In October 2019 Hell, Cold War 2.0 is a rare occasion you agree with Trump so yeah, this fits right within your script!

I don’t see how that’s pro-Cold War, but it is something I said, so alrighty then.

This song received plenty of fresh comments apparently.

One day conservatives in this country will be a respectful people again. Today, is not that day I’m afraid. Tomorrow won’t be it either.

Yup you right.  Much better to publicly support ISIS and denounce 9/11 and the holocaust ala the superstars Omar and Tlaib

Remind me again when Omar and Tlaib supported ISIS, 9/11, or the Holocaust? Omar’s family came to the US fleeing Al Shabab and government violence in Somalia.

Omar advocated for reduced sentence for ISIS recruiters and said "Some people did something" about 911.   Tlaib said that the holocaust gave her a "calming feeling"   I dont really intend to give you links, not gonna google those 2.   But if you want to advocate for garbage go ahead.  Actually I'm sorry, don't mean to diminish garbage.    Hopefully they will be voted out of office in November along with aoc getting her district removed from Congress (look it up)

You realize AOC could just run in, and win, in a different district right?

Oh yea I dont doubt it. but tells you something about how much her own party likes her if the first chance they get they redraw her own district.   Pelosi even said that a glass of water can win AOC's district.    So I'm guessing her own party will not really want her to run again.   She might have to go independent

For your Omar claim about ISIS: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ilhan-omar-isis/ For your Omar claim about 9/11: https://apnews.com/afs:Content:7354840002. So one of those was proven false, and the other pertains to one specific case where a factually dubious/partisan Twitter account spread a mostly false rumor.

 

Following the above pattern; about your claim about Tlaib: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rashida-tlaib-holocaust-warm-feeling/. Obviously the quote was taken out of context because of the way spoke. She clearly meant that she felt a calming feeling about her people losing their ancestral lands to create a safe haven for the European Jewish population. 
 

When I searched “Will AOC lose her district”, every source but one on the first page of the google search was from a well-known far-right publication. It was actually insane to see blogs show up instead of actual news websites. The only good source on the page addressed how she could be beat in 2020, and even then no mention of the district being lost. 

 

Ever heard of a term called “fake news”?

Sanders went independent (before running for the Democratic ticket in 2020), and he did rather well. I really don’t see AOC losing because conservative hatred has made her so popular amongst liberals, progressives, and democratic socialists.
