Cocaine Mitch brings the crowd to its feet with his plan to bring the Ocasio-Cortez/Markey Green New Deal resolution to the Senate for a floor vote. How far out is that "plan"? The NY Times today presents an "ambitious" plan to achieve half as much in three times as long. Whoa, that is quite a gap between AOC and her cheerleaders - next time they might want to agree to appear in the same stadium.
Meanwhile, Sen. Markey cries foul!
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) of trying to “sabotage” and “silence” voters by bringing the Green New Deal, which was also proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), to the Senate floor to vote on.
Uh huh. Voting on the bill is "sabotage". And if Trump were to sign it Pelosi would probably view it as an impeachable offense (mental incapacity?!?). What's Markey's message, "Stop me before I speak again"?
Now, let me have a To Be Fair moment: Markey might have envisioned committee hearings, expert testimony, and a chance to build public support for his pandering left-wing dreamscape. After which the bill would die in committee, where only a few sacrificial lambs from the Democratic side would have to stand and be slaughtered counted. But, ooops - now they will all have a chance at Auto-beclownment.
So, a possible dodge - Markey and the Dem Senate leadership could pull a page from the Mitch-Fu playbook and filibuster their own bill. Would that be even more embarrassing? Do these guys (and gals!) even know what embarrassment is anymore?
WHEN YOU'VE LOST THE TIMES: To give a sense of the uphill battle Markey and AOC face on this, let's segue to the NY Times, which has an interactive display outlining seven "ambitious" plans that could, together, cut US greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050. (50 by 50? That could soundbite! I'd give it a 50/50 chance... Now ask me about "Fifty-four Forty or fight"!)
First of all, 2050? The "goal" in the Markey/Ocasio-Cortez fantasy seems to be for the US to be net-zero at the end of their ten year plan, so maybe 2030 (my emphasis):
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
1. it is the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal—
A. to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a fair and just transition for all communities and workers;
...
2. the goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (1) (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal goals’’) should be accomplished through a 10-year national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal mobilization’’) that will require the following goals and projects—
A. building resiliency against climate change-related disasters, such as extreme weather, including by leveraging funding and providing investments for community-defined projects and strategies;
B. repairing and upgrading the infrastructure in the United States, including— by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions as much as technologically feasible; by guaranteeing universal access to clean water; by reducing the risks posed by flooding and other climate impacts; and by ensuring that any infrastructure bill considered by Congress addresses climate change;
C. meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, including—
The first two steps of the NY Times plans include a carbon tax and a push for zero emissions power including nuclear. Carbon taxes are poo-poohed in the AOC FAQ. Nuclear is ducked in the resolution but is treated like a cow (a flatulent cow, not a sacred one) in the FAQs - kill 'em!
Make every Dem go on the record supporting this joke of a bill.

Someone described Brent Bozell as a NeverTrumper. I don't think that's true. He was very anti-Trump before the nomination, but once Trump got that, as far as I'm aware he's been a Trump defender. His writing seems closer to Kim Strassel's than to any NeverTrumper. Lots of reasonable people (as we can see here) can disagree about this deal.

Ok, question about illegals and catch-and-release: could Trump find a way to take away an H1B visa for every illegal who is “paroled” and released, and only if the parolee shows up for their immigration hearing does the visa get released?
It would sure give the Chamber of Commerce types some pause...
Part of the problem with the propaganda is that they have successfully tarred Trump as being against all immigration, not just illegal. If he were to say “ok Congress has allowed X number of immigrants. So we will have X number total and every illegal takes a spot away from a law-abiding legal immigrant. If you are in favor of illegal immigration then you are against legal immigration.”

President Trump outlined what he and we stand for at the rally in El Paso.
I was s reluctant Trump supporter.
I now back him 100 percent.
He will be re-elected because the American people are smart enough to know who will protect us and keep us safe.
It was the main reason George W. Bush was re-elected.
I don’t think he will get all 3 of the states that put him over because there is an all out push in Wisconsin to defeat him.
He will win Florida because the have cracked down on the cheating there.
He might even get Colorado

So, it has gone from 86F yesterday to 58F today. Almost whip-lash differernce.
I know Trump promised a wall in his campaign but now I think he is using the Dem's refusal to actual fund a wall, and other immigration ruses, to make them the campaign issue for 2020, while he finds the money elsewhere and builds it. Of course, it all has to survive the 9th circuit Hawaiian Judge gambit. And I don't think our Solicitor General will be able to convince Roberts to act on any appeal what with his public tete-a-tete with Trump.
Like with knucle-headed Cuomo on Infantacide, the Dems never realize it is too late to find a ladder to climb out of the hole they dug.

Trump could have gotten rid of Sessions for 2 years and chose not to. Why? It's not like he didn't fire anyone else during that time.
Because there would have been a grueling confirmation battle, assuming Grassley would have scheduled one and I've read that he pledged not to do so. Trump complained about Sessions recusal frequently; Tom claimed it was misdirection but I think the history speaks for itself.
Perhaps the 4D explanation is that Sessions passed asset forfeiture to ultimately use against the swamp; maybe that might happen but thus far it's just a crummy policy waiting to be misused against innocent people.

Posted by: Comanche Voter | February 13, 2019 at 03:41 PM
Thanks, guys. Never heard of it.
Thanks to daddy, I now know there's a difference between copse, chase, and spinnies.
Copse: A copse is a thicket of bushes or a small stand of trees. A copse of trees can provide a good hiding place during a game of hide-and-seek.
If you go to your local garden shop and ask about how to take care of your copse, you may get some blank stares, as it's not a word you'll find much in everyday use. The word first appeared in the late-sixteenth century, as a shortened form of coppice, a word still used in British English, referring to an area with trees or shrubs that are periodically cut back to the ground so that they grow back thicker.
Chase: a tract of unenclosed land used as a game preserve
Spinnies:
Spinny \Spin"ny\, n.; pl. Spinnies. [OF. espinaye,espinoye, espinei, espanoi, F. ['e]pinaie, from L. spinetum a thicket of thorns, fr. spina a thorn. See Spine.] A small thicket or grove with undergrowth; a clump of trees.
The downs rise steep, crowned with black fir spinnies.
--C. Kingsley.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Omar is a gift that will be paying dividends for at least the next two years and probably many more. She will have great difficulty with Jewish witnesses on whatever committees she serves, so the Admin should try to make sure they send as many as possible.

Tom R, I admit I hadn't seen the character Roseanne was referring to. But yeah, now that I have, it's not hard at all to see the resemblance.
I hope Roseanne gets the last laugh.

Are the Obamas staying in Washington until their second daughter graduates from high school? Is she graduating in the spring? So,they can pack up and head to greener celebrity pastures?
