The unlikely duo of Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York unleashed their Green New Deal yesterday, and it was a fantastical, wild ride through absurdity.

inRead invented by Teads “Today is about the vision that we’re putting forward,” declared Ocasio-Cortez.
And off she went, with a rolling, melodic rhythm — the ringmaster of a journey on which she was taking the gathered throng. “Today is a big day for workers in Appalachia,” she declared. Then we were off to “living rooms being flooded in with the waves of rising sea levels.”
Next, the spotlight shone on the “economy, the labor movement, the social justice movement, indigenous peoples and people all over the United States of America.”
It was a progressive rendition of the Beatles’ “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” featuring a steady cavalcade of socialist flourishes, progressive buzzwords and postmodernist sloganeering. At one point you half-expected Markey to lurch over to the mic and bellow out the refrain, “And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz!”

Obviously the Green New Deal is an absurd proposal. It may be the most ridiculous, unserious and flimsy initiative ever deliberated in the light of day by professional adults. With the exception of the mention of a carbon tax, it is entirely unrealistic and unfeasible.
AOC is a delight. She is positive, full of self-esteem and has a million-dollar smile. Good for the Bronx.
It would be nice to see the members of our delegation in attendance at the spectacle focusing on what was good for their constituents.
LOVE it !
Agree head stone is now in place for that party the brain is dead.
A million dollar smile-—
AND a 2 cent brain.
Lol... me too. Great title and coin. lol
“With the exception of the mention of a carbon tax”
No. No. No. A carbon tax is an insidious monster that will grow and get you at every turn. This is my fear, instead of the wholesale rejection of this nightmare they will use it as a starting point. They will say “lets act on the good ideas that are in it”. There are many idiots in our party who buy into this hoax would be sympathetic to this notion.
And the “International Ass-occiation of Gorons”.
A woman who’s never owned so much as a lemonade stand is now going to put herself in charge of planning one the biggest economies in the world AND EVERYONE THINKS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?????????????????????????
Some good news - that would make Algore shark food.
“...and it was a fantastical, wild ride through absurdity...”
Scoff at our own peril. No one ever used to think there would be legal queer marriage, men in womens rooms, or a puke like Obama elected president.
“A million dollar smile-—”
“AND a 2 cent brain.”
The peripherals are somewhat okay but the hard drive is hopelessly corrupted by viruses, malware, spyware and bloat.
Probably best to try installing a new hard drive if possible. Otherwise scrap the whole thing and try a different model.
Unless you enjoy headaches for grins and giggles.

Series, who else would unleash such a defective device on the public?
The Russians are all in on the collusion scam and another Manchurian candidate is more Beijing’s style.
Seems like material for some great memes! ;)
AOC: The gift that keeps on giving.
Total Waste of Skin. And Teeth.
You are the wise one. The American public has been dumbed-down enough to climb onto the Alexandria Occasionally Coherent bandwagon.
I’d rather lose a few good guys and gals than allow idiots like this to grow old and die in the chambers of CONgre$$.
Term Limits may not be the best solution.. but...
