1. Jindal is a failed fuck.

And to give you some idea of how insignificant he is, auto correct changed his name to HondaLink.

[denem]

4. 'failed fuck' brings back a lot of memories

I want to forget.

[Alacritous Crier]

2. 😂🤣😂

[TheBlackAdder]

13. +1,394,228 😂 Oh, shit! That's perfect!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

51. Not just conservative Republicans.

[gratuitous]

3. PBJ is probably the last person who should comment on someone else's national address

Maybe (maybe) Clint Eastwood is behind Jindal.

[C_U_L8R]

5. That is how it's done.

[Binkie The Clown]

6. What? Bobby Jindal is still a thing?

A thought he had just sort of disappeared into the woodwork years ago.

[mitch96]

8. After a lack luster time as Gov of Louisiana he is trying his hand as an investment person.. nt

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. I thought he was dead.

I mean hoped.

[smirkymonkey]

20. *snort*

You aren't the only one.

[MontanaMama]

76. Me too.

[lonely bird]

70. As so many failed Republican politicians

They’re like cockroaches. They scurry away and hide.

[Rebl2]

72. Same here

I have even forgotten what state he was governor of. Louisiana?

[BannonsLiver]

7. Remember when he was the media created "it guy" for the GOP

Seems like a lifetime ago. Maybe 3.

[George II]

10. He was the guy who did the SOTU rebuttal, and when he showed up on camera Chris Matthews...

....said, "Oh God!"

[Mr.Bill]

14. Yeah, and the setting was the Louisiana Governor's mansion

which they had lit to resemble the house The Addams Family lived in.

[calimary]

24. And now he's Bobby Who? !

Gee, you've done well, son.

[Solomon]

42. Remember when he had that state painting paint him as a white guy?

Lol. I couldn't believe it. Talk about wishes and wants...

[BannonsLiver]

49. Had forgotten about that one

After 4 years of Dump it’s amazing to think there were people in the media who thought a virulently nativist GOP primary electorate would nominate a brown skinned Indian man.

[Solomon]

64. Lol

11. Does AOC respond to EVERYONE who attacks her?

Why give people like Jindal oxygen? I hadn't even heard of him for years. Now he'll probably be all over FoxNews crowing about how and AOC got in a Twitter spat. It's not necessary for AOC to respond to everyone on Twitter.

[Trumpocalypse]

21. I agree

She needs to pick her battles and develop a thicker skin.

[Wanderlust988]

22. Yes, she does appear very sensitive to attacks

Can you imagine if Michelle or Barack spent their days on Twitter getting into spats with all their critics? At some point, you gotta develop a thick skin if you want to stay in politics a long time. If she has plans on being president someday, she can't be up in the White House at 3am responding to Twitter attacks like Trump. It's not cute and it's not cool.

[Cetacea]

26. She must be doing something right....

How many Twitter followers does she have? I believe she is second only to tRump.

[Wanderlust988]

32. And that's supposed to be an honor?

I don't want anymore political leaders more concerned with their Twitter followers than doing their job. We've had enough of Trump's Twitter antics. I don't want anymore leaders like this. Give me Katie Porter any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

People just follow Trump and AOC on Twitter just cause they're very active on it and they constantly get into pissing matches with their critics. It's like a car wreck, so people can't tune out. How many followers one has means absolutely nothing to me.

[Mariana]

36. Please provide some evidence that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez

is more concerned with her Twitter followers than doing her job. TIA.

[Wanderlust988]

46. Nancy Pelosi said it herself

She said last year that some members are more concerned with their Twitter followers than actual legislating. She didn't call out AOC by name but everyone knows who she was talking about.

[theaocp]

69. That's an opinion and not evidence. n/t

[Marcuse]

74. True, but it's expert opinion.

[George II]

33. There are only 700,000 people in the 14th District.

[SMC22307]

37. Puhleeze, she didn't break a sweat with that tweet.

But what she did was clearly point out who is -- and isn't -- on the side of "average Joe and Jane."

[liskddksil]

43. How condescending nt

[Celerity]

55. +1000

[Mariana]

30. AOC doesn't respond to EVERYONE who attacks her. nt.

[SMC22307]

38. Nope.

Let him crow. She nailed him by pointing out that he really doesn't give a shit about ordinary Americans. MORE of that please, not less.

[KG]

48. I lulz'd

[Hassin Bin Sober]

52. Responding to a former republican clown governor is not "everyone"

I’m sure she gets thousands of tweets from butt hurt conservatives from both sides every day.

[marble falls]

66. I think AOC can more than take care of yourself. Anyone who can find profit in getting ...

their ass twitter flamed by AOC let alone getting their dead career jump started by her is a better man than I.

Jindal is done. His twitter exchange only proves it. He's got soooo many forks sticking in him. He's done.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Do these GOPers crave spankings, whether literally or figuratively?

[themaguffin]

15. Wow, I totally forgot about him

[sarge43]

16. "It's Shark Week (redacted)...." n/t

[DonaldsRump]

27. I don't like Jindal, but what exactly do you mean about stocking groceries?

[DonaldsRump]

28. I don't like Jindal, but what exactly do you mean about stocking groceries?

[CaptYossarian]

29. I was illustrating his irrelevance.

I exaggerated his fall from leading a state and being touted as a star in the party.

They were saying how far Chris Christie and Scott Walker would go around that time too. These three clods could very well be Uber drivers today for all I know, but they're pretty much invisible to me.

