Trump to declare national emergency over wall funding

Fox is obsessed with her. I see all my Republican friends on social media have been whipped into a frenzy over her, so I assumed Fox was making her the poster child of the Democratic party.

She is a single congressperson among 435. She has the voting power of .02% in the House, and in congress overall, even less (obviously).

she's good at attracting attention, often by saying dumb things and contradicting herself

hard to resist making fun of her, especially when the Dems themselves consider her the future of their party and often leap to salute her foolishness

on a further note: she calls herself a socialist and helps to sabotage a major investment in NY, which she then ostentatiously celebrates, once again clearly demonstrating that socialists talk about helping the poor but actually they are mainly interested in resenting the rich

Uhhh no. Not in my circles. She's a single congressperson.

Well she is 29 years old and in the house of representatives, so I don't think it's crazy to think that she has a future in politics, more likely than not as a Democrat.
 
It's amusing listening to Republicans pay so much attention to, and constantly ridicule as an idiot, a rookie 29-year-old Congresswoman who holds no leadership positions in the House or in the Democratic Party, when the POTUS and leader of their own party is Donald J. Trump, and his cabinet mostly consists of a ship of fools. At least AOC has started at the bottom in the House and will have to work her way up to be a committee chair or leader in the Democratic Party; the GOP just handed Trump the keys to the WH on his first try.

Right. She’s 29 years old in a deep blue seat. She can stay there as long as she wants. Republicans have made her the future by focusing on her so much.
 
AOC is smarter than almost every GOP Congressperson and will continue to clown them day in, day out for as long as they request such abuse
 
Well, this debacle is going to become increasingly complicated and litigious.


Trump Threatens To Cancel California's $929 Million High Speed Rail Grant

..."California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars. They owe the Federal Government three and a half billion dollars. We want that money back now," Trump said.

Newsom responded with his own tweet, saying, "Fake news. We're building high-speed rail, connecting the Central Valley and beyond. This is CA's money, allocated by Congress for this project. We're not giving it back. The train is leaving the station — better get on board! (Also, desperately searching for some wall $$??)"

In a statement Tuesday, Newsom said the Trump administration's threat "is clear political retribution" tied to California's involvement in a lawsuit challenging the president's emergency declaration to build a border wall.

Trump himself connected the two issues in a tweet Tuesday, "As I predicted, 16 states, led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left, have filed a lawsuit in, of course, the 9th Circuit! California, the state that has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train, with no hope of completion, seems in charge!"...

Trump Threatens To Cancel California's $929 Million High Speed Rail Grant

Our POTUS, whom the vast majority of Republicans (around 85-90%) adore, does vindictive crap like this all the time, and his cabinet officials are a cesspool of corruption, venality, and incompetence, yet both they and right-wing media are obsessed with a rookie Congresswoman. It's the old "pay no attention to what's happening here - look over there!" switcheroo. They currently have the power to do real and lasting damage, she doesn't. Having said that, I'd take her over Trump and Don, Jr., Mnuchin, Perry, Carson, DeVos, etc. in a heartbeat.

You get they're intentionally building her status up so they can use her as a boogeyman, right?

Like they used Pelosi as a boogeywoman en route to losing 40 seats?

Good luck with that.
