Gillibrand: Passing Green New Deal Is the ‘Same’ as Moon Landing

Tuesday during a press conference on Washington D.C., 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey’s (D-MA) so-called Green New Deal was “the same” as the 1969 moon landing.

Gillibrand said, “Congress has to take this crisis seriously. We need to treat climate change like the existential threat that it is. We need to pass a Green New Deal. This should be our nations’ Moon shot. When John F. Kennedy said, ‘Let’s put a man on the Moon in the next ten years not because it’s easy but because it’s hard,’ he didn’t know whether he could put a man on the Moon but he knew it was something worth fighting for.”

What clueless idiots we have as politicians.

Is there a requirement to fail an IQ test to be allowed to serve in political office?

The climate will change no matter what they do to us legislatively.
The Sun is the determining factor.
The likely prospect for the next 20-30 years is colder.
Sun spots are decreasing, the Sun is throttling down again.
When that happens, earth gets colder.

I can’t figure out if folks like Gillibrand, Harris, and Booker are brainwashed (into commie thought) or if they are unbrainwashed members of the group doing the brainwashing.

I think the framers knew we would elect nincompoops, which is why we have our form of limited government.

Thanks rktman. That explains why the slob voted “present” and no Demwit (or Pubbie) voted yes.

Under such a deal we never would have made it to the moon. Irony much?

Also, when the Earth gets hotter, there is greater evaporation of the oceans and, hence, more clouds and rain.

More clouds and rain have a cooling effect on the Earth and that leads to a cooler planet.

The cooler planet means less evaporation of the oceans and that means less clouds and rain...and clearer skies.

Clearer skies means heating of the Earth and oceans...which starts the cycle over again.

As an aside, more clouds and rain also mean more water for vegetation and that vegetation is hungry.

Hungry for carbon dioxide.

They didn’t limit it enough.

Term limits would have been a HUGE help.

Treat Communism like the threat that it is.

Ban all petrochemical industry?
Ban all airplanes?

Welcome to a turd world dictatorship. Millions would starve and die.

Same as always.

The communist indoctrination/brainwashing of Americans isn't psychobabble.

It's quite real.

Take a look at colleges and universities and schools. Take a look at the media.

Their bias isn't the result of stupidity alone.

Their bias is the result of a lot of hard work on the part of commies for the last 50+ years.

When I want to understand a scientific concept, I ask politicians first.
When I want to find a criminal, I ask OJ.
When I need a lawyer, I seek out CPL

I am a democrat. /LOL
