Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez to introduce measure to declare climate change an official emergency: report
By Marina Pitofsky - 07/08/19 08:59 PM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are set to introduce on Tuesday a joint resolution with Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), declaring climate change an official emergency, The Guardian reported on Monday

The resolution reportedly reads, “The global warming caused by human activities, which increase emissions of greenhouse gases, has resulted in a climate emergency” that “severely and urgently impacts the economic and social well-being, health and safety, and national security of the United States." 

It also “demands a national, social, industrial, and economic mobilization of the resources and labor of the United States at a massive-scale.”

These people are becoming gifts that keep on giving
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Hey!  How are you?  Haven't seen you for awhile.  I know you have probably been fishing.


Anyway they are going to keep on giving unless Trump and those weenie Republicans don't do something about it.  You would have thought that they would have figured out that they are making this stuff up as they go.  Doesn't matter what it is they have a plan.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

By most scientific accounts, the climate has been changing for 4.6 billion years.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is a resolution, right?  How much effect will it really have? 

I'm just thinking these two clowns, like the rest of their colleagues, are just making resolutions and passing bills that won't go anywhere just to make it look like they are doing something.  For Sanders, I guess this will be a boost to his presidential campaign.  His brain dead followers will eat this up.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Anything tied to Al Gore and Barack Obama is a scam of grand proportions.  Climate change is a hoax, and they are still pedaling the nonsense.  God forbid if these nutjobs ever get power again.
