When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) appeared on the ABC talk show “ The View ” on Wednesday morning , conservative cohost Meghan McCain did not hesitate to confront her about the perils of socialism and about the despicable behavior of the so-called “ Bernie Bros ” who support Bernie Sanders , the New York congresswoman ’ s candidate of choice .
“ I ’ m really glad that you decided to come and talk to us , ” McCain began after Ocasio-Cortez ( AOC ) sat down .
“ I feel like you ’ re the boogie woman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bogey-woman of the left so it ’ s interesting to be talking to you.
” McCain went on to say that as a proud conservative , she believes that “ big government is very , very dangerous.
” She also said that in the eyes of her and other Republicans , Sanders ’ “ complete paradigm shift of the American system ” is “ like the apocalypse.

“ It ’ s funny because progressive policies are always talked about in 10-year price tags , conservative policies are always talked about in one-year price tags , ” the liberal congresswoman said , adding that the military budget has gone up $ 100 billion since President Donald Trump took office .
“ We don ’ t ask how he pays for that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talk about big government , we don ’ t talk about big government interjecting themselves into the bodies of women and gender-nonconforming people for anti-choice policies .
So I ’ m happy to talk about the reduction of government ’ s role in places that I think are harmful.
” After AOC talked in circles for a few minutes about the various ridiculous ways Sanders ’ allegedly plans to fund his plans , McCain moved on to a topic in which she hoped they could find more “ middle ground.
” “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” McCain said .
“ The one thing that connects women on the left and women on the right , I have found at least a lot of guest co-hosts , a lot of guests that have come on over the three years I ’ ve been here , is the abuse that we have all been subjected to by the Bernie bros. ” “ It is by far , of anything I ’ ve ever seen in my life , the most violent , most misogynistic , the most sexist , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cried over doctored photos that Bernie brothers have sent me , ” she added .
“ He has a real problem and I don ’ t think he ’ s doing enough to tamper it down.
” McCain concluded by asking AOC as an “ extremely powerful woman…How do you feel that he ’ s attached to this deeply misogynistic—and I would go so far as to say violent—sector of people ?

“ I think that to a certain extent we have to always reject hate , reject vitriol , and denounce that kind of behavior , ” AOC said , going on to say that “ anonymous ” actors online are “ difficult to control.

” an undeterred McCain asked of Sanders .
“ I think he works very hard , ” AOC said , saying that Sanders has sent “ message emails ” out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then tried to shift the conversation to blasting ICE and CBP officer who mocked her in a private Facebook group .

Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg , speaking at a campaign rally in Utah , told so-called ‘ dreamers ’ that America is every bit their country as it is the average citizen ’ s .
The former mayor of South Bend , Indiana , speaking both English and Spanish , sent a message to illegals that this is their country too .

The platform that illegal immigrants have every right to this country as it’s citizens is nothing new to Pete – he’s been espousing such nonsense for some time now.
Last week he echoed the same sentiment to a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient who questioned him at a League of United Latin American Citizens Presidential Town Hall.
“I want you to know that I see you as an American, that you belong to this country as much as anybody,” Buttigieg said to cheers. “And I think everyone here supports you too.”
With a nod toward mass amnesty for ‘dreamers,’ Buttigieg added: “You’re not only contributing to your community. You’re a taxpayer, too, and it is one of the reasons it is so important to secure the benefits of citizenship for you.”

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is happy as a lark after Pres. Donald Trump commuted his 14-year prison sentence on Tuesday to the point; he declared himself a “Trumpocrat.”
Blagojevich expressed his gratitude to Trump with reporters in a Denver airport after he was released when he said; “He’s got a big fan in me, if you’re asking me what my party affiliation is, I’m a Trumpocrat.”
“He obviously didn’t have to do this,” he continued. “He’s a Republican president, I was Democratic governor, and my fellow Democrats haven’t exactly been very nice to him,” he continued.

Blagojevich is correct. Trump didn’t have to do this, but the President knows how to use the media like puppets. They dance to the beat of his drum, and whatever he wants them to talk about, all Trump has to do is drop a nugget.
What’s better to overshadow a Democratic debate than to release a former Democratic governor with a pardon along with others. Trump is a mastermind right now and couple that along with the campaign rallies planned for the states conducting Democrat primaries and caucuses and he’s doing things never seen by a sitting president to overshadow the other party.
The ex-governor attempted to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat and went to prison for it. Rightly so, an attempted crime is still a crime, whether the crime succeeds or not. (He floated the idea around in conversation but never actually went through with it.)
In 2011, Blagojevich was convicted of wire fraud, attempted extortion, soliciting bribes, conspiracy to commit extortion, and conspiracy to solicit and accept bribes, and sentenced to 14 years in prison. The year before, he appeared on The Apprentice, where he bombed a Harry Potter-related task. Trump admonished him for sharing “inaccurate” facts about the boy wizard, and once Blagojevich began blathering about “Slithering and Hufflepuff and Ravencloth,” it was all over. On Tuesday, Trump announced he had commuted Blagojevich’s sentence, but didn’t mention anything about once firing him from his reality show. “He served eight years in jail, a long time,” Trump said. “He seems like a very nice person — don’t know him.” Reporters spotted Blagojevich on Tuesday night, as he prepared to board a flight from Denver to Chicago. Blagojevich shared that while in prison, he thought a lot about the “broken and unfair criminal justice system” and how there are “too many people who have too much power who don’t have any accountability.” He expressed his “most profound and everlasting gratitude to President Trump,” adding that “he’s a Republican president, I was a Democratic governor. My fellow Democrats have not been very kind to him — in fact, they’ve been very unkind to him. If you’re asking me what my party affiliation is, I’m a Trumpocrat.” [The Week]

Many people I know agree that Blagojevich did receive a comparatively very harsh sentence. If the severity of the sentence was intended to set an example and send a message to other would-be corrupt politicians, did it work? Have Chicago politicians become any less corrupt as a result of this example?
In addition to serving years in prison, Blago’s political career is over, and his reputation is permanently stained. (All jokes aside about his proven corruption being ideal credentials for a job in Democrat politics.)

