Changing the subject to the Republicans, great.

Ocasio-Cortez just created a problem for herself. For a twitter burn. She is making a big habit of creating problems for herself, and she's not going to be able to slide out from under them the same way Trump does.

Nah. That is the only response this line of argumentation really deserves. AOC is overwhelmingly popular and contrary to popular opinion, not an idiot. Nobody will care about this by Monday.

What do you think you're accomplishing by mocking the people pointing this out? She just created evidence of her intent to abuse political power. She just committed a completely unforced error. This tweet has already been archived and screenshotted several hundred times. She is going to have to make excuses for this tweet live on CSPAM on the floor of the House if they subpoena Trump Jr.

This was a gently caress-up.

She's not going to be part of whatever intel or judiciary committee subpeonas stuff. It's not "the house" subpeonaing Jr.
Also, even if she was it doesn't matter - if the committee votes to issue the subpoena then it's done. There's no higher authority to appeal to and no one on the committee is going to vote against a subpoena because of a loving tweet.

Do you really not understand that there are people stockpiling this poo poo to throw back at the Democrats? And that when they throw it back, it is going to hurt when they do it? Every Democrat in the House is going to be dragged into either disavowing AOC or standing by her every time there is a twitter burn the Republicans can drag up that makes her look like she is anticipating the opportunity to abuse political power. Every time. Every day.

And about that "overwhelmingly popular" bit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressional_district#Election_results

She beat 2014 and 2002. Every other midterm had more votes for the Democrat. The people that actually got to vote her into office didn't even respond to that opportunity like it was anything special. She isn't even tremendously popular within her own goddamn district.

You don't lose anything until you cash out. The point of IRA and 401k long term investments is that despite whatever markets do (up and down) it shouldn't matter all that much until you get to retirement. You want a diverse portfolio for that reason and dividends to generate passive income that can be put back in.

I thought what it was doing was using your money to buy stocks in index funds or something and banking on the idea that over time it goes in a positive direction? i.e. having someone else buy stocks for you?

It's not about decorum, it's about doing what's right. Trump should be investigated because he committed crimes, not because someone trolled someone on twitter. Investigating someone for pissing them off is what Republicans do.

I understand that Republicans focus on AOC because she gets under their skin, but cannot for the life of me think of why you would think that a 29-year-old freshman representative from Brooklyn who has not even been sworn in would have any meaningful influence in congress.

lol have you been watching the Republicans at all for the last 30 years?

They will actually make up poo poo about whoever they don’t like and blast it on repeat. They don’t give a poo poo about facts or accurate attacks or anything.

The Republican base is going to hate AoC no matter what. There’s no possible way that you can actually think that her warning Donald “I’ll just tweet out my crimes.txt” Trump Jr. about incoming subpoenas has any real consequences.

Also lol at “She’s not even that popular” to the biggest rising star of young progressives.
