Unless the district flips, AOC will be in the 117th Congress.

Ocasio-Cortez holds her seat against primary challengers

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a blowout win in her district’s Democratic primary.

Ocasio-Cortez warded off three Democratic primary challengers in New York's 14th Congressional District. The freshman lawmaker noted on social media Tuesday evening that her surprise upset in 2018 was not a “fluke.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic socialist, shocked political pundits after defeating 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley during the 2018 midterms. 

“Our win was treated as an aberration, or (because) my opponent ‘didn’t try,’” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a tweet. “So from the start, tonight’s race was important to me. Tonight we are proving that the people’s movement in NY isn’t an accident. It‘s a mandate.”

Trump got a big boost today when the SCOTUS voted in favour of a law to allow for easier deportation.
The 7-2 decision means even liberal justices voted in favour with only Kagan and Sotomayor dissenting.

I predict even with all the drama and crap Trump do he would still win, most of the comments on ABC and CNN and MSNBC etc the news comments disagree with defunding police etc people are fully aware of the MSM and how they lie and manipulate situations.

Also the left wants to tear down historical figures I could understand tearing down Confederate Statues since those are clear signs of Racism, there is no logical reasoning for having confederate statues the civil war was fought based on slavery the confederacy literally formed their own country just so they could keep slaves, they are traitors in every sense therefore it makes absolutely no sense in having statues of them.

But targeting statues of Lincoln the man who FREE the slaves, shows clearly just how illiterate and dunce most of these rioters are.

I could very well be wrong here but I do not believe most Americans agree with a bunch of illiterate morons.

If Trump does lose the election it would be due to his inability to act when the rioting and larceny took place cause let's be real he didn't do sh!t to stop those rioting cause he was afraid he went into the bunker in fear. It showed he is indeed a weak president and only pretends to be tough, he didn't want to be labeled a racist by arresting the rioters then later came and claimed that he allowed the rioting because it was happening in liberal cities.

That has to be one of the most dotish things I ever hear in my life, that is like one of your child goes of the deep end and becomes a heroin addict and then instead of stepping in the save the child to stop the problem in its roots before it could spread and become irreversible you instead sat back allowed it to happen just so you could say "see I was right he was a lost cause cause that's the child that never listened to me"

Lincoln was born in poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana

This is a historical fact, he gave his life literally died to enact the 13th amendment which abolishes slavery this is federal law and enslaving someone based on race, gender etc is a federal crime. He is literally the embodiment of human greatness.

Now the illiterate and dunce left wing Mob is seeking to tear down his statue, this shows just how retarded these people are. The Democrats and left wing media is on the side of the illiterates 100% because they know this is how they will grab power, this is why politicians and lawyers are the most disgusting profession one can get into as Dr Richard Dawkins once rightfully claimed. Their level of greed and dishonesty is mind boggling they are literal psychopaths.

Trump calls protesters 'terrorists,' pledges 'retribution' for tearing down statues


The president's comments come as demonstrators topple statues of Confederate generals and colonial figures in cities nationwide.

President Donald Trump on Thursday promised “retribution” against protesters nationwide who tore down statues and referred to Wisconsin demonstrators as “terrorists.”

“Every night, we’re going to get tougher and tougher,” Trump said at a Fox News town hall in Wisconsin on Thursday night, in response to an audience question about his plan to tamp down protests there. “And at some point, there’s going to be retribution because there has to be. These people are vandals, but they’re agitators, but they're really — they’re terrorists, in a sense.”


It’s unclear what the president meant by “retribution," but Trump earlier in the town hall called for prison time for protesters who tear down monuments. And in a Tuesday tweet, Trump promised 10 years in jail for “anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such federal property,” citing the 2003 Veterans’ Memorial Preservation Act.


Protesters have toppled statues of Confederate generals, slaveholders and colonial figures in cities nationwide in the wake of massive protests against police brutality and racism. On Monday, demonstrators attempted to tear down a statue of former President Andrew Jackson outside the White House before law enforcement cleared the crowd.

'Brutal' new polls spell trouble for Trump in battleground states
A New York Times/Siena College survey shows diminishing support for Trump among white voters in some key swing states.

New polls out on Thursday show presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden trouncing US President Donald Trump in six battleground states that were key to the president's electoral victory in 2016.

The New York Times/Siena College poll showed Biden leading by an average of nine percentage points in six key states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona and North Carolina. The same poll released in October of last year showed Biden up by just two percentage points across the influential states.

Since then, the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged the United States, creating unprecedented job loss and economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, protests against institutional racism, following the high-profile killings of Black Americans by police, have swept the country.

Perhaps most troubling for Trump, the new poll also showed diminishing support for Trump among white voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. White, working-class voters in those states make up a disproportionate amount of the electorate who will go to the polls in November.

Their votes were key to Trump's 2016 victory in the Electoral College, the system in US presidential elections in which the winner is decided based on electors from each state, who usually vote based on the state's popular vote and not the overall national popular vote. Trump lost the national popular vote in the last election.

Not all of the early US presidents owned slaves. And while married, Grant had four slaves but they may have been owned by his wife or wife's family.

In a larger sense, the salient point is that much of world history is shaped by the conquerors. There is demonstrable value in learning the entire history, not just what moves the dialog in a favorable direction.

You're simply rationalizing. It is not atypical to respond to outrage at public sentiment contradicting one's own opinion but you don't necessarily change anything long term.

