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.
Absolutely spot on. And don't forget the EV owners that smugly look down their noses at others while claiming they are doing their part to save the environment. Conveniently ignoring the amount of pollution mining, refining, and transporting the raw materials does.

Your post reminds me of a picture I saw the other day. It was of Arnold Schwarzenegger taking a picture with Greta and allegedly supporting her financially (whatever that means). Then another picture of him driving an old school gas guzzling Hummer.

Build Back Better stalled so they have to go the 'emergency' route to bypass the Constitution, congress, liability, accountability...

Anything to keep gas prices artificially too expensive because automakers have agreed to go all electric in 10-15 years? Looks like it. For automakers to go all electric they wanted assurance they'd have consumers rejecting ICE. And, the consumer can't have a choice between ICE or electric.

It's all the BBB plan. The passing of the infrastructure bill will help pay for charging stations and upgrade the power grid. With that the automakers will now switch to all electric and you will not have a choice between ICE or gas.

In other words, pretty much the entire Party.

How anyone can support the Democrat party is beyond me. Well I understand why government dependents do.

I do get a laugh reading how these same people fly around the country on private jets to talk about saving the planet.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is made up of nearly 100 members. It is chaired by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), alongside CPC Deputy Chair, Congresswoman Katie Porter (CA-45), and CPC Whip, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-05).
"all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives but that the Senate may propose, or concur with, amendments."

i am saying that anyone who votes to increase spending is a progressive. Party doesn't matter

I don’t. They along with everyone else except a handful of elites will be far worse off when these policies are implemented.

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.

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!

93% of drilling is on private land.
