My latest in PJ Media:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Lubyanka) is furious with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona) for daring to stand against the far-Left’s plans for socialism and election-rigging, and she is demanding that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-Sinister) take action, and take action now. She wants him to “make their lives as difficult as possible.” This is the kind of rhetoric that destroys free republics, and AOC should be remembered for it.
AOC was responding to a tweet from Bloomberg congressional reporter Zach C. Cohen: “Sen. Kyrsten Sinema confronted Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor last night about the chamber’s slow voting process, per @StevenTDennis. ‘Could we have some discipline in the votes, ever? You’re in charge!’”
This apparently enraged AOC, who tweeted: “Actually he should continue to make their lives as difficult as possible and treat them the way they treat, say, public housing residents. Or parents who rely on CTC. When they improve, maybe process can improve too. Why should we make the lives of obstructionists easier?” She added: “Cancel vacation. Vote on weekends. Vote for hours. Vote last minute. Call votes when Senators are courting billionaires at fundraisers. They may get apoplectic, but it’s nothing compared to the people they’re forcing to sleep without heat in winter, or losing the right to vote.”
AOC’s hysterical and fact-free claims about public housing residents going without heat and people losing the right to vote aside, holding Senate votes at inconvenient times isn’t really very high on the scale of what can be done to make someone’s life difficult. If all that Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin have to put up with are weekend votes, their lives could be a good deal worse. However, AOC called for making Sinema’s life as difficult as possible four months after Leftist activists followed her into a bathroom at Arizona State University in order to harass her for her opposition to Biden’s handlers’ socialist Build Back Better agenda. Around the same time, Leftists in kayaks harassed Manchin while he was on his boat.
Old Joe Biden dismissed those incidents are “part of the process.” But they weren’t. Intimidating people into being afraid to oppose a political agenda is a hallmark of totalitarian regimes and has never (with some notable exceptions) been a feature of American public life until recently when authoritarians such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Squad colleagues gained ascendancy on the Left.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Wish there was a way to make this ugly brat’s life more difficult and shut her up. She’s such an evil fool and ugly to boot. And getting paid to make trouble for others.
Infidel says
I’m waiting for the face-off b/w her and Schumer. If you remember, she became congressman after beating Joe Crowley, the Dem Caucus Chair. Since she started off as a Democrat giant killer, she should continue in that vein and try and unseat Schumer in the primaries
More than that, I think she’ll be the Dem nominee in 2024. Someone for Trump or DeSantis to run against
somehistory says
I recall that she said she intends to beat chuckie.. Will she be 35 in 24?
Gov. DeSantis or Trump would have her for lunch. A case of indigestion, for sure, but she would fall like old bent cards.
Wellington says
somehistory: The monumental fool, AOC, who also like Biden just makes up stuff and is full of bad ideas, was born October 13th, 1989 and so she will turn 35 in October of 2024 and thus per the Constitution which requires House members to be at least 25, Senators at least 30 and the President (and by implication the Vice-President) to be at least 35 would allow this giant, hollow nothing, this empty and vicious vessel, to be elected President.
God helps us if such a monumentally deficient person ever became the Chief Executive. But wait, that’s what we have right now.
America is drifting and producing, per capita, far more morons than ever before. Makes me think Polybius’ cyclical view of history may very well be correct after all.
somehistory says
Wellington, that kind of gives me a clue as to what the passengers on the Titanic felt when the ship hit the ice, and the lifeboats were full.
I do pray that God helps us. He is our Best Hope. My hope, for sure.
Infidel says
What AOC thinks and feels about Sinema, I used to feel about John McCain. In fact, in retrospect, I’m pretty glad Sinema beat the establishment candidate Martha McSally, who became the nominee thanks to good ole Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who ensured that Kelly Ward didn’t get the nomination. The McCains delivered Arizona to the Dems, and now Sinema is sabotaging them from within. Doesn’t get much funnier than this!
GreekEmpress says
Seconded, Infidel
I’m in AZ, and our politics are pretty entertaining—
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
I first met Dr. Kelli Ward, a physician colleague, back in 2018 at a medical conference when she was running against Martha McSally in the Arizona Republican primary.
We had an extensive conversation.
She is an “America First” conservative, and supports the values of Pres. Trump.
I think that she would’ve made a good senator, but she is doing important work as chair of the Arizona Republican Party.
Infidel says
Yeah, I wish her success. In fact, I wish she’d work to primary Doug Ducey, and replace him either herself, or w/ a more conservative governor: Doug Ducey is a disguised McCain operative who helped deliver Arizona to Biden
In the meantime, I’m happy w/ Sinema, but Republicans should target Sen Mark Kelly next time he’s up
Pray Hard says
Evil incarnate.
Pray Hard says
A sociopath.

AOC Calls on Schumer to Make the Lives of Sinema and Other ‘Obstructionists’ As ‘Difficult As Possible’
……………..
“Obstructionist”–anyone who does not bow to the left’s every demand.
And another good cartoon from Bosch Fawstin.
Don McKellar says
Horsefaces’s teeth aren’t big enough in an otherwise nice illustration. She’s got great big Mr. Ed buck teeth that come out when she gets worked up about suppressing freedom.
Alfredo says
AOC along with the rest of the Squad represent was is fundamentally wrong with the authoritarian and totalitarian Cancel Culture.
An “Obstructionist” is someone with the the courage and mental clarity to stand up against the gang of bullies gaining ascendancy in the old party of the KKK. Nothing new there.
At least public discourse has not degraded to the level of people walking into an office proceeding to brake a cane over an opponent’s head. But I would not be surprised if it does degrade to that level again.
Some unhinged maniac could quite easily misinterpret that’s what the Occasional Cortex means when she uses Twitter, (that platform for Cancel Culture), to insinuate to Chuck Schumer to make life as difficult as possible for those Obstructionists…
Alfredo says
AOC personifies what’s wrong with the wretched Cancel Culture. It is the ugliest, most divisive and corroding aspect of the increasingly fascist Leftards destroying the Republic.
It had to be that Cancel Culture platform, Twitter, the vehicule the Occasional Cortex chose to spew her venom on Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for daring to think for herself, instead of obeying the dictats of the Leftards.
OLD GUY says
AOC has got a little taste of power, went from serving drunks to a world leader over night, must have been one hell of a night. She’s now qualified to meet with world leaders and decide the fate of nations, WOW! What a promotion only in America the land of opportunity.
Alfredo says
It is her ingratitude what is so despicable about AOC.
She’s so ungrateful to the very country that makes it possible for her to go from serving drunks, to meeting world leaders overnight!
An overnight sensation that clearly went to her Occasional Cortex! LOL.
She’s possessed by such delusions of grandeur that she now believes (erroneously of course) that anyone who dares to point out her many flaws, does it only because they allegedly want to date her?
There’s a term that describes perfectly those conceited airheads, and it is quite apropos for her, she’s hopeless floozy…
JHL says
AOC is a narcisstic bitch.
