Our Adorable Congresswoman-Elect Niece Hits the Ground Running
[guest post by JVW]
After cakewalking to an Election Day victory with 78% of the vote (so much for all that talk that Joe Crowley’s jilted constituents would stage an insurrection and elect him on the Working Families Party ticket), everyone’s favorite daffy socialist niece, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the Bronx by way of Long Island Westchester County, has embarked upon her own fun remake of Ms. Stalin Goes to Washington. Our favorite Lipstick Lenin, She Guevara (I’ve got a bunch of these), immediately instigated a brouhaha by announcing that she couldn’t immediately move to Washington, DC to start working on setting up her office, since she can’t afford rent there until her Congressional salary kicks in once she is sworn in. This has had the predictable effect of eliciting two rote responses: those of her supporters who argued that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s financial difficulties only burnish her credentials as an ordinary working-class New Yorker, and those of her critics who argued that she is a typical progressive millennial who despite having several months to plan ahead is incapable of caring for herself without relying upon handouts.
But more important than any housing intrigue, the funnest part of watching our Kewpie doll of a legislator take her first public steps outside of the cocoon of leftist adulation is to see her strike back against Democrats that she feels are insufficiently progressive. As noted in the NYT article linked in the previous paragraph, our Macy’s Marxist has riled up some fellow members of the new majority by suggesting that she will continue to support socialist challenges to entrenched Democrat incumbents during the 2020 election cycle, no matter if it endangers seats. She also played coy all summer on whether or not she would support Batty Aunt Nancy’s attempt to return to the Speaker’s Chair, and as of today will only say that they spoke on the phone but that the mama bear didn’t ask the cub for her endorsement. But Congresswoman-elect Ocasio-Cortez did pay a very special visit to former-and-maybe-future-Speaker Pelosi’s Washington office earlier today, joining a sit-in on the leader’s turf to protest what greenies think is inaction on climate change (the headline writer at Salon wants to give her credit for leading the protest). As they say in the old movies, that’s a fine how-do-you-do for the woman who expects you to soon be taking marching orders from her.
And I love it.
As much room as there is to criticize the dopiness and studied ignorance of her political beliefs, you have to hand it to Our Adorable (If Crazy) Niece for declining to play the cynical Washington game where the same old fossils return to their positions of power, the same key NGOs and lobbyists reclaim their positions in the hierarchy, and the same nanny-statism served with a dollop of crony capitalism is offered up as “progressive change.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is here to remind Democrats that a whole lot of them campaigned on socialist policies, and that they will have to be dealt with. After watching eight years of the GOP House trying to navigate between the House Freedom Caucus, the incrementalists, and the time-servers there to feather their own nests, I’m looking forward to the Dems trying to placate all of the knotty branches of their coalition of crazies.
ADDENDUM: My Heavens, I must be going senile. I also meant to write about Our Adorable Temporarily Homeless Niece coming out strongly against the deal that her fellow Democrats, Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo, cut with Amazon in order to get one of the new massive distribution centers built in Queens, though typical of someone has unserious as de Blasio, he’s trying to have his cake and eat it too, lest his staunch leftist credentials be called into question. The Congresswoman-elect rightfully points out that the tax breaks that Cuomo and de Blasio have blessed to land the operation are awfully steep, and that this sort of dealmaking offered to the big guys but not smaller businesses is an ugly sort of crony capitalism regrettably popular with both parties. She also points out that the high-paying jobs coming into Queens and Long Island will further complicate the ability to find affordable housing in the metro area, thereby reminding us of the inevitable clash between economic progress and affordability. Democrats are going to have fun dealing with her over the next few years.

Having praised her for displaying the sand to show up her party leader, it’s worth noting that Nancy Pelosi was in New York while all of this went on, not at her Washington office. Our Adorable Congresswoman Niece’s moxie only goes so far.

In the past this wasn’t such a problem when a newly-elected Congressman went to Washington, but perhaps modern ethics provisions make it difficult to accept a gift of free lodging and they seem to expected to start doing too many things before their term begins.

Don’t know if you saw the addendum, but I agree with her almost 100% in her opposition to the tax breaks New York City and State gave to Amazon.
JVW (42615e) — 11/13/2018 @ 7:48 pmAnd Di Blasio waved his cigar at her and told her that now that she was in Congress he would expect her to make up for it by taxing the rest of the country and sending the money to New York by way of federal pork.
nk (dbc370) — 11/13/2018 @ 8:39 pmNo doubt she’ll end up choosing to live in spartan accommodations, where anyone off the street can crash on her couch and raid her fridge. This seems to be the abode of choice of every socialist open borders type, whether it’s Bernie or de Blasio.

