I don’t know fiscal conservatives who said that. The few of us that there truly are think it was an irresponsible thing to do, and that spending cuts must be priority number one.

So, not one single fiscal conservative in congress? Because that is the argument they made when they passed that titanic abortion of a bill.

Find one comparing GWB to a sex doll, better yet find one comparing Palin to a sex doll.
That image is particularly low.

Politicians should expect humor, they should expect low blows, the previous image shouldn’t be illegal it’s just a really childish image particularly when directed at a Woman.

Besides all the memes about her being a MILF, porn star, etc?

As for AOC (and anyone in the public eye basically) in the modern era of 4Chan and exploitable image template makers out there I'm sure there's plenty worse examples of "particularly childish" images directed at women, men, or whatever gender you hold yourself out to be. Doesn't make it better, but expecting your image won't be used in this way (or worse) is no longer realistic in 2019 just as you can't in 2019 have any assurance that some random person won't doxx you or SWAT you and you wind up dead via police.

Yes because when it's about a Republican that makes it highbrow humor, amirite?

That one just isn't funny because they didn't use the photo where Dubs is actually making the chimp face.

She is very attractive though. The most attractive person in politics that I can think of.

Plus, its got to be a thing that she is the enemy. Kinda like how people like to get cuked by BBC. She is the naughty forbidden fruit.

Very attractive? Dude, do you need to borrow my glasses?
Granted, she's younger and better looking than Nancy Pelosi, but that's not difficult...I'm better looking than Nancy...

I seriously doubt there are any. Congressmen don’t win elections by promising to be prudent and make hard choices. They win by promising they’ll take care of everything, they’ll be no pain, and here’s some pork for your troubles.

For Her age Nancy is definitely in the top tier.

I'm gay and think she's smoking. Somebody get Boomer's glasses prescription checked.

If we had a dozen more like her we'd socialize healthcare before the end of the week as horny republicans forget how to function.

In order, what are the top 5 spending cuts you'd like to see?

It's a great pitch, now I need to see the actual plan.

This is AoC were talking about. Plan is never in her cards - for obvious reasons, she has no political history and has a joke as far as credentials. It's much better to go "RAH RAH! Raise taxes! Build green stuff! Make more jobs magically! Rah Rah!"

AoC and progressives are the only ones that are ever expected to explain things in detail.

"RAH RAH! Cut taxes! Get rid of regulations! Balance the budget! Drill baby Drill! Bomb Iran! Rah Rah!"

Agree in that she seems fairly attractive overall. But she also screams crazy bitch to me - and I'm still just talking about only her looks. Something about those eyes and the teeth of her smile says RUN THE FUCK AWAY NOW.

That’s back with her original face. Very little of that left though..

Yes, it's sad that so many women feel they have to go to such lengths to stave off the appearance of aging and maintain the most attractive possible look. And not just plastic surgery - also anorexia and bulimia.

Then again, the reason they feel that way is quite well illustrated in this very thread where we can't talk about a female politician without half the conversation being about her appearance.

Before we go down that men are evil and only pay attention to attraction path - have you considered that other women might be the overall cause? Men don't really give a shit. I tell my wife all the time I can't tell much of a difference when she wears makeup and when she doesn't and she calls me crazy. I genuinely can't tell much of a difference, nor do I really care.

I guess what I'm saying is that when women spend 2 hours in the morning getting ready (outside of 15 minutes for standard sanitation stuff) it is 100% based on the expectations of other women. Not men.

Women 100% wear makeup for other women. Most men I talk to prefer little to none. Fashion and such isn’t directed at men but rather other women also.

Trump spends over 40 minutes day just on his hair, according to Ivanka.
