The findings:
- Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view.
- Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view.
- Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%.
- Capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable.
- "Socialism is toxic to these voters," said the top Democrat.
The poll goes on to say that Democrats are not doing as well as 2018, but still better than 2016. Of course, Axios is not exactly a bastion conservative thinking so take that with a grain of salt. Axios is the brainchild of one of the Politico co-founders and usually associated with the likes of Politico, Huffington Post, and other left leaning opinionated news sites. I think what this poll does show is that the left is going to have issues with the idea that Ocasio-Cortez and her gang are gaining so much prominence, and there is little reason to believe that it is not going to continue.
The President just tossed a little gasoline to the fire with a tweet directed specifically at Ilhan Omar, telling people who come to America to make a difference here, should go back and start with their own countries. Was this a "mistake" or is the President hoping to escalate a feud with Ocasio-Cortez and her minions in order to keep them relevant. Perhaps take some short term heat in order to call out the very people he wants to battle. Perhaps like the MMA fighter (or WWF wrestler) who "calls out" his next opponent in a post fight interview or some other public event. Never doubt that Trump has something up his sleeve with whatever he is doing. Never doubt that a dumb media will fail to figure it out every time.

Are You OK With a Racist President, Republicans?
The Raleigh News & Observer slammed Republicans for not criticizing President Trump’s racist tweets over the weekend:
“Go back where you came from” is among the worst of racist tropes. It divides us by ethnicity and skin color. It says that even if someone is a citizen or legal immigrant, they are not part of the rest of us. That runs contrary to who we should be as Americans, and if Donald Trump didn’t know it when he typed the words, he surely did later when people responded with appropriate outrage. But the same president who referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” and said African visitors would never “go back to their huts” once again doubled down on his racism.
It’s dangerous, destructive behavior, and at the least every Republican lawmaker in Congress should declare as much about their president’s outburst.
NO, FOR YOU SEE WE'RE OKAY WITH IT, SAY REPUBLICANS TO A MAN (ALMOST), AND TO A WOMEN (ALMOST)
Meghan McCain Says Lindsey Graham Has Changed
Meghan McCain criticized her father’s longtime friend Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for standing by President Trump after Trump suggested that a group of non-white progressive congresswomen “go back” to where they came from, The Hill reports.
Said McCain: “Whatever is happening to Lindsey, this is not the person I used to know.”
She also slammed the “cowardice” of the GOP for not speaking out.
What I find amusing is trump is sounding more and more like the idiot indian cunt that used to hang here....moronic and unapologetic and always correct.....vain, name calling bullshit is what you all thrive on!!!!!
Schumer Blisters Republicans Over Trump Tweets
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) blasted Republicans over the silence with with many have responded to President Trump’s tweets telling four Democratic congresswomen of color to “go back” to their home countries, The Hill reports.
Schumer said Trump’s comments “drip with racism” and questioned if Republicans weren’t commenting because “out of embarrassment or agreement.”
Asked Schumer: “Where are you? When something this serious, this bigoted, this un-American happens? If you’re saying to yourself well, he got us our big tax credit, well, he’s taking regulations off big cooperations … we have to go along with this racism? You are making a deal with the devil.”
Said McCain: “Whatever is happening to Lindsey, this is not the person I used to know.”
YES, he has grown a spine.
S]he's getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races."
TRUMP and Nancy Polosi took a little known Socialist Democrat and put the spot light on her.
As much as Mitch McConnell , she has put 2 US Supreme Court Justices and a Huge Tax Cut into law.
When did AssholeC do that?
The "Squad" made a joint statement and refused to take any press questions.

Yeah, sounds like he is on HIS way to being homeless too. Hopefully someone takes him in. Family member. Friend. Democratic politician. I guess the big pension and SS isn't enough to rent an apartment in California these days. Same problem in Seattle, where it can cost you $2500/month or more for a studio in a not too nice of an area.

Good news: Barr invoked §1158(a)(2)(a) a multilateral treaty that declares Mexico a safe third country, so now all asylum seekers will be sent legally to Mexico for their hearing.
Better news: NO COURT shall have jurisdiction to review any determination by the AG under (a)(2)!

Ooohhh but they do and they will continue to do so, Denny. Where else is there any real "leadership"? Look for Trump to continue this feud as far as it will take him!
He posted he is being evicted.

