The "GREEN DEAL" Shot Down in Flames

[zorgon]

Senate UNANIMOUSLY votes down Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal 57-0 with high profile Democrats joining Republicans to show their disapproval for the radical plan as she charges the GOP with wrecking the world

The Senate roundly rejected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal as expected on Tuesday with not a single senator voting 'yes'
The final Senate vote was 57 nays and 43 present 
Most of the Democrats voted 'present' in protest
Ocasio-Cortez argued she encouraged the senators to vote 'present'
Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia; Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona; and Doug Jones of Alabama all voted no as did Independent Sen. Angus King
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell staged a show vote on Green New Deal
The move was designed to put Democrats on the record about the progressive plan, in a vote Republicans can exploit later for political purposes

Earlier Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez slammed Republican Sen. Mike Lee, who mocked her Green New Deal in a speech on the Senate floor
'If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything,' she tweeted 
Lee, in a colorful speech, used a variety of photos to make his point
Lee claimed the deal would ban airplanes and leave Hawaii to use 'a massive fleet of giant, highly trained sea horses' to get around

She doesn't look to happy LOL  HOW IN HELL did  moron like this ever get in to the senate anyway? Is America really that stupid?

The Green deal was to ban all Cars, Airplanes and COWS (because they fart) in 10 years to 'save' Global Warming (which we all know is a natural cycle and NOT man made)

Seriously? Did she really expect they would vote for this? never mind the cow farts, but our very way of life depends on vehicles and airplanes...

And what was her alternative?  err well................................

"Science should not be part of things.."  (1:16)  REALLY?

Ilhan Abdullahi Omar

Incumbent
Assumed office
January 3, 2019

Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (born October 4, 1981) is a Somali-American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district since 2019. The district includes all of Minneapolis and some of its suburbs.

Omar was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 on the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party line, making her the first Somali American elected to legislative office in the United States. She was also the first naturalized citizen from Africa and first Somali-American elected to the United States Congress. Along with Rashida Tlaib, she was one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and is the first minority woman to serve as a U.S. representative from Minnesota.

A member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Omar has advocated for a living wage, affordable housing and healthcare, student loan debt forgiveness, the protection of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and the abolition of ICE. She has strongly opposed the immigration policies of the Trump administration, including the Trump travel ban. A frequent critic of Israel, Omar has been outspoken against its settlement policy and military campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as pro-Israel lobbies such as AIPAC.

During a contentious precinct caucus that turned violent in February 2014, she was attacked by five people and incurred some injuries.[8] According to MinnPost, the day before the caucus, Minneapolis city councilmember Abdi Warsame had told Johnson to warn Omar not to attend the meeting.

In 2016, Omar ran on the Democratic–Farmer–Labor (DFL) ticket for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 60B, which includes part of northeast Minneapolis. On August 9, Omar defeated Mohamud Noor and incumbent Phyllis Kahn in the DFL primary.[24] Her chief opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Abdimalik Askar, another activist in the Somali American community. In late August, Askar announced his withdrawal from the campaign.[25] In November 2016, Omar won the general election, becoming the first Somali American legislator in the United States. Her term began on January 3, 2017.[26]

Geez I guess Minnesota is all Muslim now  

So..

1) She wants to abolish ICE , our Immigration control  "Omar has stated she is in favor of the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. She supports the protection of sanctuary cities and a path to permanent status for DREAMers and their families. She opposes efforts to seal the border, calling Donald Trump's border wall plan "racist and sinful".(She also criticized Barack Obama's "caging of kids" along the Mexican border.(a thing that Trump was accused of)

2) She HATES Israel and is out spoken about it  "A frequent critic of Israel, Omar has been outspoken against its settlement policy and military campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as pro-Israel lobbies such as AIPAC."

