Why yes, yes she can. Unbelievable I know.

 

Ocasio-Cortez vows to 'run train' on progressive agenda in bizarre turn of phrase

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., used a strange – and sexually charged – phrase to describe to the Washington Post her plan for implementing a progressive agenda.

“... enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda,” the newly minted congresswoman told the newspaper.

The choice of words sent the Internet into a tizzy, as it has a well-known and highly disturbing connotation. According to the Urban Dictionary, to “run train” means “to********” someone. The phrase was injected into more mainstream parlance in October, after a client of **** industry lawyer Michael Avenatti claimed – with no evidence whatsoever – that now-Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh “ran trains” on girls while in high school near Washington, D.C.

The cringe-worthy pledge appeared in the transcript of an extensive interview Ocasio-Cortez gave the Post, in which she complained of being targeted by conservatives. She noted a fake photo that has circulated, purporting to show her in a bathtub, and said her critics have run out of ammunition.

“Dude, you’re all out of bullets, you’re all out of bombs, you’re all out of all this stuff,” the 29-year-old self-described socialist said.

“What have you got left?” she asked. “I’m six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”

Pundits were quick to chime in, with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro labeling the word choice as "hilariously terrible." Twitchy sought an explanation for the odd phrase, tweeting, "Over to you, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. WTH did you mean by this?"

AOC keeps handing out ammo to snipe at her with.  She'll run the train on a progressive agenda -- does that equate to off the rails, over budget and broke?  Or, like progressive Benito, that they'll run on time? 

We may make fun of her, however, she is dangerous.  People made find of Benito as a popinjay and of a sawed off corporal with a ridiculous mustache.

I'm betting she means the dems will be running the train on the taxpayer.

She is not dangerous but her agenda and frame of mind are.  Given time and support, she could herself be dangerous but dangerous to the American way of life.  She is typical of many young today with ideas driven by a highly secular education that the basis is usually developed during collegiate indoctrination.  Indoctrination by professors and teachers which view people like Marx and Lenin and other Communist as heroes and visionaries.   Her ideology seems highly based on Socialism and Communistic theories and opposed to a capitalistic system of government.  The danger she presents is that she actually could be propelled into some position of leadership where she could affect some measure of change.   

What is dangerous is that one day, if she can remain in the limelight and news then name recognition alone can propel many to higher office and positions.  Look how a certain speaking position and speech at the Democratic National Convention gave rise to some then unknown congressman named Barak Obama and where he ended up.  Crazy things happen and with a nation where so many people vote party line only regardless of the person who is chosen or their policies, it's not crazy to think that she could one day end up as President.

Republicans elected Trump and have the nerve to criticize anyone else's choice? Really? This is priceless.

Yeah, this girl wants to fundamentally change America into some kind of quasi-Socialist/Communist punish the achievers and reward those who don't want to achieve but want free rides.  All Trump wants to do is make America the strongest, richest, greatest Nation in the world and protect its citizens.  How dare he!  He should be impeached for such horrific goals and desires.  

I'll admit that there are shortcomings with Trump, especially with regards to his ego, but when you are as wealthy as he is and accomplished as much as he was able to you can expect that the person would have some kind of ego to nurture.  Under Trump's leadership, we have seen vastly reduced fuel cost, much less dependence on foreign nations, much lower corporate taxes which led to much higher employment for all races and citizens as well as a soaring stock market padding many people's retirement accounts not to mention unheard of unemployment rates among Hispanics, minorities, and most everyone.

I'm sure Trump isn't as moral a man as Jimmy Carter was and is but certainly has no worse morals than Bill Clinton.  As of now, I'm wondering just what it is that Trump has done that deserves condemnation and a reason not to re-elect him when 2020 comes around. (at least based on what we know to date). 

My greatest disappointment with Trump and the Republicans is that they were never able to correct and fix the horrible mess that the Democrats and Obama put us in when they messed with healthcare.  Under Obama and the Democrats (solely to blame), Healthcare cost became unreal for many families specifically with the cost for the insurance, that was made mandatory to purchase unless you wanted to pay a huge fine, and WORSE deductibles for people and families quadrupled and exponentially rose to the point where it was like no one had insurance anymore because they had to pay so much more out of their pockets before the greatly expensive insurance ever kicked in paying their amounts.  Republicans failed to correct that and for that, I'm not happy with them but the Democrats created that mess, to begin with, and thankfully most of the ones who were responsible were voted out or lost elections due to that.

And how dumb does the left think the mainstream voters in this U.S. are?  Hopefully the masses will completely disagree with the ultra libs and vote'em out.  It's scary that any electorate like the NY voters could be cumulatively so downright stupid.

The district that voted her in is mainly Hispanic and not very educated. She promised them the Moon, stars and the sky and they thought she could give that to them.

NYC elected Comrade de Blasio as mayor.  Not a good sign as far as intelligent voters go.  He's promised healthcare to all illegals that come to NYC and to redistribute the city's wealth.  Meanwhile, their subway lurches from breakdown to breakdown due to delayed maintenance.

Pretty much a mirror image of her!  Looks like they elected one of their peers.  The question is will the media and Hollywood give her any further momentum? It's dangerous when a person doesn't know what they don't know and she doesn't know her own limitations.
