Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), speaking literally about a common expression on hard work, said it was “physically impossible” for people to pull themselves up by their own “bootstraps” or “shoelaces.” Quoting: ~kpm~ “This idea of a bootstrap,” started AOC. “You know this idea, this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as a joke.” “Because, it’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces,” she continued. “It’s physically impossible!” The fuck is a boot strap? Look it the fuck up. Warning: JustSomeGuy_42 is a publicly confessed unvaxxed neophiliac . If the number 666 is considered evil. then technically, 25.8069758 is the root of all evil. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78245785 She is not caucasion. She claims being colored too often. Not to say there are not dumb whites but we don't own this one. Whites are not really Caucasian. Nor are Hispanics, like the ones on the FBI most wanted, white. |

A desire to remain outside of the media game show is necessary if one wishes to retain independence of thoughts and actions. |

A bootstrap is the program that initializes the operating system (OS) during startup. The term bootstrap or bootstrapping originated in the early 1950s. It referred to a bootstrap load button that was used to initiate a hardwired bootstrap program, or smaller program that executed a larger program such as the OS. |

So yeah, she's factually correct. You cannot do that. I'd like to have someone on live TV to actually start levitating. Unless you can provide footage we're still on planet Earth where the laws of physics hold whatever your orange god might say. |
