In October 2019 :p 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.

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.

    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.  
    • Very quick end &  get 2 back to 6=3, but  have the hammer in ninth....
