I do wish you would respond to these. Still afraid to respond?

Moi? Afraid? *laughing hysterically*

1.If she is truly "caring for mine", then how is it that four years later, the gm's house is still not repaired?

You know that it's not?

2. What if AOC had gotten behind the fundraising and even plopped in 10K herself? How much do you think they could have raised?

I don't give a rip. The entire island needs financial help.

3. A simple agreement would be helpful. "Yes, a person who refuses to help her gm and refuses to accept help from others is pretty sorry." It would certainly allow us to move on.

Absolutely do not agree. You're dragging me down into pettiness. Guess I'll put on my librarian hat and contact AOC.

I don't give a rip.

Pretty much sums it up. It's a lot easier to be critical of Trump than it is to get off your rear end and do something productive.

You know that it's not?

Yes. And again, it's that link on post 1, with the accompanying pics on the twitter link, that shows it. So now that we have that established, I'll ask you again. If she is truly "caring for mine", then how is it that four years later, the gm's house is still not repaired?

So in your mind it's OK for a person to refuse to help their needy gm and also refuse to allow others to help her. Well, all I can say to that is "Wow!!" That's incredible. It's where your liberal political position has taken you.

One more question. Considering that her granddaughter has a good income, why should the American taxpayer be responsible for fixing granny's house? Why can't a well to do congresswoman take care of her own grandmother?

Here are the pics. Does it look repaired to you???

[tomder55]

it is in fact AOC's hatred of Trump that makes her deflect from the true causes of most of the hardship of the people of Puerto Rico . She is just using her Grandmother as a prop .

[jlisenbe]

She is just using her Grandmother as a prop .

That would seem to be a logical conclusion.

I still like this question. Considering that her granddaughter has a good income, why should the American taxpayer be responsible for fixing granny's house? Why can't a well to do congresswoman take care of her own grandmother?

[Wondergirl]

No, She is just using her Grandmother as a prop .

No, as an example.

[jlisenbe]

So that explains why she is actively opposing the repair of her gm's house. It's all too valuable as an "example". Wow. What a sickening thought.

[Wondergirl]

Your grandmother lives in Canada that has universal healthcare. She ends up in the hospital and has to have her left leg amputated because of cellulitus. Will you pay all her hospital/medical expenses?

[jlisenbe]

If that was what was needed, then of course I would. But you are making a false comparison. All Canadians are entitled to med care by law. Americans are not entitled, by law, to have their houses fixed.

Would you let your gm's house be a shambles for four years and then prevent a group from repairing it because you don't agree with them politically? I would think it would be an absolute embarrassment. Why didn't she make sure her gm had insurance on her house?

"He (she) who does not take care of his own is worse than an infidel."

Puerto Rico funds the US government
Puerto Ricans who live on the island aren’t just American citizens — they’re American taxpayers. They pay payroll taxes, business taxes, and estate taxes. They helped pay for disaster relief in Texas after Hurricane Harvey and in Florida after Hurricane Irma.

[Puerto Rico is] entitled to the same response and financial help that the federal government extended to those states. This is not a matter of charity or goodwill. It’s how the federal government is supposed to work.

Which is why they should become a state . As a territory they are not given fair treatment . AOC proposes more of the same by leaving status quo as an option.

We all pay taxes, but no government, fed, state, or otherwise has an obligation to repair our houses. Your argument is simply a losing one. Even federal disaster assistance does not pay for house repairs. That's what insurance is for.

Q: Will FEMA pay for all home repairs or contract work?
A: No. FEMA does not pay to return your home to its pre-disaster condition. FEMA provides grants to qualified homeowners to repair damage not covered by insurance, but these grants may not pay for all the damage. However, an SBA disaster loan may return a home to its pre-disaster condition.

But tRump refused to help Puerto Rico.

[jlisenbe]

But tRump refused to help Puerto Rico.

Don't know about that, but I do know that AOC has refused to help rebuild her gm's house and has refused to allow others to help rebuild it. The cost of being an "example" has been high for her gm.

I would give you the same answer I gave you when you asked that question the first time above in posts 47 and 48. Are you feeling OK?

[Wondergirl]

Are you feeling OK?

No, you didn't answer because of your "but", and your attitude is making me ill.

[jlisenbe]

I did answer. Anyway, you are happy with a woman who refuses to help her gm or let others help her. I think it stinks. I guess we can just leave it there.

And you are happy believing lies.

[jlisenbe]

Oh stop being stupid. What lie have I believed?

[jlisenbe]

My apologies for being rude.

I'm done with this silly conversation. There has been no suggestion of me believing a lie. That AOC is guilty has been proven beyond doubt BY HER OWN WORDS. If you can't accept the most simple truths, then talk with someone else. I'm done with it.
