Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Can you endure 20 minutes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trying to look like she understands climate change, economics, manufacturing, farming and indigenous issues, without reaching for a sick bag or strong drink?
When the Green New Deal originally reached the senate, all the Republicans voted against, and Democrats voted “present”, allegedly in protest at Republicans forcing an early vote, but in my opinion more likely because they didn’t want to have to answer questions from their voters.
Occasio-Cortez seems to believe that the reason people oppose her brainchild is they don’t understand that if the GND is passed, everyone will have a guaranteed job, all native treaties will be honoured, everyone will have free healthcare and the nation will run on affordable 100% renewable energy.

Eric, it’s almost dinner time on the east coast (right now it’s 5:32 Newfie time) and you’ve posted a barf challenge? How dare you?!!!
Hopefully, I’m the first to link the barf-o-rama scene from the movie “Stand By Me”:
Regards,
Bob
Bob she’s the same indoctrinated entitled dimwit that said this ” “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.”
…she can’t spell poverty
Her previous job on the C.V. was “Easy Barmaid” [wink;nudge] soooooo ….
Well, I have to chime in. This New Green Deal which isn’t new nor is it green is not the brainchild of AOC. It’s just the same Old Green Deal deception marketed and pushed by the UN quite some time ago to take control of everything. Al Gore picked it up and ran with it…off a cliff. This time they chose a young woman, with the charm and mannerisms of a female Castro, gave her the appropriate talking points to push with none of the answers, one being: how to fund their reorganizing and demands of everyone’s life under green socialism. Everyone gets a good job with good pay? lol. If gov could do that, they’d be doing it now. Socialism dictates. Your good job may be a street sweeper. Since their rhetoric hasn’t worked so well, they bring on the kids-Greta for one, and teach the lies in school. Smacks of desperation.

You’ll be OK providing you have the strong drink handy 🙂

If you have ever been constipated and need a means of relief, watch this while sitting on the throne.
No, no and no!! I’m sick thinking about it. Stupid doesn’t begin to describe the GND.
But it DOES begin to describe EVERY aspect of AOC
you know…..
AOC, Warren, Sanders, Biden….all of them
The democrat party has become the party of total loons
From an outside perspective, it looks like the democrats are just trying to be exactly like the republicans. After all, if loony behaviour got Trump elected, why not try the same technique. Copy-cats!
You do know that Trump owned and ran 500 companies before becoming a politician don’t you?
Trump has demonstrated competence. Say what you will about his mannerisms, but he’s no fool.
500? And, please, don’t forget the bankruptcies.
Retired Jim
Are you a bridge player? A good bridge player goes down one in three, otherwise they are underbidding.
I think I have gone into business nine times, with two surviving. No bankruptcy but heck, that is more like an accident of history. I think acumen is underestimated and political gamesmanship skills over-rated. At least an experienced businessman can look at a contract and say, “No one should have signed this deal.” Think NAFTA
If someone can’t run a bakery, how will they guide a government? Bread doesn’t bake itself.
He who never made a mistake never made anything.
Retired engineer Jim, only someone who has never built businesses and taken risks would say such a stupid thing. And that is not a statement in support of Trump. Put the TDS aside, stop listening to the propaganda media and try to think rationally.
“If you think you have everything under control, then you aren’t going fast enough.”
Mario Andretti
If “loony behavior” elected trump, then there is no adjective to describe the sort of behavior that would elect the Green New Deal. We would have to invent an entirely new word to describe this level of mass stupidity.
Trump has accomplished 189 noteworthy things– four times more than I expected but only half of what still needs to be done!
The Democrats want to undo all of Trump’s accomplishments and continue with Obama’s decline of our country to third-world status!
That’s the only way the globalists could make Communist China the sole superpower!
Now you know why their hatred for Trump is all-consuming, and why they hate his supporters just as much!
Looney? It’s not bragging (loonie) if one has done it, and no one that ‘has done it’ has not made mistakes. God does not make perfect men, God makes men perfect for the job.
It really is sad how liberals define themselves as the standard against all other things must be measured.
Trump doesn’t act the way liberals believe the proles should act, therefore he’s looney.

