Everyday our nation moves more and more towards becoming a real live version of the Mike Judge classic film, ‘Idocracy’. Just like Orwell’s 1984, Idocracy is going to need to be removed from the fiction section any day now.
When Ocasio-Cortez popped on the scene, I thought it was funny, hilarious in fact. The problem came when people actually started taking her seriously.
I was a bartender for a decade, I don’t think having tended bar means that you can never accomplish anything or that you are not intelligent (although I am proof there are dumb bartenders ????). It’s not her former career that scares me, it’s how arrogant she is and how confident she is despite the fact she has no f****** clue what the hell she is talking about … and she has the power to make laws!!!
That is a dangerous combination … especially seeing as AOC is demonstrably out of her damn mind. Beyond that, she appears to be an actress playing a role:
While I sit here thinking AOC and her unfounded arrogance were the best thing to happen to conservatism since Thomas Jefferson, it turns out that her ‘message’ … of ‘free everything’ is resonating with America’s purposefully dumbed down youth.
Today AOC went full ‘retard’, and as Robert Downey Jr.’s character in Tropic Thunder explains, you NEVER got full ‘retard’:
Fox News reported:
‘Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said passing the Green New Deal would have helped to prevent the devastating power outages in Texas that have left millions struggling to find warmth in their homes amid a brutal winter storm and record-shattering cold temperatures.
“The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal,” Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tweeted on Tuesday night.

More than 3.4 million customers remained without power on Wednesday in Texas, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks utility outage reports. There were also widespread outages in Louisiana and Mississippi, and rolling blackouts across a broad swath of the Midwest.
AOC’s Green New Deal’s solution to Texas’ power failure during freak snow storm and cold spell
State leaders, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, have criticized the operations of the state’s power grid. Abbott on Tuesday called for an investigation into the group that manages the power grid in order to prevent more such outages.
“The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has been anything but reliable over the past 48 hours,” Abbott said. “Far too many Texans are without power and heat for their homes as our state faces freezing temperatures and severe winter weather. This is unacceptable.”
The governor said he wants to “get a full picture of what caused this problem and find long-term solutions.”
During a Tuesday press conference, ERCOT, which operates the state’s power grid, said that failures in natural gas, coal and nuclear energy systems were responsible for about double the number of outages caused by frozen wind turbines.
At least 20 people have died as a result of the storm or its aftermath.’
How did we ever survive before the Green New Deal was conceived and then regurgitated out of AOC’s mouth?
Oh, that’s right, using the fuel in the ground. I am all for transitioning to better energy generation modalities.
HOWEVER, we can not abandon what we have no UNTIL THE NEW & BETTER METHODS EXIST.
It has never been more clear that the inmates have taken over the asylum.
