The progressive elements around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz are framing the removal of the Justice Democrat leader, Saikat Chakrabarti, as a move to continue the movement beyond the landscape of AOC. However, in reality it looks like Nancy Pelosi is cracking the whip.
The ultra left-wing “Justice Democrat” movement activated to bring AOC onto the national stage. However, that same movement, led by Saikat Chakrabarti, was openly stating an objective to target incumbent democrats who were not falling into line behind the most severe messaging of the far-left.
Apparently Pelosi said: enough is enough.
WASHINGTON — Two top aides to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are leaving her congressional office, the freshman lawmaker said in a statement Friday.
Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, and Corbin Trent, her communications director, are departing, her statement said. Trent is joining the congresswoman’s campaign and Chakrabarti plans to join New Consensus, a non-profit that is promoting Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal proposal. (more)
Part of the Jusice Democrat moonbat messaging revolves around convincing the world about the Green New Deal; a program founded upon accepting the end of human life on the planet in twelve years, unless the U.S. abandons fossil fuel energy. Apparently what happens in China and India doesn’t matter as much. Bad, bad ‘merica & America sucks.
The moonbat influence is so prevalent to the ideology of the party-base almost every presidential candidate was publicly affirming their support for the proposals of the AOC moonbat caucus. Obviously it doesn’t take a political expert to see how that was causing the 2020 candidate field to look like a bunch of raving mad idiots. [Just ask Bill Maher]
Thus, if Pelosi is going to retain her gavel; and you better believe it will only be removed by prying her fingers from it; the Speaker cannot let this nonsense continue.
More than likely there were a few presidential campaigns having discussions with the DNC about how ridiculous this had become. It seems the final straw that broke Pelosi’s back was the DCCC losing Executive Director Allison Jaslow, and her entire staff, because they just were not ‘woke’ enough for the moonbat activists.
Hell, even Barack Obama is now viewed as a right-wing fascist by the AOC faction who have sworn off breeding because, well, hell they’ve only got a dozen years left to live and they need their college tuition payments absolved before the planet implodes. Weird yes, but that’s the moonbat outlook.
The Democrats are in crisis mode as the platform requires keeping the impeachment nuts satiated, eliminating electricity and automobiles and saving the planet by removing straws from the juice boxes in Youngstown Elementary School. Unfortunately, forcing construction workers in Pennsylvania to eat sustainable algae cakes doesn’t appear to be a talking point Pelosi plans on pushing.
Pelosi is having a hard enough time convincing the AFL-CIO membership to give up their healthcare plan so that Honduran migrants can get free houses; and lately the SEIU is starting to question the value in paying higher taxes just so El Salvador can facilitate sending MS-13 gang members, and the socialists can import cultural exhibitions of medieval disembowelment. As Omar would say: ‘meh, some people chopped something’.
Yup, removing Saikat Chakrabarti is one step in a process that might take a while…
It couldn’t have happened to a nastier Nazi!

Most of the northeastern tribes assimilated. Not all tribes were xenophobic. Not all tribes were hostile. Every human family here lived in fear of disease, insect borne plagues, catastrophic dental infections and lingering trauma of all sorts. Most everyone but the young lived in pain.
There were exceptions but mostly life was for the hardy; harsh, brutish and short.
Only the most xenophobic tribes remain today, xenophobia mostly intact. The late David Yeagley had a remarkable grasp on the early historical era and assimilation. He would state although England and Europe were the mother of early America, the great mostly assimilating robust tribal culture of the northeast was our Father. Our Father’s contribution was, he would say, the ideal of the Brave, the sanctity of the Individual, the mutualism devoted to fair dealing and equal protection under the law. Once American, he would say, it was impossible to go back to the old country and the old ways.
Hopefully his lectures are still on You Tube.
It mostly holds true today. Once American, not many want to go back to the old country or the old ways. Yeagley would say that’s the legacy of the great tribes of the early American era living large in modern times. I can be found nowhere else.

