Kind of similar to the question, Is your mom uglier than a warthog?

Only in this case, the answer is, yes, yes she is.

reply

LOL. Wow.

Lame

Hey 'feminist' (I assume you're a feminist or at least a progressive, otherwise why would you be so bothered at his, admittedly pathetic, slam on AOC) why do you feel the need to bring his mom into this?

Is it him that has bothered you, or his mom?

reply

She's smart enough to know her base doesn't care how stupid she is. And she's savvy enough to play the media like a violin. She knows how to get and stay in the headlines, and if she does it by saying something mind-numbingly stupid, her base doesn't care. They believe what she says most of the time, and makes excuses for the rest.

Sort of like how Trump got elected and keeps his base, when you think about it. You need to be concerned about the collective intelligence of the electorate.

reply

You got that right about her saying things as stupid (or even more stupid) than Trump. But here's the difference....they (the left, especially the far left) claim to be intellectually superior. So I expect they will eventually disown her if she keeps showing her vast ignorance on almost every subject.

reply

Well, it would be nice to think so. But I’m fairly certain we’ve come to the point where the electorate fills in the blanks with what they really want to believe.

reply

I'm starting to agree with what you say. I've pointed out many times how liberals and the liberal media hold everyone else to impossible standards while they hold themselves to no standards at all. Her stupidity and their acceptance of it is a prime example.

reply

Are you kidding? I'm certain she's almost as smart as any 5th grader!

reply

Yeah they always claim that socialism has never worked because the qualified people have never been the ones to implement it.

So it seems that morons are ones who are qualified.

reply

I don't know.....have we seen her speak to Trump? That would answer the question. Although I think 5th grade may've been a stretch for Donnie.

reply

she seems to be smarter than the average republican
because i heard her talking about and explaining what
progressive taxation was and most republicans do not
seem to understand that concept because republicans
all think they will be paying 70% taxes when people
talk about the highest marginal rate of taxations should
go up to where it was in the 1950's.

reply

Really? Just how do you know all that? What Republicans do you ever talk to?

If shit-for-brains like her ever take over this country, these days right now will be "the good old days". And the liberal media will lie and point the blame everywhere else.

reply

In the 1950s, the U.S. had enormous manufacturing capability that was totally undamaged by WWII. Even at higher tax rates, companies did well. But despite the tax rate, there were enormous loop holes that corporations took advantage of.

Also, there was far less welfare money wasted in the 1950s. Most families were two-parent who raised kids that didn't end up in the welfare or prison system.

Totally different era.

reply

Those were not loopholes, that was incentive and re-investment. Not only that but money was not sucked up to the top and it got recirculated into the economy - with high velocity, which grew the economy faster.

Yeah, it was a different era, that does not support your argument, it makes no difference. But at least you did not go off on a name calling rant like the other right-wing comment.

reply

Not only that but money was not sucked up to the top and it got recirculated into the economy - with high velocity, which grew the economy faster.


Socialists always say that taxing off the money from a corporation or private wealth recirculates it and expands the economy. Unfortunately, every time it's tried it leads to recession when there are no other mitigating factors.

Every time.

reply

You just made up and lied about that ... so that gets you put on ignore.
The only time there were high taxes on the rich it was when the US had the most economic growth and less inequality.

reply

Are you kidding? A HOUSEPLANT is smarter than her!

reply

It's one gaffe after another with this dingbat.

reply

No she isn't smarter than a 5th grader, those kids would mop the floor with her.

reply

Well it seems she thinks she's smarter than Lenin, Castro and Chavez. They couldn't make socialism work (for the citizens of their countries) but she thinks she can make it work for us.
