Her stupidity fascinates me. She's kind of like a zoo animal.

In all seriousness though, the "zoo animal" part of this is over the line IMO.  I understand having a good-natured laugh over AOC's discovery of the garbage disposal, but that's not good-natured.

that place she grew up in was really nice...how many square feet do you think it was?  800?  1000 even?

this narrative that she led some upper middle class privileged life is total bs.

Seriously? Tell us that she didn't live in a nice middle class home and grew up in a nice place and not the Bronx like she claims. So what type of life did she live?

Her house was in Yorktown Heights, a place where the median family income is $137k.  Her father was an architect.

I have. More than a few actually. I used to play chess in Los Angeles right next to a Nation of Islam temple, so these dudes would often come over and play, wearing their bow ties and suits. Very polite, soft spoken. A few of them were quite good players. Never discussed politics with them; not interested in being called a white devil. Just stuck to chess.

What prompted you to write this? The garbage disposal story?

She is in the house of representatives and can't even name the three branches of government.  She does not understand simple concepts about revenues and spending.  She does not understand the difference between lending money and ownership.  She does not comprehend the difference between local government responsibility and federal government.  Her 'plans' have no plan.  She really lives in some kind of fantasy world.

Do you think the garbage disposal story should be added to your list?

Sure, why not?  The whole thought process of first being terrified and then wondering if it is environmentally friendly shows her thought process and how little she thinks before speaking.  Her depth of thought is very limited to far-left rhetoric.

As opposed to Donald Trump who doesn't seem to recognize that there are three equal branches of government, as evidenced by his administrations defiance of requests from Congress that are now resulting in subpoenas.

I’ve wondered if garbage disposals are environmentally friendly.

Neither one should be in government for similar reasons.

I agree but this is the Cortez thread..Trump has 10 of his own threads. Lets keep this thread about Cortez not Trump.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that she’s never seen a garbage disposal. There’s large parts of New York where it’s not allowed- I think if there’s septic tanks.

I won’t comment on the other part of this post, but as to this part- she’s not a stupid woman. At all. You guys seriously understestimate her when you do this. 

AOC graduated from Boston University cum laude. That’s not an easy school to get into; it’s one of the toughest in the entire country particularly in her field (international relations). Her degree is quite impressive. 

She’s naive for sure, impetuous, tweets before she thinks (like Trump), but she ain’t dumb. I disagree with her a lot. But I respect her. 

I also think she’s a very good person. When I read her tweets trying to inform people about getting shots, other public health advice, how much she gives of her time to help the less fortunate- her heart is in the right place.

Meh.  W went to Harvard and constantly had his intelligence questioned.  

 
:yes:

Wouldn’t you think someone who personally lost over a BILLION dollars (“more than nearly any other taxpayer in America”) be vulnerable to shady activity to get out of that hole?

If they became the most powerful public servant in America, wouldn’t you want to see their taxes?

Yeah but that’s because there were strong rumors that W got in  as a family thing. And I don’t think he graduated cum laude. 

Still I always thought his intelligence was underrated too. As was Reagan. And Donald Trump for that matter. You don’t get to be President unless you’re pretty bright. 

But Congresspeople are different. I’ve mentioned before in this thread that there are some really dumb members of Congress: Michelle Bachmann (no longer thankfully), Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters (quite embarrassing that she chairs a committee now), Steve King, etc. But I don’t believe this woman is one of them.

I'm not as impressed with her education as Tim is.

Here naivete and lack of understanding on how the world works is very dangerous given her power.  

 
Since late 1999, I’ve lived in 6 apartments in 5 Brooklyn/Manhattan neighborhoods. Not only have I never had a garbage disposal, I’ve never known anyone living in the city to have one. I’ve seen full bathrooms with no sinks, a loft with the shower stall in the kitchen, W/D units might be anywhere (so long as it’s wet over wet - has to be a bathroom or kitchen in the space directly below.) But garbage disposal? Not since I left Michigan.

Thank you. This is my understanding as well.
