You should see their demented orange orangutan... oh wait, that's your guy.

As much as I'm opposed to the PC culture, safe spaces, trigger warnings and all that, I think the first priority of every true patriotic American should be to get rid of Trump. He is tarnishing the reputation of the US beyond repair. I have always leaned toward the Left, but I welcome valid criticisms of where it might be going too far. Your criticism of the Left is disingenuous and devoid of logic and content

Trump is like a breath of fresh air after 8 years of that screwball racist idiot Obama!!!

@Trajan61 I believe you must be thinking of someone else. Mr Obama is a highly intelligent, world wise multiculturalist.

@Sofabeast Definetly not! People in my hometown were so disgusted after 8 years of Obama Trump carried 87% of the vote! Obama never did well in rural areas as his ideas were completely looney.

@Trajan61 Define 'looney'

@Trajan61 Calling people names all of the time is not a discussion & only testifies to ones inability to consider other views, form independent conclusions, & expand ones knowledge.

@Countrywoman The liberals are the ones who seem to do most of the name calling on this website.

Poor snowflakes..afraid of the progressives when your man in the W.H is a Putin Puppet...Lolololololololol..

The crazy thing is that she's not 'extreme' left wing at all.

The 'extreme' tax rates she suggests are actually LESS than the tax rates for the wealthy before Ronald Reagan - and she proposes implementing them only on earnings in excess of 10 million a year.

Providing healthcare for all is a concept that the US rejects, but practically every other 'advanced nation' provides. Ditto for providing basic education for the population.

AOC's possition is what, 50 years ago, would be seen as the 'normal possition of politics'.

The Republican party has shifted so far to the right, and into the pockets of corporate business, that it has no interest whatever in the welfare of normal, US people.

The Democratic party has hung on to the Republican coat-tails, becoming more right wing that the Republicans themselves were a few decades back.

The US has a right wing Democratic party, and a hard right (maybe ultra right) wing Republican party - and people who express basic concepts of caring for those who need help, and actually suggesting appropriate taxation on the insanely rich, are declared 'hard left' when, in truth, THEY are the moderates.

I'm forever amazed by those that claim our country was set up as a Republic, and then to prove that idea they want to travel backwards to where only landowners and a select few could vote and also want to deny everyone healthcare and other modern needed benefits. It gets worse when those making $1800 a month (or less) think it is normal for the top percentage to have all the money and those that have not should just accept it and be happy. Then for some reason they believe we will all just go along with these 2 women being "looney" and more "radical." Sorry. Your Orange God is not the type of person we want. Are we "Left" and "leftist?" Left of what? Maybe stupidity.

What utter and complete nonsense. Neither of these women are radical left wing!

To the far-right wackjobs they are. Heck, they even call out their fellow right wingers that don't lick Trump's boots or aren't extreme enough "RINOs."

@AlPastor I'm far far more left wing than any American I have ever met. I oppose the death penalty, personal gun ownership, social care by charities. I approve of our NHS, the welfare state, public ownership of most UK services and some manufacturing, I believe education should always be free at the point of source, as should housing. I approve of liberal, fair benefit systems, fair immigration and HIGH taxes for those benefit the most from our economy...I believe ALL of that and even I am NOT radical left!

This woman will one day run for president. And she will be a more compelling candidate than Obama was. Get used to it.

You are very delusional.

@Trajan61 Says the guy in the bubble.

A country whose government is for the people and by the people, wow! what a concept.

4

were is your brain are you a hater of strong women?

Just foolish overbearing loudmouth women. ????

@Trajan61 But not foolish over bearing loud mouth POTUS. Dude!

Here's a warning loudmouth minority women have only been in Congress a week. Buckle up

This clown is a troll. Don't waste your time.

Your the goddamn clown!

You are correct sir. Time to block that moron!

@RiverRick All he does is name call. "Idiot" is his favorite along with "libtard". Tajan61 thinks because he believes it, then it becomes true. No evidence required. He is similar to the bible bangers in his assessments.I am waiting now for him to call me a name. Actually, I am not waiting. Too boring.

Do you, could you, would you, Ever consider substantive, knowledgeable attacks?
Because the "child sex ring in the basement of the the pizza parlor" (that was built ona slab!!!) Is kinda stale.......

I'm not a fan of Cortez... She's a little out there... But Trump doesn't even have that many brain cells. He's NOT THERE AT ALL.

The left and right are getting more extreme as the GOP goes on its merry way of ignoring everything that comes along. They will all live to regret it when election time rolls around. My fear then is that you will have a bunch on the far left get elected in response to Trump's dumb ass!

Trump has no shot in 2020 as he won't even be running. He will resign within the next year!

Las Vegas favors Trump’s re-election 7-5.

@Trajan61 So... Go bet your money! (And lose!)

4

Girl power!!! Woohoo!!! Say Good bye to misogynistic politicians.... And their supporters... Now things will get done ....

If we do what she wants it will be the downfall of this country.

@Trajan61 the country is all messed up already with Donald Dumpty...

@Trajan61 trumpski and his traitorous criminal family will be the downfall of this country. How you remain oblivious is beyond me. He is running this country into the ground fiscally and socially.

Times sure are changing aren't they?Just wait till 2020 ?

MsAl Level 8 Jan 16, 2019

Trump will be elected in 2020.

@Trajan61 oooohhh, boy, I love me some comedy in the morning!

