fallingFrom 10kfeet Actually, she worked her way through college as a bartender. Before campaigning to become a Representative. AOC is a political powerhouse and campaigned with Bernie during his primary run. She is the driving force behind the 'Green New Deal', before President Biden picked up the cause. Much of his agenda is upon her wings.
Never heard anything about the casting call at TYT in 2017. Perhaps she was a guest on their webcast, but they're no one's star maker and she's not acting for anyone.
AOC is young, genuinely idealistic, and very opinionated (to her own detriment).
She is so far ahead of society, that she's a little scary for some. At times, I wish she would put a lid on it. But, most of what she says about protecting the environment is absolutely true.
AOC is a rising political star, who will only become more powerful with experience over time.
Oh yeah, she collected $2 million worth of donations to help Texans get through their freeze out and power outages. You remember, when ted Cruz left his own people to suffer while he flew to Can-Cun?

fallingFrom 10kfeet Yeah, I followed your search and watched all 21 minutes of the 2019 content, with only 638 views. smh
1: Cenk Uygur of TYT, decided to create his own brainchild caucus to recruit dynamic, small donor progressives away from the 'Hillary' loser Democratic party to start the 'Justice Democrat' Party (which no one but you has ever heard of since). So, he hired an ad company to promote the chosen 'recruits'. AOC was their shining star.
2: @ 12:20, the female member stated that AOC wrote her own narration for her very successful 2016 campaign ad that was so popular that she won the HoR seat.
3: @16:30, during AOC's diner meeting with the ad company, she informs them that she had been live streaming her life's story since 2016, prior to ever meeting any of TYT's people.
Later on, the female repeats all of AOC's goals, as if it was their Justice Democrats' own agenda.(rip-offs)
4: @ 18:58, Cenk introduces the first guy as being AOC's Chief of Staff. IOW, he works for AOC, not visa versa.
Conclusion:
TYTs and their ad people had nothing to do with AOC's fame and political success, because she had already won her HoR seat in 2016 all by herself. They were only hanging onto her coat tails, like groupies.
Cenk's illusion of grandeur, aka Justice Democrats was nothing more than his overly inflated pipe dream that went nowhere.
Now, TYT is nothing more than another YT political pundit show, which are a dime a dozen.
Meanwhile, AOC out grew them and moved on, leaving them eating her dust.
After her 1st term, AOC succeeded in being re-elected and has become one of the most influential Democrats in Congress.
I'm afraid that you were only taken in by the TYT's own arrogant account of their little tale wagging AOC's fierce Chihuahua.
Why are you going to such lengths, trying to diminish AOC's skyrocketing into prominence within the Democratic party? She is clearly a self made woman. The least you could do is give credit where credit is due.
Finally, a 'casting call' is when a production company summons selected actors into their studio to audition for a part in a movie. Hence, the proverbial 'casting couch' cliche'.
It is a completely inaccurate use of the term in this scenario.

That tells me all I need to know in order to tell where you are coming from. You get your info from right wingnut jobs, who are spreading lies, conspiracy BS, and hysteria just to use fools like you in order to make money. No, I'm not supporting tRumptard traitors, such as they.

@drayker99 BFS, tRumptard! The 2nd amandment was never intended as justification to overthrow our own government of elected officials. The Founding Fathers designed our government to be of the people, by the people and for the people. So, if the majority want to replace the leaders, then they can do it through the democratic election process, just as we did last November by getting rid of tRump.
The 2nd amendment was written before the US had a cohesive military and pioneers had to defend themselves from the British monarchy and/or other foreign nations, such as the French and Spanish.
Now, the USA has the strongest, most invincible military in the world to defend our citizens and private militias are actually illegal. Your little pea shooters are useless against our government's military.
Why do you think tRump waited to call off his mob, until the National Guard was being deployed? Simply because he didn't want his fans to get hurt.
So, STFU you anarchist Traitor, because you don't know what you're talking about. Radical right wing extremists just like you are the greatest threat to our national security and your entire arsenal should be confiscated, based upon your stupid comment, promoting yet another coup attempt upon our nation's government.
The majority of voters have already spoken and Biden is our chosen POTUS. So, stop your whining, lil Bitch.

