    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Forbes: "In September 2021, a conservative watchdog filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics after Ocasio-Cortez attended the Met Gala, suggesting that her ticket may have be an impermissible gift. A spokesperson for the congresswoman did not respond to an email asking if the investigation involved Ocasio-Cortez’s appearance at the gala."

        Leaving open the question of which offense was worse, accepting the ticket as a gift or that godawful fugly gown she wore.

        But seriously, if she's guilty I hope they hang her high. Figuratively speaking, of course.

          My thoughts exactly.

          Although I'm sure she is not popular with party leadership. It still may be almost undoubtedly is political.

                                  She's only 33 years old. There's plenty of time.

                                  She could be POTUS in 2 years!

                                  Only if she can beat Marjorie Taylor Greene.

                                  Oh, thanks. I really needed THAT mental picture.

                                  If that happens I’m changing my name to “None of the above” and running a third party bid.

                                      Really disappointing. I'm going to think twice before supporting AOC going forward.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        Depends on the type of support.

                                        Lift and separate? I’m in. Contribute and vote? Nope.

                                        Thank you for your attention to this matter.
