DC: Outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake will soon co-introduce legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions, according to news reports.
Flake, who will not be returning to Congress next year, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coon, a Democrat, will introduce their carbon tax bill as soon as Wednesday. The bill is unlikely to go anywhere with just two weeks left in the current legislative session.
Flake and Coon’s bill will be the Senate companion to bipartisan House carbon tax legislation introduced in November. The Washington Times first reported of Flake’s carbon tax bill Wednesday, and The Hill later confirmed it.
Like the House bill, Flake’s carbon tax bill would tax emissions at $15 per ton — a rate that would rise $10 per year until greenhouse gas emissions, hitting $100 per ton in 2030. All of the revenues raised through the tax will get rebated to households to compensate for higher energy costs. MORE HERE
Yep, no diff between a RINO and a Democrat.
How can this loser call himself a Conservative? Well, I guess he calls himself a Republican. How can we miss him when he won’t go away?
Flakes not going anywhere. He’s gonna take some time off and then come back and run as a Democrat.
Coon Flakes. Not my favorite cereal.
TRUMP’S LOSING HIS GAME: THE WALL, GUNS, SYRIA ETC…HE’LL PROBABLY CAVE TO THIS TOO!! IS HE GETTING READY TO GO FULL RINO WHEN THE DEMS TAKE THE HOUSE???
DISAPPOINTED!!! %&^$$#@![[<#@@!!@
but the tax will be rebated to households. This is brilliant!
Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’l be abducted again by space aliens.
Uncle Al
That might have already happened. You catch that cats eyebrow?
Pretty weird Daddio. ,
I plan on placing my “carbon tax” in a paper bag, setting it on my congresscritter’s doorstep, lighting it on fire, ringing the doorbell, and walking away… 😡
@Bad_Brad – “again” (-:
The Flake n’ Coon Bill. Got a funny ring to it.
Sorry Uncle Al, 77 Sunset Strip is now playing at three in the morning. It boss.
Brad – good show! Zimbalist Jr. was better as a PI than as a fibbie!
Pretty weird Daddio, 77 Sunset Strip. Wow, blasts from the past.
MS3TK, Daddio, classic stuff.
h/t Uncle Al and Brad

Mannix is on right after that. I no longer sleep. Which explains a few things.
Why won’t these traitorous rinos just go away?

PS
Peggy Lipton was a babe.
Is it possible you mean Peggy Fair? Peggy Lipton is that scrawny thing on Mod Squad. I think Mannix holds the record for getting his ass kicked most often in a teevee series.
Youse guys; The best Detective Squad show evaah: Barney Miller. NYPD.
PS
Peggy Lipton was a babe.
But Pete and Link were kinda lame.
Solid!
I seem to have a comment that pissadeared.
Gail Fisher was a babe. And I no longer sleep.
Gail Fisher played Peggy Fair on Mannix, don’t ask me how I remembered that, maybe I liked her too.
“I think Mannix holds the record for getting his ass kicked most often in a teevee series.”
Must admit that’s true. Except for ‘Cannon’ (before ‘Jake and the Fat Dude’).
Jesus,,,
Jake always showed up first, after which the Fat Dude came in the crime screen, sat down and wanted to what the strawberry bakery tart meant?
Hey!!! Tax bills are supposed to originate in the House, not in the Senate.
That is where the high court screwed the pooch on obamacrap. Among other things, it was a tax that originated in the Senate. Violated the 10th Amendment. right to privacy.
No to that being one who signed on to that as constitutional should be removed from the High Court for gross negligence and political stupidity.

It doesn’t end well.
My late night TV babe is Audra Barkley of The Big Valley. (Linda Evans)
Cute dimples and nice balloons.
Can he be nominated for a Profile in Courage for this meaningless, futile effort?
He waits until he’s got his hat and coat on – walking to the door as it is – and then finally decides to be who he’s always been. I hate conservative judges. I want to propose a carbon tax.
All he’s missing is his pink boa and a musical number before he wipes his chin off and comes prancing out of the closet he’s been hiding in – locked from the inside.
McCain’s looking up and smiling at you with pride, bitchboy.

Just read her Bio. So sad. She had it made.
Flake, your days of screwing America are numbered. Guess you’ll just have to screw yourself. Effin idjit.
You think growing up with the name Flake had an effect on his psyche?
Too bad the left hook that got him in the nose wasn’t about 3 inches deeper, to have hit him in the temple. Then we might not have had to put up with him…
Let’s just split the difference, by taxing ONLY Corn Flakes there.
We can start, by taxing his pension at 100% – the proceeds of which, will be used to fund the border wall. 😀