@drayker99 Really? Not half as much as I do. It's only a matter of choosing to tell the truth over lies. The USA needs hundreds more patriotic keyboard warriors to battle the right wing Qanon conspiracies, Russian trolls, and anti-Dem propaganda.
This is the front line of the information war against our democratic republic. Russia and China don't need nukes, while they can eat our nation's heart out, from within, just like a cancer.
Since tRump, Congressional Republicans stand in front of national TV and lie their asses off, just to appease their master.
They are enablers and conspirators in the Capitol insurrection, which is the reason they voted down the bipartisan investigation.
Mat Gaetz and MTG are even campaigning together to fund raise.
This is NOT what America professes to be, a nation of laws in defense of truth and justice.
Try it sometime. It feels good to be doing what's right for the nation, regardless of political affiliation. I'm sure that there are many fine Republicans left and I respect the concept of debating POVs, who eventually compromise to serve the mainstream. But, I condemn individuals using excessive force to bully their ways.
I also condemn Moscow Mitch conducting 100% political obstructionism to enable the minority of Senators to block progress while China is walking all over US with state sponsored innovation and manufacturing.

@dezznutz3743 There are both government PEL grants and private lenders, who can destroy a student's credit ratings, cause huge interest hikes for defaulting on a single payment, plungnig their victims into decades of debt.
The USA should provide free higher education, just like most other developed countries.
On top of that, the costs of higher education has skyrocketed in recent year, making bad matters intolerable.
Of course, rich kids' parents cover all costs, without loans nor interest, plus nice new cars and free housing. Their kids enjoy the benefits of ivy league universities, with nothing more than their studies and parties to worry about.

These GQP Congessmen are literally F'ing insane. Their divisive rhetoric and blatant lies are irresponsible and beneath the dignity of the office they hold. Instead of solving any problems, they only know how to nit pick and criticize by resorting to outrageous exaggerations.
Trump left the US in this mess, but these dishonest POS politicians blame every problem on the Biden administration, who has only been in office for 6 months. During that time, every single bill as met 100% Republicant opposition in the Senate. So, how is Biden the cause of our woes?
They only know how to point fingers at Dems, demonizing over half of US voters. But, the historic records say otherwise. Reagan's trickle down economy only transfers taxpayer revenues to the filthy rich, who don't even need it. That's why our infrastructure is crumbling, the national debt has grown beyond imagination, and poor folks can't afford higher education to become more employable.
Clinton handed GWBush a balanced budget, which he only poured into a 20 year $5 Trillion ME war, without even taking out Bin Laden.
Obama had to abandon his 2008 campaign to rescue Wall Street, homeowners, the auto industry, and healthcare. Trump followed with removing Wall Street oversight and gave them $2 Trillion of taxpayer revenues. Now, our economy is on its knees and Biden has to come to the rescue yet again.
Yes, Biden's stimulus package costs $1.9 Trillion, but it's paid for by enforcing the existing IRS laws.
Republicants only know how to talk trash, but have absolutely no ideas regarding how to govern responsibly. That's why they go to kiss tRump's ring and kowtow to his whims. smh

@enidankavon Joe hasn't changed any immigration laws. He's only enforcing them in a more humane way than leaving refugees stranded in primitive camps along the Mexican side of the border, without money, food, drinking water, nor electricity and sewers.
Yes, over recent years, they have increasingly been fleeing for their lives in fear of being murdered by drug cartels. But, illegal crossings and human trafficking are still illegal and when apprehended, they're sent back home, as the laws require.
But, Biden has rebuilt the immigration department that Stephen Miller & tRump decimated and has provided decent temporary accommodations for legal asylum applicants and counselors to process their paperwork.
tRump's wall was a stupid failure, which doesn't stop illegal entry and he only turned his back on helpless refugee children.
Biden/Harris are humanely handling the situation and addressing the root cause in their homelands.
The difference is the decency of leadership.

