Epoch Times: Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized Senate Republicans on March 23 for bringing her Green New Deal resolution up for a vote.
Ocasio-Cortez introduced the socialist Green New Deal resolution in the House of Representatives on Feb. 7; an accompanying resolution was introduced to the Senate the same day. In March, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) scheduled a vote on the resolution.
“The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others ‘on the record,’ for [legislation] they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
“Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”
Republicans are eager to put Democrats on record as voting for the Green New Deal. The resolution urges Congress to hand the government a monopoly over the U.S.’s energy industry in order to move the nation entirely away from fossil fuels.
The Green New Deal calls for a Soviet Union-style 10-year mobilization, which would take all gas-engine cars off the road and upgrade or replace every home and commercial building in the United States.
By one estimate, the Green New Deal would cost U.S. taxpayers up to $93 trillion over the course of the mobilization. In comparison, the total projected government spending for the next 10 years is $66 trillion.
All of the Democratic senators running for president have co-sponsored the Green New Deal resolution in the Senate, including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).
Beyond the Senate, all but two Democrats running for president have embraced the Green New Deal, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro; and entrepreneur Andrew Yang. more here
IF she didn’t want it voted on, why did she wast the time of both Congress and the American people by introducing it?
Campaigning maybe?
She said she knows what she’s doing and she was the boss of it. So let’s let the bossy bitch explain her theories and have a vote on it. What’s the prollem?
I think she should resign in protest.
“Resign in protest?”….would that involve signing your name in cursive?
As usual, when these anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, anti-America twits have their cars crushed and start walking everywhere and cooking with cow dung I might give a minutes thought on what these zeros have to say…or maybe not.
She couldn’t sign her name in cursive if her life depended upon it. She’d more than likely write it in big block letters or sign it with an X. That’s what she gets for all those worthless participation trophies in screwel.
She’s really pissed off. She used a “+” AND a “&”. Never seen her use a “&” before. Blood must be coming out of her eyes, or wherever.
Come on guys, give her a break…she scored in the 98th percentile on the Sesame Street letter of the day test.
It’s not a Communist State yet sweetheart!
We still get to vote!
“I think she should resign in protest.”
Yep, and take the back taxes she’s owed for years out of her final paycheck.
And if she won’t go away, garnish her check.
La Loca’s whole game of wasting time in Congress to target others ‘on the record,’ for a resolution she has no intent to put to a vote, is a disgrace.
Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn how Congress works. Your job isn’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what your bluff-resolution is for.
A is for annoying, B is for b itch, C is for crud/crap head, D is for dummy or worse, E is for exasperating, F is for eff you, G is for little goddess or godless, take your pick. H is for harridan, I is for idiot, J is for jibber jabber, nothing she says makes sense, K is for knucklehead, L is for loser or loathsome, M is for meathead, just like Mike Stivic, N is nobody, nothing burger, O is for obtuse and obnoxious, P is for putrid, Q is for queen wannabe, R is for retard, something she shares in common with Biden, S is for stupid and shit head, T is for having the IQ of a turnip, U is for uninformed in every thing that she says, V is for varmint or vermin, W is for warthog princess, X is for extra, she’s like an extra on Star Trek wearing a red uniform who always gets killed by the aliens, Y is for yesirree bob, I’m that stupid and Z if for Zardoz, she could’ve been in that lousy Sean Connery movie and no one would’ve noticed or if she was Canadian Zed which is meaningless.
They should be voting on your censure and removal.
Zed sounds like sled, you would need most of the year in Canada!
This was a “resolution”, not a bill. The House is a chamber of our law making body, and laws start as “Bills”. Why are resolutions showing up here? One more instance of our elected not attending to the business of their offices.
I met her in the Bronx no where near Soho
Where they throw campaigns and they Vote just like just like
La Locas
La La La La Locas
She Talked down to me and told me my stance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Loca”
L-O-C-A Loca, lo lo lo lo Loca
Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she stared at me she nearly broke her eyes
Oh my Loca, lo lo lo Loca, lo lo lo Loca
Well, she said I’m dumb and I can’t understand
Why you don’t like my new green deal plan
Oh my Loca, lo lo lo lo Loca, lo lo lo lo Loca
“Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”
Yes AOC, agree. Stop wasting time going after our President now that Meuller’s report has showed no collusion or obstruction. The 2020 dem clowns need to stop using this for votes
Give em what they want!
They’re a death-cult, aren’t they?
Not that I’m suggesting …
izlamo delenda est …
The only bluff votes will be from AOC’s taqiyya, jew hating, fellow socialist comrades, fringe sympathizers and RINO enablers in Congress – they’ll vote against the GND resolution or refuse to vote. Hope the Republicans with enough guts call her bluff.
Being in congress, Just like being in a band, you write a shitty song, your bandmates need to play it to see exactly how shitty it is
Bronx talk…oh and Queens talk (she was GERRY Mandated, LOOK IT UP).
‘TOUGH SHIT HONEY. Wake the fcuk up.’
Addendum:
“The majority of policymakers in Congress are still elected — as was Ocasio-Cortez — from gerrymandered districts and by partisan party primaries that exclude the growing numbers of independent voters and have very low voter turnout.”
Her district map is right IN where the Ghost grew up!
I looked at the map again and RIKERS is in that district!
Who wuz dat…idiot?
Cortez Blasts GOP? No, not that!
F–k her and the fake horse she rode in on.
La Putita is forcing the RINOs to “come up with their own plan” for universal “healthcare,” reparations, “free” college, and “Globaloney-Green” bullshit.
And they will!
The Monkey-See; Monkey-Do RINO Menshevik twat-waffling, go-along-to-get-along, believe-in-nothing, sell-his-mother’s-ass-for-a-bag-of-magic-beans, pandering, unprincipled, dishonest, lying, thieving, fleece-the-widows-and-orphans, cowardly, shit-weasels will try to out-Bolshevik the Bolsheviks (Demonrats) at their own game.
You read it here, first.
