About America’s New Social Hierarchy

[GURPS]

The more important image from the dress saga isn’t the one now meme-ified a million times over, wherein mini Jenny from the Block is seen posing alone, looking back over her shoulder so the text can be seen by the camera. It’s the one Ocasio-Cortez posted on Twitter, apparently being fitted for the dress. The congresswoman is not wearing a face covering. But the woman who helped her into the gown is.

That’s the way this works now. The misery of social distancing and mask-wearing during the pandemic, both pushed by Democrats and the “experts,” are for you, the help, to endure. Not the rich and famous. Not the ones who establish and insist on those rules.

It started off looking like obscene hypocrisy: Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot shutting down salons and then getting a handsome haircut. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visiting a closed stylist in San Francisco, against government orders, for a maskless primping. Democrat New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio overseeing the closure of gyms before heading to a fitness center for a quick pump. Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser reinstating an indoor mask mandate before attending an indoor wedding reception without a face cover.

When it’s so frequent and with no penalty, it’s no longer a matter of hypocrisy. It’s just the way these people think the order is supposed to be.
And it’s not just masks. Recall Democrat Missouri Rep. Cori Bush calling to defund the police and then retaining her own private security. That’s the way she truly believes it should be.

The “tax the rich” dress wasn’t a display of hypocrisy. It was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reinforcing the new hierarchy.

AOC’s Dress Wasn’t About Hypocrisy, It Was About The Social Hierarchy

Terry McAuliffe Caught Flouting Federal Masking Orders On Amtrak Train


According to photos obtained by Fox News, one of the images shows McAuliffe “walking down the aisle of an Amtrak train, on a phone call, and not wearing a face covering,” while “standing under Amtrak’s sign stating face masks are required.” A second photo shows the former Virginia governor and now-candidate maskless while on a phone call in New York City’s Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station.

Actually what is weird is that she attends an event which costs the equivalent of about half a year's salary for most Americans and hobnobs with rich people - wearing a dress saying "Tax the Rich" (which always astonishes me, because they're just about the only ones paying the taxes, despite what the rest of us think). That she dismisses the wealthy aspect, because of some kind of relative wealth - as in, she means billionaires and not the people she was with. (Note to the elite - when you can blow that much money on A DINNER, that is rich. It doesn't matter if you have millions or billions).

That she can get all worked up over her body being objectified. Excuse me? You didn't carry a sign, your body was the sign.
So being objectified was kind of YOUR idea.

Chicks do that all the time. They dress to impress the guy they're after (even if it's their "notional" guy, and not an actual guy), dressed to the nines, as they used to say (slooty, as they say now), but get all bent if the "wrong" guys make a run on her. As long as I've been alive, I've never understood chick logic.

They are literally the gate keeper, and admission is by special invite only.

Wow. We know that's what they believe, but they usually work hard to find ways to hide it.

Wow. We know that's what they believe, but they usually work hard to find ways to hide it.

They feel like they don't have to anymore. Any populace that would accept Joe Biden as President will accept anything.

Democrat Terry McAuliffe Makes Enormous Blunder at Virginia Governor Debate


On what planet should parents not be directly involved in what’s being taught to their children? It is parents who elect schoolboards or elect the officials who appoint them. Kids are not wards of the state, not yet anyway, and it’s jarring to see someone who wants to be governor of a fairly large state pronounce that parents should have no say in whether educators feed their children garbage or not. Youngkin should have this playing on repeat in every single ad he puts out over the next month before the election. Make McAuliffe own the fact that he wants to cancel parental rights.

Obviously, this debate is spurred by things like Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology. But even if someone is far-left enough to believe those things are good to teach in schools, it’s a step further to denounce the autonomy that parents have over their own kids.

 

[stgislander]

A blunder maybe, but enormous???

All Terry has to do is carry Richmond, a couple NoVA counties, and likely the Tidewater and he's in. They probably already agree with him.

 

[Kyle]

I guarantee it won't cost him one vote from NoVA.

Fairfax Schools Sues Special-Ed Parents, Demanding ‘Damages’ For Publicizing Embarrassing Records The Schools Gave Them



Soon after The Daily Wire published an investigation that was unflattering to Democratic politician Terry McAuliffe and the Fairfax County Public Schools, FCPS filed legal action against the story’s source: the mother of a special-ed parent who relayed records that the school system provided to her under public records laws.

It also sued another mother of a special-needs student who runs a blog that published portions of the records. The documents are billing records showing how FCPS paid Hunton Andrews Kurth, a law firm that hired now-Virginia gubernatorial candidate McAuliffe as a top advisor, to do much of what parents say is the school system’s dirty work, including seeking to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed by special-ed parents who allege that their children were systematically physically abused by educators.
