I think I’ll just report you and block you. Bye.
Maybe that’s where you should be. Personally, I don’t like misinformation but since you do I’m guessing your values would align nicely with c/conservative.
Why? There’s plenty of actual fascism going on that misinformation and fear mongering about this specific situation isn’t needed.
If only we could determine when the OCE refferred the case to the House Ethics Committee…
On June 23, 2022, the Office of Congressional Ethics transmitted a referral to the Committee on Ethics of the United States House of Representatives regarding Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
That’s about what I thought.
Anything, beyond your supposition, to support something different in this specific instance?
It’s probably rented out for events like air shows, maybe film and tv use too.
Odd non sequitur but, yes, he very likely does.
In case you’re confused though, that is also not fascism, it’s paedophilia.
Did you read the entire article?
The committee called on Ocasio-Cortez to “make additional payments of personal funds to compensate for the fair market value of certain expenses.”
A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez said that the congresswoman intends to “remedy the remaining amounts.”
“The Congresswoman appreciates the Committee finding that she made efforts to ensure her compliance with House Rules and sought to act consistently with her ethical requirements as a Member of the House. She accepts the ruling and will remedy the remaining amounts, as she’s done at each step in this process,” her chief of staff Mike Casca said in a statement provided to CNN.
The House Ethics Committee is bipartisan and reviews matters referred to it by the Office of Congressional Ethics.
The Office of Congressional Ethics is “a nonpartisan, independent entity charged with reviewing allegations of misconduct against members of the House of Representatives and their staff and, when appropriate, referring matters to the United States House Committee on Ethics.
It’s also worth noting that “the OCE was created by House Resolution 895 of the 110th United States Congress in March 2008, 191 in the wake of across-the-board Democratic victories in the 2006 elections. It was created under the leadership of then-Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi as part of her effort to clean up what she called the "culture of corruption" in official Washington, which had garnered so much attention in the preceding congressional sessions.”
This specific incidence is less “fascism” and more “checks and balances working as intended”.
10 episodes per year for 5 years. It’s part of their $1.5B Paramount deal.
Yep. They paid 1.5 billion for the privilege.
she doesn't understand why I am not "accommodating to her demands."
This, in my opinion, is key. It seems like she thinks she has a right to “demand” you take on the role of caregiver. She expects you to consider her needs without her considering yours.
My .02¢, now’s a great time to establish boundaries. It’s not unreasonable to explain that she can ask, not demand.

Does Germany have a post-war law that makes this a crime? I thought the had a lot of anti-Nazi laws on the books.
Edit: Turns out it is. Under Section 86a of the German Criminal Code (StGB), it “prohibits the distribution and public use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations and those similar to them. This includes symbols of parties or organizations banned in Germany, especially those associated with National Socialism, as well as their propaganda materials. Violations can lead to imprisonment or fines.”
