If you phrase it that way, sure, but - not to speak for Rock here - I don't think Rock is criticizing Trump for being a clown; I think he is criticizing for being a clown while also being the ostensible leader of the free world (and, of course, by extension, criticizing all the clowns who voted for him).
I quite understand he is criticizing in that sense. As I do always. I also extend that to all other woefully unqualified elected officials. That’s all I’m saying.
I've always assumed wherever Steve King is, is hell.
I get that, but I am just saying you accused Rock of unfairness and partisanship, and I think that was what was too far. If you want to extend it to AOC, fine, but there's no reason to demand Rock does, since AOC doesn't fit the ecological niche Trump does, which is what Rock continuously criticizes.
Right, because the GOP is all about intellectual heavyweights. Sure.
What? I don't know what the f*ck you are talking about. She's some soon-to-be Congresswoman from bumf*ck New York. Who cares? You care, apparently. You care very much. I can't possibly imagine why, especially since I've never seen you make one post about how much you care that your party is married to Steve f*cking King, but whatever. All I know in this conversation is that your implication that the Democrats are fielding intellectual lightweights is hilarious beyond all humanly appreciation, considering the idiots the GOP is sending to Washington.
I’m tapping out of this conversation. I’m stumped. The cognitive dissonance going on is quite high.
Bumf*ck New York? You spelled Queens incorrectly.
I guess I can’t stay away from this because I like to debate too much.
Well ok, but I have no idea what that really means and how to execute it. At what point do we realize that a federal house representative is a damn important job and that we shouldn’t elect people not intellectually equipped for the gig regardless of party?
Interesting, and not necessarily disagreeing, but she's not ever-present in my news feed and I think my news feed is current, multi-faceted, and relatively thorough on news that matters.
I suspect she doesn't have that status. The right-wing reporting on her suggests otherwise, though.
True dat, especially your last line.
Like I said in July, I think a material percentage of our elected Congresspeople are clowns or morons or shameless exploiters. That's the point I made then (i.e., on a relative scale, AOC doesn't really stand out) and I think still largely holds true.
I don't mean to defend AOC, who should learn not to talk when she doesn't know what she's talking about -- or at least learn how to talk when she doesn't know what she's taking about. I just don't understand why her foibles receive such attention. She's just one of about 90 soon-to-be freshman members of the House, which is full of politicians routinely making stupid comments.
Apparently I'm not hip to the "wave of the woke" because I encounter exactly no one on the left making the case you describe. That all sounds like Reefer Madness to me.
I continue to be amused by not-Democrats who know so much more about what Democrats think than I do.
Exactly, if you listen to her in entirety, instead of quips, you’ll see it’s her complete foundational world-view that is off. The most concerning aspect of that world view though is that she is very confident of the the fact that she knows more about how this thing should work more than any of you.
