Anyone who is surprised that climate cultists want to do away with multiple Constitutional protections designed to protect citizens from mob rule and tyranny, please raise your hand (yet, most Warmists still refuse to practice what they preach)
Biden’s Executive Order on Climate Crisis Exposes Need for Constitutional Change
Biden’s January 27, 2021 executive order “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” reveals the way corporate power is protected from democracy.
“We face a climate crisis that threatens our people and communities, public health and economy, and, starkly, our ability to live on planet Earth,” the order reads. However, rather than seek to govern the private fossil fuel sector, the order narrowly confines itself to future oil and gas leases on public lands. That’s because current interpretations of the U.S. Constitution ties the hands of the government from substantively governing existing fossil fuel infrastructure.
That’s because the Constitution protects us from dictatorship. Remember, these are the same people who spent four years (and 8 years under George W. Bush) caterwauling about him being a Fascist and a dictator for removing government authority
Because Biden’s order remains “consistent with applicable law,” it does nothing to govern private oil and gas leasing, or existing leases on federal lands. This tells us something about that “applicable law,” namely, the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court’s interpretation and manipulation of law to insulate corporate power.
Biden’s order operates within the confines of a system of law that has elevated fossil fuel companies into “persons” that enjoy property rights including under the Due Process Clause. (A corruption of the 14th Amendment that was actually meant to create some justice for formerly enslaved people.)
Hmm, so the climate cultists want to take away private property rights? OK, let’s take away their property, see how they feel (as a sidebar, this is why you should watch out if the Waters of the US rule is given another whirl, one of the most Big Government of Big Government rules ever)
Of course, it’s not up to Biden to change this status quo. But the reasons Biden’s order is so weak exposes a structure that will seek to limit bolder future action to address the climate crisis. (snip)
The order does what it can within existing law. It’s up to movements to change that law. That means expanding constitutional demands beyond procedural demands to abolish the Electoral College and reform the courts, and into substantively addressing corporate constitutional privileges enshrined in the Constitution.
So, since their 30+ years of spreading awareness hasn’t worked, they want to institute one party rule, like in China, North Korea, the old Soviet Union and new Russian Federation, Cuba, and other authoritarian regimes. That pesky Constitution is just so inconvenient to government dictates and forcing people to comply with your doomsday cult beliefs.
Sadly, I fail to see where the current illegal military junta abides by any Constitutional provisions. Our Free Speech was outsourced to their billionaire buddies in Silicon Valley, the Fake News Media and the Twitters of the world. Our Freedom to redress our grievances was taken when they decided any protests at the Capitol was “insurrection” and “treason” then surrounded themselves with armed troops, fences and razor ribbon. They stole our voting franchise and refuse to address the theft even to do a recount or an investigation oddly after the junta itself “investigated” the last election for two+ years coming up with ZERO. The constant din of separating us from our firearms is a 25 year erosion of our Second amendment rights and it appears the Junta is poised to make a full-out gun grab.
They dox us, deny us our jobs and businesses, keep us locked in like cattle and now they want to steal our property? Ever heard of “Forfeiture Laws”? They already CAN steal our property with the slimmest of pretenses. Incarcerate us too. We are no longer citizens but statistics. We are now racists, White Supremacists and worse if we don’t toe the leftist narrative. Remember “Silence is Violence”? That means even if we don’t protest WE’RE STILL GUILTY!
All one needs to do is read the Elwood/Hairy comments to get a clear picture who they consider the “Real Americans” and it sure ain’t us. And since they aren’t smart enough to come up with this shit they must be spouting the Party line. Heil Xiden!!
Commenter: “current illegal military junta”
No. Elected by both the popular vote and the antiquated Electoral College which greatly favors conservative minorities.
Commenter: “Free Speech was outsourced”
No. Private companies can regulate their outputs. If you want to change the laws or even the constitution to take away those privileges go ahead.
Commenter: “any protests at the Capitol was “insurrection†and “treasonâ€
The “protests” at the US Capitol included breaking windows, killing Police officers and injuring scores more, threatening the US VP with lynching, terrorizing Representatives and Senators with the intent – and this is important – of blocking the Constitutional certification of the Electoral College vote state by state. Certainly that’s an insurrection.
