for a 62 year old, doesn't he? It's not like he's some testosterone-driven 20 year old.

But I guess he's trying to deliver a message to the base.

Strong men don't need to talk tough.

It's the weak ones who have to bluster.

in his social media spotlight? Heard constituents are unhappy about her not voting for the infrastructure jobs bill and not buying her excuse. That's just the reason that leaped to mind. Can't think of a good one.

I'm retracting my suggestion that Omar should copy Ocasio's refusal to leap into the spotlit mud with sociopaths like this one.

check context. Interesting meme.

You know, if I was a congressman with hundreds of thousands of followers, I would not be spreading Gozar's pathology to them. If she wants to distract attention, how about something worthwhile and inspiring to focus attention on.

Such as the hundreds of thousands of good, middle class jobs the BIL is expected to create (just to begin with!), most expected to be filled by people who've been "left behind" by change. Pointing out that we're talking more in the range of $45/hour than $14 would be pretty inspiring, spreading that message a life-changer for potentially many.

I mean, if you would rather die doing (insert death here) than from a virus . . .



THEN YOU SHOULD GET VACCINATED.
