[SPOILER: After recapping Ms. AOC's repeated mis-fires on how the 22nd Amendment was passed to block the then-deceased FDR from re-election, I dredge up a June 1943 NY Times article describing a proposed two-term limit amendment introduced by Sen Bailey (D,NC) that was tailored to exempt FDR in order to attract Democratic support. Ooops.]
IN the course of rambling on about the awesomeness of FDR, AOC explained that
"[Congress] had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."
Hmm. The 22nd Amendment that was eventually adopted emerged from the 80th Congress which convened in 1947 (p. 69, "Amendments to the Constitution: A Brief Legislative History". FDR had died in 1945; as an attempt to prevent his re-election the 22nd Amendment was sure to succeed. So har de har, AOC don't know much about history. In any case, the text of the 22nd Amendment includes a clause that makes it inapplicable to the officeholder(s) during the period of proposal and ratification (which was 1951).
But wait! Newsweek and some AOC fans try to bring her zaniness back to life. Newsweek:
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ ATTACKED ON TWITTER FOR CONSTITUTIONAL MISTAKE—BUT WAS SHE ACTUALLY RIGHT?
The Golden Rule of headlines is that if they ask a question the answer is no. But here they go:
However, some eagle-eyed social media commenters pointed out that the original architects of the 22nd Amendment were inspired by Roosevelt’s monopoly on the White House and began campaigning long before his death.
“FDR did die in office in ‘45 and the 22nd amendment did come in ‘47 but Congress did start the legislative process in 1944 prior to his death so that he would not be reelected,” another Twitter user wrote in Ocasio-Cortez’s defense. “It was not ratified soon enough and he won in ‘44. AOC did not misspeak, friends.”
Hold that thought. Back to Newsweek:
The National Constitution Center also had Ocasio-Cortez’s back. On its website, the nonpartisan organization explained: “Talk about a presidential term-limits amendment started in 1944, when Republican candidate Thomas Dewey said a potential 16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to democracy.
Liz Cheney joined in the fun with this mocking tweet:
We knew the Democrats let dead people vote. According to @AOC, they can run for President, too.
AOC had Newsweek on her side, which might have prompted unease or at least inspired some independent research. But instead, she doubled down on dumb:
Hey Rep. Cheney, I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment: https://www.newsweek.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-attacked-twitter-constitutional-mistake-was-she-1381693 …
Doubles down?
I was told there would be no math, if AOC was involved ...

Transferred to the Vietnamese Coast Guard. Nothing in the article about whether they are mew or surplus. I assume the latter, but this seems to be an ongoing program.
The news outlet noted that the six vessels came in “addition to another twelve ‘Metal Shark’ patrol boats and a high-endurance cutter provided to Vietnam by the United States in the last two years.”
Sounds like a plan to me. I think both our nations have gotten past our earlier conflict and have some commonalities we can work on today.

The Democrats today killed a Bill that would have provided great relief to Farmers and yet more money to Puerto Rico despite the fact that Puerto Rico has already been scheduled to receive more hurricane relief funding than any “place” in history. The people of Puerto Rico.....
....are GREAT, but the politicians are incompetent or corrupt. Puerto Rico got far more money than Texas & Florida combined, yet their government can’t do anything right, the place is a mess - nothing works. FEMA & the Military worked emergency miracles, but politicians like.....
....the crazed and incompetent Mayor of San Juan have done such a poor job of bringing the Island back to health. 91 Billion Dollars to Puerto Rico, and now the Dems want to give them more, taking dollars away from our Farmers and so many others. Disgraceful!

She tweeted this 1 Feb 2018:
---
"May not have an education?"
I have a degree in Economics and another in Intl. Relations from Boston University.
Before that MIT honored my work in microbiology.
---
Now for the facts. BU requires 28 Econ credits for an Econ minor, 44 for a major. She took 12 credit hours because her IR degree was an economics track, in classes such as "Economics of Less-Developed Regions." She does not have a BU Econ degree.
As for the microbiology thing, this is even funnier. It has to do with her finishing second place in her high school science fair.
Lastly, I want to give a shoutout to Alexthechick for this wonderful Tweet last night:

NEW: Firms Tied To Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele Were Paid $3.8 Million By Soros-Backed Group
The Democracy Integrity Project, a nonprofit that receives funding from George Soros, paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017.
Tax filings show that The Democracy Integrity Project provided its research to “government entities.”
The group’s founder, a former staffer for Dianne Feinstein, has described it as a “shadow media organization” that helps the government.

I wonder why this trial hasn't gotten very much coverage.

All it required was for the Obama administration to have a small group at the top of the DOJ/FBI who were either in on the scam or willing to overlook the abuse. There was no adversarial oversight.
The whole thing needs to be reworked from the ground up.

I remember when the "Patriot Act" was passed, and I didn't take seriously those who said it was a serious breach of our liberties, and was a terrible bill that should never have been rammed through. I didn't take it seriously because Terrorism! And we have to support Bush!!!
Look how little time has passed, and it's obvious that the "Patriot Act" and the FISA amendments were one of the most damaging bills ever passed, easily as damaging to this country and to our rights as citizens as anything Obama ever did.
We created a Star Chamber, ripe for abuse, and we all sat around and twiddled our thumbs while it was done.

So Sandy Cortez was a brilliant student that was the apple of MIT's eye.
That's why she was a bartender.

I will say that that video establishes that she was a pretty good dancer.
Even if it does make her ass look big.

.@AFPWI How big of a spender is @GovEvers? He starts with a massive budget surplus, raises taxes more than $1 billion, borrows more than $2 billion, and still spends so much you end up with a nearly $2 billion structural deficit. From
