Oh, THAT Green New Deal!

Jeff Stein and Journolister David Weigel of the WaPo deliver a hard-hitting apologia for the botched roll-out of the New Green Deal and the accompanying FAQs from Team AOC. All that's missing is "Republican's pounced!" [Thanks to the NY Times, its no longer missing.]

Real journalists might have explored the ideological divergences on the left that led to obvious compromises on topics such as nuclear power and carbon capture (presumably views on farting cows are widely shared). Maybe even get quotes frim lefties ranging from moderate to Fully Delusional on those issues. Or don't bother. Better to pretend the Dems are on the same page.

Jordan Weissmann of Slate took the exploratory route with interesting results:

And a careful read [of the actual resolution] revealed that, for all its ambition, the resolution actually represented a compromise of sorts between the new wave of socialism-embracing enviro-warriors, represented by Ocasio-Cortez, and establishment climate hawks like Markey, who co-authored a cap-and-trade bill that passed the House but died in the Senate during 2010. Far-left environmental groups such as the Sunrise Movement, which staged sit-ins in Spaker Nancy Pelosi’s office over the Green New Deal, have threatened to oppose climate legislation that relies on nuclear power, carbon-capture technology, or “market-based mechanisms” to limit carbon, such as cap-and-trade or a carbon tax. This absolutist stance has startled and frightened some more-moderate climate activists and scientists, who believe that power sources like nuclear will be necessary to prevent the planet from frying and are worried that the left might be stumbling into an environmental agenda that will inadvertently doom us by rejecting necessary tools. It’s OK, in their view, to be overly ambitious about taming capitalism; it is not OK to rule out technologies we might need to save ourselves.

The Green New Deal resolution avoided these messy fights simply by staying mum on them. Instead of saying yes or no on nuclear, for instance, it set out the goal of “Meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources.” The words carbon tax aren’t in the resolution, which means the idea isn’t being ruled out. The compromise worked. Even if every Democrat wasn’t quite on board, the resolution netted 60 house members and nine Senators, including a bunch of 2020 hopefuls, as co-sponsors.

But then there was the unofficial version...

Ahh, well.

Early in the day, Ocasio-Cortez’s office sent out a FAQ to reporters that read a bit like the Green New Deal Uncensored—as if the resolution had gotten drunk at an office party decided to tell its co-workers exactly what it thought of them. Nuclear? On its way out. “It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible.” Carbon capture tech? Not a priority. “We believe the right way to capture carbon is to plant trees and restore our natural ecosystems. CCUS technology to date has not proven effective.” The document even seemed to set its sights on air travel and beef. “We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” To top everything off, the FAQ suggested Washington could pay for the plan essentially by printing money, thereby going full Modern Monetary Theory.

So why muddy the resolution by releasing this? Two ideas:

One obvious read is that the FAQ simply represents Ocasio-Cortez’s unfiltered views, and she will continue a push a version of climate policy along the lines it lays out.

Or, the Keep Hope Alive scenario:

Another way to look at the situation, though, is that the FAQ is essentially just a list of points that Ocasio-Cortez and her office lost on while negotiating the resolution with Markey. Most of the things that raised an uproar on Twitter—like wiping out America’s flatulent steer population—were not included in the resolution, after all. If you keep that in mind, the side-documents look more like an attempt to save face with left-wing activists, a promise that Ocasio-Cortez will keep fighting for their priorities even if the vast majority of Democrats won’t ever embrace them. As Markey suggested, the resolution is canon; the FAQs are fanfic.

The folks worried that democracy dies in darkness won't be shedding light on this.

WHITE HOUSE CONDEMNS ATTACKS ON PRESS AT TRUMP RALLY

“President Trump condemns all acts of violence against any individual or group of people – including members of the press. We ask that anyone attending an event do so in a peaceful and respectful manner,” Sanders said.

The attacker is shown screaming “f**k the media” before he was ushered away by security personnel. A campaign worker suggested to BBC News after the incident that the attacker was intoxicated.

