Leading member of the Democrats' brain trust

Sounds like something she would say. Paco, you could have a special subthread in the Sunday Funnies, or a specific day for the compilation of her weekly stupidity. Or a contest offering only the top-shelf prizes from a Paco Subsidiary.

I shake my head every time I see her, and wonder how people voted for her.

She does seem to be spectacularly ignorant, even for a Democrat. But Democrats have been cloaking their ignorance with emotional narratives for decades (Save the whales! Save the planet! Do it for the children!), and it appears to work for them. We'll know soon enough whether she is genuinely stupid, as well. I am not optimistic.

Not only is Occasional-Cortex woefully ignorant, she also has the same crazy eyes that Cynthia McKinney had (remember her? She slapped a Capitol cop for not knowing who she was).

They seem to think that beginning from the basic, not biblical, but biological bacterial beginnings of life, is where we need to begin our relations with each other.

This seems appropriate: “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” ― Ronald Reagan

Altho, I suspect in AOC's case, she touches both bases.

Jonah I figured out a Brexit summary if you're still interested. 3 options being discussed:

1. 'no deal' exit, falling back to WTO agreements, dealing with EU like any other nation. Which will hurt some people and bureaucracy in the short term who have businesses on both sides of the Channel. (Also not clear, to deal with EU as a whole or as individual states?) And EU may impose penalty (did Trump tell May 'just sue them back'?, scary maybe for some.)

2. May's deal which tries to please everyone but leaves Brits vulnerable to EU law override in the small print. (Germans follow philosopher Kant - pronounced 'c*nt' - who started germ of globalist UN idea with supposedly unbeatable logic, never argue with a German!)

3. No Brexit...

I blame Immanuel Kant myself. Great theory, doesn't work in the real world.

It's like team sport, you can strategise up the wahzoo, but it comes down to a good leader with ambitious smart 'hungry' players, which the Brits seem to lack these days. Or those good people have left the UK to get rich out in the wider world, and left the mediocre to manage back home.
