Flaming hypocrisy from a flaming socialist, naturally

New York Socialist Democrat [aka: socialist] Alexandria Nina Pinta Santa Maria Ocasio-Cortez verbally supports Yellow Cabs in the city, but financially supports Uber, Lyft, and Juno, according to her campaign receipts submitted to the Federal Election Commission. She doesn't actually use Yellow taxi cabs, she just pretends she does and cares about the drivers mental health.

The bug-eyed socialist blames the three innovative companies for the hardships faced by Yellow taxi cab drivers, and even blames them for a suicide of one of them. But she doesn't actually support Yellow taxi cab companies by using their service--she only gives lip service.

Between July and the end of September, her campaign spent almost $4,500 on rides with Uber, Lyft and Juno. The campaign spent zilch point nada on Yellow cabs. She evidently has no shame because she has no humility, and the recent figures show that she isn't ashamed of using the services she criticizes for exploitation [aka: providing people jobs they otherwise might not have] and triggering major depression. [She probably got a "B" in Psych 101.]

Ocasio-Cortez regularly attacks the ride-hailing apps because they underpay its drivers, she claims, and calls their pay "exploitation." If they don't get a minimum of $15 an hour, they aren't getting a living wage.

Except the drivers know the deal and accept it--many drive for Uber et al, as a second job.

Ocasio-Cortez blamed Uber for the suicide of Doug Schifter, a Yellow taxi cab driver who killed himself with a shotgun. He had financial difficulties because the other companies offered New York with alternative and cheaper options that taxis do.

"NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum," the socialist tweeted, clearly hating innovation and progress and blaming the suicide of those who obviously had mental issues.

But the hypocrite Ocasio-Cortez spent nearly $4,000 on Uber and $2,500 on Juno between April and late June when she beat Joe Crowley in the New York Democratic primary.

When her campaign realized it was outed, it cut excessive spending on Uber trips, spending only $500 in the last quarter, but the cut was offset by Lyft expenses in which the campaign spent $2,700 on rides with the company.

And her campaign kept using Juno, spending almost $1,200 for 50 rides.

So Ocasio-Cortez is no better than any other socialist. She talks out of the side of her mouth and uses your money like a drunken sailor on Cinderella Liberty.

'Unite the Right' may have to walk and go hungry at rally on Sunday

The "alt-right" is the same as the far left and Antifa. They are filled with hate and have a combined IQ of a retarded worm. "Unite the Right" is one of those rallies in which groups of white supremacists plan to go to Washington D.C. on Sunday and probably get involved with busting Antifa heads and vice versa.

More than two-dozen hate-crime charges were filed against the suspect in the Charlottesville car attack that killed counter-protester Heather Heyer.

White supremacists and white nationalists will be in D.C. for the second "Unite the Right" rally, but they may have to walk and bring along their own food because Uber and Lyft may refuse them rides if they are harassed or threatened, and local D.C. restaurants may refuse them service.

In preparation for the event near the White House, Uber and Lyft told their drivers that they have the right to kick a passenger out of their car if problems exist with their behavior.

One would think this would go without saying.

Also, the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington sent a toolkit to restaurateurs regarding their legal rights to refuse service to white nationalists and other political fringe groups [aka Antifa, democratic socialists], The Washingtonian reported.

Twitter also suspended many accounts associated with the Proud Boys, a group of right wing chauvinists on Friday on the eve of the anniversary of the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, according to The Guardian.

Airbnb had previously threatened to ban hosts who participate in the rally, Fox News reported.

"When we identify and determine that there are those who would be pursuing behavior on the Airbnb platform that would be antithetical to the Airbnb Community Commitment, we seek to take appropriate action, which may include removing them from the platform," the company said in a state to Fox News.

"Unite the Right" scumcrumpet Jason Kessler obtained a permit for Lafayette Park across from the White House. He expects about 400 low IQ  racists to show up.

The first "Unite the Right" rally was held in Charlottesville, Virginia August 12, 2017. It resulted in violent clashes between white supremacists, counter-protesters, and violent Antifa fascists. This was the event in which Heather Heyer was mowed down by a car that went crashing into the crowd to intentionally hurt or kill counter-protesters.

"Regardless of event, drivers are advised to follow all local laws but have the right to refuse service to riders who are disrespectful or who make them feel unsafe," Uber's message read. Lyft had a similar message to its drivers.

The Washingtonian interviewed several restaurant owners who said they will refuse service to those participating in the rally, or they may close altogether.

"Our mentality is we're going to protect each other. This is our city. Our house. Our people," Founding Farmers owner Dan Simons told The Washingtonian.

"There are times when a guest can be rude to an employee and you swap out the server. We've told our team: this isn't what that is. You don't have to be in a room with someone who's advocating for your death and enslavement," Simons added.

Ellen Kassoff Gray, who owns the Equinox restaurant in the area said she would also refuse to serve those who espouse hate.

"I'll proudly stay open and serve those who're respectful and kind. But being a Jewish restaurant owner and have a pro-Nazi group come to town, would I refuse service? Yes, I would," she said.

Their boat sinks along with everything they had except their dog

A couple who semi-planned for a better life put all their life savings and possessions (think apples in a basket)  into a crappy boat and it sank.

