Ah. Now comes the Gish Gallop of nonsense.

You have no idea what you’re even arguing for or against at this point, given your frantic dodging.

He wants this to be about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she would take bribes if she doesn't get a raise. That isn't what her quote says on it's face and the idea makes even less sense when read in the context of her overall body of public positions and views. But the twit who twitted it and whom subbie twitted to us said it so that's all subbie can say. It's like the twit was a heavy object that fell on his head and he is concussively repeating, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she wants more money or she'll take bribes!"

Except he always lacks the balls to simply come out and definitively say anything that he can hang his much-needed hat on.

One thing’s for certain - he’s still letting a minor congresscritter from another state live in his head and cause him to repeatedly post imagined nonsense.

An underrated aspect of subgenius's stupidity in this thread is not appreciating that if wages don't increase with the cost of living, then it is an effective pay cut.

The right is consumed with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's effective pay raise from bartender to legislator. That's what this is about.

Speaking of context, feel free to read, with comprehension, what I wrote in the OP and then return/report.

How are you confused about what I "definitively"wrote in the OP?
Is it because balls? are you fixated on balls and can't comprehend the simple notions from the subgenius?...should i shift down to sub-subgenius so you can catch up?

Shift? That would imply that there’s some gear action happening in that skull of yours, and I’m not convinced of that. : D

Your first post stated that you believed that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s pay couldn’t keep her honest. And you posted a moronic tweet from a random nobody as some sort of point that even you cannot make work.

Congrats for doing your best to live up to your forum nic.

Not gear shift, but more like the type of shift you do when you explain how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez considers "dark money loopholes" as honest...and the avoidance of honest can only be achieved by giving her a pay raise.
So, yeah...shift.
