Who's shocked? 

 

For what it's worth:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez found herself at the center of another right-wing Twitter conspiracy Friday morning, after a Republican strategist falsely claimed that she had employed her longtime partner Riley Roberts as a paid congressional staffer. The New York congresswoman and her team corrected the record, saying this is not true.

Luke Thompson, vice president of the Republican analytics firm Applecart, first made the claims. Taking a screenshot from an unknown source, he tweeted: "While you were having a nice Valentine's Day, @AOC decided to put her boyfriend on staff - drawing a salary on the taxpayer's dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly." (The tweet has since been deleted because the screenshot, which included Roberts' email and phone number, was found in violation of Twitter's terms of service.)

Ocasio-Cortez was quick to debunk the claim, clarifying that Roberts obtained an official House email address in order to get access to her calendar. "Actually this cal designation is a permission so he can have access to my Google Cal. Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time. Next time check your facts before you tweet nonsense," she tweeted.

He's not her spouse, but her boyfriend now has an account and is labeled as a staffer in public documents.

 

It's a stupid story and a stupid Twitter ban and I wish people wouldn't waste time with this stupidity.

Thats almost a WORSE spin than her "that was never part of the document" gambit she trotted out last week. 

 

Its also a huge loophole for espionage. 

 

Shes terrible at this.

Hold on a sec.  The House uses GCalendar for scheduling?  Is that for real?

I don't at all mind.  It's absurd to find one with so few miles!

 

I paid $33,490.  The previous owner still had the window sticker and paperwork from when he bought it in 2009:  He paid $61,270!  So he paid $27,780 to drive 8000 miles!  LOL  I picked it up off a Nissan lot.  The guy traded it in on a Nissan GTR!

 

That's a good buy and sorry your other one got wrecked.  I have to admit, and I've taken a lot of heat for this, I ordered the Bullitt in Black.  It's beautiful in that color and they way I optioned it there will likely be fewer than 10 built in the same configuration.  One of my sons is an engineer at Ford in Dearborn.  Didn't buy it to be a collector car but some day that rarity will matter and I plan to keep it well into the self-driving electro-pod people mover era. 

 

Maybe we need a car thread down here. The auto industry is in a real transition now and the combination of market forces, technology and government regulation will make the next decade of cars fun to watch. Maybe I'll start a thread related to this over the weekend.

She’s a farging icehole. 

She thinks the NY State will spend the $3B that was earmarked as tax breaks for Amazon on infrastructure and low rent housing. They’re in no way equivalent.

 

Amazon would have poured over $30 Billion to the city and state over time. The infrastructure she wants is a net expenditure with zero payback for the government forevermore.
