   AOC would like to lead a communist regime not be a slave in one. Idiot.

   I think it’s nice to entertain alternative perspectives. One I would like to suggest is that Ms Ocasio-Corte is a good actress. After (possibly some specialized training outside acting) she was hired for a role. She plays the role to attract the love and admiration of fans and hatred and disdain of others. Applause and hisses.

   She can ad lib fairly well but does much better following scripts she has rehearsed.

   Maybe some day the scriptwriters might have her turn republican some day. It would be good soap opera and would have the fans squirming in their seats with excitement. Some might even start throwing chairs. It would be like one of those times when a professional wrestling person who is Good turns Bad or vice versa.

   In other words, perhaps you are right. However another possibility is that she merely wants to follow the script like a pro. There may be other possibilities that are more realistic. I do not know and cannot know.

   ….

   Just an idea.

   Does anyone think it is possible that AOC is Justin Trudeau’s half sister? Fidel got around, and, by all reports, the lefty ladies loved that big cuban cigar.

     I’d like to be able to figure out how to work in some pedophilia or incest here but haven’t figured out the details yet. There must be a good angle or two to work however.

     ….

     I can’t help repeating a conspiratorialist idea I read in the comments section from off-guardian a while back that is so entertaining that … well, it bears repeating IMO if only for entertainment value.

     The person noted that (and I don’t think this is disputed) that the US clandestinely supported FCastro and his rebels while Castro was supposedly in his “liberal” lawyer gone-to-the-jungle phase. (This would be around the time of Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havanna — surely a Must Read book, at least the 1st few chapters.) The US in standard divide-and-rule, play all sides, have a finger or more in everything, fashion supported him and Battista.

     Might it be possible, this commenter wondered, that FCastro continued to be a US asset all along? That way the US could play the have-a-role-in-everything even in most anti-US guerrilla movements in Latin America. They could also have a great asset for use against the USSR seemingly within the USSR bloc. Entertaining tho presumably totally nutty.

       While I’m going way off topic, indulge me a charming stupid Castro joke I heard in SAmerica decades ago. It may work better in Spanish, but it does translate into English.

       Soon after The Revolution Fidel Castro assembled the Faithful to assign roles. Soon it came to who was going to be responsible for the economy. “Who’s a good economist?” “Me! Me! Me! Me!” shouted Raul, jumping up and down with excitement. “OK,” said Fidel, and picked him.

       Not long thereafter the economy was a total wreck. “Raul, you said you were a good economist.” Raoul replied, “I thought you were asking, ‘Who is a good Communist?'”.
