      XPost: alt.politics.republicans, alt.politics.democrats, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: leroysoetoro@americans-first.com              Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trumpeted on social media how she       successfully pushed to have dozens of new trash cans placed on Roosevelt       Avenue in Queens.              Problem is, she ignored the real trash.              She was immediately mocked for ignoring the parade of johns, pimps and       prostitutes flooding the avenue’s infamous “Market of Sweethearts.”              “Celebrating garbage cans is like putting sprinkles on s–t and calling it       a birthday cake,” lambasted Elmhurst’s Ramses Frias, who’s running as a       Republican candidate for City Council in Queens’ 25th District. “It’s all       for show.”              “Of course, AOC won’t speak about what’s really happening here so she can       keep up the facade that her district is amazing and a paradise.”              AOC, a Democrat and founding member of the socialist “Squad,” took to       social media to declare her war on trash earlier this month.              “After meeting with local vendors and business owners, my office reached       out to the New York City Department of Sanitation about the need for more       trash cans along Roosevelt Ave,” she wrote on Aug. 8.              “Thanks to their quick response, 51 trash cans were installed! Grateful       for their partnership in keeping our community clean!”              “That’s all you’re worried about on Roosevelt Ave?” slammed John Lomonaco       on Facebook.              Queens residents, merchants and civic leaders have repeatedly blasted AOC       for being missing in action in the fight to clean up the red-light       district.              Locals along the Roosevelt Avenue corridor have begged for help with the       plagues of prostitution and illegal street vendors — fueled in part by       gangs who got a foothold in the area due to the city’s migrant crisis.              They even recently urged the FBI to look into the Market of Sweethearts’       alleged links to organized crime.              “I have not personally seen Ocasio-Cortez since she’s been elected. I have       not seen her in the community,” Rosa Sanchez, president of the Restore       Roosevelt Avenue Coalition, said earlier this summer. “I have seen her in       a parade — that’s it.”              AOC has in the past defended prostitution as honest work and advocated for       decriminalization.              Meanwhile, the city Sanitation Department told The Post it replaced 48       missing trash baskets – not 51 – along Roosevelt Avenue between 82nd       Street and 111th Street, as part of routine replacement it does across the       city as needed.              “Unfortunately, corner litter baskets go missing – or sustain damage or       excessive wear-and-tear – from time to time,” a spokesperson said.              Residents have already slammed the “superfluous trash bins.”              “Real talk, we need more Sanmen, or more overtime for the ones we do       have,” ripped John Mcgarry on Facebook in a Jackson Heights residents’       group, while sharing photos of the overflowing trash bins this month.              AOC’s office defended the Congresswoman’s track record on the issue,       insisting business owners “directly asked her for help in getting more       trash cans because sanitation has been a very big concern for them” during       a roundtable discussion she hosted earlier this summer – and that she       requested $500,000 in federal funding for nonprofits helping victims of       sexual violence.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.              Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama       / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
