Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has secured a seat on the powerful House Financial Services Committee, which oversees Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to confirm the news Tuesday night with a message reading, “Financial Services is one of just four exclusive committees in the House. It oversees big banks, lending, and the financial sector. I am very grateful for the opportunity to sit on this committee as a freshman, and look forward to working under the leadership of @RepMaxineWaters! https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2019/01/ocasio-cortez-financial-services-committee.html How did Alexandria Occasionally-Conscious land this? she has only been in there 5 mins, apart from waiting tables, what experience does she have for this role?

easy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Zzzep, you are asking the wrong question(s)....how did o become prez with really no experience.. is along the same lines and now K Harris is following his path Charles Ortel and Jason Goodman discussed her a bit 2 episodes back as both live in NYC and both know many people there...she came out of No Where..and got elected.. who are her backers?...qui bono? this appmt shows Maxine Waters following instructions as well. Should o-c be there?..it's an insult to the American people really..however most have no idea..and without msm, she would be unknown...why is msm making her news when she isn't? imo, better 'hope' dt keeps marching forward...the wall/fence woke, helped break into many people's awareness...one at a time and o-c will be uncovered ..lol, again imo only and for those who don't like him, o-c is available. again imo there is nothing grass roots about this..this is msm, this is a fairy tale expanded to pretend that 'Sandy' is really smart and knows everything needed when she instead has offered free everything with no price tag ...oh, upping the tax rate ....who is really you and I and probably everyone on this board . The very wealthy know how to 'hide' their wealth so it's not taxed.. Again who are her backers?? Those backers in turn direct MSM... Interesting how the propaganda starts using 'words' (grass roots) to develop their scenario and sucker people into the story line.

Well, she is a former bar tender who had absolutely no life savings and wondered how she was going to pay rent in DC, so there is that. More likely is that she was promised certain things to get her to vote for Pelosi as Speaker.

Looks like Armstrong agrees... Quote If you ever needed proof that government is collapsing, here it is live and in full color. Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) (Zep: Alexandria Occasionally-Conscious) was just placed on the House Financial Services Committee. Who is the Chairperson? None other than the controversial Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). 9 (Zep: a complete nutter) We now have two people with absolutely NO expertise in this field going to overlook banks and Wall Street. This illustrates the entire problem and crisis we face. This like directing me to operate as a Brain Surgeon without any consideration if I even understand the field no less have any experience. We can count on wild and crazy statements coming from this committee that will disrupt the world economy and confuse the hell out of people. It certainly appears with every step we take, we are moving in the direction of a complete collapse in confidence. I can’t imagine the bond market will survive comments coming from these two pillars of financial stupidity. You cannot be the boss of people in an office if you do not even understand what the work is all about. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/ocasio-cortez-gets-seat-on-house-financial-services-committee-overseeing-wall-street/ Edited January 18, 2019 by i need the Zep Romans828IsTrue, easy and bzpal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpoke Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 These committee appointments are strictly for resume building. These two are being groomed for higher positions in the future by being given a resume that makes it look like they should know something. It also puts them in a position where they will be heavily and constantly indoctrinated by TPTB. Being on these committees means they will be speaking daily with the "leaders of industry". These two are very much like Maxine Waters, in that they were chosen to appeal to very specific groups, and the plan is to use them to control these groups. People wonder why they don't seem to be very intelligent. That was part of the search for candidates. They don't want to develop real leaders, they want people that are easy to control. bzpal and easy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blankenb Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) 1) The Nancy Pelosi 7 day trip to Europe was in essence Nancy and 6 Angry Democrats going to meet with angry NATO (angry at having to pay their fair share) to plot the demise of @realDonaldTrump . ... 2) Also, it wasn't just 7 angry Democrats. It was their extended families too, 93 of them. We, the People were footing the bill to fly 7 Congressmen and 93 FAMILY MEMBERS around the World. 3) Isn't it interesting that Nancy Pelosi had ALL her Children and ALL her Grandchildren booked on that flight? If I didn't know any better I'd say someone might have been running...

This did not include costs for accommodations, meals, rental cars, ski lift tickets, or attendant costs for U.S. Secret Service personnel.

equanimity Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 This whole thing is so interesting to watch! Within the last two administrations, we've watched the all-out weaponization of the presidency, the secretary of state, and the speaker of the house. Now we have two of the most repellent personalities in DC having a playground pissing party over the shutdown, using all the devious weapons they each possess. This is an issue that either one could resolve in a minute with either a simple concession or an act of creativity, one that steps outside the box and opens the way for a new stage of dialogue. If they aren't doing it, it's because the cost to their political franchise hasn't become too great yet. It looks to me as if DT is betting that the Democrats are losing ground faster than he is. This is a perverse way to measure "winning", but in this race-to-the-bottom script, I guess that a bounce is expected after the depth of the trough is hit. Or, another way of saying this is, two fighters enter, one remains. gigi and silyeone 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump doesn't have a franchise, he is hanging out everything he's got without any support from the people he has rescued from oblivion, and they are too compromised to appreciate it. He is on his own, and if we don't support him, the globalists win. The pissing contest is fun.... I wonder what his private discussions are about, how he will out-maneuver the next big play against him. I hope he's having the time of his life, with this biggest challenge he's ever experienced!

equanimity Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm getting a little worried about my big-hearted California liberal brother. He just left on vacation to hang out with his daughter and his first grandchild. She is and has always been a Republican, though of a very modern and libertarian stripe. The young family lives down in horse country, southern california, inland from the clinton archipelago along the coastline. He called me up last night with his usual sense of "gotcha" at the news of the new Cohen rumors, and I could hear hope rising in his voice. Since he and I talked, Mueller's office has officially denied that the Buzzfeed article conforms to the facts of his investigation. This is going to be a crushing blow to brother dear, as I believe Mueller's very rare act of disclosure is the beginning of the unraveling of the probe.

Greenmeadow Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 You do wonder how some people will survive the cognitive dissonance. People who have been able to trust the authority structures in our society may have to realize that much of what they have been taught, lived with and believed their whole lives are lies. I have a feeling that many will try to try to deflect blame and make excuses for authority just to keep some order in their world view. As much as I have wanted change, I think this slow exposure of problems has had some kindness to it. So people can start to adjust. These days people are being confronted all the time with people with very different beliefs about shared events. silyeone and easy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have changed much of my thinking in the last 2+ yrs and I don't mind at all!! I no longer believe the US is doomed..nor do I believe the world is doomed.

How he deals with it all, You have no control over....this I tell myself as I live just south of your brother in the no one but dems country..though I am finding more and more people quietly thinking and talking..usually one on one but that's alright. Something I read or was told recently..don't take on his grief! Mind your life! Meanwhile, I pray a lot. I give much thanks often in my day. And sometimes I go, I am 71, in the latter part of my life and yet so much is going on and yet I might 'leave' this place...not sure of it all...just in early stages of wondering justamom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