There was never any downside for Trump in this.
Nobody that voted for him cares about what he tweeted.
Now, the four worst Democrats in history are on TV representing their party.
Pelosi must be breathing into a paper bag by now.
Lol, Trump."tricked" them into being the faces of today's Socialist Democrat Party .
Just remember. The people who are most outraged by Trump's tweets are the same people who invited Jeffrey Epstein to their fundraisers.
AOC called both Polosi and Trump Racist.
She plays that card when she doesn't get her way.
Did she turn off he Air Conditioner to her apartment yet?
Can't decide whether Donald Trump is a deliberate political genius or just an accidental political genus the way he forced the Democrat leadership to support the socialist/communist/ISIS wing of the party when they were trying to distance themselves.
Shocking....my prediction from last month has become true.....Hottest June Evah!!!!! Looks like july will also be a record...For those who are skeptics....the data is becoming more ominous every month in spite of you wishing it is not......!!!!

Boosted by a historic heat wave in Europe and unusually warm conditions across the Arctic and Eurasia, the average temperature of the planet soared to its highest level ever recorded in June.
According to data released Monday by NASA, the global average temperature was 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit (0.93 Celsius) above the June norm (based on a 1951-to-1980 baseline), easily breaking the previous June record of 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.82 Celsius), set in 2016, above the average.
The month was punctuated by a severe heat wave that struck Western Europe in particular during the last week, with numerous all-time-hottest-temperature records falling in countries with centuries-old data sets.
Notably, 13 locations in France surpassed their highest temperature ever recorded. The heat wave’s highest temperature of 114.6 degrees Fahrenheit (45.9 Celsius), posted in Gallargues-le-Montueux, was 3.2 degrees above the old record, set during an infamous heat wave in July and August 2003.
[After a blistering heat wave boosted by climate change, Europe just notched its hottest June on record]
NASA is the second institution to confirm that it was Earth’s hottest June, as the Copernicus Climate Change Service had already determined that June 2019 was the warmest such month on record for Europe and globally.
Can't decide whether Donald Trump is a deliberate political genius
A genius for the D's by uniting them in a single front from last weeks in fighting....Good job donnie and lets see how the R's vote on the resolution being voted on tonight or are they all emasculated eunuchs like our esteemed host and cramps....

You can’t go into a Whole Foods or indie record store without hearing somebody talk about it: democratic socialism. Is it a radical new idea that we should try out in our nation, or is it an old idea with the word “democratic” stapled to the front to make it sound more palatable? Find out in this handy explainer from your friends at The Babylon Bee:
What is Democratic Socialism?
Democratic Socialism is a growing movement in America promising every citizen the most basic human rights, including but not limited to free healthcare, a government-guaranteed job making at least $15 per hour, free college tuition, guaranteed housing, broadband internet access, and cage-free vegan lattes.
How would the government pay for all of that?
By rightfully appropriating money from terrible, evil, oppressive, hardworking, enterprising citizens who have earned wealth via the dreaded free market economy that has led to unprecedented human flourishing. Governments are known for being the most efficient spenders of money, and so surely would do an excellent job as stewards of your wealth—err, we mean, the public’s wealth.
Isn’t it immoral to take most of the money people earn?
No—actually, it’s the right thing to do. People with money only got that money because of inherent privilege, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, patriarchy, and all kinds of other unfair power structures and phobias. You know what, we’re a little concerned with all the questions you’re asking here. It sounds like someone needs to spend a little more time in a democratic re-education loyalty center! KILL THE KULAKS!
How does Democratic Socialism differ from just “Socialism”?
It has the word “Democratic” in front of it, you see, which means it is achieved by promoting identity politics, stoking class warfare, and cranking that entitlement mentality up to 11, instead of literal violent overthrow of the government. Besides, voting for the government to seize people’s wealth is totally different from the government deciding to do so on their own, right? Err… uh… DID WE MENTION YOU GET FREE STUFF?? Say it with us: Socialism good, Democratic Socialism better!
It seems like if you try to run the numbers, there’s just no way Democratic Socialism is a fiscally feasible form of government.
“Run the numbers”? “Fiscally feasible”? Have you been paying attention, like, at all? Do you want free money, or are you part of the problem? YOU GET FREE MONEY, AND YOU GET FREE MONEY—ERRYBODY GETS FREE MONEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!
Is there an example of this form of government working out well in the world?
YES! Venezuela is a socialist paradise, having achieved an almost totally equal distribution of hunger and lack of basic necessities. With features like 46,000% inflation, mass starvation, empty grocery stores, and total economic collapse, it’s a great real-world example of a socialist utopia! THAT’S HOW YOU STICK IT TO THE CORPORATE OLIGARCHY, BABY! OWN THE CAPITALISTS WITH THIS ONE GREAT TRICK!
As you can see, the centralization of wealth and power to an elite few in government is perfectly in line with the ideas America was founded on. Now let’s get out there and democratically seize the means of production, comrades!