@Trajan61 , trump can't run while he's in prison.

@AnneWimsey senate map favored the rethuglians in 2020. It favors the dems in 2020. Bring it on. Love will always win over hate.

40 yrs ago Pelosi was having shots with the Republican party after work. She and other corporatists are the reason the Republican Party was/is so successful.

I love how anytime someone in politics demands that we put those who we actually vote for ahead of those who paid for their campaign as being radical, looney or a threat to our democracy.

Especially those who yell from the rooftops that there’s money to accomplish the 3 basic rights as a human. A safe shelter, food and for real clean and safe drinking water and just beyond healthcare and education.

I’m just saying that there’s enough abandoned homes to every American their own and to say that we’d be stripping away profit from the housing industry to that i ask the same industry that has extremely inflated the value homes to the point that in 2008 people just walked away from their homes because in some cases their mortgage was double of the taxable value.

Food isn’t a fucking luxury but yet it’s pricing is betted on the stock exchange. We have farmers who are paid to actually not grow crops so as to not unbalance the market when in fact that same money could be spend to purchase them and issue them out to those who need it or at least their damn children.

And water? The CEO of nestle actually said that it was a luxury and everyone is pissing themselves over a border wall and 2000 troops being brought back from Syria.

To that I say great! Let’s bring them all home and use them to combat the drug flow into this country and to replace our failing infrastructure. It’s actually pathetic that we’re protecting countries that actually use their funding to upgrade and repair theirs.

The 700 billion dollar question is how do you expect to pay these things?
I don’t know maybe we should start with having a defense budget that’s only 3% above that of the next highest spend country.
And stop subsidizing foreign countries and corporations that alone has to be around 500 billion.

Create a flat tax system that closes loopholes for the wealthy and corporations. Also do away with tax refunds. Just saying that if the government has enough money from your taxes that they feel compelled to give it back to you then most likely they’re taking than they should from you or they’re not spending it as they should.

And finally do a full legalization of marijuana and use the taxes from that to support a universal healthcare system. And if didn’t notice that I said support and not to pay for it all because the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries need to lower their cost to some of affordability.

So yeah if wanting what’s right for the American people then I can only hope that one day our government will be an asylum.

Don't feed the troll.

I’m not surprised that you disagree with the flat tax most often do because those who pay for our politicians would actually have to pay their share and for that both parties will always demonize it.

And it has nothing to do with being “ too stupid “ fuckwad it’s about those families that make just enough to have a life better than lower class but don’t make enough to manipulate the tax code in order to get out of the government any taxes or getting a fat thank you for not rebelling against us and enjoy your real Christmas.

But like I said if the same government that says that we can’t afford to support our citizens who aren’t for some legitimate reason able to fulfill the needs of themselves and their families.
But can afford to give tax breaks to the wealthy and refunds to the lower classes either because they’re taking too much or possibly even buying loyalty so that they will hopefully be complacent against the government either way something stinks.

And as far as prohibition goes “ Are you fucking kidding me “ the evidence shows that it not only failed but it damn near destroyed our country and the prohibition against marijuana and other plant based drugs has nearly destroyed several countries. So no that’s a horrible request but nonetheless you’re entitled to your opinions.

All they talk about is going back to the policies of the 40‘s and 50‘s that built the largest middle class in the history of the world at that point.

Why are women so radical?

Good question....

It must be the hormones. ????

@germangirl90439 sounds like a great idea!

Some women use big words that the average trumpanzee cannot understand. To them, it seems that these women are taunting them every time speak. Infuriated, the trumpanzee will often react in a fit of rage. Often, this is marked by a Tweet storm or repeating the mating songs of Fox News.

Because we have had f**king enough of this shite!

@Trajan61 You are incorrect. I held back on saying what I really think.

Okay good night everyone, but first a little something to induce some nightmares.
Don't stare at the eyes too long...

I find it interesting and bemusing that the 'loony left' is what we in Europe call the hard right. With American right wing politics appearing as near fascist extremism!

You are so misinformed. The Republican Party today is more left wing than the democrat party of JFK! And the democrat party is becoming very radical left wing.

@Trajan61 It doesn't look that way. Of course taking on European Liberalist Socialism would be better for the people. Healthcare, workers rights, competent gun control, longer lives, better education, democracy, freedom, fairer conditions for all. I'm going to miss that with Brexit. I liked being a European. I fear that the American right wing style of politics will draw us into conflict as it begins to take hold here.

@Sofabeast I’ll take America over Europe any day. In Europe you have Muslim terriorist running around killing people and don’t even have the right to own a gun for personal protection.

@Trajan61 And in the USA white terrorists running around murdering. In fact the good old USA has far more murders and home grown attacks that all of the extremist terror in Europe.

@Sofabeast I’ll take the USA any day over England!

@Trajan61 To each their own and as Stalin said, quantity has a quality of its own, and the USA has quantity!
As for me, I don't really like England either. Just as well I live in Scotland

That is a response to the insanely destructive ongoing descent of the political right that seems bent on tearing our democracy apart and creating an oligarchic kleptocracy..

It's galling for them to accuse the left of being all of what they actually are.

I just realised that here, with most of you, I found my tribe (and only a few of you are ginger 😉

OAC is to the left that Trump is to the right. Spout keyword nonsense till you get elected.

She has been a centrist all along. Now as for Cortez, a fire brand is needed to keep the flames alight. The right wing has Rep. Steve King.
