFOH. And this after his divorce where he paid his ex $89 billion or so. So yea, let the tax payers subsidize his obscene wealth.

    Jeff Bezos added $13 billion to his net worth on Monday, the largest single-day jump for an individual since the Bloomberg Billionaires Index was created in 2012.

    Amazon.com Inc. shares surged 7.9%, the most since December 2018 on rising optimism about web shopping trends, and are now up 73% this year.

    Bezos, Amazon’s 56-year-old founder and the world’s richest person, has seen his fortune swell $74 billion in 2020 to $189.3 billion, despite the U.S. entering its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. He’s now personally worth more than the market valuation of giants such as Exxon Mobil Corp., Nike Inc. and McDonald’s Corp.

    At this rate, Bezos will become the 1st trillionaire. It's insane. With the money he has now, he could control most of what happens in this country for the next 20 years. Yuck.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well, I wonder what the repub congressman blames for the uptick in shootings and crime in NYC? Was AOC out of line with her explanation, oversimplified as it was? Was there any truth to her statement(s)? I can think of several things to blame for the crime surge, inclusive of "responsible" gun owners.

    Shes out of line with her reasoning most of the time. What a shame she’ll be a “famous” politician for the foreseeable future.

    This is where AOC is wrong.

    Shootings here are done with stolen guns.  So those people doing the shootings are not responsible gun owners.

    Your comments are ridiculous sometimes.

    Let's hear your "why" on the crime surge.  I'm all ears.

    Way to keep it classy. But hey, maybe Bezos could fund the NYC police? And not bat an eye?

    Dude was out of line with the language but Ocasio is out of hers with that reasoning.
    Well, I wonder what the repub congressman blames for the uptick in shootings and crime in NYC? Was AOC out of line with her explanation, oversimplified as it was? Was there any truth to her statement(s)? I can think of several things to blame for the crime surge, inclusive of "responsible" gun owners.
    This is where AOC is wrong.

    Shootings here are done with stolen guns.  So those people doing the shootings are not responsible gun owners.

    Your comments are ridiculous sometimes.

    Let's hear your "why" on the crime surge.  I'm all ears.

    The answer is simple.  Same reason why Chicago is like Gotham City these days.  If my kids know they can get away with anything and have no consequences, guess what...they're going to do those things.  It's a damn free for all.  Glad I live in the burbs away from the mess that the city has become.

    Crime is generally socioeconomic in nature.  When unemployment surges, crime will surge.

    True.  That is one factor.  There are others fueling the recent crime surges that some mayors choose to ignore.  I think of the saying, "give an inch, take a mile."

    Breaking up protests that are protected by the First Amendment is not a solution to reduce crime (or protests for that matter).

    Allowing police intervention when people are burning, spray painting, and damaging buildings/ businesses as well as tearing down statues and monuments (excluding Confederate figures) is different than breaking up protests protected by the First Amendment.  Telling law enforcement to stand down while these crimes take place will only perpetuate the problem.

    Why are “responsible” gun owners allowing their guns to be stolen?
    Nope.

    Answer my question.

    Did you pound the table too? I would but I don’t believe you’re truly interested. 
    No caps.  Just bolding the question.  I really am interested.  We can have a discussion about it.

    Well, then, I’d appreciate it if you’d answer the questions I posed to you regarding AOC’s comments. Let’s start with your answer(s) and then I’ll answer your question. Fair enough?

    Is that what the Portland mayor was doing last night when he was gassed?