Oh did you see Alky (his facebook posts) is broke, broken and 9 days from being homeless (evicted). You have a 2nd home, contact him, let him live there rent free , help your fellow Traveler out.
yeah, a climate report from the clowns at the EU. that's who controls the copernicus circlejerk, dumbass.
it's summertime, dumb fuck. it gets hot. in winter it will get cold.
it takes a real piece of shit to fleece governments out of taxpayer dollar$ to tell me the weather and the seasons because they can't get a real, productive job somewhere.
"oh look, there's a black metal roof. let's place our temperature measuring devices (thermometers to you and me) up there." "brilliant, if i say so myself!"
"but gustov, won't that give us false readings?"
"of course it will you idiot. that's what keeps the government $$$ flowing."
"how the fuck do you think michael mann's bullshit hockey stick graph was paid for? a fucking go fund me page???"
"look, as long as there are gullible dumb fucks around the world who want to believe in this climate change bullshit, we get to keep cashing in until the fraud is exposed, capisce???"
"now get up on that fucking roof. and don't burn yourself."
The Odd Squad was proud to run in being from other countries, proud of their heritage , until Trump Tricked them
Roger, I hope your eviction goes well.
If this is really true about roger what's tragic is the large amount of time he spent here with his TDS while he obviously was ignoring severe personal problems he could actually control or at least address.
Wishing he gets help and things work out.
Do wonder what happened to all that income he used to post about, Hopefully it's real and this is a temporary setback. Else he will get to see first hand the results of the policies he is advocating.
@GKeile
Every big News Network actually stopped everything that they were doing to cover 4 congress women complain about a tweet. PATHETIC!
That's the America we live in now folks where our breaking news is to listen to 4 belligerent congresswomen cry about a tweet.
biased MSM shoot themselves in the foot again. Trump grins.

same here. while this is 100% self-inflicted, totally avoidable, and completely fueled by the very real mental illness known as TDS, i hope the alky finds someone to take him in, preferably family, so he doesn't become yet another parasite we get stuck paying for.
i think that while we've all have read stories about how the rise of trump had resulted in an increase in mental health services, therapist visits, etc., i never thought i'd ever 'know' someone who genuinely and completely and quite literally lost their shit because of trump.
behold the power of TDS. it is real and the alky is its poster child.

Alky took a big hair cut in income when Mail Order divorced him. CA law is very favorable to the female.

BERLIN — When it became clear Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee for president in 2016, the German village of Kallstadt suddenly became a destination for journalists and tourists curious about the unlikely candidate’s roots.
Trump’s grandfather had been born there and migrated to the United States in search of opportunity. Many of the 1,200 residents of the town, uncomfortable with the spotlight and the populist rhetoric Trump espoused, wished the eventual American president would forget about their quiet corner in Germany.
Now, in the aftermath of Trump urging four Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to the “crime infested places from which they came,” some in this once economically depressed town are urging the U.S. president to remember where his own family came from.
“Seeing the not-so-imposing homes of his ancestors might bring him back to earth,” said Thomas Jaworek, the conservative mayor of Kallstadt, where Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was born and then left as a teenager.
ADVERTISING
Jaworek said many of his constituents align with the rest of Germany’s views that President Trump is a threat. While he has little interest in hosting the American president — citing the security and media frenzy it would cause — the mayor said if Trump were to visit, he hopes the president would at least leave Kallstadt with a changed view on migration, citizenship and belonging.
After all, Friedrich Trump was a migrant.
“Everyone has his or her roots somewhere — and to demand of others to simply leave the country is paradoxical for him,” said Beatrix Riede, 61, who heads an association for women in the town.
“I can only wish Americans that they will elect someone who turns on his mind before saying something,” added Riede.
I bet Trump is more popular than Merkel after she took a million splodey dopes in.
