Ocasio-Cortez doubling down on concentration camp rhetoric

How dare Liz Cheney call her out for comments 

This has been one of those dumb media stories about Ocasio-Cortez (as if are another kind of story about her). Funny thing is that not many in the media are really taking Ocasio-Cortez to task about comments that obviously are very insulting to a lot of Americans. But being tone deaf and a Democrat is sort of acceptable behavior. Apparently when Democrats say insulting things, it is just a matter of showing passion for an issue. You know, versus a Republican, who is called a bigot, racist, sexist, anti-Semite, or whatever, even if the words have to be twisted and analysed ten different ways to arrive at those conclusions.

There really does seem to be a ton of hostility with many newer members of the Democratic Party against the Jewish community, Israel, and the religion in general. While I am not sure Ocasio-Cortez made these "concentration camp" analogies to piss off Jews, and throw more fuel on the fire, she certainly didn't take a step back and think before she spoke.

Just posted about this. It's really gone to the theater of the absurd.

Hint to the news media. Not every leftest idiotic statement deserves to be explained away or otherwise defended. It just make you look like bias asses.

Seems like an apt description....sad but inherently true....The really amusing thing is your reactions to this, but trump yelling about Hillary and e mails last night and the press being the enemy.....you remain mute, as usual......!!!!!

AOC said, then Cheney said, then AOC said...

"And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps," Ocasio-Cortez wrote to get things rolling. "Concentration camps are considered by experts as 'the mass detention of civilians without trial.' And that’s exactly what this administration is doing."

Cheney responded shortly after: "Please @AOC do us all a favor and spend just a few minutes learning some actual history. 6 million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. You demean their memory and disgrace yourself with comments like this."

Not to be outdone, Ocasio-Cortez quickly returned serve at her Republican counterpart.

"Hey Rep. Cheney, since you’re so eager to 'educate me,' I’m curious: What do YOU call building mass camps of people being detained without a trial? How would you dress up DHS’s mass separation of thousands children at the border from their parents?"

Another real vet calling BULLSHIT on trumps bone spurs....And the smelly assed goat fucker keeps slurping....

Sen. Duckworth was not impressed. As a lieutenant colonel, she lost both of her legs after the helicopter she was co-piloting was shot down over Iraq in 2004.

Trump received a total of five draft deferments from military service during the Vietnam War: four for education, and a fifth for bone spurs in his heels. Sen. Duckworth has mocked him as “Cadet Bone Spurs” on multiple occasions.

“I'm sorry, but it's baloney,” she said. “He dodged the draft five times using his personal privilege to get out of serving. He came up with a bogus diagnosis of a bone spur, which he can't even tell you what foot it was in. If it was that bad, you would remember, right?”

“Don't attack members of the military. Don't wrap yourself in the flag as if you're some great patriot, yet when your nation called and asked you to respond, you didn't,” she continued.

Sen. Duckworth on John Bolton: ‘He’s a warmonger’

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., says the Trump administration is leading the U.S. to war with Iran but that national security adviser John Bolton is likely behind the decisions. According to Duckworth, Bolton is a “warmonger” who has Trump’s ear.
Sen. Duckworth was also highly critical of Trump when it came to escalating tensions with Iran, which spiked recently after the White House blamed Tehran for an attack against two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

That’s “not a joke,” he said. “I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money.” 

Appearing to suggest that his tax plan would not include excessive taxes on the rich, Biden said “no one’s standard of living change” if he’s elected. 

“The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,” Biden said. 

Of damn it Joe.

Jesus Christ said...

President Trump's spiritual adviser, Paula White, said in the opening prayer before his campaign kickoff rally in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday that "demonic networks" have aligned themselves against the president.

"Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus," she said to a crowd of Trump's supporters before his rally began Tuesday.

"I declare that President Trump will overcome every strategy from hell and every strategy from the enemy," she added, according to video of her remarks.

"I secure his calling, I secure his purpose, I secure his family, and we secure victory in the name which is above every name ... the name of Jesus Christ," she said ending her prayer.

Amen

"On Tuesday afternoon, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) attempted to defend Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) from accusations that she was trivializing the Holocaust with her comparisons of the situation at the southern border with the concentration camps of the Holocaust. In the process, Nadler, who is Jewish, managed to trivialize the Holocaust himself, tweeting:

One of the lessons from the Holocaust is ‘Never Again’ - not only to mass murder, but also to the dehumanization of people, violations of basic rights, and assaults on our common morality. We fail to learn that lesson when we don’t callout such inhumanity right in front of us."

@jtLOL

I don't really blame AOC for saying stupid things. She's stupid. She can't help it. I blame the guys who line up to make excuses for her. They're no better than the Trump defenders who think he can do no wrong. The main difference is that the AOC defenders have press passes.

C.H. Truth said...

What do YOU call building mass camps of people being detained without a trial?

Last time I checked, they were using the same detainment centers that have been used for years. Moreover, many criminal are put in jail while they wait for a trial.

The fact is that the law determines that many of these border crossers are actually "criminals" for doing so. I get that AOC and others in the Democratic Party (so desperate for new voters) want them just immediately released into society... but that's not how the rule of law works.

