Ocasio-Cortez recants with insult: I Was Joking About World Ending In 12 Years, and you’re an idiot if you believed me
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she was joking around when she claimed the world was going to end in 12 years if we do not take serious action against Climate Change, a declaration she’s been widely criticized over. The 29-year-old socialist mocked the Republican Party for taking her claim about the end of the world seriously, which she suggested was a combination of “dry humor + sarcasm.”
AOC in a tweet published on Mother’s Day:
She looked dead serious to me when she first said it:

Hey AOC,.. Disinformation and fear mongering is NOT a joke. It’s PLANED and deadly serious in its’ intent.
If it was, as you say a joke,.. you would have let followers know immediately, out of respect for them and others.
Just another reason to NEVER take you seriously and to know that you are a very dangerous person to give power to. Your agenda is also not a joke. It is deadly and suicidal to everyone else but you and your elites.
“It’s PLANED and deadly serious in its’ intent.”
Ya gotta love a nice, well-sanded joked.
” well-sanded joked”
Isn’t there a law or something that comments on spelling mishaps always contain a spelling mishap? I wonder what mine will be?

What someone told her was that if we don’t take action in 12 years, the world will end. Who knows what she heard out of that. Maybe she heard it correctly and misspoke, or she understood it incorrectly and thought the world was ending in 12 years. Either way, she’s an idiot.
Proving once again that my name for her is correct:

Coherent
Nope, she’s never coherent. Obsolete-Cortex is better. Or Obtuse-Cortex.
“I can’t be trusted.”
Meanwhile, in the ‘I find this hard to believe too’ section of the BBC … yadda yadda I dived deeper than anyone before and saw a plastic bag down there . . suchlike.
I guess someone dropped it around 600 years ago if it was just the bag.
She’s had to try and walk it back because 12 years is to close of a time horizon for the end of the world and people will see that it’s a hoax.
At 30 to 40 years to the end of the world those who are cashing in on the hysteria will have made their money before people catch on.
The big problem is that with her age now most claims she will be alive to see the dates arrive. With advances in medicine you have to assume she will live another 70 years. To cover herself needs 100 years forecasts again.
Her being alive in twelve years is really iffy. If she loses another brain cell, her brain will be incapable of controlling autonomous functions, and she will forget to breath.
“she will forget to breath.”
Or breathe even.
You are an idiot if you don’t understand that everything she says is a joke.
In this way, she’s a lot like Trump, talking off-the-cuff and choosing words that look pretty bad when taken out of context. I suppose that’s a big part of what people like about her and Trump, they don’t come across as polished politicians.
She probably really believes the IPCC; ‘we have 12 years to make major moves away from fossil fuels’.
I think it’s better to talk about the science than her choice of words.
Bad analogy – Trump has solid fundamentals behind his ‘off-the-cuff’ remarks – this woman’s logical base is non-existent. And the basis of Trump’s appeal is what he’s DOING.
Substance versus propaganda, even though Trump has learned propaganda – or in his case, it’s really more ‘marketing’ and encouraging positivity.
And Ocasio-Cortez very clearly said, many times, ‘the world WILL end’ – not 12 years to ‘make major moves’ – and she did so from the position of an elected representative.
I don’t think she CARES if what she says is true.
That’s just it, AOC’s words were taken entirely in context, the whole paragraph was quoted in its entirety!!! And the one(s) before it and the one(s) after it!!! And still she sounded like she believed every stinking word that was coming out of her mouth, and that’s what made her sound bats**t crazy!!!
Translated as I made a complete A$% of myself and I am trying to find an out. I wonder if she was kidding when she was happy Amazon left NYC to. Just kidding Jeff come back.
“Amazon left NYC to.”
To what?
Why does it take so long for comments to appear?
No one seems to know.
Anthony’s moderation settings. Comments from each previous 60 minutes post as batch process, usually just after the top of every hour. Maybe around hh:02 to hh:08 after each hour, all the previous submitted comments show up all at once.
His house, his rules. I’m fine with that. I just think he should make that clear and transparent in his posting guidelines.
Mine show up as soon as I post them.

We would never ban your shadow.

The end of the world is nigh. The prophecy predicts a progressive (e.g. catastrophic) process of cooling, warming, disruption… change of something or other.

When your thoughts aren’t your own, who can tell what you mean when you speak?
“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it.”
This is a technique of democrats, take everything they are guilty of and accuse the republicans of doing it.
Indeed, one need only peruse any of the left-leaning “fact check” sites to find pages and pages of taking “dry humor + sarcasm” literally in order to “fact check” it. Many (if not most) of the “hundreds of Trump lies” that the MSM touts is exactly of the taking “dry humor + sarcasm” literally in order to “fact check” it variety.
That cartoon, she says RUN!! where would one run to? It should say PAY!!
I would rather have the “social intelligence”, whatever that is, of a sea sponge than the intelligence of a sackful of hammers like the political hack AOC.
What else has AOC been kidding about?
How do we tell when she is kidding or not?
Was she kidding about doing away with airplanes?
Was she kidding about doing away with cows?
Was she kidding when she called Trump a racist?
Inquiring minds want to know.
She hasn’t been kidding about anything.
THAT’S what her handlers are trying to hide.
Just need to push and tell the faithful to look at all the lies.
Civilization is more apt to end because of fools like Cortez. It’s scary to think that there are probably more people out there just as completely clueless as she is.
Most people don’t wait 4 months to respond to criticism and say “I was just joking”… But then, she’s part of the cabal who insist that President Trump’s clear joke (and claimed as such immediately) that “maybe Russia can get us Hillary’s e-mail” was absolutely serious and worthy of impeachment.
Yes but can she mix a Slippery Nipple?
I think we’ve all encountered that person who says something vile and stupid, that they firmly believe, and then says they’re just kidding to escape a, well deserved, beat down. IF AOC was attempting to troll her detractors she waited far too long to say she was ‘just kidding’. She’s already been delivered a beating in the public square and is now just trying to milk some pity-points out of her, idiot, base.

