If she is holding a true public event she cannot exclude the media because the media have the same rights to be in places any other citizen is allowed to be.  It is basic civil rights, that's why in all the video coverage of lefty protests you never see cops removing journalists from public spaces.

Here is a link to help fill you in on how the 1st amendment protects journalists.

Did you even read that link before posting it, or just grab the first result from Google?   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Court decisions have suggested that reporters do not enjoy greater information-gathering rights than members of the public.

Everything in that article is about government and police actions that can violate 1st A rights of reporters.  Nothing about a campaign-sponsored event where press is excluded.

So word on the street is prior to 2016 she was a bartender.  Then the Key Stone protest happened and she and a friend started a GoFundMe to go to N. Dakota.

Once there she met with some "important" people who paved the way for her running for office.  Had training in TN and KY.  The same important people who get other democrats elected of the past many years.

Believe the bartender thing is fact (or was confirmed) and heard the latter activism part in her "rise". 

What qualifications does she have?  The more I look into her background, she sounds like a spoiled brat.  I guess the people of NY wanted change.  Well, they got it.

People in NY are sheep and vote according to marketing.  She is very charismatic.  But holds no real world experience.  At least Trump has XP managing a company and starting one.  Good job NY citizens.

Sounds like more experience and qualifications than Øbozo had,  Both "groomed" by mysterious non-persons.

At least she had a real job tending bar for a while.

So Barry never held a regular job after college?  At least Hillary/Bill worked as an attorney.  Even though Hillary did get a child rapist off the hook.  "I know he did it hahahha".

Both had "make-work" jobs that paid well but did not require much of anything.  Neither practiced law and later had their licenses revoked for undisclosed reasons.

What you quoted from the article doesn't address at all what I said. I never claimed that reporters have more rights than the public.

Here is the relevant part of the article.
"Assuming a protest is in a public place, reporters don’t need credentials to cover it. They enjoy a right of access along with the public, and don’t need permission to be there or to engage in newsgathering activities there. "

Actaually, if it's an ANTIFA rally, then you gotta be with them and their reporters or have a high chance of being attacked.  Why they're not labeled a terrorist organization and the proud boys are?  I've seen the Hawaii proud boys chapter and like Hawaii, it has a huge mix.  Japs, Flips, Haoles, Potagee, etc...Maybe the Hawaii proud boys chapter is just bad at that racism (KKK) thing like how Trump is bad at being a so called racist.

I don't agree with this at all. I still think Jimmy Carter was the stupidest person elected to public office. But "Creepy Joe" is a close second. I really do miss all those Obama/Biden memes that came out after Trump was elected.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm not sure stupid is the best characterization of Carter.  He was a horrible President because he put humanitarian concerns ahead of national strength, making the US a target of our enemies:  OPEC, Russia, Iran, Libya, .....

I don't think I've seen cars sitting in line for miles & for hours waiting to get gasoline before the station ran out -- on the driver's even/odd designated day to buy gas (a form of rationing) -- at any other time in my life like it was under Carter.

Energy (oil) drives this economy. That crisis drove up prices to 6-10 times in a month for groceries.  Bank loans were at 22% -- even secured loans.  It was a bleak time.  By contrast, Reagan could not do any worse if he tried.

Was Carter stupid?  He seemed to be a pretty good Governor.  He just wasn't cut out to be Commander in Chief and leader of the most powerful nation on Earth.

Wasn't around for Carter yet.  But I did hear stories about the gas shortages and stuff.

Creepy Joe isn't funny at all, but creepy as hell.

Bush Jr to me tops all jokes/memes.  Especially when he was at the Mexico/US border.  Bush Jr never let me down, his difficulty putting on a poncho at Trumps swearing in.  Just when you thought he was out of the spot light, enter poncho.

I must be a little older than you. I remember the 73-74 oil embargo, which was faked as there were dozens of full oil tankers parked in outer Los Angeles harbor.
This may get me banned, but the problem is not "stupid" politicians, but the Democrats that elect them.
All our energy problems can be traced to Liberals and the politicization of the energy markets.  From the creation of the EPA to opposition to
drilling off the California coast we have been screwed by people that think they are the natural rulers of America.

Lucky there were not a lot more incidents with the corruption going on with the gas stations and closing in SoCal.  Saw some big gas guzzler station wagon with soccer mom being fueled at a "closed" gas station.  Owner/guy pumping gave me stink eye as I slowed way down to check it out.

i am sure that sort of thing was going on everywhere.  SoCal is corruption central.  They would refuse a gallon or two for a motorcycle claiming it was recreational.

Ocasio-Cortez called out for claiming Pentagon $$ error could fund Medicare for all

Quote
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was roundly fact-checked this week -- by even liberal-leaning publications -- for suggesting a reported $21 trillion in Pentagon accounting errors could fund most of her proposed "Medicare for all" health care program.

Ocasio-Cortez, one of the highest-profile figures among the new wave of liberal Democrats entering Congress in 2019, cited a Nation story about how $21 trillion in "Pentagon financial transactions" between 1998 and 2015 could not be documented or explained.

“$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ocasio-cortez-called-out-for-claiming-pentagon-cash-would-cover-medicare-for-all

Sad thing is that I bet there are millions to already ate this up and think she's the best ever and won't go back or care about the truth behind the initial statement.

In case readers do not immediately understand why her comment is so f*cking stupid:

Quote
In FY 2017, the Congressional Budget Office reported spending of $590 billion for defense,
about 15% of the federal budget. For the FY 2019 President Donald Trump proposed an increase
to the military to $681.1 billion.

To "find" an "extra" $21T in the Pentagon budget, we would have to give up the entire military budget of ~$600M for the next 35,000 years.

            600,000,000
x                   35,000
---------------------------
21,000,000,000,000

So she had an interview today.

Basically she's saying if we do more renewable energy our unemployment will fall even more. Something about if we reduce climate change unemployment will fall.

 And she thinks we can be 100% renewable energy.

I wonder why the DNC allows her to do interviews.  I guess it's what got her elected in the 1st place.

She's a distraction, but a distraction agenda that they can control. . . :hmm:

Wonder what they are doing that they don't want us to see.   :shake:

I'm mostly kidding. . . but what if?
