How Many Times Can AOC’s Bartending Days Be Referenced in a Single Article? Let’s Find Out.

 

In a twist that would make even the most seasoned mixologist dizzy, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fondly known as AOC by friends and foes alike, has shaken (not stirred) the very foundations of legal understanding. Picture this: a bustling impeachment probe hearing, brimming with tension, where AOC, with the poise of a seasoned bartender, serves up a concoction of legal interpretations so novel, it left audiences questioning their palate for federal law. Her pièce de résistance? The bold assertion that “RICO is not a crime,” a statement as audacious as adding orange juice to a perfectly good martini.

This claim came amidst a fiery exchange with Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s former business associate, who was there to spill the beans—or perhaps the bitters—on alleged financial shenanigans involving President Biden. The setting was ripe for drama: an impeachment hearing crackling with anticipation, where the air was as charged as a double shot of espresso.

 

Bobulinski, armed with allegations as hefty as a keg, was ready to pour out accusations of RICO violations, among other things. But AOC, in a move as swift as slicing a lime wedge, cut him off with the flourish of someone who’s dealt with her share of bar brawls. “RICO is not a crime,” she declared, effectively corking Bobulinski’s attempt to decant his grievances. It was a statement as confounding to legal scholars as a non-alcoholic whiskey to purists.

The internet, that sprawling, unruly tavern where everyone’s a critic, erupted. Memes flowed like cheap beer on college night, and commentators from both sides of the aisle raised their glasses—either in toast or in disbelief. Republicans, especially, were quick to tap the keg, gleefully pointing out AOC’s faux pas as if they’d just discovered a secret stash of vintage champagne.

But let’s not forget AOC’s backstory, which reads like the back label of a complex wine. Once a bartender, now a congresswoman, she’s no stranger to controversy or the spotlight. Her journey from slinging drinks in New York to slinging barbs in Congress is the stuff of legend. Yet, her latest legal interpretation has left some wondering if her past in hospitality has somehow clouded her understanding of the law.

This isn’t the first time AOC has found herself stirring the pot. Remember the Amazon HQ2 saga? AOC played a leading role in that drama, opposing the deal with the fervor of a prohibitionist. Her stance, which contributed to Amazon’s decision to pull out of New York, was like pouring a bucket of ice water on the state’s economic aspirations, chilling the air with the lost promise of jobs and growth.

AOC’s advocacy for the Green New Deal is akin to recommending an organic, sustainably brewed craft beer over a mass-produced lager. It’s bold, it’s ambitious, and according to critics, it’s as expensive as a vintage wine collection. The Green New Deal, her signature cocktail of environmental policy, aims to overhaul the U.S. energy sector and combat climate change, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Estimates swirl around like ice in a shaker, with some critics claiming it could cost up to $100 trillion. If that’s the case, AOC might need to pilfer more than just her tip jar—she’d need the entire bar’s profits, for centuries. This ambitious plan, much like a meticulously crafted drink that’s ahead of its time, has its supporters and detractors, each arguing over its cost, feasibility, and taste for the future of America.

And then there’s her unwavering support for various groups and causes (cough, Hamas), some of which are as controversial as a spiked punch at a temperance meeting. Her endorsements often raise eyebrows, like a sommelier recommending a bold red with fish. It’s this penchant for the unconventional that makes AOC a figure of fascination and, at times, frustration.

As for the impeachment hearing, AOC’s refusal to acknowledge RICO as a crime was more than a mere faux pas; it was a statement, bold and brash as a graffiti-tagged wall in a gentrifying neighborhood. It served to distract, deflect, and, ultimately, dominate the conversation. “I reclaim my time!” she declared, seizing control of the narrative with the authority of a head bartender laying down the law at closing time.

Her interjections were like bitters in a cocktail, adding complexity and depth but overshadowing the intended flavors. Bobulinski, with his allegations of “influence peddling” and calls for “truth and transparency,” was left trying to navigate a narrative that had taken a sharp turn into uncharted territories.

This legal labyrinth, conjured up by AOC’s declaration, became the talk of the town. Social media platforms buzzed with debates, dissecting her words as if they were analyzing the nuances of a rare vintage. The Republican-led House Oversight Committee, sensing an opportunity, jumped into the fray, offering a reminder that, indeed, RICO is codified under federal law, as if they were pointing out the obvious existence of alcohol in vodka.

In the grand scheme of things, AOC’s “RICO is not a crime” moment transcends the immediate laughter and lampooning it spawned. It underscores the performative nature of politics, where the lines between legislative debate and theatrical display blur. AOC, with her flair for the dramatic and her knack for commanding attention, has proven time and again that she’s a master of this art.

Yet, as the dust settles and the laughter fades, one is left to ponder the implications of such statements. In the world of politics, where words carry weight and the stakes are high, the accuracy of legal interpretations cannot be taken lightly. As much as a bartender must know the difference between a stout and a porter.

  1. I personally don’t know what’s more upsetting, That this person is in congress or, That Americans actually put her there !

  2. There are many laws that the left deems as not laws!! Illegally crossing the border would be just one. When leftist know that the mainstream media will not correct them, leftist politicians will say anything and their ignorant followers will agree.

  3. After three terms of being re-elected to Congress, the blame rests solely on the constituents of her Congressional district. There have been many politicians elected to office whose shoe sizes were larger than their IQ (FJB?), but when they are repeatedly re-elected, that blame falls squarely on their constituents. Unfortunately, the decades old Commie agenda of dumbing-down our society and media propaganda have paid off by turning many voters into ‘mind-numbed robots’ who vote for these politicians to their own detriment.

  4. She is dumber than a rock. But she is so dumb she doesn’t realize it and keep running that big donkey mouth. What kind of people actually voted for that twit.

  5. AOC is just one of the many brain dead dumber than rocks members of the Democrat party. Hank Johnson thinks if we send too many military to Guam it will tip over, every time Maxine Waters opens her mouth something stupid comes out, Sheila Jackson Lee thinks she’s a slave and that slavery lasted 400 years in America, Crazy Mazie Hirono is another stupid open mouth insert foot level of stupidity in the Democrat party which makes you wonder the level of stupidity in the constituents that keep voting for these goofballs. Unless of course voter fraud has been going on under our noses for a lot longer that we know. Ya think?

  6. She is not number one but is a very close second . The dumbest is the guy that was fearful an island would tip over if to many people were put on it . And he asked that question on camera in congress and was not kidding .

  7. She has to be the stupidest person in our government, I mean why else is she trying so hard to look and act like the stupidest person in our government ??? She proved her point to me.

  8. Se is by farthedumbestperson on the plaet, at this moment. Voters put her in office. You have t blame them. The other thing is, do they pat attention o anything she says, or does? my guess is no, or they know less about how our gorenment works then she does.

  11. This article can be summed up saying that she definitely should not be in any government job/position. Her voters are dumber than she is. Tending bar was the top of her mental capacity. And all of Congress needs to have to take and pass IQ test, Mental Test ,health test, Be a second generation citizen,have not ties to other countries, not aloud to train stocks,not have any nonprofit organizations or sit on any board for any company. Or have any family members sit on those companies boards or work for them in any way. Just for starters.

  12. Boston University is so proud of their alum that they now think their school is worth over 90K per year.
    AOC graduated from B.U. Obama graduated and even taught at Harvard, even SloJoe graduated from some kind of college; THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FOR YOUR MONEY PEOPLE!
