AOC continues to show a striking unfamiliarity with the Constitution in declaring "I still believe, first of all, that we should start to implement [the 14th Amendment] anyway because we should eliminate the debt limit in the United States."...foxbusiness.com/politics/aoc-c…
AOC previously questioned the need for a Supreme Court: “How much does the current structure benefit us? And I don’t think it does.” jonathanturley.org/2022/06/29/cri…...

...Just in case any reporters simply find the 300 page report daunting, here are a few take aways. (1) There was never a foundation for the launching of the Russian collusion investigation that occupied most of the Trump presidency...
(2) Salacious reports like the Moscow hotel tape appear to be entirely invented by the Steele team funded by the Clinton campaign...
The Durham report sheds light on the false claims involving the "pee-tape" which it describes as a "salacious sexual activity." They found no basis for the claim that was widely reported in the media. Indeed, the key sources contradicted themselves...
...However, the Clinton-funded team seemed eager to include the allegation: "Danchenko flew from Moscow ot London and met with Christopher Steele on the following day. Three days later, in Steele Report... [the] allegation appeared that described salacious sexual activity."
