Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her time to focus on one of the most consequential topics concerning investigations into Donald Trump: his ever-elusive tax returns.
It was one of the more anticipated appearances by a lawmaker on the House Oversight and Reform Committee. Her clear and purposeful line of questioning, which appeared to lay the groundwork for the committee to subpoena the president’s tax returns while capturing the names of those in Trump’s inner circle who may know details of his financials, was widely praised.

.@AOC just got there and she is asking better questions than 90% of members. Short, specific, factual, with no speechmaking. (Maybe it's because she just got there.)

1. Lay out a massive tax fraud scheme taking place in her district.
2. Lay out the case for subpoenaing Trump's state tax returns.
3. Lay out the case to subpoena Allen Weisselberg.
She had five minutes just like everybody else.

Welcome

There are those who use them as an excuse to talk about other DUers. Your timing was also perfect. Usually some valid input and then sure enough the one-sided comments about other posters start out of the blue and for no reason. You haven’t been paying close enough attention, though, if your only takeaway is about other posters here. Hint: it’s more about a group that attacks incumbent Democrats.
pettiness from the same small group who uses every little AOC tweet to discuss other DUers. The silliness works both ways.
problem. The mild comment/observation was the same little group uses anything about AOC to talk about other DUers — like your snide comments. The fucking twitism (your words) works both ways. 
assholishness in itself. Obviously you didn’t mention screen names, lol. This isn’t a hard concept. It works both ways. The same small group uses these threads to talk about DUers just like you did, and there have been numerous daily tweets posted that are not just office space. It’s not a hard concept at all. 
This is now going on several days (almost a week!) you keep kicking this thread. You are the one who should “get over yourself”.
about a couple DUers you are still obsessing about a WEEK later. 
Then I said there is a small group that always uses these threads to talk about other DUers like your snide comments. That’s about it, 
Everything else is your obvious projection. Here you are so CONCERNED about those other DUers who didn't chime in — who cares.
yourself. This is not hard. You made familiar snide comments about other DUers and I said there is a small group who do the same thing. Everything else is your own projection, like now when you are kicking this again after EIGHT days with more snide comments about me, Your pattern is very clear
And your analysis of the other DUers posts is off by miles, too. Obviously you haven’t followed what their input is about Justice Democrats, so maybe you should just move on now. 
Might want to tone the attacks down. 
all the hype aside, she is good. VERY fucking good.
But she managed to and opened up a whole new facet to the investigation.
