Payments to company owned by Ocasio-Cortez aide come under scrutiny [View all] lapucelle Jul 2019 OP

this guy is all about himself. he worked on wall street and silicon valley JI7 Jul 2019 #1

Let's reserve judgment until all the facts are in? Ponietz Jul 2019 #6

We'll never know much about the payment.... George II Jul 2019 #12

If those details serve Drumpfuck by dividing us further I think we'll hear about them soon. Ponietz Jul 2019 #15

this has already been looked at stopdiggin Jul 2019 #53

Dog's got a bone... gtar100 Jul 2019 #2

What dog has what bone? What does that even mean? lapucelle Jul 2019 #3

What's funny? lapucelle Jul 2019 #16

Thanks, but we already fed our dog tonight. George II Jul 2019 #14

That is not very nice. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #18

I'm thinking that they are saying the OP has an ax to grind with AOC and or her chief of staff. UniteFightBack Jul 2019 #39

No, it's a saying. Not saying anything about the op. gtar100 Jul 2019 #45

You know perfectly well that's not what they meant melman Jul 2019 #46

Are you saying you'd rather this be covered up Cha Jul 2019 #20

Nope. Just that it will be used to to distract us from the core messages gtar100 Jul 2019 #48

No it won't.. her COS is doing that all by himself. Cha Jul 2019 #50

I hate that the right-wingers exposed this but OKNancy Jul 2019 #4

WaPo picked up the story and reported it as news. lapucelle Jul 2019 #7

I agree.. I have no problem with your post at all. OKNancy Jul 2019 #8

Thanks. Apparently somebody thinks a "dog has a bone". lapucelle Jul 2019 #9

But that person failed to disclose whether he or she thought that it was a prime soup bone, Blue_true Jul 2019 #11

Seems there is some scraps on this bone. Fuck em. nt UniteFightBack Jul 2019 #40

Sharice Davids? sheshe2 Jul 2019 #17

That's disgusting. lapucelle Jul 2019 #21

Excellent question and I don't have a clue. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #24

Maybe she agrees with him and shares his views. comradebillyboy Jul 2019 #55

Hardly surprising. Didn't the justice democrats support her primary opponent? GulfCoast66 Jul 2019 #29

Yes they did, GulfCoast. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #30

I find the whole 'racist but does not know it' spin particularly insulting GulfCoast66 Jul 2019 #33

Yes, as did Senator Sanders obamanut2012 Jul 2019 #65

Yep. They are playing from the same score. GulfCoast66 Jul 2019 #70

She is also a civil rights attorney obamanut2012 Jul 2019 #64

Chakabarti again.. what is Cha Jul 2019 #19

seeing as you made an OP of this RW-pushed tosh, I shall reply as I did when you slipped it into a Celerity Jul 2019 #23

I'm sure if you wanted to you could have found non-right wing sources for most, if not all... George II Jul 2019 #26

there are very few non RW stories on it, and I used a couple, plus it IS a RW-started story Celerity Jul 2019 #27

The OP was based on a Washington Post article. Ask trump if they're a "right wing" source. George II Jul 2019 #28

This message was self-deleted by its author Celerity Jul 2019 #32

they got the story from RW sources, and it was a RW non profit who filed the complaint Celerity Jul 2019 #34

The OP's source is the Washington Post obamanut2012 Jul 2019 #66

yes, but WaPo is simplying reporting a RW-started, RW-spread (ALL before the WaPo story) series of Celerity Jul 2019 #68

Thank you Celerity LiberalLovinLug Jul 2019 #111

Thirteen of those disgusting right wing sources post-date the Washinton Post story. lapucelle Jul 2019 #44

as I showed in multiple posts, the entire thing was started by a RW podcaster, then a RW non-profit Celerity Jul 2019 #67

Pls give us the short version. What's your take on this? Any merit to the allegations? brush Jul 2019 #52

There could be some merit, it certainly bears looking into.... George II Jul 2019 #57

Thanks. Sounds like some fast maneuvering going on with the funds. brush Jul 2019 #61

Here are some of the details (I did this earlier in the year, had to check the numbers): George II Jul 2019 #63

I think JD, OR, BNC and Chakrabarti Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #88

My link is to the Washington Post. lapucelle Jul 2019 #42

In addition, the tweets from Chakabarti speak for themselves still_one Jul 2019 #54

Chakrabarti gave an interview to the Washinton Post magazine that was published this week. lapucelle Jul 2019 #56

Thanks. The more he opens his mouth, the more he exposes himself still_one Jul 2019 #58

So he's putting money over the climate? George II Jul 2019 #59

It's been a while since it was last posted in March. Autumn Jul 2019 #60

Paul Krugman agreed that is was a dodgy attack on progressives Celerity Jul 2019 #62

Wow melman Jul 2019 #69

Yes. Autumn Jul 2019 #71

I am going to argue quite forcefully that there can never be too many facepalms in this matter. betsuni Jul 2019 #118

OMG sheshe2 Jul 2019 #119

Exactly!!! A perfect example of double speak. still_one Jul 2019 #82

When anyone says a person color actions are racist, they are calling them racist. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #84

I think all of this is just sour grapes on the part of Mr. Chakrabarti. Remember: George II Jul 2019 #86

LOL. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #87

That may have added insult to injury in the mind of Chakrabarti once Davids won... George II Jul 2019 #89

77 to 7... sheshe2 Jul 2019 #97

I actually mistyped - it was 7 of 79, or 8.8% George II Jul 2019 #99

So it is worse. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #100

Yeah .. 95% of the candidates espousing that ideology LOST n/t Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #90

This is about Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, NOT AOC. Here's Cenk's explanation. lapucelle Jul 2019 #85

So says Cenk, the multi millionaire. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #94

Chakrabarti is a multi-millionaire, probably many times over. He was the founding engineer.... George II Jul 2019 #95

ty....speaking truth to power is so important questionseverything Jul 2019 #102

your username is, alas, becoming an extraordinarily tendentious and disliked way of carrying Celerity Jul 2019 #104

WHY is this guy running his mouth? He needs to STFU and just do his job. We have AOC to tweet shit UniteFightBack Jul 2019 #41
