2. Remember what trump said when Nancy passed the bill 4+ months ago. He claimed he wanted to go big

On this next stimulus, really big he said, all while he had McConnell stall it in the Senate for him. trump wanted a last minute deal so he could use it as a political tool claiming anything gotten was because of him. What he did was lowered the amount for it
he wanted, not raise it. He still is demanding it be lower, unless it can be given to the wealthy. Again trump lied , and claimed the opposite of the truth. trump wanted to use it as a bribe , nothing else, and its backfired and he's having a mental breakdown now. He knows how bad this is for him , so today he'll claim he never said it yesterday. It was fake news, but all its done is drive more people away from him, and make them question his mental issues, and his declining health. trump lies, and is mentally unfit and incapable of performing duties of his office. The republicans in the House and the Senate needs consequences for allowing this to continue now, while he's a national security threat to us all. Especially McConnell, Graham, Cornyn, and others.

3. He already lies with impunity, acts like he has no memory or knowledge of what he's said before

Sometimes in the same discussion! And, these days, since he's heavily drugged, it's only getting worse. You're right, he only cares about his cronies, whatever's good for them is good for him, no thought at all for the population that he's supposedly there to "serve." And the Republicans choose to get right in line behind him - so they're complicit, too - every one of them!

4. AOC has remarkable and rare abilities to frame issues and tie off loose ends to make them airtight

There just is no comeback to the logic and power of her reasoning. Many a GOP has been smoked by her retorts to their efforts. It will make her incredibly durable in politics. Hopefully other Democrats will learn her skills.

5. True. AOC is quite compelling.

Rachel said she lives 'rent free' in the minds of many right-wingers.

6. I really like her

She is smart, tough and wise beyond her years, and the right-wingers hate her for it. What could be more endearing?