Wikipedia:
"Personal life
Since becoming a public figure, Boebert has told reporters that her parents divorced when she still lived in Altamonte Springs. But no father is listed on her birth certificate, nor are there records of such a divorce in Seminole County. Boebert's mother filed multiple paternity suits between 1987 and 1990 alleging that pro wrestler Stan Lane is Boebert's father. A paternity test Lane took in 1990 ruled him out as the father, and the suit was dismissed. In 2012 Boebert's mother sent the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation a letter asking for further investigation, but there is no record that the bureau took any action. A Twitter account attributed to Boebert's mother and comments attributed to Boebert and her mother on YouTube videos and blog posts between 2008 and 2013 continued to allege that Lane is Boebert's father and argue with an account attributed to Lane's wife, Maria.[123]
Boebert and her husband Jayson live in Silt, Colorado.[124] Before they opened a restaurant, Jayson Boebert worked in oil and gas fields.[7] They have four sons.[16] She became a born-again Christian in 2009.[17]
In 2010, Boebert's neighbors called police because they believed her pit bulls were threatening their dogs. Boebert received a ticket for dog code violations.[125]
In 2015, Boebert was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct at a music festival for telling officers that their arrest of a couple of underage drinkers was unconstitutional because the teenagers had not received Miranda warnings. As she was being handcuffed, according to deputies' reports, Boebert tried to twist away from police, saying that "she had friends at Fox News" and that the arrest would be "national news." She twice failed to appear in court on the charge. The petty offense was dismissed because the Mesa County district attorney's office believed a jury would not convict her.[126]
In 2016, Boebert was cited for careless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. On February 13, 2017, she was arrested and booked in Garfield County Jail for failure to appear in court on these charges. She pleaded guilty to the unsafe vehicle charge." smh

