Guess what (and other stupidities)

Our worst Congresswoman trying to make her points again.

Meanwhile, the worst Congressman is still a white supremacist.

If it's up to me, I'll take my chances with the Socialist from NYC instead of the Nazi thug from Iowa.

As a footnote, King is on the record as saying there's no way to tell if the sea level is rising because we don't know where the sea level is.

Now, THAT is some stupidity right there, sports fans!

Have people not learned from the horrible past of the Nazis?

We don’t know where sea level is even, let alone be able to say that it’s going to come up an inch globally because some polar ice caps might melt because there’s CO2 suspended in the atmosphere,

I'm really not trying to defend him, but he did invent the internet, so he probably got his zebra facts from Wikipedia.

You could fill a book with nutty quotes from that guy.

MIT Professor:  "Sea level is a hard thing to measure, actually."
I suppose you think this guy is another white supremacist.

Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tried to pander to her Bronx constituents by claiming she doesn’t know what a garbage disposal is because she grew up in the ‘hood, where garbage disposals don’t exist. (Yes, they do.)

For the record, AOC grew up in the posh hamlet of Yorktown Heights in Westchester, New York, where the median household income is a cushy $96,000 a year.  That’s almost double the U.S. average, which is $53,000 a year.
 
She made the laughable claim about discovering what a garbage disposal is at the age of 29 in a contrived Instagram video:

Good lord that bitch....

She is a world class joke! and sadly a bad one.

[Vyn]

This crap in my skull, what am I supposed to use it for?

[Zzzptm]

AOC grew up there because her family - not just parents - worked hard at multiple jobs to afford living there. Prior to that, they were in a pretty rough Bronx apartment. She's a fresh voice that takes a lot of crap because she actually took down a career politician, and the major interests that that guy supported want to see her gone. I recently watched a documentary with her in it. Admittedly, it was putting her in a positive light, but that positive light didn't strike me as incongruous with what she was saying and doing. I think she'll do a fine job.

Back to the garbage disposal, they were banned in NYC until 1997. They didn't catch on much after that. Other things missing from most NYC apartments are washers, dryers, and central air conditioning.

As for the sea level thing...

1. Measuring the mean sea level is a thing, and it's tricky to do, but it gets done. And it's rising.
2. That professor is making pretty much a "rational markets" argument, saying that humans are adaptable, we'll be fine in the long run. While, yes, I can also do with less sensationalism in how the media handles a lot of things, there's still the matter of Houston flooding, again and again. There's the issues with beachfront communities up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Yes, we're adaptable, but the disasters impact us in the short run, and the pain they inflict is real.

And nowhere did I say a person with a contrarian view regarding prevailing views in climatology is a white supremacist. How ironic, posting a brief interview with a guy decrying sensationalism and then going sensationalist.

No she takes a lot of crap because she is something that could have been starring in the movie dumb and dumber as the dumbest.