Our Daffy Niece can emulate her party’s sentimental hero, Joe Biden, and ride the train to and fro. She can ride the 6:00 pm Acela Express from Union Station in Washington and be at Penn Station in Manhattan at 8:49 pm, or the 7:10 pm Northeast Regional and be in NYC at 10:34 pm. Then she can take the next morning 6:00 am Acela Express and reach Washington at 8:55 am. Congress doesn’t start very early, if I recall correctly, and I think Biden figured out a way to get the taxpayer to partially subsidize his commute and can probably tell her how that’s done.

One of the articles about her housing woes referred to Ocasio-Cortez and “her partner.” I’m old enough to remember when that was a euphemism for a same-sex relationship, but I guess these days it’s passé to say “boyfriend” or “girlfriend,” let alone “roommate” or the fuddy-duddy “fiancé” (even when no engagement had been entered into) so partner it is. Her crazy is his problem (and ours).
JVW (42615e) — 11/13/2018 @ 11:52 pmever since aoc won n.y. primary the right has fallen deeply in love with ms. ocasio-cortez. she has been on fox news continuously and conservative media. its a love/hate relationship but aren’t most relationship? the laders of my generation during the late 1960’s hayden,fonda et.al. flamed out risk taking. those who stayed in the shadows and played it safe clintons. bush’s romney trump were rewarded by the corporate state and establishment though with trump it was kicking and screaming as he understood their weakness. as the romulen commandersaid of the enterprise capt. kirk he is doing what I would have done stay back look for weakness and trump found the weakness!

I’m sorry to disagree, but the woman who continued to act in popular Hollywood movies, made a bundle off of the exercise craze in the early 80s, and then married (and divorced) a very wealthy businessman in Ted Turner can hardly be said to have flamed out. And Tom Hayden merely enjoyed a long career as a leftwing politician in the California legislature and as a Santa Monica councilman, as well as a writer and a university lecturer. They are hardly some sort of cautionary tale of 60s excess, let alone karma. I’m going to have to disagree with your historical assessment there.

Tillman (61f3c8) — 11/14/2018 @ 1:13 pmTillman… please follow teh rules, your comments are derogatory in nature and do not elevate teh discussion.

Colonel Haiku (97712e) — 11/14/2018 @ 1:20 pmIn my opinion. Otherwise your attempts to highlight two nutcases and efforts to legitimize neo-National Socialism ring hollow.

Don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I think it’s just awesome that a burned-out grumpy Boomer like Charles P. Pierce of Esquire is seeking to reinvent himself as a fanboi to our Delightfully Daffy Congresswoman Niece. It’s a nice way to ride off into the sunset of your journalistic relevancy (such that it ever was).

As in? Who, on the left has been killing Jewish people, pray tell?
Tillman (61f3c8) — 11/14/2018 @ 2:19 pmDo you need even more headlines of the right desecrating Jews, JVW? I was just getting started. I can provide plenty more if you’re going to act that dense.
Tillman (61f3c8) — 11/14/2018 @ 2:21 pmWho, on the left has been killing Jewish people, pray tell?
Without looking it up, tell us who is more likely to be playing footsie with Hamas and Hezbollah: neo-Nazi American right-wingers, or radical leftist academics? Mrs. May’s Tory party in the UK, or Mr. Corbyn’s Labor party?
JVW (773988) — 11/14/2018 @ 2:27 pmDo you need even more headlines of the right desecrating Jews, JVW? I was just getting started. I can provide plenty more if you’re going to act that dense.
And no doubt that’s exactly what you will do, but I’m going to be ignoring your selective outrage for the rest of the day.
JVW (773988) — 11/14/2018 @ 2:28 pmYou’re trying to change the subject. A bunch of Nazi’s go around shouting “Jews will not replace us” and our bigot President doesn’t denounce that. That’s a problem – a problem you fail to acknowledge.
Tillman (61f3c8) — 11/14/2018 @ 2:31 pmI don’t think he was referencing that. He was talking about the idea of opposing the tearibng doown of Confederate statues, which is one way the demonstration had been portrayed.
Now the actual people in Charlottsville by that time – this was about the third demonstration – were not simply people who opposed tearing down Confederate monuments. Those people were gone.
But he could be excused for not knowing that. Now you could argue that maybe he did, but thought other people did not but that’s certainly not on the surface..
And how could he be in favor of people who say “Jews will not replace us” when i point of fact, to a degree, Jews are replacing him??

For centuries, men have had their chance to rule government with middling-to-poor results. Who’s ready to let women take charge completely? Just women. I know I am.