"While she was in the Minnesota legislature, Omar was critical of the Israeli government and opposed a law intended to restrict the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. She compared the movement to people who "engage in boycotts" of apartheid in South Africa. During her House campaign, she said she did not support the BDS movement, describing it as counterproductive to peace. After the election, her position changed, {Typical polititian Lie to get elected then flip]}as her campaign office told Muslim Girl that she supports the BDS movement despite "reservations on the effectiveness of the movement in accomplishing a lasting solution"

"In 2018, Omar came under criticism for statements she made about Israel before she was in the Minnesota legislature. In a 2012 tweet, she wrote, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." The comment, particularly the notion that Israel had "hypnotized the world," was criticized as drawing on anti-Semitic tropes. The New York Times columnist Bari Weiss wrote that Omar's statement tied into a millennia-old "conspiracy theory of the Jew as the hypnotic conspirator". When asked in an interview how she would respond to American Jews who found the remark offensive, Omar replied, "I don't know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans. My comments precisely are addressing what was happening during the Gaza War and I'm clearly speaking about the way the Israeli regime was conducting itself in that war."[78] Later, after reading Weiss's commentary, Omar apologized for not "disavowing the anti-Semitic trope I unknowingly used"



3) Financial transparency issues

In 2018, Republican state representative Steve Drazkowski publicly accused Omar of campaign finance violations, claiming that she used campaign funds to pay a divorce lawyer, and that her acceptance of speaking fees from public colleges violated Minnesota House rules. Omar responded that the attorney's fees were not personal but campaign-related; she offered to return the speaking fees.

Drazkowski later accused Omar of improperly using campaign funds for personal travel to Estonia and locations in the U.S.

Omar's campaign dismissed the accusations as politically motivated and accused Drazkowski of using public funds to harass a Muslim candidate. In response to an editorial in the Minneapolis Star Tribune arguing that Omar should be more transparent about her use of campaign funds, she said: "these people are part of systems that have historically been disturbingly motivated to silence, discredit and dehumanize influencers who threaten the establishment.

The problem with New Zealand mirroring the Australian approach to gun control is the Australian approach didn't work and wasn't needed

There are more guns in private hands in Australia now than before the 1996 ban *and* gun violence has simultaneously gone down for decades

US Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls on Muslims to 'Raise Hell' in the US

[The Seeker]

This is supposed to be a U S citizen and an elected official?
Pray tell, what state's populace elected this piece of feces ?

She needs to take a history class about WW2 and pay attention to the words of Admiral Yamamoto when asked about Japan versus the United States and whether Japan would invade the mainland:" I am afraid we awakened a sleeping giant that we cannot defeat, and an invasion of the mainland would be pointless, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass..."

Her muslims aren't the only ones that can and will raise hell, and the last time I looked, there is still a whole bunch of us here willing to fight for our country and way of life ...

Muslims are going to take over.  It is completely unavoidable.

Why, you ask?  Because the level of violence that would be required to prevent it, is completely ethically infeasible.  We're talking about open war against a third of the global human population.

Muslims know that.  The civility of the majority will be used against us.  They can rape, murder, burn cars, and do whatever else they like, and the only response will be more candle lit vigils where they are collectively told that they are welcome here, and that they therefore don't need to engage in said violence.

So the entire subject is barely worth talking about, because the two options that we've got, are either total capitulation, or a global war that would make WW2 look like a slapping match between a couple of four year olds at a local kindergarten.  The only way to stop Islam would be to completely, systemically exterminate it; to commit an attrocity against them of sufficient scale and immensity, that its' memory would become part of the religion itself for as long as it existed after that.  Universal subjugation is the most fundamental Islamic imperative, which means that as long as the religion exists in any form or to any degree, they will never stop trying.



But we are not going to do that, because it is wrong.  They, therefore, will take over, and wipe out every other form of religion or philosophy, secular or otherwise, that exists.

This is a case of what I have come to refer to mentally as Gandhi's Choice; a scenario where we are ethically required to allow ourselves to be completely destroyed, because the only alternative is unthinkable.

And all these souls have, in many instances, if not all instances, sacrificed themselves willingly on the alter of love, for their fellow human beings. There are few in the world today who would be prepared to sacrifice themselves.

...

When you lose yourself in a sea of love, then indeed do you find that you lap again the shores. It is as if you cast yourself into the cleansing power of the eternal sea of love, and you do not become drowned, but you become, as it were, lifted up - buoyed up by it - and you are carried by it, and in consequence, your work then begins.

Sadly Petrus, I believe you are right.

[The Seeker]

Perhaps you are both right; but my heritage and bloodline is such that I would choose the warriors path and die fighting against what I see as evil and oppressive;

and are you suggesting that those 4 billion chinese are going to sit idly by and let Islam slam them? Or Russia?

Please elucidate further as to how this would be accomplished