Toppling statues and defacing buildings, irrespective of the reasoning, is simply illegal in most places.

Don't forget Rashard Brooks was arrested multiple times for severely beating his children which included toddlers and also his wife, then arrested again for armed robbery and sticking a gun into a pregnant woman's stomach.

But offcourse these are the moral figures of the democratic party apparently we glorify these people now with gold coffin and sh!t.

I love how a bunch of illiterate dunce protestors cannot seem to understand that what we knew and thought of as acceptable yesterday could very well turn out to be offensive tomorrow, that doesn't mean we deface monuments and works of art.

What about thee freed slaves who donated their hard earned money to build statues of Abraham Lincoln, and now the illiterate dunce morons who for some reason never seem to be employed, seeks to deface and tear down the statue of Lincoln. I knew this was coming, I have never ever supported the idea of confederate anything but statues are generally works of art especially when they are accompanied by horses. These illiterate dunce if you asked them to sculpt a ball of sh!t they wouldn't even have the skill to do that but they seek to tear down everything.

No different to communists like Mao who destroyed much of China's ancient architecture.

Trump has himself to blame, he has responded too late, after everything has been burned and destroyed people murdered and some will never walk again for the crime of defending their shops. This is why he is losing support, there is noway people could have rioted like this under Obama he would have had the army crack some wood on their asses, say what you want about Obama but his thirst for war and bombings meant he was much stronger than Trump when it came to dealing with these issues.

Hear nah if you listen to Fox News too much you may lose a few million brain cells, the only sane person on that network is Tucker Carlson yet lately he doesn't seem to make sense.

During the first 20 minutes of his show on evenings he talks about and promotes Americans going out in public without a mask and rising up with guns to storm the city and reclaim their "rights" because Covid is a Hoax, then at the end of his program he brings in a old doctor fella padner of his, who then talks about how cases are rising and more people are dying and then Tucker is like damn that is really sad and shows how serious the situation is and how our leaders have abandoned us.

LMFAO I doubt this beats back Richard MadCoW AKA Rachel Maddow claims on MSNBC that Russians will be turning off Americans electricity come winter but I think its pretty much up there with the rest of left wing lunatics.

House approves measure to make Washington, D.C. a state
BY GRACE SEGERS

UPDATED ON: JUNE 26, 2020 / 6:37 PM / CBS NEWS

The House approved a measure to make Washington, D.C. the fifty-first state on Friday, marking the first time a D.C. statehood proposal has passed in either chamber of Congress, though it will not get a vote in the Senate. The legislation passed 232 to 180, with only one Democrat joining Republicans to vote against it.

The legislation, titled H.R. 51, would create the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth, named after Frederick Douglass. The district has a population of over 700,000 people, larger than the populations of Wyoming and Vermont. D.C. residents have no voting representation in Congress. Eleanor Holmes Norton represents D.C. in Congress as a non-voting delegate.

The quote said, "though it will not get a vote in the Senate."

Puerto Rican: non-white Hispanics are the target of racism and discrimination. Puerto Rico has similar issues regarding racism to most majority-white Caribbean nations.

Guam: non-indigenous people are the target of discrimination. Different issues. The indigenous people don't want to become another Hawaii.

I'm not certain what you seem to be reaching for regarding colonialism... neither has had a referendum that sided with independence from the US. In fact, the latest referendum result in PR was to seek USA statehood.

Here what going on I feel Trump too dotish to be elected in 2020.

F.0cker Tarlson on Fox News worried, this is a sign that Trump might actually lose, he is incompetent let's be real here folks as much as he is entertaining and he was maybe the only person to stand up against China and politicians selling out US workers to China and shipping factories overbroad.

At the end of the day the fact that Trump spreads a conspiracy that Covid is a Hoax and that the earth is flat, which is then backed up by Fox News, this means he going to basically destroy society. Look what happened Trump gave billion dollar corporations Tax Cuts with no real benefit to middle class then he gave Trillions to Banks and Airline companies during Covid a blatant rape of Tax Payers who then got crumbs, a typical GOP scam called Trickled down economics that has never worked and only benefited the top 1% even tho the banking cartel is one of the biggest legal crime empires in the world boasting of billions and trillions of profit every year but suddenly the need to lock down for 2 or 3 months they suddenly need trillions in bailout? really?

Then he signed executive orders to protect food processing plant owners and punish workers who got Covid, ontop of that this moron then started pushing wild conspiracy theories about Covid is going to just go away, he then forced states to reopen and now deaths are sky rocketing, he retweets conspiracy stuff from Alex Jones and OANN which claims Covid is a HOAX. He then passes a jokey law that bans chokeholds and NOTHING more, police can still discriminate as they have been doing.

He then sat back while businesses burned and monuments torn down by illiterate morons, then laughed about it in an interview with the daily beast saying "it's fun watching left wing cities burn"

But I think the best best part is F.0cker Tarlson on Fox News every night starting his program with "WE WANT FREEDOM WE WANT A HAIRCUT WE SHOULD PROTEST FOR LIBERTY, to ending his program bringing an Old Doctor padner who then claims Covid is real and will kill more people if we reopen then firetrucker Tarlson says damn such a shame that our leaders don't care"

This is simply incredible, let's not get started with breitbart comment section where 90% of their readers think the earth is flat, covid is a hoax and George Floyd was a serial killer and that we don't have "facts" to state Floyd was murdered or the police did anything wrong.
