Opinion: AOC’s Stunt 101

Congress Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have stirred a lot of controversy for wearing a white dress with the text “tax the rich”. That was done at the Met Gala of 2021, which is where all the celebrities and the rich is gathering. They are wearing fashionable clothes and showing themselves off, as they paying 35,000 US dollars just to partake in it.

The Met Gala was on 13^th September 2021 and since then in political circles the dress has been discussed. That is all natural… however… she is not winning by doing this. Unless, she wanted headlines and get traction online. AOC is being discussed, but not in the manner of which she wanted.

It is just hypocrisy. This is the definition of weak-tea. The rich, the wealthy and the 1% wouldn’t be afraid with this. They are not scared or feels the out-of-touch demonstration. The only thing AOC is succeeding is to waste her time and her role as a legislator.

If she believes in the cause and wants to make a difference. AOC should assemble the squad. Pressure the ruling Democratic Party in Congress and get legislation passed, in which the rich will be more taxed. Make it in manner where the IRS will actually repeal the loopholes and the possibility to pay practically “nothing” while earning billions of dollars. That is what she should do and she have the opportunity to as well.

It is not like AOC is a lone activists and doesn’t have power. She is in the Squad and that’s supposed to be progressive. The Squad and it’s members are supposed to make difference. However, it has been a lot of hot-air and very little actions. That’s why this is a publicity stunt and nothing else.

AOC should put forward bills, motions and such where the taxes are aimed at the upper-class, the billionaires and the 1%. However, if she does that… she will have to battle the corporate-Democrats in combination with business-friendly Republicans. So, she will have no friends doing this and it will be a minority. Nevertheless, it would be a better look to come with an ironclad bill and tax regulations to change this…

The dress is just a stunt. It is as briefly cool as G Unit music-video “Stunt 101” and when 50 Cent drives the car straight out of the window of the car dealership. Just as you remember that and catches the speed. The same is what this dress does…

However, AOC have such more power and ability to do something about it. Instead she is writing motions sending congratulations to Bangladesh’s 50^th Liberation Day. That doesn’t cost the state anything and neither is it controversial. But to fight for a just reform of taxes will be and that will target the individuals/corporations who funds the political parties. This is why it’s a bit hectic to do so and they are earning fortunes on the misfortune of others. That’s why this isn’t changing and it’s easier to come with these acts of self-importance compared to actual acts of work in Congress.

She should call the Squad and pressure Nancy Pelosi to an inquiry and make a taxation reform. We know that will not happen and it’s so simple to just show-up in dress at a Met Gala, instead of pushing legislation through the chambers of Congress. Peace.

Opinion: [Trump’s] Republican Party only cares about power and not the rule of law…

If you don’t know. Now you know. That the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump only cares about POWER. These folks doesn’t care about the Constitution or rule of law. If they did. Then there would be outrage and be addressed totally different at the Capitol Hill. They wouldn’t just certify the election and go into recess. No, they would address the ones who accepted and abided the incursion at the Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.

No, we are seeing a party who is blindly loyal to one man. They are his minions and his soldiers. Values doesn’t matter as long as this man has a office and is the head of state. They are willing to let the Congress burn and riot. They are willing to send domestic terrorist into the House of Congress and the Senate. That is what the Republican Party is willing to do.

The ones dismissing President Trump now is late to the party. There was several who supported the endeavour and even asked for campaign funding during the incursion of the Congress. The Republican party doesn’t value rule of law or constitution. When the Head of State is inciting people to brutally takeover the Congress. In a manner, which other demonstrators would have been easily prey to a violent police force. Yes, there been 5 deceased because of it. However, if this was Black Lives Matter demonstration. There would be 100s arrested on the spot and dozens killed by bullets outside the Congress. Nevertheless, the domestic terrorists was also getting the ability to pass and taking selfies with Capitol Police Officers as well.

We know the Republican Party only cares about POWER. That is why they have hurried to fill all sort of seats for judges across the Republic. They have been life-time appointments in the Supreme Court just days ahead of the polls. While the same party was blocking Merrick Garland to the same months ahead of the polls in the last election. The Republican party can get someone seated in the Supreme Court, but they cannot get bill of relief to the general public. This is because the Republican’s only cares about power and not the people.

This is why they are not going after the Representatives, the Senators or the President after wrecking havoc at the Capitol Hill. They are not even filing impeachment of the President, neither are they issuing the 25^th Amendment. Secondly, they are not expelling or censuring the Members of Congress who dared to support and earn political capital of the actions made this week.

If they did value rule of law and the constitution. They would go after the culprits. They would investigate the ones involved and profiting of the damages done. However, they rather investigate Benghazi dozens of times, than looking into the ones who benefited from the actions made this week. They don’t have the courage or the character to look into the ugly side of America. These folks doesn’t have the balls and they aren’t as law abiding as they claim to be.

If you didn’t know. Now you know. That is the tragedy here. However, some of us has seen this a while. Where the ability of power matters more to them, than policies or being law abiding. They rather have power and misuse it. Instead of being there representing the general public. No, they are just pawns used in a battle of supremacy. That is the reality of it all. Losing the Presidency and losing the Congress. Is the reason for the acceptance of this incursion of the Capitol Hill.

Donald J. “Papa Don” Trump wants to be knighted king for life and doesn’t want to lose power. His not accepting the loss and will use all means to target the ones taking over. Papa Don will not be favourable and he will create as much destruction as possible before his out. The Republican Party is doing this… because they are in favour of Trump over the Republic. That is the reality… its tragic and sad, but that is Republic of the United States of America at this very moment. Peace.
