    In the fairy tale, Pinnochio was not a real boy, but a wooden puppet. It is a difficult thing to know right from wrong when one is a block head, and Pinocchio misbehaved. It is difficult to have a sense of self when you are made of wood - and more than anything the marionette-boy wanted a sense of self. That is why he fell so easily to being victimized by Fox and Cat.

    Although Cat clearly suffers from tardive dyskinesia, Pinocchio never questioned her fintness for leadership.

    Fox and Cat sell Pinnochio on the idea of going to an island where there is no such thing as right or wrong, up or down, smart or stupid. All concepts are equal, and he will be free to do as he pleases. In the end, complete equality will be reached.



    This is for those many posters who have blithely replaced policy with feelings.I applaud AOC for at least writing a policy, much as I disagree with the foundation of it. She is the only one from the Left who has bothered to define some kind of vision that actually moves society in a direction.
    If you were to write policy tomorrow, what would be the components?
    Or, if you want to answer something more simple, what exactly is complete equality? What does that look like?

    Tardive dyskinesia is a side effect of anti-psychotic drugs - usually prescribed to people living with schizophrenia or chronic depression. One of the side-affects is referred to as bon bon mouth movements. It looks like this:

    How do you feel mental illness could affect judgement - especially in a political leader?

    On the Left - have all the adults left the room?

    Congratulations to AOC for developing her thoughts into a policy - the New Green Deal -- and having the courage to put it on paper for all to read. Whether anyone agrees or disagrees, her New Green Deal is a giant leap ahead of the rest of her party, who are still competing for the loudest armpit farts.

    I apologize for posing questions to the left that are clearly beyond their scope to answer.

    Damn, EVERYTIME I see this photo I think we're going into a Laxative or Preparation H commercial.

    I would think that Trump's cabinet would be a much more appropriate example of "puppets on a string". As for his minions, "The Emperor's New Clothes" keeps coming to mind.


    Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological condition affecting Parkinson's patients and those taking antipsychotic medication, relating to lack of dopamine production. I consider it apathetic and extremely inappropriate that you look upon this symptom with contempt.

    So when you say worn-out things like "puppets on a string" and combine it with the moniker, "Think It Out" - are you really taking your own advise? In your response you are conflating a pharmaceutical side-effect with a neurological disease. Are you saying Fancy Nancy has Parkinson's disease? What makes you come to that conclusion?

    I look upon her uncontrollable mouth movements as a clear symptom of use of pharmaceuticals used to treat mental illness of some sort or another. I think it is more prevalent in politicians than you will want to admit, as I observe the wild pop-eyes of the likes of Schiff and AOC combined with random illogical behavior. Its a historical fact that John and Jackie Kennedy were regularly shot-up with various drugs throughout their White House years. As you think it out, ask yourself how much has changed.