@johnlarson5255 Thank you for the respectful advice, but no thanks. Been there, done that. But, since you're not spewing hyperbolic hateful adolescent insults at me (like most tRumptards), perhaps we can have a civil political discussion, if you can handle hearing my honest POV.
First of all, please allow me to properly introduce myself, instead of presuming to know, classify, and label me based upon your own perceptions.
I grew up on an Ohio farm until I graduated from HS in 1970. I was a Sunday choir singer at the Nazarene church, until I was group pressured to beg the Lord for forgiveness, just because I went to a school dance. I moved to sunny LA as soon as I graduated to check out those bikinis the Beach Boys sung about. That's when I started experimenting with drugs and questioning the status quo. I had friends from different races, including blacks, Mexicans, and Asians. After Nam and the Kent State massacre, I wasn't interested in the government nor politics.
After 7 years of becoming a machinist/tool & die maker in the aircraft industry, I happened upon a change of career that took me to England for 10 years, where I met all sorts of people from all walks of life. That's when I realized that the world knows as much (if not more) about the US as we do, but from a nonAmerican perspective.
I learned that our invincible military is frowned upon for invading nations for oil or nation building to impose our lifestyle upon others. Such arrogant bullies are we.
I also studied alternative religions and philosophies, such as Buddhism. (Recently, I've become an atheist).
Upon returning to the states ~1990, I became a computer technician at a local college for 18 years, until I retired in 2015.
Now, I'm a maker of IoT devices for automated climate control of an aquaponic greenhouse.
Like I aid, been there, done that. Have experienced more than enough of mankind and US society than I are to. Now, I observe it from the end of a wireless connection. smh
This is my only method of communication to others, so yes, I'm a hermit by choice.
I hope that blows away your condescending prejudices regarding who I am or whether you have any right to advise me about jack shit.
I've read your comments and they all sound like Fox Spews divisive political propaganda. IMO, you are the one who needs to get out of your silo more often. How many Dems, blacks, Hispanics, Europeans, or Asians do you associate on a personal level? Why do you presume to know the minds of people you know nothing about? Then, you try to slice and dice them into your pigeon hole. You're a very arrogant person, aren't you?
Yet, you're so naive that you still don't see through tRump's BS. The man is nothing more than a 2 bit con man, who was borne with a gold spoon up his ass. Wit an allowance of $20,000 per month, he could bully any kid in school. He is well known for cheating throughout his life, whether it was on exams, wives, bribing politicians, stiffing subcontractors, bankrupting Casinos, tax fraud, golf, Russian collusion, or his own supporters.
The don behaves like a mafioso mob boss, with a team of lawyers to intimidate anyone who gets in his way. His only loyalty and trust is his own offspring, upon whom he is totally dependent. tRump is not even a good team player. He has to personally micromanage everyone and everything. He's never been held responsible for anything in his life, except for taking credit for the accomplishments of theirs. Can't stand listening to his grandiose postering and ridiculous exaggerations of himself and ruthless attacks against his foes.
tRump knows absolutely nothing about the Constitution, Congressional procedures, International politics, nor nonpartisan public service; IOW, all the important essentials of being POTUS.
tRump's initial maneuver was to choose the most easily corruptible political party, that could be bought. Then, he ruthlessly assaulted he other 'team' with 5 years of extremely divisive rhetoric, like. "those radical left wing socialists, who only want to take away your freedom and destroy our wonderful country" blah, blah, blah like a recording on a loop, brainwashing his weak minded, sheltered evangelicals who believed that he cared enough to help them, instead of fleecing them for donations and votes.
Yes, Don the con can put on quite an amusing show.He reads his audience well and keeps spewing their red meat, seasoned however they want it. I digress.
The problem with lying at public political rallies is that the MSM is recording promises, fact checking rhetoric, and reporting their opinions. So, we all saw how tRump handled the 'crooked MSM, not telling people the truth". BTW, that's typically a dictator's initial means of taking control of a country.
Once no one trusts the press, who can tell the difference between truth and lies? Isn't that precisely the state of our nation following tRump's administration?
Once elected, tRump surrounded himself with his hiers (to his envisioned throne!) and mob henchmen, like Giuliani, Barr, Patreas, Miller, Bannon, etc, etc.
Then, tRump needed to control his Congressional nemesis of political oversight. So,he invited every Republican Congressman into the Oval office for his 'embrace' to seal their pledge of unwavering loyalty... or else. IOW, the Godfather gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. Frpm that point forward, tRump owned the Republican party and demanded their obedience, just like the NY mafia's protection racket.
You know most of the rest. But, my issue is with the man and his enablers, not with people who have different POVs to myself. I hate how tRump has divided our nation to the point of civil war threats and the racial violence of his energized white nationalist supremacists. (queue BLM whataboutism, smh) There's no denying that tRump incited the Capitol insurrection attempt to obstruct the transfer of Presidential power with lethal force.
How can you be so naive and blinded by his bullshit to not see these truths to be so self evident?
I'm not the problem. Dems are only defending Constitutional law by holding tRump accountable. Their enemy is my enemy and for all the right reasons, human decency, law, and order.
They represent and defend everything that makes America great, like helping the downtrodden, instead of dishing out $2 Trillion tax breaks to billionaires, in exchange for political donations. "Pay my campaign costs and I'll repay you with taxpayer revenues." <wink&nod>
It's 5:00 am and time to crash. Later.

The grim reaper has spoken; but not a word about the UN climate report, how to save mankind from itself, nor about tRump's $2 Trillion unfunded tax break for the filthy rich. No, Moscow Mitch only puts together an endless string of doom and gloom, hyperbolic, right wing, phrases to demonize Dems, who are only trying to help the unemployed, families, small businesses, children, the nation's economy and the world.
How did we get in such a dire situation to need such a large investment? Because of Republicant climate deniers, Reaganomics, Bush's wasteful ME wars, petroleum lobbyists, and science denying evangelicals.
No matter how nonpartisan I try to be, the GOP are always on the wrong side of every policy, while Dems are trying their best to be responsible, fair, and just for everyone's benefit.
Yeah, I said it. Disagree? Then, show me one Republicant bill that helps people out of poverty, increases the minimum wage, makes education and healthcare more affordable, purifies drinking water, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, or saves lives against COVID. ZZZzzz...

