For the record, I own an insurance agency and we love taking business away from GEICO. So, this is hardly an endorsement of GEICO Insurance. But they do have some great commercials. One of my favorites is where this group of young people are running in terror from a haunted house. One of the girls suggests they jump a running car and drive away, but the rest of the group says NO! Let\u2019s hide in the garage behind all the hanging chain saws.\u00a0 Here is a link to a YouTube version of that commercial:<\/p>\n

geico commercial chainsaws – – Video Search Results (yahoo.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

It is one thing to be incredibly stupid during a commercial obviously designed as a joke. It is something else when an equally stupid decision is made by a member of Congress during a real crisis. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez revealed that during the Capitol riots, she did not go a secure location where members of congress were locked down, guarded by Capitol police, because she though the \u201cWhite Supremacist<\/strong>\u201d sympathizing reps in congress might have revealed her location so she could be killed or kidnapped.<\/p>\n

In her interview with Rachel Maddow, who incredibly either believed this nonsense or showed incredible skill at not laughing out loud, AOC, said she literally did not know if she would make it to the end of the day. During this time of crisis, she chose to shelter in place in the equivalent of the garage with the hanging chainsaws. She said that sheltering in an \u201cinsecure location<\/strong>\u201d during the riot at the U.S. Capitol, \u201cseemed like a safer bet<\/strong>\u201d than sheltering in the \u201csecure location<\/strong>\u201d with other members of congress who sympathize with \u201cwhite supremacists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why did she feel this way? \u201cT<\/strong>h<\/strong><\/em>ey\u2019ve made public comments that are closely aligned with the beliefs of white supremacists and white supremacist sympathizer organizations, and these are all public record.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> She did not actually name any members of congress and did not actually provide any quotes. Rachel Maddow wondered if this was based on the fact that some members have previously shared\u00a0QAnon<\/strong> content on social media.<\/p>\n

Oh my. This is not just delusional; this is downright stupid. I frankly don\u2019t know much about QAnon<\/strong> other than the fact that the bare-chested idiot carrying the spear and wearing horns is apparently associated with QAnon<\/strong>. He is a lot of things, but a threat to assassinate everyone in congress is more than a reach.<\/p>\n

Sharing an article, that looks interesting, is hardly the same as supporting White Supremacy. In addition, I suspect the remarks about Muslim-Americans in congress was probably aimed at Ilhan Omar, who has a lot more problems than just being a Muslim-American, such as praising ISIS.<\/p>\n

AOC deliberately avoided a place designed to be safe because of alleged white supremacy views held by Republican members of congress, not supported by any facts. Incredibly, Maddow then said AOC had a point because of tweets by Lauren Boebert. She accused Boebert of telling rioters where to find Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n

Here what Boebert tweeted. Before the riot started, she tweeted: \u201cToday is 1776<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d This was interpreted as coordinating with the rioters. Then she tweeted\u201d We were locked in the House Chambers<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d Then later: \u201cThe Speaker has been removed from the chambers.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>It was admittedly dumb for Boebert to be tweeting while this was going on, but hardly evidence of treason.<\/p>\n

This makes the kids in the GEICO commercial\u00a0 look brilliant in comparison. The problem is that AOC is a member of congress and there are lot of other Democratic members of congress who appear to use the same reasoning. When you see this in a commercial, it is humorous. When you see this type of logic used by members of congress to justify impeaching a President of the United States, it is dangerously delusional.<\/p>\n

Once again, I remind people that this is typical of how a lot of Democrats make decisions. It is indeed scary. It is hard to imagine people this delusional making good decisions about anything. The good news is that they are destined to muck things up so fast that the clock is already ticking on the length of time they will be in power.<\/p>\n

But at least they will be secure, in a safe hiding place, protected by hanging chainsaws conveniently provided by a maniacal serial killer. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n
