Sandy's War |

[NationalReview] ’This is going to be the New Deal, the Great Society, the moon shot, the civil-rights movement of our generation," Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) says about her so-called Green New Deal.

#5 I love that picture of her. It is epitome of crazy, I used to have a picture of Nancy Pelosi tha I thought represented crazy. I think AOC might be wild in the sack, if I was younger I might try to bag that. |

#2 OK, so I read it all including the last paragraph and it made me wonder, maybe it's common knowledge but I've been making an effort not to pay much attention, does this girl have a boyfriend? |
