Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

You don't know what war is until you shop at Trader Joe's. That's a traumatic experience.

He frequently references his "personal Vietnam". He has done it too many times now for it just to have been an attempt at humor. Trump is attempting to trivialize dodging the draft when he does this.

Just imagine what the world would have been like if Trump had served in Vietnam and contracted a STD from a hooker. Mean tweets & orange face combined with STD irritation! You should happy America avoided WW3.

 

[KB5252]

No. That wasn't a complaint. I was signaling my own intention to use a "what-about-ism".

Ah, I see

I'll hold you to the same standards I hold the attorneys who frequently do what you did. You are attempting to discern his intent and the why. I don't believe you have that clairvoyance.

LOL

I've never shopped at Trader Joe's. What's it like?

a traumatic experience?

 

[McDad]

a traumatic experience?

Tyler says it's a war. I wanna know if I should watch Saving Private Ryan to prep myself before going in to a Trader Joe's.

Is this from personal experience? I have been there a few times. What is wrong with TJ?

Good wine selection. That is all I got.

I went to Walmart early in the am on black friday a couple of times. It can't be any worse than that.

I think it would be much more akin to hand to hand combat, I'd suggest 300 in that case.

Since I doubt I will ever looked ripped enough for homoerotic fantasy, I'll just shop at Kroger with the other chubs.

Bad idea. Did you get steam rolled by a soccer mom trying to secure a Samsung plasma TV?

No. But a snot nosed little brat kicked me in the shins when we both reached for the same bag of Christmas Kit Kats. Little bass turd called me an "old man too fat for kit kats".

I've only been once and it sucked. Terrible parking lot, the design of the store was weird, absolute craziness inside the store, didn't really have anything that I was looking for.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I think it was really hyped up to me before I went. Overall there's nothing special about it IMO. Nothing really stood out other than the fact that the design of the store causes people to repeatedly run into one another.

Hipsters can get combative and their slap fights are fierce.

Kelley Winslow Jr. shops there.

I'm 6'3" 285#s. I'd have to buy that t-shirt with abs to shop at TJ's. Even then I'm afraid I'd more resemble a busted can of biscuits.

They must’ve been out of x- small condoms.

anyways, back to AOC.

these quotes are in sequential order from the article:
“After the 6th I took some time and it was really Ayanna Pressley when I explained to her what happened to me, like the day of, because I ran to her office and she was like, ‘you need to recognisz trauma’.”

The progressive lawmaker revealed that she is in therapy to cope with the trauma she experienced from the storming of the Capitol.

“Oh yeah, I’m doing therapy but also I’ve just slowed down. I think the Trump administration had a lot of us, especially Latino communities, in a very reactive mode.”


Ocasio-Cortez said that she learned the importance of recognizing trauma when her father passed away when she was young.

“That happened at a young age and I locked it away. You have to live with it for years.”

She needs to recognize trauma and credits Pressley. But she had already learned the importance of recognizing trauma from her childhood. LatinoUSA is likely winning a Pulitzer for Journalism with this interview.

I love how someone else has to tell her she’s traumatized. That must be some pretty serious trauma to not even recognize it when her victim antenna is always up.

Don't discount the amount of effort required to be traumatized by an event in a place you weren't at.

Eventually, as each party moves further from center, I expect her to be in a position for SOH within a few terms.

Her radical ideas will be the norm and viewed as acceptable among the entire party.

Just think about that. Someone with ZERO real world experience being in that position. And watching it all happen.

Be sure to take lotsa stinky bombs. It's in the manual.