Commenter: “stole our voting franchise and refuse to address the theft”
No one stole your voting franchise unless you consider your boy getting his ass handed to him is stealing. The mechanics of voting were addressed by each state, by hand recounts, the DOJ, and dozens of court cases. Nothing was found to even remotely overturn the election. Even trump’s A-Team of attorneys didn’t cite fraud. His current impeachment lawyers are claiming trump was cheated but are claiming he shouldn’t be tried because of a procedural technicality.
Commenter: “25 year erosion of our Second amendment rights and it appears the Junta is poised to make a full-out gun grab.”
No. All new gun restrictions have to pass muster with our conservative courts. How have your 2nd Amendment rights been eroded the past 25 years?
Commenter: “keep us locked in like cattle and now they want to steal our property”
Really? You can’t leave your house? The government plans to steal your property? Drama queeny, don’t you think?
Commenter: “We are now racists, White Supremacists and worse”
Not all. But the trumpist movement has white supremacists, Oath Keepers, III%ers, Boogaloo Bois, neoNazis, QAnoners and Proud Boys aligned with them.
Commenter: “to get a clear picture who they consider the “Real Americansâ€
Surely you’re not claiming that the white supremacists, Oath Keepers, III%ers, Boogaloo Bois, neoNazis, QAnoners and Proud Boys involved in storming the US Capitol were patriotic Americans? Since the TeaBagger days, the alt-right has made it clear who THEY consider “Real Americans” and it ain’t libs, blacks, LGBTQs, Hispanics, Muslims, or immigrants.
Stop your tiresome and irrational whining. Your guy lost. He caused you to lose the Senate. You’re not being boxcarred to FEMA camps. Or put against a wall and shot. Your property is safe. BUT – you are not immune to harsh criticism for your extremist beliefs.
IF you actually believe the election was stolen and that an illegal military junta seized your country, by all means put your big boy pants on and fight for America!
Another Rimjob jibber-jabber “is not” response.
But he repeats himself.
#Believe the Big Lie!
#Unity Motherf@cker!
Bwaha! Lolgf
He certainly lives in another world. Just think, he has this long dissertation that is pure lies, then goes to other conservative sites and stimulates just as much hate as here.
deviant7134 claims I also comment at other nut-wing sites but refuses to name them.
Maybe lil CumGargler can show us the evidence that the election was stolen.
Elwood is that why you have to erect WALLS that don’t work around the capital and have the military defending the capital because Biden was LEGALLY ELECTED?
Pretty much half the country believes to this day that Biden is a fraud, works for China and that his family is a crime syndicate.
I know you guys bought a lot of lipstick for the pig in the white house but it doesnt change the fact that your side is now whoring themselves out to the Military Industrial Complex. Big Pharma, Big Business, Wall Street and Billionaires.
Biden wrote the Crime bill that destroyed the black family and VP HARRIS enforced it and even went so far as to keep people in prison longer for FREE LABOR or the state of California. SHE withheld evidence that would have cleared a death row inmate until she was forced to turn it over by the courts.
A heartless act befitting of the party who now wants to imprison, kill or throw out of the country everyone who disagrees with them. She is the perfect choice for your party once they can figure out how to get the TRUE DON out of the White House.
It must be a rite of passage for fascists/communists to buy into every fukin lie the bosses spew. I bet Elwood actually believes that sleepy, corrupt, senile Xiden got more votes than the Obummer. NO WAY, Jack.
He just gobbled up the trope that a protest at the Capitol was an insurrection whereas burning down 27 cities, doing $5 billion in destruction an causing the death of at least 50 people was “peaceful protests”. The stupidity is pathetic.
What is your reasoning to support your fantasy that trump won the election? It’s not based on actual votes. You may even recall that trump received fewer votes than the highly unpopular Hillary Clinton, so how could you be surprised that he lost to President Biden?
It’s not a belief that Biden won, it’s a fact. That’s where you should start your rehabilitation.
insurrection (noun)
in·​sur·​rec·​tion | \ ˌin(t)-sə-ˈrek-shən \
: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government
If you wish to label the BLM protests, many of which devolved into riots, as insurrection, knock yourself out.
