Wowee wow. I'll say one thing, the Far Left Commie Party sure has some testicular fortitude....particularly for a bunch of feminists. (Although I'm not familiar with how each one "identifies").

But enough (bad) identity politics humor. And on with the Show!

In this episode, we nuke the US economy into oblivion - all to please Greta Thunberg and her puppeteer Klaus.

HOUSE PROGRESSIVES ARE PLANNING TO CALL ON BIDEN TO DECLARE CLIMATE CHANGE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND TO BAN FOSSIL FUEL DRILLING ON PUBLIC LANDS – POLITICO ARTICLE https://t.co/4Q3sDBwB7U
— Breaking News | FinancialJuice (@Financialjuice1) March 15, 2022


The push for the sweeping use of the executive powers expected from the group of nearly 100 lawmakers on Thursday will also touch issues such as studentloan debt, voting rights and immigration.


Clearly, Democrats do not care about the poor and working-class at all, to the point where they’d impoverish millions of them (and probably kill some as well, given how dangerous a lack of affordable energy can be).


To ban all oil drilling on public lands would not only dramatically raise the cost of attainable energy, but it would also lead to dirtier drilling in other parts of the world, controlled by tyrants like Vladimir Putin and the Iranian Mullahs. What exactly would that do for the “climate”? Is the argument that drilling in the United States is somehow worse than in Saudi Arabia?

In normal times I would just write this off as political bloviating and ignore the "fringe".


But as we've witnessed over the last couple of years, said "fringe" now controls the Democrat Party - and Biden is such an empty suit who knows what the hell he'll do?


I hate to say it, but I would give like a 1 in 4 chance of this actually happening!

But maybe they'll get student loan "forgiveness"?

The anti American energy crowd is nothing but a bunch of NIMBY's. They want to save the environment yet they are ok with the oil being tapped in other parts of the world and shipped on tankers across the ocean that pollute the water and run over whales. Does the climate really care where the oil is drilled and used? These are the same type of people that don't have a problem with mowing down a forest to put up solar panels and windmills.



Energy effects us all everyday. We need it to live yet the Dems are poised to ban the best reliable source that we have in favor of technology that is not there yet. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. These people are foolish because they fail to see the big picture.
Banning fossil fuels is dumb.
Forgiving student loan debt is nothing but pandering to their people.

Voting Rights is basic but the Dems are seeking to keep the loopholes open to make fraud possible.

There is nothing wrong with Immigration. The problem is millions of people are not following the existing laws and the Democrats are letting them get away with it.


Biden is an empty suit.

Biden already put a "pause" on oil leases last year.
So now it's "shut down existing wells".

Biden did campaign on getting Americans off oil.
Going to be a very painful ride seeing we have no alternative.

When the economy takes a nosedive, many people will end up depending on the government. That's what Democrats want.

Can someone tell AOC how many Hispanics work in the oil and gas industry? Maybe she’ll back off if she knows it’s driving a lot of Hispanics in South Texas to vote red.

Ok what are the alternatives ? Bikes, feet ?

We need oil to produce electricity so with no oil there is no electricity.

The House Progressive Caucus has 6 members and AOC is not among them.

https://progressives.house.gov/

They hardly represent the party.