[DonaldsRump]

31. Look, I'm a yellow dog Democrat

However, Jindal is an honors Ivy League graduate and a Rhodes Scholar. We can tell him to go to hell and be delighted that he has disappeared from the national stage. However, to tell him to stock groceries, when there is absolutely nothing in his background to suggest that is what he has done and when this is common stereotype for Indian Americans, is, well, you know....

I am also a PoC who is a rabid, lifelong Democrat. Please carefully consider what I am saying.

[CaptYossarian]

67. Holy crap!

That grocery remark was intended to show that he was unemployable for being a bad governor. I never once thought of the Caste system in India.

I even considered saying he was a greeter at WalMart, but I don't think they have those anymore. Even making French fries would be better.

I wanted to show how racist the GOP birthers are, not how you interpreted my flippant act of stupidity.

If you read it that way, so did others. It's coming down with my sincere apologies.

Thank you for pointing this out.

[DonaldsRump]

68. No worries, mate

Am probably a bit too sensitive.

I despise Jindal, who is, as you correctly point out, a complete irrelevancy now.

More worrying from the Republican Indian-American community is Nikki Haley: she is nuts. I still think there is a small chance that Trump will dump Pence and pick her as his Hail Mary if his voter suppression and foreign interference efforts don't succeed. More likely, she will run in 2024. There needs to be a concerted effort to knock her down the moment the 2020 election is over.

[CaptYossarian]

71. He'd better hurry.

I think I heard their Klanathon, er, Convention is next week.

He'll want his own "woman of color" the same way McCain thought Hillary would be the nominee in 2008 and went with Caribou Barbie.

[Akacia]

18. When will they ever learn

not to mess with this woman she takes no hostages. She always seems to have the best responses to anyone's nonsense! Just love her sharp wit and intelligence.

[niyad]

19. Useless is still around?? Had, mercifully, forgotten about him

[Tarc]

23. Bobby Jindal couldn't even make the main debate stage in 2016-16

He was stuck at the kiddie table. 100% irrelevant to national politics.

[Hip2bSquare]

25. AOC is the future of this Democratic Party

Plain and simple. The old way isn't working and we are in need of a New Deal. It'd be wise of the dems not to shut her out. She is strong, mature and again the future of this party.

She understands the pure desperation we are currently in as a nation to first and foremost remove trump, after that changes must be made.

[Wanderlust988]

34. Future of what party?

The Democratic electorate is left of center. She is far left. The rest of the country is not like Queens, NY. She s a valued member of the party and she has a voice in the party, but she is NOT the party. I'm proud of our party being a big tent party. And there are more people in our moderate who are pragmatic progressives than the Sanders wing.

[SMC22307]

40. "Far left"? LOL Living wages, healthcare, protecting the USPS, protecting Social Security...

and Medicare, etc. are "far left"?

[liskddksil]

44. They are just mad that the the squad easily

dispatched all their primary challenges and are likely growing their ranks come January.

[SMC22307]

45. Seriously. Talk about sour grapes! (n/t)

[Celerity]

56. Calling her 'far left' is a RW talking point, literally. You're pushing a RW hit job form of framing

In every other advanced nation on the planet she would be a bog standard, middle of the road social democrat. None of her policy stances would be considered 'far left' anywhere else. It is only in Republican smear machine gaslit America that she is called 'far left', and you are trying to amplify that utter tosh.

[Mariana]

35. Too many people still think young women should remember their place.

When a man attacks a young woman, she is supposed to shut up and ignore it. If she doesn't, she is criticized for "being thin-skinned" or "not knowing how to pick her battles" or some such patronizing sexist bullshit.

[Cetacea]

39. Thankfully, they are becomming the minority.

AOC is the future, now.

[SMC22307]

41. Yep, and it's all up and down this thread. (n/t)

[musicblind]

47. Oh snap.

I'm so glad this woman is on our side

[GP6971]

53. Why aren't you a fan?

Welcome to DU !!

[RhodeIslandOne]

57. Enjoy your stay

[Celerity]

65. the sockpuppet got socked, lolol

[Celerity]

58. You joined up just to say that? Your very first two posts are slating an elected Democratic member

of the House.




Welcome to DU.

[marble falls]

60. AOC is the future. Committed, smart, educated, young and not corruptible ...

My only disappointment is I am afraid I may not be around long enough to see a Sen AOC.

She's in her first term. She's done well.

[StarfishSaver]

54. Bobby Jindal. Who he?

[StevieM]

59. Bobby Jindal did more damage to Louisiana than Hurricane Katrina. (eom)

[LiberalFighter]

61. Is he still a thing?

[roamer65]

62. BOOM.

[GoCubsGo]

63. I had completely forgotten that asshole exists.

It's been years since I last heard his name.

[mdbl]

73. Piyush sold himself out when he nicknamed himself "Bobby"

to satisfy the deplorables in the repuglican party.

[NCjack]

75. So, Bobby has risen from the dead. Did he bring back with him the $2 B that

he left Louisiana in debt? Worst ever governor of the state. What is he doing now? I read his webpage, but he is too embarrassed to tell us what film-flam he is operating now.

Why did AOC grant him a few seconds of spotlight? Probably because she had a few seconds, and why not punch this easy target in the nuts. She is allowed some fun time. Can't work all the time.

[stage left]

77. Bobby Jindal?

I thought he was dead.

[SKKY]

78. Why anyone would take a shot at AOC is beyond me. They don't have her skill...

...or street smarts, and yet, they still try.

[czarjak]

79. "Republicans need to stop being The Stupid Party"?...

Good times,huh, Bob?

[Javaman]
