Glorying in the humiliation of others — it's not an endearing trait.

Be careful what you want, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, because you might just get it.

The text caption accompanying the video disappeared behind it. I had to grab a screenshot to see the text.

"Glorying in the humiliation of others — it's not an endearing trait."

Not if you want to be nice. Progs don't, so it endears progs to other progs.

I don't know. I saw some street interviews done in the Bronx recently, the people they talked to seemed very receptive to Trump.

She is hoping for violence, not humiliation.

Readering ayon kay ...

Her statement makes no sense. He campaigns around the country. Plus, what's a legal version of ankle bracelet a legal thing itself?

BUMBLE BEE ayon kay ...

Carville dragged a fifty dollar bill through the Bronx.
Paydirt!

mindnumbrobot ayon kay ...

She makes it sound as if it's a political prosecution or something.

Iman ayon kay ...

She needs an ankle bracelet on her mouth and then she should ankle it out of our country.

I watched the clip without sound. Her expression and manner remind me of Kamala Harris. It looks insincere.

Howard ayon kay ...

Uh, Trump is beyond humiliation. That's his one superpower. AOC is humiliating herself by trying to shame someone who lacks a conscience.

There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. While working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence, small numbers of donkeys or asses are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries.

An adult male donkey is a jack or jackass, an adult female is a jenny or jennet,[4][5][6] and an immature donkey of either sex is a foal.[6] Jacks are often mated with female horses (mares) to produce mules; the less common hybrid of a male horse (stallion) and jenny is a hinny.

A third dimension appears on the (now) crazy/hot/stupid graph.

AOC is WAY out there on her own.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

Has he been able to find a venue- that still isn't clear to me. The city will definitely try to refuse him a rally should he actually try.

I can tell that the idea frightens people like Occasional Cortex, but I doubt it actually happens.

I doubt she'd pass the Bob Seger "...way up firm and high" test

Static Ping ayon kay ...

AOC is one of those women that seems like a catch - attractive, intelligent, caring - and once you get to know her better you realize she is incredibly dumb and self-centered. Simply not worth it.

Unfortunately, many members of Congress are incredibly dumb and self-centered, though most of them have the decency to not be attractive.

Chuck ayon kay ...

Just minutes ago in the comments for Althouse's blog post on the new Trump biopic, I linked to the Wikipedia page concerning the years-long defamation lawsuit filed by Trump against author Tim O'Brien over O'Brien's book, "TrumpNation." I wanted to mention this quote from that page. It's Trump himself, long after his lawsuit had failed, and all of Trump's costly appeals had been exhausted and Trump was ordered to pay costs in the case.

Trump, quoted in the Washington Post: "I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more. I did it to make his life miserable, which I'm happy about."

FullMoon ayon kay ...



"I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more. I did it to make his life miserable, which I'm happy about."

"...Trump was ordered to pay costs in the case."

Guess Trump was misquoted.

The Vault Dweller ayon kay ...

If Trump gets thousands of people to attend his rally in the Bronx it will be a yuge upset for the Dems. If they haven't already the Dems need to be organizing 'protestors' so they can have a visual to show of the same event with people who are against Trump. The Trump team needs to have people outside and in surrounding areas recording to see if they can get video of 'organic protestors," coming off buses or public transportation, so they can counter the Dems' counter to his rally.

Artless Aztec: She's got a great rack. She should lead with that.

It's the only way to guarantee we wouldn't hear a word she said.

wendybar ayon kay ...

If the little girl with the big ego hates America this much, maybe little girl with the big mouth should leave and find a better country she is more suited for. No big loss to any of us. She is pathetic, and really shows that we need smaller, more logical people in government...not more leeches.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

"Trump, quoted in the Washington Post: "I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more. I did it to make his life miserable, which I'm happy about."

Hey, Chuck the Cunt, that is just Trump playing by the rules people like you made. Welcome to the party, Pal!

Tina Trent ayon kay ...

All the girls from Scarsdale are like that.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

But, keep it up, Chuck the Cunt- every post you make causes people like us to support Trump more, not less, you dumb fuck.

Prediction 1: Trump will get a YUGE turnout in the Bronx.

Prediction 2: The media will find a few people from Texas and report the crowd size was due to crazy MAGA people from out of state.

Anthony ayon kay ...

I notice her behind more. FWIW.

She always seems to me to look like a confused horse eating an apple.

Tina Trent ayon kay ...

Also, can you imagine Trump on the campaign trail wearing a leg monitor? Do these people think it will shame him? He'd blazon it like a boxing title belt.

Mason G ayon kay ...

I don't see Trump as being humiliated here. I'd think running political show trials would be embarrassing to anyone regularly harping on the threats to "Our Democracy™", but Democrats aren't self-aware enough to feel embarrassment.

tim maguire ayon kay ...

She's popular in her district. And Fani Willis won her primary.

Some voters just don't care about the things sane rational people care about and in some circumstances, those people can become a majority.

Probably SEIU buses, as with the Wisconsin Capitol protests some years ago.

"She's popular in her district. And Fani Willis won her primary. Some voters just don't care about the things sane rational people care about and in some circumstances, those people can become a majority."

