"During a climate change town hall event, Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized Elon Musk’s Tesla for receiving government funding, saying that the government got “no return on our investment” in the company.
Speaking at a climate change town hall organized by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont recently, Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer Tesla over the company’s use of taxpayer funds. “When we as a public choose to invest in new technologies, we deserve a return on that investment,” Ocasio-Cortez said when discussing government investments in green energy."

I did say "near complete" - I'd reserve the "full jackass" for Caroline Lucas MP and her chum Molly Scott-Cato MEP.
That constricted nasal helium voice doth grate mightily though.

kim & tomo,
it is significant if AO-C is speaking about the Green Blob's champion, ripping off US Taxpayers, without any financial return, at a Bernie Sanders camp gathering.
I was not paying much attention at the time towards the Sanders/Clinton fight, but if Climate Science corruption of US Democrat politics is festering, it would be a welcome relief to US Taxpayers including the poorest and most vulnerable.
The recent tragic fires in California have been blamed on Global Warming by the party faithful, and Trump has poured cold water on that. (Did any of that cold water come from the Oroville Dam that California party faithful had failed to maintain, then blamed Global Warming for it being empty and then too full?)
If Michelle Obama is to be challenged by other Democrats before challenging Trump, the stupidity of Climate Science policies is one that Trump would be very happy to debate, based on what he has done for the US as President.
If some US Democrats (Sanders & AO-C) have realised that Climate Science is a Vote Loser, it would mean that Sanders can leave a lasting legacy to the poorest and most vulnerable.

I see Ms Occasio-Cortez is starting to bump and barge about even more in Washington .... somebody's going to swipe back eventually....

tomo, has a "Government" ever sued a newspaper?
Any swipe-back against AO-C is most likely to come from within the Democrat Party. Republicans will be keeping a record for decades to come.

Old tweets that have not aged particularly well

“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution, .which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!
If I may paraphrase: I didn't do it but even if I did I wasn't naughty and in any case Hillary's emails, so nyah.

James Comey is quite the memory man ain't he?
Seems like he didn't know a lot about much - one has to wonder what he was doing as head of the FBI - naive and incurious simply does not wash. The recent questions and answers at Congress are a hoot filled parade of evasion.

One has to suspect that The White House might be watching some legal stuff in California closely ...
Top civil rights leaders are suing California for climate policies they say disproportionately harm its poorest residents, particularly Latinos and African Americans.
“California politicians are using anti-racist and environmentalist words to hide the regressive impact of their climate policies on the poor and people of color,” said John Gamboa, the co-founder of The Two Hundred, a coalition of prominent civil rights leaders, which filed a lawsuit against the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in Superior Court.

Bit of squabble / banter in the Oval Office....
Trump to Schumer on a government shutdown: “I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not gonna blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work.”

Pelosi's take on the encounter
"It goes to show you: you get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.”
Lol.
Phil Clarke
Some robust discussion then - although Nancy & Chuck got played it would seem.... It makes a refreshing change to see disputes played out in public rather than telling tales / spin later
She's right though - Schumer is a skunk

Has Michael Avenati been down in SoCal recruiting clients? - looks an awfully similar ploy to Stormy D.
I suppose DJT could offer them jobs constructing the wall….
That’d nettle Nancy nicely.
Elsewhere it looks like McCabe and quite possibly Mueller might have some legal liability if the Mike Flynn case carries on the way it's been going.
Strzok interviewed Flynn without the benefit of counsel and didn't even tell him it was an interview.

Gun deaths at 40,000 in Dishonest Don's first year in office, a 20-year high, driven by a rise in gun suicides.
Of course, correlation is not causation ;-)

It seems that Dishonest Don, because he has a son of the same name, sometimes regifts monogrammed gift items given to Dishonest Don to Dishonest Don Junior.
In fact, Dishonest Don Junior once received a gift from Dishonest Don that Dishonest Don Junior had given to Dishonest Don just the year before.
Family huh? Admirably frugal, though. Maybe Dishonest Don's net worth is not quite what he claims ;-)
Season's greetings, everyone.
LOL.

One can only wonder what reaction to the account given in the WSJ - quoting Comey + McCabe's own words about stitching up Mike Flynn would be if the target of attention was another senior official in say the Obamah administration or maybe even HRC herself?
At least Flynn didn't plead the 5th and walk like say 9 members of Obamah's crew ? - who have not been pursued.

tomo, her Wikipedia entry makes it clear she is "tough and determined". (Will it be edited and cleaned up?) She has unfinished business with some Democrat aristocracy, and a personal grudge against Trump.
The BBC have provided free political advertising for her throughout the day. How is that News? Her trip to the UK will have cost a bit. Is she carrying on to France/Germany/COP 24 ? Presumably all of this has been to satisfy the Big/Smart Money in the US she is worth backing. If so, she may have an easy run to the Democrat Nomination, with minimal mudflinging, which is probably what the majority of Democrats want and need at the moment.
Trump can't and won't beat her in a hug-a-hoodie competition. He does not need their support. Obama has to re-win the Rust Belt, that her husband through away. Perhaps she is waiting for COP 24 to conclude in chaos before deciding on her allegiance to Climate Science?