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-19--Chris Matthews Frets: If Bernie Wins the Nomination ‘We’ll Lose 49 States’

MSNBC host Chris Matthews is sounding the alarm suggesting that if the Democrat party goes all-in on radical socialist , Bernie Sanders , President Trump will wipe the floor with them on Election Day .
In discussing how the other candidates have withheld their fire against Sanders and his radical policies , Matthews predicted the ultimate outcome would be Trump winning 49 of 50 states .
Or is it 57 , Barack ?
“ They ’ re [ other candidates ] just pandering to the Bernie people and you know what pandering gets you ?
Nothing , ” the MSNBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t get you respect.
” “ They ’ ve got to get out there and say I disagree with socialism ; I believe in the markets ; I think he ’ s wrong , ” Matthews continued .
“ I think you ’ ll never get it done and this country will never go that direction , by the way we ’ ll lose forty-nine states.
” Safe to say , Chris has no thrill going up his leg for Bernie ’ s socialist candidacy .
There is a lot to unpack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least of which is how his prediction will probably come true .
We ’ ll get to that in a minute , however .
Let ’ s begin with how the MSNBC host , who wants to convince viewers that he and his network are not an arm of the Democrat party , framed the comment .
Why would he consider that a personal loss ?
A rhetorical question , of course .
Also worth considering , Mr. Matthews , is the possibility that Democrats aren ’ t exclusively pandering to Bernie ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the extreme elements of the fringe left and are supportive of his socialist policies and platforms .
It ’ s not exactly a far-fetched notion for a party that has conformed to Bernie ’ s acolytes on impeachment hoaxes and theatrics from top to bottom .
Now back to our initial analysis – that Matthews may very well be right when he says the Democrats will suffer incalculable electoral losses on Election Day .
A new ABC/Washington Post poll shows the socialist curmudgeon dominating the field while more palatable choices amongst party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his dreams of American socialism are popular amongst the extreme left , it remains extremely unpopular to the rest of America .
A new poll found only 28 % of Americans have a favorable view of socialism , while 58 % have an unfavorable impression .

Bloomberg Comes Under Fire For Calling Transgender People ‘It’ And ‘Some Guy With A Dress’ Months Ago

Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has come under fire for past comments he made once again , this time for remarks he made less than a year ago about transgender people .

“ I saw that … Senator Murphy met with the Iranians ; is that a fact ?

For a party so concerned with outside election interference , meeting with a terrorist nation to blunt any perceived benefits that military action might have against a rogue terrorist nation seems highly suspect .

“We certainly worry that while the window closes for mediation [between Iran and the U.S.] the aperture may open for the president to act in provocative ways that may provide him electoral benefit.”
The statements suggest Murphy wasn’t just trying to circumvent foreign policy, but the meeting had his own electoral concerns and benefits in mind.
For a party so concerned with outside election interference, meeting with a terrorist nation to blunt any perceived benefits that military action might have against a rogue terrorist nation seems highly suspect.
That said, the Logan Act has been consistently unenforceable and gets little media attention – unless the violator happens to be an associate of Trump.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Senator Murphy said in 2017 regarding former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn.
Murphy’s own words seem to indicate that he himself may have acted illegally and the allegations ‘must be taken seriously.’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted pausing briefly when she came upon a transcript page in the State of the Union regarding a soldier ’ s touching homecoming … and shredding it anyway .
Pelosi , in an interview with CNN , described the moment she went unhinged at the conclusion of the SOTU and started ripping pages of the speech given to her by President Trump .

But she did it anyway !

“ I almost did when the soldier was coming home , that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bottom of the page and there he goes again.
” Earlier this month , Pelosi demanded social media giants Facebook and Twitter remove an ad that transposed her shredding of the SOTU beside several emotional and terrific moments during the President ’ s speech .

And , of course , the Williams Family from Fort Bragg , North Carolina , who were reunited during the speech with Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams who had been serving on his fourth deployment .

Though video evidence seems to indicate the lead Democrat pre-meditated her actions by inflicting small tears into the pages prior to the meltdown, Pelosi has insisted the historically disrespectful act was spontaneous.
The lone moment, according to the Speaker, where she gave pause, was a page involving one of the more emotional moments during the evening – a soldier’s homecoming.
But she did it anyway!
“My tearing it up had to do with — I thought if I could find a page that doesn’t have a falsehood on it, I’ll spare it, but I couldn’t find that,” Pelosi claimed.

Shredding a SOTU transcript because your blind hatred of President Trump motivated you to do so is reprehensible in and of itself.
Admitting you were in such a rage that you were willing to do so with a page that you know involved a touching military homecoming is even worse.
House Republican Whip Steve Scalise slammed Pelosi for her actions at the time and demanded an apology.
“I thought it was disgraceful. It’s unbecoming of a speaker,” Scalise said. “Frankly, Speaker Pelosi should apologize as well, because it’s not the image she should want to portray as the speaker of the House.”
She pre-ripped the page with the soldier’s story. She then saw the same page and noted what was on it at the end of the speech. And she ripped it anyway.