But please recognize what happened on 6 Jan 2021 was a direct attack on the United States Congress in the process of certifying the Electoral College vote, with the objective of stopping that certification. In addition – and this is important – the US President at the time encouraged the attack and supported the objective! A protest would have standing around the Capitol yelling, chanting, holding signs and singing, Stop the Steal! But the mob broke windows and doors, assaulted officers (killing one, injuring many dozens), broke into the chambers while screaming “Hang Mike Pence!” and “Where’s Nancy (Pelosi)!” This is not to deny the violence that occurred during the BLM protests/riots, only that those protest had a legitimate objective – stopping police violence against black people, and to better the status of blacks in America. The objective of the Capitol mob was illegitimate – stopping the certification of a legal (and Constitutional) requirement. Trump lost the election.
To recap: Storming the US Capitol Building to disrupt a Constitutional process is more threatening to the United States than any dozen BLM protests/riots.
You stupidity is pathetic.
Yada yada.
And Rimjob calls others stupid.

What US? That went with the big steal. They should burn the Capitol to the ground.
Devoid7134 is delusional, believing/feeling that Trump won the election. Most nut-right conspiracists viewed Trump as more than a mere president – he was the chosen one to return America to its white, Christian heritage – and as such could not possibly have lost. They can’t allow themselves to accept the reality that Trump was defeated. They are devoted to Trump with a religious zeal. And now, dangerous delusionists such as Devoid7134 wail that America is gone and the Capitol should be burned to the ground.
As you were told many times, Trump was a false prophet, existing only to absorb your adulation. The nut-right has become a death cult. Once Trump was kicked to the curb he had little use for any of you.
Your correct of course Elwood.
A few hundred protestors allowed into the Capitol to wander around waving flags while about 50-60 violent protestors did all the damage is the greatest crime in the history of the USA.
I mean its even worse than 19 men flying Airlines into the Pentagon, the twin towers and the one that was headed to the capitol was fortunately taken down by brave people.
That of course was not more threatening than a MOSTLY PEACEFUL unarmed threatening mob of anarchists.
burning down peoples homes, businesses and killing people in cold blood was less dangerous to the republic than grandma waving a flag in the hallways of congress.
Shutting down the nations economy and then giving the people NOTHING for a year is not more dangerous to the nation than a few people storming the capital. Watching people starve, stand in bread lines to feed their families while being told to STFU and stay in your house was not more of an insurrection by the government than a few little old ladies waving a flag while being let into the capitol by the police.
You have bought all the koolaide MSNBC is selling you Elwood. You have finished the dehumanization of the right so that killing them is easy for you.
Why do you think it is against all norms and laws for the military to FRATERNIZE with the ENEMY? Because if the enemy whoops out his pictures of his wife and kids it makes it harder to make them an inhuman monster to be crushed without remorse.
Everyday you dehumanize the collective right on this site. Every day you hate on the right and those people here in an attempt to dehumanize them. Calling them bigots, racists, fascists, Nazi’s, Putins Puppets, Homophobes, women haters, etc…etc.
The left calls you a socialist and a communist. Many, many in your party hold cards from the SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST PARTIES. Many profess outwardly their leaning. Its hard to call the truth a lie.
BLM leaders are avowed Communists. Antifa is Radical ANTI-GOVERNMENT haters that the left actively supported and VP harris led the drive to fund their bail so they could be back on the streets burning down more cities….That alone should and will be an impeachable offense once the right is in power again in 2022.
Show me one member of Congress carrying a RACIST card.
Show me one member of Congress carrying a BIGOT card.
Show me one member of Congress carrying a NAZI card.
Show me one member of Congress carrying a FASCIST card.
Show me one member of Congress carrying a HOMOPHOBE card.
Your dehumanization is noted. Remember it always, always goes two ways. Right now nations around the world are rising up against twitter. Greta Thunberg is being actively investigated by INDIA for fomenting violence in their country.
What goes around comes around Elwood and soon you might find yourself on the other end of a movement to cancel YOU.
We understand your frustration and your burgeoning disdain for America.
