“So it only took five weeks for the entire Democratic party to lose all political capital after winning the House ? That has to be an all time record.”

Best post of the day !

The answer to all your questions?

NO.

In their fantasies, they will get their police-state agents to come to your home, farm, or airfield and confiscate your illegal goods.

And in this same fantasy, we all would just let them.

In reality, most cops wouldn’t dare try, people would fight back, willing to kill confiscators, and then burn down the elites homes and string them up on lamp posts.

You see Ocasio-Cortez, us deplorables can have fantasies, too! And ours are more likely than yours.

I don't have a private plane but I do own a brand-new house my wife and I built when we retired onto our beef cattle farm. So we have two out of the three you mention. :-)

My first thought was how much will it cost to climate change proof every house and commercial building in the country? Is the $42 trillion estimate I've seen just to accomplish that part of the Green New 'Fleece-the-Taxpayers' Deal? Sounds awfully low to me.

Will they replace my efficient double pane windows with triple pane ones? Or will they eliminate the windows altogether so we would live in essentially a box cave like the caveman did? Just askin'....

And how much to build the train rails to replace the airplanes that now fly great distances to other lands and across the oceans? And what kind of energy will the trains run on? Wind? Solar? Algae?

And what happens with my cows? Will they murder them like they want to kill newborn babies at full term? Do we all have to become vegans or can we still eat chicken, pork and fish? Or are they off-limits too under this new green plan?

So many questions for this brave new green planet they want to forcibly foist upon us.

But I'm sure with those two brainiacs, AO-C and her sidekick, Ed Markey, they have figured out all of the answers for us.

After all, as democRAT senator, Mazie Hirono from Hawaii has said, "democRATS have a hard time connecting with voters because of how smart the democRATS are and they know so much."

The clowns who are involved with building the high speed rail from LA to San Fran will be available when they get that project finished in the year 4040.

The bunch of “experts” who keep trying to building a high speed rail from LA to Las Vegas can also be available. They keep trying to sell the concept that includes customers driving to Hisperia, get on the train that takes them to a desert area west of LV. They will then board the famous LV tram to the back side of the strip hotels. They will have the big adventure of getting your baggage and family to your hotel which may not be on the route. At this point it may be time for the return trip to your car that you hope will be there in one piece.

Apply this adventure to a high speed rail trip across the Pacific ocean.

If you're a wealthy American with a home and private jet, the answer depends on how loyal you are to the Party.

If you're a farmer with property and cattle, you're a Kulack. Kulacks must have their property confiscated and added to collective farms. The Kulack who has their property confiscated is by definition an enemy of the Party and therefore must be moved to a remote center where they can be reeducated.

At least that's the history of such things.

Has everybody seen the movie IDIOCRACY? (Not safe for kids, a sprinkling of crude stuff in it).

It’s about what happens in the far future when the idiots run the world.

They have a green agenda (no joke). But they plants keep dying anyway.

It’s because of Brawndo.

See this https://youtu.be/GFD2ggNxR1g

Essentially, it’s like Gatoraid and the idiots think if it’s good for people, its got to be good for plants....and so the world production of food crashes and people are starving.....

it’s one of the best dark comedies you will see (and appropriate for the time)

Questions for all Democrats supporting the Green New Deal...

1. If all air travel and transport has to be ended, will you promise today to immediately stop flying and having things shipped by air? If not, why not?

2. If carbon-based energy is so bad, will you promise to stop, today, using gas for heat, gasoline for cars, and convert your buildings to all-solar energy this year, at your own expense? If not, why not?

3. Since rockets cannot leave earth without fossil fuels, all satellites will become useless. Will you stop, today, using all technology that includes space-based satellites, including GPS and international communication? If not, why not?

In a word - NO! Since, you are the problem, we don’t know how you go on eating.

Wait until she realizes there will be no more Amazon (or other companies) next day, 2, 3, 4 or more day delivery if her pipe dream of ending air transport comes to fruition.

She didn't’t think this through

No...no...and no...
They are no longer making those kind of promises...but you will love life under their thumb...that’s the only “promise” they make...you’ll just have to hop into the fire to see how hot it is.
