1. Oh my

[johnthewoodworker]

10. MTG against AOC. MTG in a debate is like putting a puppy in a gunfight.

[Ilsa]

11. Please, don't make me feel sorry for the underdog. LOL. nt

[Butterflylady]

23. That is funny.

Thanks for the laugh.

[Grins]

29. The problem - it gives Greene a platform.

To spout her stew-pud.
THAT is what Greene wants, a forum.
It will solve nothing; no minds will be changed.
Comment snips will be edited and endlessly forwarded and forwarded by the Reich.

I don’t understand why AOC is even bothering to participate. There is no “win” here.

[central scrutinizer]

40. Another ka-ching moment for her.

The dough will pour in from the Q-cultists.

[wnylib]

43. It won't happen. MTG says after she has read

the whole thing (14 pages). That's her excuse to avoid a direct confrontation on something she knows nothing about and never will, no matter how many times she reads the proposal.

MTG does not want to debate AOC. She just wants to spout stupid stuff about the green new deal.

[Claire Oh Nette]

44. Is she?

AOC, I mean.
Participating.

Pretty sure Greene's tweet is not in any way a record of that exchange.

More like:

Q: Did you drop this?
AOC: Oh, yes, thank you.
Q: Can I have your autograph?
AOC: Sure. Who should I make it out to???

[usaf-vet]

21. One will try and debate the other will LIE. Guess which one will start and end with LIES.

[jimfields33]

2. So dumb

Not even in same district or even state.

[Deuxcents]

3. MTG wants publicity

She will try to turn this into some kind of circus. AOC should ignore her as she has no credibility.

[TheRealNorth]

4. Yup

It won't be a debate. It will be MTG accusing AOC that she wants everyone to walk 200 miles and not eat meat.

[Claire Oh Nette]

45. THis.

AOC has no reason to debate Greene.
AOC has written legislation, and the House can debate it.

Greene behaves as though
1) she's in high school
2) she matters

Perhaps she ought to review what happened when Lindsey Graham and John (no relation) Kennedy debated Georgia Voter Suppression laws. For someone who eschews education, she certainly wants to be publicly schooled.

[FM123]

6. Yep.

This is like Krazy Kim of North Korea wanting to meet and take pictures with Trumpy so he could look relevant.....

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Like North Korea n Dumpy.

Legitimacy they lack, so they hope some rubs off.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Yep.

It's just another one of her ploys for attention, and for campaign donations. Hopefully, AOC doesn't bite.

[Politicub]

32. It would be great if AOC told Greene she's a joke. But AOC

takes her job a lot more seriously than any MAGAT.

I hope AOC doesn’t do the debate, even if it’s just to deprive Greene of a platform.

[Lovie777]

5. AOC will debate on facts and knowledge . . .

the other one will debate on conspiracy theories.

[MiHale]

7. Empty Greene showing off again...

Telling people she can read and complete a task.

[iluvtennis]

8. If there is a debate, AOC wins it! Majorie Green is nothing but a stupid jackass. nt

[NNadir]

9. Why would an intelligent person agree to debate an insect?

Doing so would raise the status of the insect.

I have no use whatsoever for the so called "green new deal," since I regard it as an ideologically conservative bill advancing an approach to climate change, one which despite popular enthusiasm has failed already, but my objections involve engineering and thermodynamic considerations and are not the insane mutterings of a certifiable nutcase illiterate who should be consigned to being treated as such.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Lowlife climber scrambling for relevance on an elevated stage

mental thuggery vs. intelligence and class

[FakeNoose]

13. What would be the point of this?

We already know that Alexandra is a smart and tough cookie. She certainly can hold her own in any brisk debate of the issues. But why give the free airtime to Greene, who doesn't deserve it? All Greene wants is some red meat to throw to the Magats.

AOC should find a better debate partner and more a productive way to spend her time.

[Carlitos Brigante]

14. Agreed!! nt

[Grins]

30. ESPECIALLY to Greene! NM

[Alpeduez21]

17. There is no upside to this for AOC

The fascist will just shout stupid right wing talking points over the reasonable discourse AOC will attempt. No minds will be changed, no actual debate will happen and it will become video fodder for Faux news.

Basically, Marjorie Taylor Green will act like that child rapist Jordan. If it were me I wouldn't even respond. Of course, I'm not as smart as Representative Cortez so there's that.

[Orangepeel]

50. yes. it would be like playing chess with a chicken

there is no way to win when your opponent just knocks over the pieces and shits on the board while loudly squawking.

