I keep chuckling over this exchange:

FINNEY: But why spying instead of surveillance if you know the difference.

TAPPER: Yes.

MARY KATHARINE HAM, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Because they're synonyms. That's why.

Ocasio-Cortez admits bungling the Green New Deal rollout
apr 16th 2019 9:32AM

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., says the biggest mistake she's made in her first four months as a freshman congresswoman was how the rollout of the so-called Green New Deal — her ambitious environmental plan to combat climate change — was handled.

"It was done in a way that it was easy to hijack the narrative around it," Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast "Skullduggery" on Sunday. "It was too fast."

In February, Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced the wide-ranging proposal at a news conference on Capitol Hill, where she called it a "first step" in defining an urgent environmental crisis facing the United States. Conservative critics, including President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were quick to mock the plan and its 29-year-old champion.

Last month, the Green New Deal failed in the Senate after Republicans, led by McConnell, pushed for a vote.

Ocasio-Cortez called the resolution itself "very solid," but conceded that competing documents — including an erroneous FAQ — were rolled out prematurely and "muddied" the messaging surrounding it.

That allowed opponents of the plan to mischaracterize what's in the plan.

A LIE. Trump falsely said the Green New Deal would "permanently eliminate" all planes and cars. (It would not. The proposal aims to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions "as much as technologically feasible.")

A LIE. Sen. Ted Cruz, D-Texas, falsely suggested the proposal would "get rid of all cows." (It would not. According to Ocasio-Cortez, the plan would address the ills of factory farming.)

"None of those things are in there," she said. "It was just frustrating — intensely frustrating."

But the freshman congresswoman says she's learning from her mistakes.

AND SHE'S COMING AFTER YOU.

"I feel like I'm fine tuning," Ocasio-Cortez said. "So I'll have to dial things back a little bit to get that pressure closer to where I want it to be …"

AND SHE'S COMING AFTER YOU.

Except for the fake Clinton-funded evidence, rampant unmasking, lying to courts, lying to Congress, illegal leaks, corrupt informants, wholesale weaponization of intelligence, and attempted coup, the anti-Trump spying op was totally done “by the book.”

REALLY far more important.

She's popular with the ISIS wing of the Democrat party.

lo iq "Unknown" said "I be retired..."

I think you meant "I am retired" or maybe "I be retarded"

Either way with such a low income you definitely should be looking for at least one more job. Probably depressing at your advanced age.

And that is actually embarrassing, though you are so lo iq I doubt you even are aware of that.

ROFLMFAO !!!

Denise confirmed his low income.

"According to Forbes:

Income 0-25K - Ave $100 tax cut
Income 25K-46.8K - Ave $520 tax cut
Income 46.8K-86.1K - Ave $1320 tax cut
Income 86.1K-149.4K - Ave $2640 tax cut
Income 149.4K above - Ave $19,510 tax cut


So if Denny got a about a $300 tax break, we can figure he makes around $35K a year. That's $16/hour. Probably a shift manager at a Kwik Trip, a part time construction worker, or a shelf stocker a Walmart who has been there a few years. "