Oh, the irony!
The Green New Deal is a joke, right?
Ha ha ha, AOC,that was a good one!
Natural Sea Sponges are some of the simplest multicellular organisms alive. They do not have brains, digestive, circulatory or nervous systems and, once rooted, do not move.
Now who’s the sea sponge again ?
These people believe that Jeff Bezos has 130 billion in cash lying around.
The Big Green blob was NOT amused with her illiterate comments, her joke of a GND that she and Markey put out that got laughed at in the Senate vote.
The minds behind the Green Blob, make no mistake, are NOT comprised of idiots. They are deadly serious with gaining power and control at any cost. AO-C was put in her place the month or so by some very serious people in the Democratic Party ranks and their powerful allied-forces behind the Climate Scam.
Hitler and his band of thugs were the butt of jokes after arrest for his Beer Hall Putsch. But it wasn’t a joke once he seized power in 1933. And no one was laughing when he enacted his Final Solution, or atrocities across Europe with his armies and butcher-thug SS. No one was laughing in in 1945 as the death camps for people the national socialists considered “inferior” came into focus.
Understand what these people that are now controlling AO-C are dangerous thugs who will stop at nothing for power and control. And people like Creepy Joe Biden, a man who has been in Washington for 47 years, are their useful idiot puppets.
Today’s Democratic Party socialists are so determined to take the White House from Trump in 2020, they are literally using pages from Hitler and his Mein Kampf playbook from 1924 to his becoming Reich Fuhrer in 1933. Mein Kampf was the introduction to the German people of all the things Hitler believed and wanted to do.
The Left is going to publish something similar this fall on a Big Green Deal to the American public.
They also have their black-attired shock troops getting ready.
What we have going on right now quietly, is the ANTIFA groups are being recruited and organized in preparation for 2020 primary candidates’ rallies and general election rallies to oppose Trump. To incite violence at his rallies, use fake “conservatives” to start problems, to make him look like he is the problem for Middle America to recoil from.
ANTIFA is of course known for their signature all-black attire, with hoods (and face covers if they can legally get away with that in that jurisdiction). Ground Zero today for Antifa organization is Portland,OR on the West Coast and No.Virginia for the East Coast, but they have national plans for all the states where Trump will have rallies and must win if he wants to be re-elected (purple Must-win states).
Hitler had his brownshirts in the early years before he became Fuhrer, called Sturmabteilung.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung
Mussolini had his similar thugs who wore black, called “blackshirts” in Italian, Camicie Nere, CCNN, singular: Camicia Nera, or squadristi (singular: squadrista). The founders of the paramilitary groups were nationalist intellectuals (much like many of today’s Antifa leaders consider themselves “intellectuals”), their in 1920’s Italy were usually peasants and country people who were resistant to urban elitism. Today the US Left calls simply “deplorables,” for their support of Trump and conservative ideas, their resistance to unchecked illegal immigration, and resistance to the climate scam and the Left’s social Marxism in general.
The modern US political model is of course to FIRST write book. Hillary has done this numerous times to try and define herself. Obama had his books of course. Every contender for office of President that has any serious possibility and support now has a published a recent book about his/her self. Hitler of course had his Mein Kampf to introduce himself and his ideas to the German people.
What we can expect probably by the coming Fall of this year is to see a Mein Kampf-style Big Green Book from the Democrats. It will be a hyped, flashier, more competently written, filled-out version of the idiotic AO-C/Markey GND (with the absurdities left out), or at least cleverly disguised. It will be authored and endorsed by ALL the Democrats’ candidates that lays out what they are going to try and sell in 2020 on all the regular climate change alarmism and imminent extinctions, and collapsing environment to voters. And the NYTimes of course will be enlisted to promote it on their Best Seller’s List.
We’ll be able immediately recognize the Big Green Book-Mein Kampf book because Barack Obama (or someone of similar public recognition) will ‘write’ the Forward to the book with all the typical alarmist rhetoric and why action “must taken” to fight climate change. But make no mistake, it will be the Left’s climate manifesto to ultimately seize power through legal means the ballot (just as Hitler initially did, and as did Hugo Chavez) and before “Moving On” to destroy the foundational individual liberties in the US.
Thanks for posting this. I missed it on MSM. I always look for something from her to make me laugh in the morning. Used to be blonde jokes, but AOC has usurped that position. She is the embodiment of “open mouth, insert foot”.
Try “open mouth, change foot”! Works better for these types!
Three AOCs walk into a bar ….
You’d think one of them would have seen it…
