Trump's fat ass in order for him to even appear at the hearing.

That's why the low-level criminals on the Right -- such as Jordan -- are so frightened of her.

To the point: she asked questions on topic and extracted substantive answers. Jordan -- who can never be mistaken for anything western civilization defines as a "man" -- just sneered and insulted.

That both of these folks should appear on the same committee presents a fascinating look at what is good and promising in American politics (AOC) versus the sludge that Congressional toilets spew when they back up (that would be Jordan -- but also every other Trump-ass-kisser on the committee.)

(Oh, and they also hate her because she's extremely intelligent, attractive, articulate, principled, and personable -- the exact type of woman who stares burning laser beams through the shallow, self-inflated egos of the GOP male sub-species. Are you listening, soon to be disbarred Mr. Gaetz?)

I am so excited to see the House get cleaned up from the bilge that has been backing up in the hallways and backing up good governance.

The American people elected some absolutely outstanding Representatives in 2018, more than enough -- in the House, at any rate -- to counteract the Republican Trumpers there who seem bent on bringing the Republic to ruin.

I feel something bordering on pride again! And hope!

And both pride and hope will cross the border as soon as we replace enough of the sycophantic Republican Senators with good, progressive women (well, OK, some men, too -- but the new women in the House are just impressing the heck out of me so much I can only imagine the same in the Senate!) and also kick Trump and his residue out of the White House. When that happens, my heart will swell up -- but in a good way!

move into more leadership roles. The white males (me) have really f'cked things up - not all and not always intentionally. But we need more voices, more perspectives. Thanks for your posts VET71.

Let's support many more progressive women (and men), free of PAC support, in the 2020 elections.

It's incumbent upon us genuine American souls to DESTROY the GOP at every level of government, most especially in Congress and the White House.

They've earned oblivion!
