Meadows brought his soiled binky to a gunfight.

Let’s hope it’s not heading for the earth. It would hit before anyone would be able to say its name. Unless, of course, it’s just named AOC.

She’s my congressperson who happened to attend the same high school where I grew up in the 60’s-70’s. Us folks who were born in the city but moved to the suburbs as kids because our folks got job transfers.
I’ve been getting fundraising emails from the Bernie folks claiming that there are attempts to primary her by a “establishment Democrat”. I highly doubt they would get much traction because she’s getting more attuned to the job and her base is more solid.

Meadows got a bonbon stuck in his throat today.

You still can if you acknowledge it’s shitty and exploitative. So sayeth me.

“Mr. Chairman, I can tell you on all of this at this particular point, we’re all wanting to cooperate. Sometimes our schedules, you know, we’re not just sitting around eating bonbons, waiting for the call of anybody.”

Jeesh! First is was Dotard and duct tape, and now it’s Meadows and bonbons. What is up with these weird GOP fetishes all of a sudden? And why do they project them so much?

…and she just handed Meadows his Ass-teroid.

I can no longer even bear to watch reports about the game on newscasts given that we now know from autopsy evidence that 99+ percent of pro players have suffered some degree of brain injury from the game.

Trash his cracker ass, Ms. Cortez!

castor_troy · January 30, 2019, 2:50pm

Which makes them all perfectly viable Republican candidates for office.

captain_america · January 30, 2019, 2:54pm

Meadows doesn’t know who he is dealing with.

If success in politics was predicated on smart-ass remarks made by dumb-ass politicians, the Republicans would rule the world.

sniffit · January 30, 2019, 3:03pm

Haha…this was a fairly meaningless thing overall, but it’s still fun to watch her drive them nuts.

darcy · January 30, 2019, 3:04pm

And I’m sure Rep Cummings enjoys having a tough ready-to-fight lieutenant.

sysprog · January 30, 2019, 3:04pm

AGAIN…AOC is not ‘wrong’. 3 days a week is not enough. Get your a$$e$ back to DC and do the people’s work. FUND RAISING and sucking up to wealthy donors is not getting the job done.

sniffit · January 30, 2019, 3:07pm

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. She’s still a private, despite all the over-excitement and hero worship. That being sid, she’s definitely first class.

sickneffintired · January 30, 2019, 3:08pm

This!

sickneffintired · January 30, 2019, 3:11pm

Thought the same Thing
No Spar
STFU moment

gizmolatch · January 30, 2019, 3:12pm

Treating the Republicans like the Republicans treat Democrats. I love it. I have no more fucks to give.

tharris · January 30, 2019, 3:16pm

Indeed…a battle of wits where one of the contestants is unarmed!