The Jews who were rounded up, put in slave labor camps, and sometimes just exterminated did not commit any crimes. They didn't cross borders. They were not living in Germany without citizenship papers, hiding in the shadows. They were pulled from their houses, separated from family members, and put into camps.


The reality is that these families that come here should fully expect to be detained, sometimes be separated from other family members, at least until they can sort out the legalities. There is no "entitlement" of non-citizens to just enter the country and be allowed to roam free.

Here we are again, four years later, fact-checking a campaign kickoff speech by Donald Trump.

The fact-checkable claims were different this time around, but history repeated itself nonetheless. Trump’s campaign kickoff speech in Orlando was littered with the same false or misleading claims he has so often repeated as president.

Phony numbers on trade. Unfounded claims about immigrants. False statements about special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation. Fishy economic statistics and wild exaggerations about his presidential accomplishments.

Our task was easier this time because, by now, we’ve assembled a database of more than 10,000 false or misleading claims from Trump. The president often deploys the same lines, over and over, in interviews, tweets and campaign rallies.

So here are some of the highlights — and lowlights — of Trump’s announcement on June 18 that he will run for reelection.

ADVERTISING

“We went through the greatest witch hunt in political history. The only collusion was committed by the Democrats, the fake news media, and their operatives, and the people who funded the phony dossier: Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC.”

Trump often seeks to deflect attention from the special counsel’s investigation of his 2016 campaign by asserting that it was the Democrats who colluded with Russia.

But he has little evidence to make his case, which largely rests on the fact that the law firm Democrats hired to examine Trump’s Russia ties, Perkins Coie, was working to defend a Russian company in U.S. court at the same time.

In fact, U.S. intelligence agencies determined that Russian operatives hacked and strategically released Democratic leaders’ emails during the 2016 campaign to damage Clinton’s candidacy, help Trump win and erode confidence in U.S. democracy.

Charlie Abourezk said...

Faced with our seeming powerlessness during the current administration, our worst enemy can be our own cynicism and surrender to despair. That is surely a win for an authoritarian, immoral presidency focused primarily on destroying government and handing off its reins to private business and predatory capitalism, and completing the transfer of wealth in America to the few.

We cannot ever believe we are powerless, that our situation is permanent, or that the details of how it is all being done to our country don’t matter. We must keep a record in our own consciousness, and scrawl it on the walls of our social circles.

When Trump’s dictator friends smother democracy and kill human and civil rights, we have to know the details and how it was done, and be as offended as we are of the assault upon our own activists.

When Trump wears us down by his frequent, even daily violation of the law and our democratic norms, we must not only make a record of it, but support those organizations and individuals who are keeping his administration strapped down with lawsuits, like Lilliputians tying down a dangerous Gulliver, one who wants to eviscerate government to prepare for his return to the private sector, because after all, every move he makes has the picture in his mind of one beneficiary - himself.

Every day we spend watching the dismantlement of government and society, we are growing stronger. Without realizing it, Trump is creating an American majority that will last for decades, one that is sure of it’s own anti-racism, it’s sense of fairness and inclusion, of the rightness of human and civil rights, of the need to make certain the poor, working class and middle class will no longer slide out of our consciousness while we self-indulge in consumerism.

Be patient, but stay active, it all counts, especially by keeping our consciousness activated and prepared for our great leap forward as a society. There is more Trump behind us than there is in front of us, of that I am positive.

Interesting tid bit.....Seems McConnell is the biggest impediment in the current administration...

e the election, the FBI told President Obama about possible Russian interference, and he did nothing because he thought that Hillary Clinton, Crooked Hillary, was going to win. … He did nothing.”

During the 2016 election campaign, the Obama administration raised alarms over possible interference by Moscow. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at the time “raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics,” The Washington Post reported.

Just weeks before the election, the Obama administration announced that Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee. On Dec. 29, 2016, Obama imposed sanctions, including the expulsion of some three dozen Russian diplomats and intelligence officials and the closure of diplomatic compounds.

nope. not at all like FDR's camps, nazi concentration camps, or death/concentration camps from any era in history.

the key difference?

anyone in the migrant camps is free to return to their home country.

they're being held against their will to be in the US ILLEGALLY.

they're free to return to whatever third-world shit hole they hail from.


it takes a liberal to take an issue so basic and so fundamental and obfuscate and twist it beyond all rational and sane comprehension.


Many of AOC's wet nurses tried to make the distinction between concentration camps and death camps to back up her foolish assertion. Let me tell you the difference. The people who are detained in the U.S. "concentration camps" are there of their own accord. They left their countries willingly and came to request asylum in the U.S. If asylum hopefuls wanted to leave and return to their own country, they could do that. By contrast, Jews did not willingly present themselves to the concentration camps. They were not free to go home if they wanted. Jews were taken from their communities in countries where they lived, they were rounded up, and millions were killed. That was the plan, it was the final solution. The U.S. is not planning to exterminate the migrants. We did not seek them out and forcibly bring them here. So no, there are not "concentration camps" in the home of the free. Thank you and goodnight.