Re Kamala and the jail snitch case, it is a real stinkeroo. That she didn't intervene is criminal. I know some of those involved and unfortunately our Sheriff's Department is in it up to their eyeballs.

They have been refusing to turn over records for years and may well have destroyed much of the evidence. It was just released last week or so that they were listening in to attorney-client phone calls from the jail as well. You just cannot do that shit. It caused an old friend of mine, a Superior Ct judge, to throw out the death penalty in the Scott DeKraii case.

Now think about this; DeKraii killed 6 people, confessed and that just wasn't good enough for the jailers. They put a known liar in as their snitch, and now this has affected 20-30 other cases minimum. The wiretapping is going to really up the ante.

Our former DA is a douche I never liked. Our former Sheriff was a LA glasswork ceiling appointment who never did much and, it seems to me, let the jailers do what they pleased. Now she and her hubby are double dipping on their pensions to the tune of well over $1 million/year.

The new DA is a whacko, but may be straight. Stay tuned. It ain't over.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS LEFT IN DARK OVER GOVERNMENT FUNDING DEAL DETAILS

WASHINGTON — Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby announced Monday night that congressional negotiators reached an agreement to fund the border wall, thereby avoiding another government shutdown on Friday, but House Republican leadership had not seen details of the agreement when Shelby made his pronouncement.

Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Graves, a member of the bipartisan Conference Committee who has been negotiating the deal since the government re-opened nearly three weeks ago, tweeted Tuesday morning, “I haven’t signed off on the reported ‘deal,’ nor have I seen it. Based on the reports, I have concerns. Lots of questions, too.”

When The Daily Caller asked House Minority Whip Steve Scalise about Graves comment he replied, “He hasn’t he hasn’t seen the details I haven’t seen the details. I don’t think Leader McCarthy has seen the details.”

He added, “Clearly, the details matter and I’m waiting to see those and I want to speak to the president later today as we’ll see where he is once he sees all the details.”

My guess for why House Republicans were left out of budget negotiations is because they have no leverage on whether a compromise budget bill is passed or not. Since the Democrats control the House, as long as Pelosi agrees to it then it will get passed.

Cheney Questions Climate Change Panelists on Green New Deal, Wonders if They Support ‘Vacation Commissar’

Cheney wondered how the government would regulate who could travel, and on what grounds flights would be approved. Chandra Farley, the Just Energy Director at the Partnership for Southern Equity in Atlanta, Georgia, offered that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would make those decisions.

Cheney questioned whether the government would still allow Americans to fly for vacation, or whether California's representatives would have to bicycle to and from Washington, D.C. In the style of a Soviet government, perhaps there would be a "vacation commissar set up in the government" to make those decisions, she offered.

She further wondered how the panelists, who hailed from West Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, and Louisiana, were living out the vision of a world without flights. She asked the panelists to first answer "how exactly they arrived in Washington, D.C." for the hearing.

Multiple panelists confirmed they traveled by air. Cheney later asked whether any of the witnesses supported the Green New Deal.

"So let me ask you then," Cheney asked, "are there any other witnesses on the panel who do support the Green New Deal?"

Following a few moments of silence, some jumped in to express qualified support, or deferred, denying expertise on the specific legislation.

GOP/Dem Deal Keeps Catch and Release for Thousands of Illegal Aliens

A Republican-Democrat border deal keeps current rates of Catch and Release of illegal aliens, border crossers, and adults who have trafficked children across the U.S.-Mexico border at around the same level as this previous year.

As Breitbart News reported, the Republican and Democrat lawmakers’ deal includes about $1.3 billion in border wall funding — a fraction of the $5.7 billion that President Trump had requested — that can only be used in certain areas of the southern border and must be the bollard fencing that the Bush and Obama administrations previously deployed. The funding will add 55 miles of new barriers at the border.

Additionally, the deal keeps the amount of detention space that federal immigration officials need to detain illegal aliens and border crossers at about current levels. As of today, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is only funded for about 40,250 beds in detention centers.
