New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey are the main members of Congress behind the “Green New Deal” sham proposal (that’s an absolute embarrassment by the way), and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pledged to move it forward:

Hey, look at that! The Dems’ emergency proposal that they say would save the planet from a fiery demise will get a vote. Progressive climate change alarmists like Sen. Markey must be thrilled, right? Well, no:
Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning. https://t.co/GUxJ5HG2jb

Give McConnell at least a hundred “called your bluff” points. The Dems don’t want this steaming pile of multi-trillion dollar socialism brought to a vote because they don’t want to be on record.
Hey Doug
swede from MM. Long time. Just thinking about you and checking your place out. Miss your rants and rambles when you were somebody at MM – and its kind of weird how well you get to know folks so long on a blog and kind of miss them. Per the “Green New Deal” – a few brain flatulations:
1) As Lloyd Benson would have quipped – “I knew of Prez Roosevelt, and Congresschick Cortez, you’re no FDR!”
2) It strikes me that Ms AOC has a Boston College degree yet is dumb as a box of boulders. This will be the norm of course when College is free for all. Educated indoctrinated idiots with big opinions.
3. That said, I hope AOC continues her progressive propaganda parade. The indies who’ll decide the election are hearing the best case for conservative ideology I have ever heard!
Hope all is well. swede out.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by.
Don’t get a chance to post here as much as I’d like sometimes. It’s on and off.
There have been a couple MM commenters who have stopped by here in the last few months. I kind of miss it but it was out of my control.
Green New Deal? Dems love it so much they’ll do everything they can to keep it from being brought to a vote in the Senate.
