Looks like ol’ Jim Treacher’s getting all bent out of shape about this story, but right out the box I’m not buying Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s story — and nor are others. Here’s why I feel the way I do.
1) AOC is a habitual liar. In her short career as a House Rep., AOC has lied, fabricated and exaggerated about just about everything: her background, her home life, her campaign finances… the list is endless, because she lies every time she speaks, and she speaks constantly: a nonstop barrage of bullshit.
2) All socialists lie, whether to conceal crimes (e.g. Hillary Clinton and her illegal email server) or to further their agenda (e.g. gun controllers using false data), or in service of their philosophy (“we protect the people against the bosses”), or for immediate political gain (the current border emergency). AOC is just a poster-child for this lying.
When AOC says that Border Patrol officers threatened her, I don’t believe her. It’s quite possible they made fun of her or made derogatory remarks to each other about her — but that’s not a threat.
What I think happened was that Representative Snowflake may have felt threatened by having a bunch of armed officers standing around her — gun-fearing wussies often are — and they may not have given her the respect she felt she deserves — fair enough, considering that she wants to eliminate all their jobs — but none of that is threatening behavior. The fact is that her “fact-finding” mission was a total bust: she couldn’t find any evidence of bad stuff to buttress her absurd claims of “border concentration camps”, so she’s made up all these bullshit accusations to compensate (not to mention being overcome with grief at the sight of an empty parking lot).
This silly little girl’s fifteen minutes of fame are almost up, and I hope that the voters of her district show some sense and toss her skinny ass out of Congress next year.
And perhaps Treacher’s pearl-clutching is actually satirical, but it sure doesn’t read like that.
*If actual proof of threats and such become available — note the word proof — then I’ll change my opinion. I won’t be holding my breath.
“I hope that the voters of her district show some sense…”
=========
You mean the same dickheads that put her in place?
Yeah, but she cost them several hundred jobs with the Amazon thing. We can but hope.
She doesn’t get reported in the British Press, (not that I’ve seen but I don’t read the Morning Star or the Guardian). I also read, (when I can get them), the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Welt plus Stern and Focus and she don’t get no mentions in there either. I don’t see Le Figaro or La Croix so much these days, so I can’t comment there.
Is the International Herald Tribune still in print? It’s partly owned by the NYFT, so the stupidity that comes out of her mouth ought to be of interest to at least the owners, if not the readers.
Let us not forget her own words referring to telling the truth: “There’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
FWIW, I think Treacher is serious, but not in the way you think. By all means, let’s have an official investigation, which can only conclude that AOC was lying.
Exactly!
AOC appears to have a lot of the mental illness that occurs in some people where they never let the facts get in the way of their feelings. Every bit of information that goes into their brains through their eyes and ears comes out their mouth with great sincerity shaped as a fact to support their preconceived notions of being wronged by the right.
“And perhaps Treacher’s pearl-clutching is actually satirical, but it sure doesn’t read like that.”
The Breaking Update video is very reassuring.
Those are detention centers. As such, they have combo toilet, sink, fountain combinations. She doesn’t speak Spanish as far as I know so this would probably be a mix up in translation. Not forgiving the socialistic bitch, just saying. Also, there’s supposedly a BP video showing her ranting and raving at the agents. Hope they release that for shits and giggles.
Short version. Spoiled brat didn’t get what she wanted and is throwing a temper tantrum. Or after getting caught fibbing at the parking lot photo op makes up an even bigger lie.
When you want to submit a declaration to the court stating that you were abused or ridiculed or insulted, you have to state specifically what it was that was said to you. To merely summarize it as this Leftist Mensa Affirmative Action Admittee has done is to be “conclusory”, a sin among lawyers even greater than lying to the court (that’s reserved for witnesses, the only ones under oath there to tell the truth).
Exactly!
