Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is set to release her much-touted “Green New Deal” on Thursday -- a package of far-reaching, big-government proposals like health care for all, federal job guarantees and a push to eliminate U.S. carbon emissions -- but it’s already receiving shade from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico on Wednesday. “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it right?


Sounds like they have to pass the bill to know whats in it.

In other words, Rep. Pelosi (CA - Uniparty) is going to go all Paul Ryan on the noobs.

For an agnostic political spectator such as myself, it will be a tremendously entertaining couple of years.

Sounds like Pelosi dismissing AOC's policy IMO.

This is why it's easier to just let rank and file Democrats bring down AOC and the new crew of imbeciles.

Don't make them into martyrs by focusing attention on them from the right.

I think Nancy is a little too classic liberal than most think. The dems are in schism and now that SOCIALISM is NOT gonna happen they are back to square one as a party. Name one dem candidate running that is a moderate. Keith Ellison the radical won't allow it.

In very broad strokes, the Green New Deal legislation laid out by Ocasio-Cortez and Markey sets goals for some drastic measures to cut carbon emissions across the economy, from electricity generation to transportation to agriculture. In the process, it aims to create jobs and boost the economy.
In that vein, the proposal stresses that it aims to meet its ambitious goals while paying special attention to groups like the poor, disabled and minority communities that might be disproportionately affected by massive economic transitions like those the Green New Deal calls for. Importantly, it’s a nonbinding resolution, meaning that even if it were to pass (more on the challenges to that below), it wouldn’t itself create any new programs. Instead, it would potentially affirm the sense of the House that these things should be done in the coming years.

This resolution is as empty as her brain.

You know who the dumbest people on the planet are? The people who are actually gullible enough to believe that AOC is anything more than a pawn or a figurehead. Or what she actually is, namely a puppet.

There's no way 5hat this fool, who couldn't even name the 3 "chains" of the Federal government, has had anything to do with putting together a "Green New Deal."

Sometimes I wonder just how many truly-deluded left-wing loons out there are fantasizing about a President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez some day. Followed up by President David Hogg, of course.

The dumbest phrase out there. Any journalist or pundit that uses "throws shade" or "clapback" should be shot.

AOC is insane and looks to be on the verge of mass infantcide in every photo, but she is a great asset to us and will be a major source of entertainment.

Why? Because it is the classic paradox for lefties: they bring in minorities to decorate their institutions, but those people occasionally will stray from the script they are expected to read. So the lefty is forced to violate his principles and not listen to the voice of the marginalized.

They had an energy expert on Tucker a few nights ago. They were talking about renewable energy (wind and solar). They basically said wind is not really feasible because it doesn't generate the power needed on a large scale. Solar has promise, however issues are storing the energy in batteries. Currently the largest solar array in the world is about the size of central park in New York. That array doesn't generate enough energy to run the NY Subway system for a day. While solar energy has merit, large scale development to completely replace fossil generated electricity for a city the size of Baton Rouge is not feasible.
