AOC Boyfriend paid by her Chief of Staff

[93henfan]

89, Trip, and any other DC-area property-owners vehemently disagree with you.

I'm OK with this big move as long as it happens after August 2028.

When you retire at the advanced age of 57!

Fist bump!

Anytime some conk gets caught doing something stupid
Conks - Yeah, well what about ____ donk!

Anytime some donk gets caught doing something stupid

We've regressed to the playground

I think conks should be forced to live in high end housing and not recycle.

I’m consistent.

Whiff.

Conks should have big yards and be forced to hire legal citizens to maintain it.

Now, isn't that better?

This is the cute part of progressivism, conservatism, whateverism. The naivety.

I think they truly believe that money will not corrupt their tender snowflakes in DC.

This happens on both sides. Remember the 2010 Tea Party wave who were going to drain the swamp, and then 60 Minutes had video of them on yachts with lobbyists in the Bahamas before the end of January 2011?

It’s almost like just breathing the DC air is enough to corrupt people.

We should move everything to a place where no one really wants to be....Kansas City, Omaha, South Dakota...one of those types of places.

Actually I’ve been saying this for a long time

The State Dept proves daily that constituent offices do not need to be in DC. Nobody relies on courier, mail, or good ol fashioned office visits any more

The entire Bureau of Consular affairs could be in rural NC, for example

This is one reason DoD has such a huge constituency... they have bases spread out all over the place and nobody wants to lose them. The admin side of every single executive agency could be farmed out around the country, creating jobs in places that need them. The only person who needs to be in DC is the Secretary and the Assistant secretaries

This would need to happen in places where there are decent school districts, but those are not exclusive to metro areas

The one thing keeping me from a domestic tour is DC rent. I’d go to Iowa in a heartbeat

Maybe someone else can follow up on something. I Googled about it and got a hit on the Washington Post. The Google search line is "AOC boyfriend: Conservatives spread hoax that Ocasio Cortez hired ..." Unfortunately when I click on any Washington Post article nowadays they want me to pay to read.

Use Google Chrome browser and open an "incognito tab". You won't be limited on articles and can read WaPo. Doesn't work for Wall St Journal though.

The basis of the story is this...claim is made by conservative...AOC and her Chief of Staff totally deny it...MSM, including the Washington Post, do no further research and run with AOCs position...

Man then does research and finds that AOCs Chief of Staff, when he was head of a super-PAC, paid AOC’s boy toy...the became AOC’s chief of staff...

Isn’t that kind of research what “reporters” are suppose to do???

The problem is that I don't know that the man you are talking about is credible. I think there is a big problem with "fake news" right now but I think that, unfortunately, it's not the situation Trump is talking about. I think there is a lot of "fake news" coming from the right. So my initial response is having to see something more than some guy who got kicked off a social media site claiming something. Also need to see something outside of what is generally known as the "conservative media." The "conservative media" are, by definition, biased. They openly trying to promote a point of view. I think the "mainstream media" are left biased. But I also think they are at least TRYING to be objective. They are not established for the specific purpose of promoting either a "liberal" or a "conservative" point of view. The "conservative" media are openly specifically established to promote a "conservative" point of view.

Yup.

On a similar note, Harry Minium is a lifelong reporter in Norfolk, VA. See his response here regarding the blackface/KKK photo of the Virginia Governor. (Gillespie was the guy he ran against in election)
By saying "we blew it" proves your point.

So, do I need to spoon feed you all the facts...or can you do your own research...

FACT: AOC’s boyfriend has a house.gov email address...he is not a spouse, or a staff member... AOC says it’s nothing

FACT: Read the opening posts in this thread...do a little research your self...

If you are referring to CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, et al they aren’t in the least bit trying to be objective, amd they are promoting a liberal point of view. The examples are countless. Heck, just in the last several weeks, in addition to their non stop Trump bashing which has been going on for close to 3 years now, look at their coverage of thr Covington HS kids and of the Mullet guy..

Isn’t AOC too young to have a “boy toy”. That’s cougar territory, mister. Fake news!

I did read the opening posts in this thread and I know about the e mail address. The problem is that we have a conservative media now that take a few facts out of context and spin it into this grand conspiracy thing that's totally out of whack with reality. An example is that Uranium One thing. Absolutely nothing to it. But it persists in the conservative echo chamber as some kind of ominous thing the Evil Clintons did.

So you when one sees stuff like this one has to take their time, try to find credible sources from the mainstream media commentary on it. Etc. And yes, I did say "mainstream media." The "mainstream media" are more credible than the conservative media are.

If the mainstream media start saying Orcasio Cortez did something corrupt I will take it seriously.

Whatever. We've got a real problem in this country with "conservative" media distorting and misleading. That's where the real "fake news" problem is. All of us would be much better off sticking with what is referenced as the "mainstream media" while at the same time recognizing that there is some left bias there.

It would be great if there were media sources with zero bias. But when it comes to credibility something like the Washington Post or NBC News is far more credible than something like Fox News or the Washington Examiner.

If you are pointing fingers at the media having a bias in only one direction then you really have some serious blinders on

There is a curious lack of .... curiosity from the Washington Post on this, and somehow I don't think you are ready to acknowledge that they would be VERY curious if she were a conservative. In reality, I could care less whether she pays the dude or not. Hell she can hire him outright for all I care. She is going to become just as entitled and flaunty as any of the other 500 politicians on the Hill.

But to suggest that somehow this story doesn't merit a little bit of investigative journalism simply because AOC SAYS SO and the WaPo agrees with her is just blind bullsh!t - and that is why I compared you with people spinning Jared Kushner - because it is exactly the same process. As Pogo might have said - you have seen the enemy and he is YOU

WaPo was almost as fast to claim this was a hoax as they were to suggest that a schoolboy in a MAGA hat harassed a native American at the Lincoln Memorial... and that isn't curious at all come to think of it

Have we gotten anywhere close to seeing her rack in this thread? Exactly.

So, screw 25,000 jobs for her district to stick it to Amazon...but take care of the main squeeze...

How Progressive...

Sounds like she is getting settled in to life on the Hill quite nicely.

I haven't read what the Washington Post wrote about the kid in the MAGA hat because they want me to pay to read and I'm not doing that. However, I noted the thing where people said that seeing the whole incident in context changed the initial impression. I looked at the video that was supposed to change the impression. And it did not change the basic impression. The kid in the MAGA hat was, to me, clearly messing with the Native American guy. So I suspect that if I did see what the Washington Post wrote on it I would not agree with your assessment of it.

You obviously are getting your information from a very narrow range of sources.

The full video that clearly debunks the narrative pushed by the media, including WaPo, has already been posted in this forum

Even MJ went into deflect mode and wouldn’t refute it. You are intentionally putting your head in the sand.

Yes I know we discussed the full video on this forum. That's how I accessed it. I don't know about the Washington Post in particular. But the basic story presented by the mainstream media was that the students were having an exchange with some Black guys and the old Native American guy decided to try to come between them. Then he was mocked by the students.

So I looked at the full video and what it shows is consistent with that. And it shows that the guy in the MAGA hat was clearly messing with him. I don't know why MJ would've gone into "deflect mode" because there was no need to. I had numerous posts in the thread with the full video pointing out that the basic story presented by the mainstream media is consistent with what's on that full video.