You worry about you and your right-wing comrades being dehumanized. Boo friggin’ hoo. The nuRight shared their bed with white supremacists, neoNazis, QAnon, “militias”, homophobes, Islamophobes, xenophobes and Trump. They made Mr Trump their savior – The One to Make America Great Again – and he was delighted to assume the role and relished the adulation and attention. But Trump played his “troops” like a fiddle and he has moved on.
No Elwood. You don’t understand anything.
You are a loose cannon flaming the winds of war. You want Americans killing each other. You want to use the military to crush an armed insurrection forced on them by people like you.
The only thing you understand is the complete lack of empathy for people you have dehumanized.
As for Trump. You wished he has moved on. Lol. You are terrified of Trump because you know how powerful he is.
And once again you are throwing out labels that are untrue. Once again dehumanizing the right so that you can anger your small petty little world into becoming so angry that they snap.
The truth be told Elwood. Look around. Look at the world.
Nationalism is springing up all over the world. Trump is the Messiah. A secular messenger to the nations being absorbed by Communist China with the aid of a 1000 billionaires.
Trump has to go. His followers have to go. Unfortunately for YOU…His followers span the globe now. Even Macron of France is now embracing Nationalism and rejecting the EU and their stupid tenets of destroying every nations culture in the name of Globalism.
Be afraid Elwood. Movements are hard to stop and your movement is a bunch of petty snowflakes WHO THINK they have POWER. And for now they do. But it won’t be long before this leftist movement is crushed under the weight of 5 billion people seeking to save their own cultures.
Good luck with your insane mindgame with yourself. I am betting on the other guy in your head…….TRUMP.
“Threatening to the US..†J again has another drama queen allegation without any proof to back it up. I’d say 1-2 billion dollars in damage, 25 killed, and 700 police officers injured, with the violence continuing to be much worse. I’d say free speech being shut down by big tech to be much worse. But the best- “to disrupt a constitutional processâ€. I see, as opposed to the “constitutional process†being violated in the election by those in several swing states changing election laws specifically prohibited in the Constitution? Got it.
Caterwalking? Just look at the comments Teach!
Most of the posters here hate the USA
They talk about how great it used to be not how it has gotten much better for non white America
America was great when taxes on the rich and companies were higher, and deficits lower
America was greater before we had an idiot line Trump tgat repeatedly told his cult that COVID was no worse than the flu
Teach when did you personally realize that COVID would kill 1/2 million in one year ?
Nice try, John. We also had the liberal media saying covid was no worse than the flu. We had top Dems including China Joe criticizing the move to restrict flights from China. China Joe said he wouldn’t have done that, which would have made the pandemic worse . By the way, still waiting for you to say what Trump should have done. Are you afraid, John? “America was great when taxes on the rich were higher..†You do realize that as “taxes on the richâ€have decreased, the share of taxes those at the top pay has increased, right†Hello…John…are you there…?
Trump continues to scam his cult for their money he raised 200 million to “fight the steal†but never spent it
He just pocketed it
😀😀😀😀
Where’s the alleged “scamâ€, John? Anyone being forced to do what they don’t want to do?
Trump led his followers/donors to believe there was a path forward for him to overturn the election. There wasn’t. They believed him. Even commenters here still claim that Trump won!! He didn’t.
Even his Jan 6 mob thought they could overturn the election. He said he would storm the Capitol with them!! He didn’t. They believed him when he said VP Pence could declare Trump the winner. He couldn’t. Now a few hundred of his warriors are facing charges, but Trump reserved his pardons for his buddies. Small wonder some of his warriors feel betrayed. Officer Sicknick and QAnoner Babbitt died in the assault.
But you may be right. It’s possible those 2 million donors giving him $250 million might have just felt bad for billionaire Trump. After all, he forfeited $1.6 million in salary over his single term.
Funny-so in other words there’s no evidence of any scam, unless in liberal land fund raising is considered a scam. And of course evidence has been offered of fraud, not to mention the blatant unconstitutionality of several states election practices.
I find it hard to believe that a man who donated his entire salary for four years as President of the United States “pocketed” anything. Also you do realize money collected like that is under the strict supervision of several branches of the federal government ALL of which are just itching for Trump to do something illegal, anything will do?
