What do Democrats see in Ocasio-Cortez?

[Aldebaran]

That's not a new crime, that's elevating the punishment.

And yet it's given the distinct name of "hate crime", rather than an elevated punishment for an existing one.

To Queller,
You have bought all the fake news, or learned it in a liberal university. Believe what you choose.

When you have no response, attack the person.

There is no point to argue, you are brain washed. Btw, illegals cost $116 Billion/per year.

Cite your source.

And the border claims well over 37,000 / month. Is that what you want, an invasion of illegals who just want to suck from society, not to mention criminals posing within to do us harm???

I'm 5x more likely to be killed by a white male American citizen than I am by an illegal alien. What do we do about that?

Why don't you invite some, just family into your home and YOU CARE FOR THEM! ID LIKE TO SEE ALL THOSE RICH HOLLYWOOD LIBS TO TAKE SOME INTO TO THEIR HOMES!!!
Fat chance - they want nothing to do with them, they have big walls around their homes too.

And I'd like to see all the pro-birth people take children that might have been aborted into their homes as well. Won't happen. They just take away the healthcare that might help those post-birth children have better, healthier lives.

 

[Queller]

Good luck with that they won't answer the "ping" when they're proven wrong, as usual.

So many mind readers on the boards these days.

Saving his family from being imprisoned and from being bankrupted by continuously having to hire lawyers to represent him in the "we want you to compose against Trump" interrogation sessions.

smh.

Oh BTW: So Comey went to Capitol Hill in March to brief lawmakers privately. That is when he told them that the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe Flynn had lied, or that any inaccuracies in Flynn's answers were intentional. And that is when some lawmakers got the impression that Flynn would not be charged with any crime pertaining to the Jan. 24 interview.

And they were wrong, weren't they? He did lie, and he admitted it.

 

[Queller]

True, and I still would have been amused at his antics but he wouldn't have needed his guardian angels to give him a "skate from justice" card.

And when there's evidence of this, we'll look at it.

No, it isn't. It's still a murder or assault. Legally there's no "hate crime murder" or "hate crime assault". The "hate crime" part only comes into it during sentencing.

On the state level yes. But "Hate Crime" is a actual federal crime.

Not true at all. It comes in at the very beginning of the investigation. See for yourself how they started out handling the Jussie Smollett case: ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett attack investigated as a hate crime by Chicago police

Great show me the law that says it is a hate crime in and of itself. I'll wait.

Look what the radically left wing Cato Institute has to say about that study. FAIR’s “Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration” Study Is Fatally Flawed

I'm starting to notice a shifting trend in left leaning media outlets. Just the other day Vox posted a pro-life article. Kinda weird, but as I recall back to 2015, this seems to be a trend before election time.

I'm going to assume this is sincere because I can't tell. The Cato Institute isn't leftist at all, bu even they think that FAIR's report is fatally flawed and inaccurate.

 

[Yekcidmij]

Cato is libertarian.

You're correct, and I probably shouldnt have quoted that post, as CATO traditionally leans right: You searched for cato - Media Bias/Fact Check

Nevertheless, it did remind me of that trend, so I figured I'd post. AOC's rhetoric comes straight out of the justice democrat camp, and some moderate dems want to distance themselves from it because they realize that such narratives aren't popular in the US right now.

I would if that was the argument I was making.

Conservative politicians shedding "crocodile tears" over abortions belies the fact that America has one of the highest rates of infant mortality and child poverty amongst developed nations!

Those with a serious interest in combating the underlying causes of abortion in America could have found far better uses for that $1 trillion in government expenditures rather than providing a massive "tax cut" for the wealthy!

Both Republicans and Democrats fear Ocasio-Cortez because she has defied conventional political wisdom by attaining office without succumbing to the corrupting influences of "vested financial interests" - who assumed that they could retain their strangle hold on American politics forever!

Let me guess the studies do not take into consideration the circumstances, citizenship status or mindset of the parents of these children do they?

Or the effects of the war on the middle class by it's own government policies either?

There is, you just have to want to find it not willingly ignore it. Using all of the search engines available on the Internet will broaden your horizons, you get all sides of the story not just the politically correct one.

Sources please.

It's the parents' job to care for their children. When they fail, it's to the Church.

I just worry people believe what comes out of her mouth.

That's exactly the argument you're making; that hate crimes are separate crimes in and of themselves.