[SheilaAnn]

18. One of the many things I admire about AOC is that she doesn't try to "overlord" her opponents. This

"debate" may just be a charitable nod to MTG, knowing she will slay her in the end..LOL.

[brush]

19. Greene is desperate for attention/relevancy because she has no committee...

assignments. She's a nobody without creating a stir to get notice.

If I were AOC I wouldn't debate her. Don't give her the visibility the she craves as she's trying to piggyback on AOC's popularity.

[wyn borkins]

20. "In The Year 2525"

I read JRehling's remark (tweet) as "Sometime In The Year 3535" wherein (one-hit-wonder) Rick Evans states (that MTG says) "Ain't gonna need to tell the truth..."

[enraged pedestrian]

22. Nice

So hard in 2021 to find a Zager and Evans reference, TY, LOL, nice job, u must be like me, over 65

[wyn borkins]

25. Appreciations, and...

Thank You. Now when you reach my age, I'll pass my walker onto you, as I won't be needing it anymore...

[central scrutinizer]

41. A pox on you for the ear worm!

I grew up in Nebraska and “hits” by local talent were rare so that ridiculous song was played a lot.

[wyn borkins]

51. A Little Late (but I can still hear them singing)!

Perhaps Link to tweet
" target="_blank">this might 'clear-out' those pesky ear worms...

[Rebl2]

24. I believe

AOC has better things to do with her time.

[rateyes]

26. Not a fair fight! AOC will be battling

wits with an unarmed person.

[wiggs]

27. Before they debate GND, a solution, they should debate whether or not there's even

a problem that needs a solution. Because that's the first crossroads...MTG and the like deny there's a need to address environmental damage and climate change in the first place. So ANY proposal to address those issues will be criticized and obstructed.

Get them to acknowledge the problem first because most americans believe there's a problem. Build from there.

[Norbert]

28. I liken this to dump wanting to debate Angela Merkel on Quantum Chemistry

Please proceed Marjorie.

[NQAS]

31. What a fucking moron

Governance is not WWE or WWF in suits. MTG - Traitor, for short - is just trying to be relevant. She isn't, and never will be, other than as a traitor and, potentially, as a domestic terrorist.

When the legislation makes it way to the floor for debate, debate it. End of.

Now, go away.

[Hortensis]

33. :) Ocasio-Cortez is so far ignoring the invitation to rumble for attention.

Smart and trust she will keep it up.

I notice her Twitter's list of people to follow shows the WH, Biden, Harris, Stacey Abrams, Michelle Obama. And Twitter's list of people similar to her includes all our Democratic leaders and some of her farther-left house colleagues. I didn't see the anti-Democratic Party activists who got her elected to congress and who she originally brought to DC with her or the 2016-2020 surrogates like Nina Turner, but she did endorse Turner for congress.

[DinahMoeHum]

36. Good. MTG is nothing but an attention (bleep). . .

. . .playing to her rube voters so they will waste their life's savings on her.

[Hortensis]

42. Yes, and hope that's all she turns out to be. She was a bleeping-crazy activist

before she was perfect-stormed into congress, so she probably really likes what she's part of now.

When the RW extremism dies down,... But when's when? The Nazis' version got control and had Germany by the throat for 15 years before destroying it and themselves. Absolutely worst case, of course. Maybe she'll be out of congress, shopping for beach houses and fighting FEC rulings, after the next election.

[fescuerescue]

34. I miss the days when people had names.

OMG! WTF?

BRB

[ShazzieB]

38. AOC JFK FDR LOL!

But seriously, it's not really a new thing to use initials as a shortcut for people with names that are long enough to be a pain to type out. AOC's full name is a mouthful and a keyboard full, and I will never type it all out if I can avoid it. 3 keystrokes instead of 24 (counting letters and spaces)? Hell, yeah.

[DBoon]

48. When I see AOC, I think of this

[progressoid]

35. This is just political theater for Greene

She'll get the attention she craves.

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. In other words...

...meet with someone that DOES know what they're talking about. get them to explain the more demanding, (3-syllable+ parts) and, most importantly, teach her some talking points.

[In It to Win It]

39. AOC shouldn't do this. MTG is chasing clout.

[struggle4progress]

46. I'm against it

[Johonny]

47. MTG has nothing to add to any discussion. Debating her is a waste of time.

She just wants attention.

[Captain Zero]

49. Man. That is shit ton of pages..
