AOC discovers a new word
"I want to abolish our carceral system that's designed to trap Black and Brown men

She's done it again! As they say in the hood: She's schoolin us!

At an event for an Ohio congressional candidate, Nina Turner (the most extreme candidate in the race), AOC spoke of another change she wants for our backward nation. She told those Ohio yahoo's what's needed and what she wants for us. She wants justice, she wants peace, and she wants prosperity. That’s what she wants!  What is wrong with the rest of us for not wanting the same?

Then she laid it on us: "I want to abolish our carceral system that's designed to trap Black and Brown men."

For those who may not know carceral is a word. It is one of those words that we seldom hear because like putting a whole pickle into a sandwich, carceral requires the right sentence for usage. So this past Saturday AOC found a way into the headlines again. She did it with a word. This is what a BU education produces!  We should warn parents when they bring their kids and their shortlisdts to Boston to evaluate which university is best. It is something special to have a choice. I imagine BU accepts many. The lesson here is: Give the alternative a try.

She truly is our moral compas. Some may recall the story she told us of the woman who was incarcerated at Rikers Island. "The conditions were so bad, she too had drank out of toilets" .....AOC.

The toilet at Rikers Island:

Combination sink/toilets have become all the rage in prisons. And of course, they lend credence to those who claim they were forced to drink from a toilet!

Indeed, I do. She also falsely, emotionally, and tearfully told us the same a few years ago about the women's bathroom facilities in Trump's southwestern border prisons for illegal aliens. They were the same as the Rikers toilet/sink units (which always have different water sources) in your photo. 

If she really wants to do something to fix the "carceral system", she should demand a meeting with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and then publicly excoriate them for their notorious histories of incarcerating "black and brown men".

Since her self-stated "inauguration" in 2019, Sandy Cortez has repeatedly proven that she slept through her BU classes.

Defund the police and close the prisons.  What could possibly go wrong?

Social justice by eliminating the legal justice system won't be a train wreck?  Maybe AOC is pandering to the wrong people.

I personally would like so see a reasonable definition here of a right wing/white nationalist. Seems to me that this becoming a convenient catch phrase on NT for any Republican and/or right leaning conservative that does not share the world view of many on the hard core liberal left who are all too eager to tar all conservatives  with right leaning views with the same brush.

But then bush showed himself as a never trumper and suddenly he was ok. And then there was john mccain. Back when he ran for president the left called him all sorts of nasty things but as soon as he comes out against trump he was suddenly a hero. Same thing with romney. I really don’t think liberals have a clue as to how stupid they look.

Goldwater the libertarian was a Nazi too.  Everyone's who disagrees with them is a Nazi, and  a fascist until they are safely dead or no longer a political threat, and then they are held up as a what "Good Republicans" look like. Mitt Romney was the racist, murderer of old ladies in 2012 who was going to put black people back in chains according to Biden, but they'll call him a saint when he dies. 

It's just sad they've fallen for it for generations at this point, without ever realizing how easily they've been  manipulated.

And as she says............."You just pay for it"

"Asked how she’ll pay for her agenda, AOC replied: “People often say, like, ‘how are you going to pay for it?’ And I find the question so puzzling, because, how do you pay for something that’s more affordable?”

You see, she insists that “Medicare for All” will overall save money. No matter that its widely estimated cost to the taxpayers is more than $3 trillion a year; Uncle Sam’s magic wand will make the numbers work.

“How do you pay for cheaper rent?” she explained. “You just pay for it.”

That right there is a mental giant...................said no one ever

Oh, yes, we always hear from our Socialist members telling us that the real thing has never been tried. Then we get a term paper on Socialism.

It's kind of like Fauci defining "Gain of Function research" or Clinton defining "IS"

So ... up here in the Great Whiteout we've had medicare for all of 50+ years and our costs are 50% less than yours with equal outcomes. Who do you want to pay, private health insurance at 100% or government insurance at 50%?

"I want to abolish our carceral system

You mean prison? Just say  “prison.” It’s way less douchey and pretentious. When you’re using a word that you know is not used in common speech, and you are trying to communicate to the general public, then you are being a pretentious, posturing douchebag.

that's designed to trap Black and Brown men."

No, it isn’t. It isn’t designed for that at all. It’s designed to hold convicted criminals regardless of their color or sex. If it were designed to trap black and brown men, it’s doing a shitty job of it. Have a look at the demographics for California’s prisons :

28.5% of the prison population is black. Are they over represented? Absolutely. But that number also means that 71.5% of prisoners are not black. That’s a pretty inefficient performance for a system designed to trap black men.

Across the country , the number of black men in prison has declined steadily over the last 15 years, with whites and blacks having almost equal overall numbers in prison. Again, that’s a poor showing for something designed to trap black men.