How can a person with an “economics degree” end up working as a bar tender? It depends on the value of the degree and to know that you actually need a copy of her transcript. Keep in mind that she graduated in 4 years with a Bachelor of Arts degree and dear wiki lists it as”Bachelor of Arts degree in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics”. So she got a major in International relations and a major in Economics? Or maybe she got a major in International relations and a disciplinary base in Economics. What would be the difference?
It is all about the rather specific (Boston U’s version of the degree) terminology. For those that wish to and have the time to go beyond “she is a moon bat” ( https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/academics/sites/university-catalog/archive.html . This is the year she started college and has the actual required courses for the degree programs. As of the year she entered the university, the degree program International Studies was a multidisciplinary program with the major focus on international relations and a choice of disciplines of either economics, political science, culture and society, or history. For a “discipline of economics (about 6 courses of which most are lower level. page 163-164). In contrast a BU Economics BA would be 10 core courses and five electives (15). For the 5 electives ” at least three of the five electives must be upper-level courses, i.e., courses with a theory and/or statistics prerequi-site.” [page 96-97]. She could have picked up a second major in Economics, just completing another 9 courses in Economics. How would you know ? You would have to see the transcript.
Thus she may have complete less than half of an Economics degree and at that possibly the easier courses. This is analogous to having Mongolian beef at a Chinese restaurant and saying you mainly eat vegetarian ( rice and green onions are vegetables right?) Yes, the term moon bat applies but a rather well groomed moon bat and the grooming goes all the way back to her high school and on through college years and assorted helpful internships during both. She is well versed in the language of “oppressed class struggle” and not a neophyte.

If she were allowed to continue to gain power, this unhinged magpie would execute any who disagree in seconds because that’s what commies do. She’s crazier than an outhouse rat. She’s dangerously unpredictable and should she latch on to any number of wacko ideas, it very likely lead to the death of this nation and half of it’s inhabitants within 5 years or less from the time of obtainment of said power. She needs to be stopped at either the voting booth, the FEC violation route, the discreditation route or any other method available (short of violence) to remove this lump of human refuse from the national stage.

Hi Sundance. Yes, I agree that Pelosi was putting her foot down and yes, I do think this investigation is part of the process of her doing that. I do believe Chakrabarti has been involved in shady financial dealings at the very least of offenses.
But, I think he has some powerful handlers behind him and any move he makes will be to a position where he can continue to radically influence politics but to do so with little to no oversight which wasn’t possible as an active member of AOC’s team.
None of this is organic. It is all being orchestrated. Just look at his background – a Ft. Worth raised kid who ended up in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street AND in DC all before he hit middle age. Anytime there is a stratospheric rise or a lot of movement like this there is something else at play.

Lynne Patton: AOC’s District Is Riddled with Rats and Maggots
Rush Limbaugh ^ | July 31, 2019 | Rush Limbaugh
Posted on 7/31/2019, 2:28:06 PM by Kaslin
AOC
Lynne Patton is the regional administrator for HUD, the department of Housing and Urban Development. She is in the Trump administration, and she is African-American, and she is also from the district represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Monday night on Fox there was a fill-in host in there, Sandra Smith,
The question:
“All these attacks on Trump, he’s actually been very good for minority communities, hasn’t he?”
Patton: I am in Ocasio-Cortez’s district more than she is. She’s more concerned about conditions at the border than conditions in her own backyard.
The Red Meat…..
This past week I had to shut down a children’s day camp because dead rats were falling through the ceiling and hitting the ground and falling on children’s desks, so infested with maggots that they broke apart when they hit the ground causing staffers to throw up.
That’s what’s happening in New York.
AOC….The Squad:……don’t hear this on the MSM……