I’m convinced the Bilderberg Group et. al are enjoying the Trump economy so much, they’ve ordered the opposition to throw the election. Bernie and friends couldn’t possibly gibber more nonsense if they had Trump’s campaign writing it for them.
I hope someone with a stronger stomach than mine will let us know if eliminating cows and airplanes is still in the raving lunatic scheme?
Thanks!
John Tillman, I think you are close to suggesting a scientific experiment, ie, how many strong drinks (recommended by Eric W) do you need to consume before watching the video of her presentation of the Green Weenie Deal, before it starts to make sense? I had two glasses of wine with my dinner and it wasn’t enough, so the experimenters need to start with three drinks and go up from there. Isn’t science wonderful?
RE: Watch AOC Read the Entire Green New Deal Resolution
Given an option, I’d rather shave my head with a cheese grater, while chewing on aluminum foil. It would be less painful….
+10
I’d rather go lick doorknobs in Wuhan China right now than watch AOC on TV.
@J Mac LMFAO
@David and Joel, too!
I made it to 2:40, sorry I cant take anymore!
At 3:10 she is prartling on about how CC will cause economic damage of $500M by 2100 then about Sea level rise causing a further $1B from inundation by 2050.
Yet her GND will only cost $93B over 10 years to avoid that $1.5B in damages and economic losses by 2100.
At about 5:00 she starts talking about worker pay level stagnation since the 70’s causing De-industrialization like she views ending industrialization as a problem needing a cure.
I thought the Watermelon goal WAS to end the Industrialization of the developed nations and transfer wealth to
their pocketsthe developing nations.I only listened till 6:30 and stoods all I coulds.
The one thing I gathered from it is her over use of A B C and 1 2 3
Just before she started reading her GND manifesto she is complaining that not a single senator that is complaining about it “has opened a single word of it” How in the check do you open a word?
LOL, your first paragraph is really the kicker. Only somebody whose “economics” degree proves what worthless pieces of paper “college degrees” have become can think it’s remotely sane to spend $93 Billion to avoid damages of $1.5 Billion.
LOL, scrolling down, it’s even worse than I thought (LOL).
She’s suggesting spending $93 TRILLION to avoid (imaginary) “damages” of $1.5 BILLION.
Well Jimminy Christmas there I go typing “B” instead of “T” and not proofreading…Oh the Shame
AAAH hates it when AAAH does that
Actually, “Green NEW Deal” should be “OLD Green Deal”, as it was first promulgated by the Club of Rome cabal back in the ’70s.
Mind you, it was cr@p then, and has now just festered for a further 50 years, so reeks even worse.
See, all you skeptics who claimed she hadn’t read rather bill are shredded!
She certainly stumbled through it enough to make it seem like she didn’t read it prior and didn’t have a hand in writing it either
AOC better work on her reelection effort. There ae a lot of people looking to win that job away from her.
I didn’t bother listening to her. Everytime I listen to her, she never makes any sense, so I assume she won’t make any sense this time, either.
I hear she h as 12 primary challengers…likely every one is more founded in reality than this poor thing!
When AOC heard she had 12 primary challengers, she replied “I didn’t know New York let 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders run for Condress!“
If she doesn’t get re-elected, she’ll likely have her own talk show. A suggested title “Vapid is as Vapid Does”. That’s the only clean one I could think of.
I lasted two minutes! Most of the time it was spent marvelling at how well that young lady, whose name I forget, imitates AOC. Enough time spent on that, thanks all the same Eric. 🙁
Armed with readings from the Green New Deal, Alexandria Occasional-Cortex could have stood in for Tomás de Torquemada the Torturer
Had to stop at 6:30. She’s difficult to follow when she speaks (rather disjointedly).
From the first 5 minutes (with the presumed cost of the GND is $93T over 10 years) GND needs to be in place to stop the potential losses from climate change of $500B by 2100 and to eliminate the possibility of damages from Coastal Erosion and inundation offsetting the potential costs of $1T by 2050
So to save $1.5T in potential Climate related expenses by 2050 and a further coastal flooding issues by 2100 the GNE demands that we spend $93T over the next 10 years.
And at just over 5 minutes in AOC is ranting about wage stagnation since the 1970’s due to De-Industrialization??? I thought that the purpose of the GND (at least the goal of the EcoFascists) was to force De-Industrialization … am I missing something????
OK, you guys are mixing me up with the Billions vs. Trillions thing.
So it’s $93 TRILLION to avoid an imaginary $1.5 TRILLION, right?
STILL proving that an “economics degree” is held by “graduates” who can’t add and subtract. The university this ditz “graduated” from should have its accreditation revoked, pronto.
Correct…Trillion$ not Billion$
She had a “brainchild”?
Poor kid.
(Are we 100% certain of just who was Greta’s Mom?)
More like a Brain Fhart
AOC is making it very difficult for her fellow Dimwits who are in not-so-secure Congressional districts to get re-elected this coming November
Please continue Ms Ocasio-Cortez. And make sure Americans understand YOU are the face and core of today’s Democratic Party.
“Please continue Ms Ocasio-Cortez. And make sure Americans understand YOU are the face and core of today’s Democratic Party.”
Not to mention the brains. And that ain’t saying much…
Vogon legislation? Is it worse than the poetry?
Nope, didn’t even last the first minute. Vocal fry frog voice is always a killer for me in speeches delivered by today’s females…here, you have that plus the idiotic “arguments”…
Having worked as a bouncer and bartender whilst in college I early on started developing a BS detector. As I matured I found it necessary to continue to strengthen this skill; making it difficult for me to listen to ANY politician or salesman now. I cannot imagine listening to this imbecilic twit unless under threat of intense pain or harm! This might be a good test for the ability to withstand torture! Perhaps our military could use it as an added level of training for aviators and special forces operators who might be captured by our enemies!
Pipe it through Getmo and see if the ACLU complains
I skipped to the last few minutes.
Using Mann’s “The Cause” as an excuse for radical socialism hands down.
(If it succeeds, maybe Sanders will let her serve him his drinks?)
I listened to the whole thing. What’s not to like? I’m mildly surprised she didn’t promise a unicorn in every garage and pot in every bong.
I see what you did there.

