American Thinker: Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a habit of wanting things that she has no idea how to pay for. Not merely government programs like single-payer nationalized healthcare (currently being re-branded as “Medicare for all”), but her personal expenditures. With federal programs, she claims to be puzzled by questions over how to pay for them. But with personal issues such as writing a check for rent, at least she realizes that the money has to come from somewhere.
At her election night party, Ocasio-Cortez whined to New York Times reporter Azi Paybarah that nobody will be paying her until she is sworn into Congress in January. As if this were not the same exact circumstance facing every newly elected member of Congress.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the transition period will be “very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary. I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.” She said she saved money before leaving her job at the restaurant, and planned accordingly with her partner. “We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January.”
Boo-hoo! Naturally, as the news spread, she resorted to class politics to explain why she – and her followers – are victims:
Start a GoFundME, ME, ME!
That’s what everyone does these days when their kid or spouse gets killed, they have nothing to gain, need surgery or are unemployed.
Why else did they create unsocial media?
One term wonder. Bye, bitch.
Free apartments for all!
How about you go to a lender and borrow some money? You have a guaranteed income for 2 years
Don’t worry Dearie, you’ll be collecting Graft in no time, just like Barry, Moose & Bernie. They didn’t work a day in their lives either, & look at them!
Alexandria, honey, you don’t need to say out loud every stupid thought that stomps through your head.
Obviously she didn’t “plan accordingly” if she doesn’t have the fundage to start an apartment in the place where *she* asked for a job.
Here’s a an idea, Cortez, how about you “just pay for it”? Wasn’t that your solution for all those freebies?
And if it is that hard for you to manage your life, what makes you think you have the skills to affect other people positively?
Crabcakes, she’s not smart enough to collect Graft.
just pay for it the same way you say your going to pay for universal healthcare. Reality is a bitch isn’t it Ms. Cortez
What kind of dumbfuck voted for this dumbfuck?
DEPORT all these shitbags to the Congo!
Maybe she can sell her soul. Oh, wait – – she already did.
she can sell her $3500 outfit to acquire at least 1 month of rent.
She should put the bite on Beto O’Dork, he’s got millions. Too bad he won’t “share the wealth” like all libs tell us to do.
How does she not have a campaign warchest?
My guess is she has plenty of money available but wants to push her ‘cred’ as one of the people.
Nobody is that stupid!!!
That bint is colossally stupid. Not ignorant, stupid.
Those who voted for her are even stupider.
Has Orange Man stolen all the cattle futures?
Now learn the myriad violations and laws she is about to break by accepting lobbyist help in her foray into couchsurfing .
Steve Cohen will give her a face to sit on.
Don’t mind the webcam in your air vent, sweetie. It’s helping to offset the rent.
Check the DC YSCA……that’s the Young Senorita’s Christian Association.
If you have nothing else to offer….whore yourself out. Everybody knows what you are, just set your price.
Hell….even stoopid Whoopie was still on welfare after making her first couple of movies.
Soros’ check hasn’t cleared, yet?
Maybe she expected cash?
Try that dumpster behind the KFC down on Pennsylvania Ave SE (a couple of blocks before the bridge) – used to only have 2 or 3 bums living in it – I’m sure they’d make room for ya – just bring a jug of Muscatel or a bottle of Manischewitz.
Good luck!
I truly hope you get everything you deserve!
izlamo delenda est …
Wonder if she is actually using mass small donations to cover larger deposits that are being funneled right now. Make a look over there moment.
A good Whine to cover the taste of some funkier cheese doodles.
She may not have had any expectation that her fellow citizens were dumb enough to vote her into office.
You’d think Bernie would let her crash at his place for a few months.
You know, when Lenin showed up at the Leningrad train station he didn’t have an apartment either. Stalin was exiled to Siberia, twice. Did he ever whine about not have a place? Then there’s Mao and Castro who both lived for years in the wilderness before pulling off their revolutions. She seems a bit pampered and spoiled to be a true world changer.
She lives in New York, why not just room with that other member of Congress and New York resident, Oregon Senator Rin Wyden?
And when she finally does get her first check she’ll blow it all on lottery tickets.
I dunno.Maybe she should go to Cuba or Venezuela, see how they do it.
…well, if it’s THAT much of a burden, hun, we’d be happy to send a nice, Republican man up to Washington to do all that stupid “Congress” stuff for you, wouldn’t you like THAT? SURE you would…
…I bet Biden would put you up, at least for ONE night…
When you are inaugurated you can sign a bill to fund you.
Her underwear is probably on backwards too………moron
“Her underwear is probably on backwards too”
…I seriously doubt she wears any, @gin blossom. It wouldn’t be…convenient…
I hear her partner is a Roomba and it’s smarter than she is.
Typical libtard foresight; none at all.
Maybe she can get a payday loan…
She can sure as hell get advance money on her future millions…..
This is just so much more hammering of the poor getting screwed theme of her campaign. You can bet she either has plenty of cash from her campaign which she’ll illegally use but suffer no investigation or white envelopes full of cash will show up which will allow her to dine at DC’s finest establishments and get a great apartment (furnished of course). This is one that could easily yield a Pulitzer Prize (also it would make the awards committee bleed out their ears) for a reporter who spends some time and energy following and investigating her first six months in Congress.
Don’t doubt she has money already grifted. She’s just gaming her idiot constituents into giving her even more funds.
The Socialist Motto:
“Never give a sucker an even break” – W.C. Fields
She didn’t contribute enough to Hillary or Obama to get a payout. Boo Hoo!