Right up Justice Democrat Socialist leader, Saikat Chakrabarti’s alley and his tool Sandy Cortez.
“Delegates of the Democratic Socialists of America convened in Atlanta for their 2019 National Convention, where they overwhelmingly voted in favor of resolutions that, among other things, call for open borders and endorsing a Green New Deal program.
The Open Borders resolution calls for the “uninhibited transnational free movement of people, the demilitarization of the US-Mexico border, the abolition of ICE and CPB without replacement, decriminalization of immigration, full amnesty for all asylum seekers, and a pathway to citizenship for all non-citizen residents.”
As with the Open Borders resolution, this response ties climate policy to the broader causes of this crisis, rejecting lesser solutions that merely address the symptoms of these issues.
DSA member Ashik Siddique, a co-sponsor of this resolution, states, “Capitalism and the corporate greed it inspires are the cause of our present crisis, but ecologically informed socialism is the answer.”

I was surprised to hear that Chakrabarti is responsible for grooming ALL FOUR MEMBERS of the squad. From a piece in American Thinker: “Recall that Chakrabarti and his Justice Democrats colleagues held auditions for promising candidates to run against moderate Democrat incumbents in deep blue districts, reportedly screening a thousand people and finding Ocasio-Cortez and others. Seven of the candidates backed by the group won seats on the House: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal.” There seems to be a “system” in place that voters are unaware of–we’re just herded sheep.

You’d be sitting hungry, naked and in the dark today without fossil fuels, and that’s the way it’s going to be for the foreseeable future unless someone makes Back to the Future’s “Mister Fusion machine” a technical reality.

Congress is a body of 650-odd people (some of them very odd …) which has over 350 million stakeholders in every thing that they do. This is no place to “wish upon a star” about what keeps the lights on and food on the table. This is also not the place to intentionally disrupt the workings of our two Federal legislative bodies.

I then noted that there was a big commune movement. His guess was that a commune would never work per the dream. He said “maybe a couple roommates.”

I think the left of the Age of Aquarius was too successful in reducing racism. We were all getting along pretty well, and getting better at it. That success was a threat to progressives because United We Stood. 9/11/01 really cemented it. So send in Obama – he who cannot be criticized because he says he’s black – to set race relations back, which he did. Deliberately.
Divided we will fall. That’s the idea of the radical left today. The progressive, radical left, aka democrats, see it all slipping away. Hence, everything is racist again. They thought it was working during the obama crime spree. It wasn’t.
And it still isn’t. We are better than the leftist, progressive intelligensia and their media whores. We’ll be standing together long after these scum fall.

Be careful. The same Uniparty that’s still trying to destroy Trump also wants to destroy anybody who attacks their bought-and-paid-for leader Pelosi. Pelosi and McConnell are twins. Neither can be exposed and challenged, or the Uniparty crumbles. The Uniparty’s paymasters always rise up and use all their means to protect their paid servants, including the FEC as necessary, along with all collected FBI/NSA data. I don’t like this guy, but this is clearly a Uniparty hit, exactly the same as is being done to Trump. If you’re giddy about this, you’ll have to be equally giddy about what they’re doing to Trump, because it’s the same Uniparty operatives doing it, using the bureaucracy and Swamp familiars to attack anybody who doesn’t submit to Uniparty rule.
Remember, the Uniparty conspired to steal the 2016 nomination from Sanders, and were exposed for doing so. Following the election, they attacked Sanders’ wife with criminal investigation for some “crime” or another, to force him to keep his mouth shut about the nomination theft. After he submitted and kept silent, his wife’s prosecutor went dark. Funny that. He took the cash and kept his mouth shut, just like in South American politics: “You can take the silver or you can take the lead.”
I love having AOC running her mouth. So does Trump, as he knows it draws a clear distinction which will lead to his landslide reelection. More AOC, I say. But the Uniparty disagrees with me. They want to destroy AOC and Trump both, and get Biden in there. He’s a paid globalist/corporatist whore, and that’s what the Uniparty wants.