Most of NYC is like this - filled with foreigners, idiots from far flung states, and residents that have all drunk the marketing Kool-Aid injected into TV shows, movies and social media. The entire city is a pyramid scheme constantly looking for the next sucker who's dumb enough to buy-in the sunk cost so that they can't leave and need to find the next patsy. It appears the phenomenon is spreading beyond the Big Crapple too.

It's a fake town filled with a lot of fake people. You know what they say about New York City...if you can fake it there, you can fake it anywhere!

Tina Trent ayon kay ...

Also also, what are "Bronxites"? I had family in Da Bronx.

"Uh, Trump is beyond humiliation. That's his one superpower"

Howard, this is actual insight, well beyond 95% of Congress. Idiots trying to make Trump feel bad (or "bankrupt" him) are mostly showing what they actually fear. They are impostors who couldn't lead a parade.

Ironically, the part about Trump having a conscience is where you're most wrong, and where you could also do some actual damage. He hates seeing people get hurt, especially children- even foreign ones.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Democrats are the neoNazi movement at this point. With a dash of Soviet superiority.

Mason G ayon kay ...

"He hates seeing people get hurt, especially children..."

Who are the people celebrating the idea of children sterilizing themselves, resulting in a lifetime dependency on pharmaceutical companies and the medical industry? That would be Democrats.

But yeah- it's Trump who lacks a conscience. What a maroon.

When was the last time 'Sandy from the block' was in the South Bronx? Was that interview done in DC?

It's a broader issue, for instance his aversion to starting foreign wars and bombing neighborhoods. But yes, it's why Trump might do surprisingly well against Geno Joe among all blocks of American society.

Breezy ayon kay ...

Well at least she rode her white horse in to save Rep. Crockett from the likes of MTG. Goodness knows Crockett couldn’t have battled with MTG all on her own... Crockett’s eyelashes required a save, but a ride in to save Trump from bullying political persecution? Not so much.

Mason G ayon kay ...

"It's a broader issue, for instance his aversion to starting foreign wars and bombing neighborhoods."

Democrats do like killing people, don't they? I mean- when they're not busy segregating them into groups and setting those groups against each other.

An Omaha version of Trump is doing that to my client. This clown brought his wife to mediation yesterday. What a loser.

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

The preamble to the NE Code of Professional Conduct states that the law is not to be used, "to harass or intimidate people."

The plaintiff in the case filed against my client has NO monetary damages. Pure harassment.

Lawyers who use the law to harass and intimidate people are pure scum.

james ayon kay ...

A few questions, Chuck. Are you for or against the use of the legal system to harass opponents? Does it depend on who is being targeted and who is doing that targeting? Would the inference that you are acknowledging that the prosecutions of Trump are not legally sound be correct? What to make of the views of law professors of no mean note, including Dershowitz, Jonothan Turley, and our gracious host, Professor Althouse, none of whom are Trump supporters but are critical of all or some of the prosecutions of Trump?

Finally, which of our basic legal principles are you willing to sacrifice to get Trump, and which do you think ought to be maintained? It is difficult to tell that you aren't willing to sacrifice all of them.

james ayon kay ...

Oh, BTW, Chuck, most importantly, are you seriously trying to imply that abuse of the civil litigation system by private actors is somehow the equivalent of the government abusing the criminal legal system to attack its citizens?

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

AOC just gave Trump a great idea for a comercial.

AOC: "I'm looking forward to the response of everyday Bronxites talking about how they feel about him coming to their backyard."

Mason G ayon kay ...

"Finally, which of our basic legal principles are you willing to sacrifice to get Trump..."

He won't want to sacrifice any principles that he might find useful in the future, just that they should be ignored in this case. Because, as every good leftist believes, Trump is literally Hitler and nothing is too extreme in the effort to destroy him.

Craig Mc ayon kay ...

Ahem. Didn't she have her own campaign finance issues?

Mary Beth ayon kay ...

Prediction 2: The media will find a few people from Texas and report the crowd size was due to crazy MAGA people from out of state.

Which will fool the people who watch the news. Everyone else will see Twitch live streams, video tweets, FB reels, and TikToks of very NYC sounding people at the rally.

They don't need Texans. They'll have no problem finding NYC progs willing to lie for them. "Literally Hitler", after all.

I usually cut Althouse some slack, but this is not a good look for her.

How is she not trying to point out what she thinks is AOC's humiliation?

gadfly ayon kay ...

If Trump is humiliated, it is self-imposed beginning with his super narcissism that erupts every time he makes a public appearance. In court four days a week he desperately tries to hide from the fact that he is not in control. So he stares, displays anger, sleeps, and even shits in his pants.

With all the attacks that Trump has made on others throughout his adult life, none of his victims are sorry to see him grovel. But Never Trumpers following the trial are silently pleased to observe that he continuously violates Healey's First Law of Holes - he digs ever deeper.

Speaking of humiliation, the blue-suit, red-tie crowd of sycophants who sit in the first rows of the court only to march out to parrot Trump's words that he is not permitted to say is a perfect example of The Former Guy belittling his supporters. Somebody has to pay, I suppose.

And when the rubber meets the road, the dirty little coward would not testify on his own behalf after he stated that he undoubtedly would do so.
