AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Maybe she has a split personality where she gets with the producers and scripts and directors (Ron Howard!) and wants to be more artistic which means leaning more to liberal messages, but in her personal life it is a big stew of MAGA that infects her brain. Or it is just hypocrisy

One of the things that I look back on from the 2010s that I can say I'm a bit ashamed of is the fact that I read that guy's book "Fire and Fury," what was I thinking

Jesus, people, I'm not saying they'll all fall on their swords because we ask politely.

You demand a politician's resignation not because you think it will actually happen, but because you want to make it clear you think it *should* happen, you're that pissed off.

It's a vote of no confidence.