Luckily for them, they came away as finalists in the Darwin Awards and didn't actually have to die to make the cut.

The couple, Nikki Walsh, 24, and her main squeeze, Tanner Broadwell, 26, decided last year that they were tired of working, and tell me, what liberal can blame them for not wanting to work?

"How can we live our lives when we're working most of the day and you have to pay so much just to live?" Nikki asked of a reporter at the New York Post. 

How can we not feel sorry for her and Tanner? Why must they work? Life just isn't fair to them.

"Most of the work you do goes to your home. There has to be another option," she added.

They both quit their jobs

So the landlubbers sold all their furniture and their SUV and bought a 49-year-old 28-foot tub of a boat in Alabama to live on and eventually sail around the world and live happily ever after.

The boat was in the marina of Tarpon Springs, a town on Florida's Gulf Coast. They lived on the boat for several months along with their two-year-old pug, Remy, and stocked up on food and provisions.

"We were pretty prepared," Walsh naively believed, as the Darwin Award competitors planned a trip to the Caribbean.

With less than two days into their misadventure, their boat capsized in a channel of water called John's Pass. 

"We thought the channel was where we were going, but it wasn't," Walsh said. She told the reporter that the boat was equipped with a GPS and they also had paper navigation charts.

"We started freaking out because waves were coming, and it was tossing our boat back and forth," Walsh said, apparently not realizing how little she and Tanner understood about the sea.

Tanner was in the stern, holding onto the dog when the proverbial stuff hit the poop deck.

"My hands were shaking; we were terrified," she said.

Before abandoning ship, they grabbed some clothes and important documents, but not insurance papers because they didn't have insurance on the boat as they planned so wisely, eh. But at least they grabbed some chew toys for little Remy.

"I also grabbed Remy's food and just about everything he needed," Walsh said proudly. "He doesn't deserve to go without his favorite toys."

Walsh, who worked as a timeshare sales person, and Broadwell, who drove for Uber, admitted they were "new to sailing."

Duh.

But they still ended up with $90 between them, a cute dog, no jobs, and no boat insurance. 

They're still hopeful, however, for their world-sailing plans and want strangers to pay for it as they've started a GoFundMe. Anyone who believes that this is a worthwhile charity deserves to go sailing with them.

The beggars are seeking $10,000 to rescue the tub, which sunk off the coast of Madeira Beach, Florida. Walsh said raising the boat alone will cost at least $6,700, but I don't believe her--it's always more than they estimate.

The couple is sponging off their family in Jacksonville, Florida, and they can't wait for them to leave and sink another boat or maybe not. They particularly don't like it when Remy glides across their rug on his butt.

"You only have one life. Why spend it doing what you don't love. Money isn't everything!" Walsh told the Post. 

But please go to her GoFundMe site and send money even though it isn't everything.

You disrespect his car, someone's going to get it

Not a normal Uber driver

Murder City -- Police in Birmingham, Ill., a Detroit suburb, say an Uber driver was arrested for stabbing his passenger who allegedly disrespected his crappy car. 

The alleged attack occurred when a couple from Beverly Hills called for an Uber driver after a Christmas party (which is being referred to as a 'holiday party' by the lamestream media).

Someone at the party tapped on the window of the car to let the Uber driver Jacob Matthew Allemon know the couple was getting into his car. This was the beginning of his obvious mentally ill episode.

Allemon, 23, told police he felt the tap on his window was disrespecting his car--it is not known whether the Uber driver had a name for his precious car--and he drove the couple for about a mile and then told them to get out of his car after he pulled into a shopping center.

The couple asked if they could wait in his car for another less schizophrenic Uber driver, or whatever the hell was wrong with him, it led to an exchange and a fight. The 49-year-old rider was stabbed multiple times in the face, chest and back.

The victim was able to disarm the disarmingly crazy Allemon, and restrained him until police arrived and charged him with assault.

The victim was taken to an area hospital, treated and released the next day.

"Uber" is German for "about."

Six Killed in Random Shooting

A lone gunman shot and killed six people as he drove around the Kalamazoo area of Michigan. He apparently targeted people at random in a car dealership, a restaurant and in parking lots of apartment complexes.

The gunman was identified by law enforcement as Jason Dalton, 45. He was arrested without putting up any resistance in downtown Kalamazoo after a massive manhunt tracked him down. 

Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said told the media that four people were killed in front of a Cracker Barrel restaurant and a father and son were killed outside a Kia dealership. One woman was shot outside an apartment complex and is in serious condition.

Matyas believed the shootings were not targeted and thus sees them as "our worst case scenario."

Some facts about Dalton that are just coming out: 

1. He was an Uber driver and was taking people to their destinations between shootings, police say.
2. He has no criminal record that police are aware of, nor a known history of mental illness.
3. His Facebook page has been inactive since 2009, but according to the information in it, he was married and has at least two children.
4. It lists Progressive Insurance as his employer.
5. His FB page lists Comstock H.S. in Kalamazoo as his high school.
6. Police stopped him at a bar parking lot in Kalamazoo. He gave up with no confrontation.

Democrats throughout the country are expected to call for stricter gun control regulations and other useless measures to prevent evil people from doing evil deeds. They will probably have a bone to pick with Uber as well, as it is not unionized and sends them no money.

They also plan to elect either a socialist or a felon as president.
