McConnell strategically put the Green New Deal up to a vote in the Senate. All Republicans and a handful of Democrats voted against it. The remaining 43 Democrats voted "present", either in protest or because they recognized that when your opposition calls for a vote on your own side's proposition, it's a trap.

Nice. Is that yours?

Got it. Good call Mr. Q.
This and the death of Obamacare...and it's only Wednesday!!! :lol:
Since Trump's been cleared Repubs seem invigorated. Mebbe now they'll get up offa their kness and do sumthin' other than givin' Dems rim jobs.
Nice bit of distraction while blocking the actual report we paid for.

Did the Ric Ocasek part give it away?:p:
Nah, the distraction is Smollett.
No, the vote was strictly a 'put your money where your mouth is' deal.

You literally can't "put your money" on a non-binding resolution.
It's not even a piece of legislation, it's a list of general ideas.

Oh yes! I see it now. :blush:

3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María. The Midwest is drowning as we speak. 100s of Flint families were pumped w/ poisoned water & our water infrastructure is imperiled across the country.
GOP thinks this is a joke.
They choose to laugh+delay.
We choose to lead.#GreenNewDeal

'delay': sure as shit some of that 'delay' would disappear if the folks who support the GND would actually 'support' the GND, but they don't, not really.
AOC embodies the Orwellian "duckspeak." I've never before encountered it so thoroughly.

Hello UG. Nice to see you here again.
Great, now I have to censor all my anti California comments and tirades. :mad:

I, an intellectual, also believe this about every person who disagrees with me about anything.

Flint, well, yeah... And it's always fun to be literarily apposite.
Slang, dunno so well about that. I live in Ventura County in So.Cal. and I'm pretty tiradey myself.
Tiradelicious...? Tiradiferous...?
Might be counted as a small favor that AOC La Duckspeak isn't from California. 'Course, that's mighty hard lines on New York.
