AOC ICE Rapists

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that she may quit politics in an interview with the New York Times released on Saturday, stating that she had considered not even running for a second term and that the stress and interpersonal hostility of serving in Congress had soured her towards serving in Congress.

“I genuinely don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year,” admitted Ocasio-Cortez in response to a question about the possibility of her running for the US Senate. The freshman congresswoman went on to cite “stress” and “violence” as experiences that had

“It’s the incoming. It’s the stress. It’s the violence. It’s the lack of support from your own party. It’s your own party thinking you’re the enemy. When your own colleagues talk anonymously in the press and then turn around and say you’re bad because you actually append your name to your opinion.”

Ocasio-Cortez went on to clarify that she did in fact ultimately run for reelection(which she secured last week) in order to prove that her brand of progressive socialism wasn’t a fluke, and would be sustainable as a political movement.

The progressive congresswoman has been feuding with Congressional Democrats in the wake of the election, which saw Democrats lose five seats in an election where they expected to pick up seats. The factions of the Democratic Party both blame one another for the poor returns, with neoliberals claiming that allusions to ‘socialism’ damaged Democratic prospects.

Bernie Sanders is at least a hardened ideologue willing for fight for the merits of his democratic socialist political ideals even if he’s met with scorn and rejection from the corrupt Democratic establishment. AOC seems to be little more than a textbook millennial narcissist who can’t accept skepticism and criticism.

With “leaders” like these, it’s no wonder the socialist-Left element of the Democratic Party is little more than an inept lapdog for politically ruthless establishment Democrats.

ANOTHER PHONY? Sen. Josh Hawley Does Nothing to Oppose Big Tech Visa Giveaway for Indian Nationals

Hawley’s silence is deafening.

Yesterday, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was able to pass S. 386 with unanimous consent in the Senate. The legislation is a green card giveaway lobbied for by Big Tech that will flood America with cheap Indian labor and displace native workers.

Lee has been exposed as a lawmaker who is in the back pocket of Silicon Valley monopolists at war with the Bill of Rights and Constitution:

While it is expected that Lee would completely sell America out, the silence from his colleagues who have claimed to vehemently oppose Big Tech has been far more suspicious. The unwillingness of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) to oppose the measure has caused him to lose credibility among the populist “America First” base.

Big League Politics reported on how not one GOP senator had the courage to offer opposition to Lee’s big government giveaway to third-world foreigners at the behest of tech corporations who hate free speech:

Utah Senator Mike Lee succeeded in passing legislation in the Senate that would eliminate per-country-caps on recipients of H-1B visas on Wednesday, a policy change that would effectively monopolize the visa system for nationals of large countries such as India.

The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act has been called the greatest corporate welfare program for Big Tech in recent memory. Lee has persistently sought to pass the corporate giveaway, with previous attempts to eliminate per-country-caps being blocked by Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Rick Scott. Neither Senator objected to the unanimous passage of the modified S386 legislation on Wednesday afternoon.

Big Tech monopolies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have fervently lobbied in favor of eliminating per-country caps, seeking to replace their American workforces with de facto indentured workers who accept lower wages and worse working conditions. The pervasive use of the H-1B visa in the American technology industry has displaced countless American workers from their careers.

Lee’s giveaway doesn’t specifically raise annual H-1B visa rates, although an increase in numbers of visa workers would be a likely consequence of its enactment. It’s expected that the program will be dominated by Indian nationals in the event that Lee’s HR1044/S386 is signed into law, providing massive corporations with a considerable labor pool willing to work for less in return for an American visa.

The legislation was most recently updated with a provision blocking Chinese nationals from using the H-1B program. This provision appears to have been instrumental in securing its passage through the Senate.

It appears that Hawley is attempting to co-opt President Trump’s movement without offering much of anything in terms of real substance.