The Republicants are always explaining the motivations of Democrats, who they are incapable of understanding. What's the point of Harris going to the border, while the roots of the immigration are located in the northern triangle countries, where she is working?
Why didn't the Republicant Congressmen take their shit-show to the primitive refugee camps along the Mexican side of our border, where tRump left them stranded without money, food, drinking water, sewers, nor electricity? Those poor folks are easy prey for cartels and human traffickers, but I don't hear the tRumptards shedding any tears for them. Yet, there's such an outrage for those who are being safely temporarily detained in BP shelters.
The GQP has no solutions, only ridiculous complaints about irrelevant BS.

@TheirOwnWords If racial massacres are always hushed up and swept under the rug, how would anyone know how many times it has happened since? Don't try to tell me that other racially motivated mass murders haven't happened over the past 100 years. Only last year, some white gunman shot up a black church full of worshipers.
I'm 68 years old and never hear about the Tulsa massacre, until this centennial anniversary rightly brought it to the attention of the press and it went viral.
Yes, I am appalled by the brutality and ashamed of my own race's barbaric history. You should be as well, if your a white person with an ounce of moral decency. It shouldn't have anything to do with political affiliation.
But, apparently only Dems possess that ounce of moral decency, respect, and empathy for fellow human beings, regardless of race.
You're right that some whites have had nothing to do with racial injustice and can't turn back the hands of time to take it away.
But, surely we can acknowledge our own history and find ways to make amends for those who are still suffering at the hands of our forefathers.
FFS, Man. Can't you put yourself in anyone else's shoes for a few seconds of mindful thoughts?

@fnusecurity5112 Neither political party is what it used to be 100 years ago. So, there's no point in politicizing historical racism with today's parties.
Here's what is happening now. Democrats are trying to help blacks, refugee children, unemployed and underpaid folks, plus protect voters' rights. Today's Dems support empathy and justice.
Republicans only know how to obstruct progress, ferment violent racism, take away women's rights, leave refugees stranded in border camps, eliminate social safety nets for struggling American families, and cheat the electoral progress. Today's Republicans only care about hoarding personal wealth and power. Screw everyone else.
Republicans are no longer the majority and have overplayed their hand so much that they can't win fairly, so they lie, cheat, and steal, just to force their primitive beliefs upon other fellow Americans.
Instead of supporting democracy, they only want to overthrow it with ruthless authoritarianism and force, including threats of a civil war.
REPUBLICANS ARE TRAITORS!

@chupameelhuevo2662 My kind? I am not part of any kind. FYI, hermits are solitary individuals, who don't run with any packs nor herds of humanity. I'm a political demographic of one vote. So, don't pretend that you know nor understand anything about me whatsoever.
But, I understand your kind very well. Your kind think that politics is a celebrity contest and vote for the candidate who delivers the funniest one liners and insults.
Your kind are naive evangelicals, who still believe in fairy tales and that some angel will save them from their own stupidity. Your kind fall for some crazy concept that a narcissistic, self-serving con man, who has cheated all of his life for his own personal gain will help poor folks that he calls losers. Your kind don't care about a candidate cheating on school exams, on playing golf, on income taxes, on his pregnant wives with whores, cheats on elections with Russian collusion. cheats tRump University students out of tuition, cheats on his own charity foundation, cheats subcontractors out of business, and cheats on bank loans.
Your kind don't care about the will of the majority of voters and your kind of insurrectionist traitors stormed our nation's Capitol to deny our Constitutional transfer of power and your kind attempted a coup on behalf of a corrupt wannabe dictator.
Your kind only know how to spew BS rhetoric, instead of trusting in facts and data, revealed by multiple nonpartisan recounts and audits. Your kind refuse to trust your own electoral college and tRump's own judicial appointees.
Your kind are radical redneck white supremacist, gun toting anarchists, who truly want to destroy our government.
Your kind of tRumptard traitors make me want to puke.
