It's kind of surprising there's no thread (until now) about the Socialist who's about to be a Congresswoman from New York. Since she has a long name most Americans can neither spell nor pronounce, I suggest we call her Bernice.

That is all.

The one who lied about a 40 mile (or was it 40 minute?) "commute" to attend school in the town where she actually grew up? That Bernice?

Ella es un polÃtico, y un DemÃ³crata. Ella miente.

Eso es todo.

Apparently, the GOP is terrified.

And she seems to be trying to sow confusion with her words.

No.

My mother's name is Bernice.

And if you call her a socialist to her face, you'll be lucky if all she does is introduce your nose to your ear.

The Party decided it was best that your mother's name be redistributed to those who have a shortage of being called Bernice. Your mother has been called Bernice all her life, so she can surely afford to spare some.

More from Bernice.

She starts to answer the question, but when pressed, she just gives up.

"Yeah... I mean, I think ... I'd ... also just— I am not the expert on geo-politics on this issue."

See, she's not as smooth as Obama.

The 28-year-old socialist struggled, "Um... I think what I meant is ... like ... the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas and places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to their housing and homes."

Do you think, just maybe, they're experiencing difficulties because they keep digging tunnels and lobbing rockets at Israel? have you thought about that, little socialist girl playing at being a politician?

Where I a suspicious person I might wonder if this little girl is an attempt by the left at another Obama.

I still think they are leaning towards Kamala Harris for that. I just read she is apparently ramping things up for a bid. I was originally worried because of the identity politics voting block, but after a year of the stupidest tweets ever, as highlighted on Twitchy, I am really hoping she's a front runner.

I think that's almost a given. She has the black thing going for her and she has the woman thing going for her. I suspect the Ds see her as Obama and Hillary all rolled up in a single, marketable package.

It just now occurred to me that this whole thread violates the stupid no-nickname rule (which is a stupid rule that is stupid), so perhaps it should be locked.

Hawkmoon · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2018, 02:05:34 AM »

Good grief. She hasn't even won a seat yet, and she's already being paraded around as the new face of the Democratic party.

With Bernie.

She won the (D) primary. That’s the actual contest in that district.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2018, 06:54:35 PM »

Some interesting background on her here:

https://ricochet.com/podcast/the-conservatarians/spinning-the-wheel-of-crazy/

And I must admit, the podcast lists some better nicknames than I gave her. "She Guevara" - so wish I'd thought of that. (Though most Americans still don't know how to pronounce that.)

Also, they suggest she's not the protest radical that people seem to think she is. I'm not sure why that matters, though. I don't care that she didn't go to Zucotti (sp?) Park. The problem is, she'll be in Congress with her stupid, dangerous ideas.