Finally! Something to help my chronic insomnia! I’d rather fry in a global apocalypse than have to listen this tedious c**p. I can’t believe this little lass actually takes herself seriously; she can’t even read her own nonsense. Did someone actually vote for her? I thought we had some useless politicians in Scotland; I just can’t believe that American democracy brought AOC!
This poor woman is dumb.
The primary definition of “dumb” is lacking the ability to speak. AOC can speak, albeit most annoyingly. She is just straight-up stupid. If she were truly dumb, we would be most fortunate.
No, this poor woman is a bought-and-paid-for SOCK PUPPET for the “usual suspects.” The ravings of her former chief of staff about “reordering the world economy” were your first hint.
Sooo … AOC is the Apprentice, Who is the Sith Master?
The district AOC won votes, reliably, Democrat so, if a glass of water had been put up as the Democrat candidate, it would have won the election. A glass of water would be an improvement over AOC.
Cheers
Max
I thinks was Pelosi who said that.
The is true of her own district.
I wish they’d put a glass of water. I know how to treat that.
(36 years in the field of water treatment.)
Okaaaay … 20+ minutes of nonsense .
But it’s warmer inside than outside here …. so I listened to it .” 99% of coral reefs will die ! ”
The sky is falling ! ( translation )
A whole lot of impossible ” proposals ” based on nothing even close to reality .
Keep on , you will ensure another four years of Trump .
Maybe SNL will take pity on her ….
😉
I lasted all the way until the part where she said :Thank you to m…”, and I could take no more.
I couldn’t get past the wide-eyed, mouth open PICTURE to listen to even ONE second of this.
The sheer volume of already proven to be BS IPCC Claims listed in the first 4 minutes finally caused me to turn this Imbecile off.
Let me guess … she did NOT include this sentence which was in her original presentation.
“and a basic minimum income for everyone, whether they are willing to work or not.”
{i love the use of the word “income.” ‘Yep, keep that distribution incoming, baby.’}
Don’t let anyone tell you she did not say that. She did. Her buddies all had a heart attack and made her redact that phrase immediately. Too late. We all saw it.
It is the true wet dream of collectivists, especially Progressives: “I don’t have to do anything. Just by wanting it and being alive, it will magically come to me.” And they are angry this does not seem to function very well at the present time. And so: Bernie.
