Passing infrastructure bill, Democrats go all-in on climate
The $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill the House passed 233-188 on Wednesday has little chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled Senate. But it fired a political warning shot: Democrats view climate change as a top issue for an already turbulent election year.
“This bill, as audacious as it is, will do one thing for sure: give Democratic candidates talking points for their campaigns this fall. It also sets the agenda for a big infrastructure push for a possible future Biden administration,†said Ross Baker, a Rutgers University political science professor.
In the middle of a pandemic that underscores the value of science and public health, Democrats are carving out territory on climate change and pushing it as an election issue for November and a threat that intersects with voters’ daily lives.
In other words, they wasted House time voting on a bill with no chance of becoming law which focuses on a low hanging issue while people are suffering, physically, mentally, economically from the pandemic which they initially said was less than the regular flu.
The bill, which passed the same week Democrats on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis released a 547-page report laying out a strategy for tackling climate change, would require states to commit to reducing greenhouse gases and other climate measures in order to receive federal dollars. It includes measures that would increase federal dollars for projects built with materials that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
How about we just stop sending so much of our hard earned money to Los Federales so they can spread it around for stupid crap? It’s long past time for States to reclaim their 10th Amendment powers and independence within the framework of the Constitution.
It would devote federal dollars to installing charging stations for electric and alternative fuel vehicles. And it would create a $250 million per year grant program to support local investments in reducing greenhouse gases.
How in the hell does this help infrastructure? And why aren’t all Democrats driving electric vehicles themselves?
Liz Hamel, vice president and director of public opinion and survey research at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said climate change is a significantly more critical issue for Democrats than for Republicans. Still, Hamel said it lags behind health care, the economy and the coronavirus — even among Democratic voters.
“There’s so much for people to be concerned about and worried about and outraged about right now that to break through to those who weren’t already extremely concerned about climate change, it’s difficult,†Hamel said.
Democrats apparently want to run on the climate scam, tearing down everything America, and defunding the police. Good luck!

And the Democommies fought tooth and nail to stop that growth with fear, panic and their Fake News media.
What’s black and white and red all over? Ans: The Democommie Party
Some more NON-Voter Fraud from the Democommie professionals:

Plus, we get the combined wisdom of communists and BLM leaders in this little ditty brought to us by Elwood’s “brotha’s & sista’s”:
“Before the media had placed them center stage, they spoke more openly. From 2017:
A co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto argued that white people are “recessive genetic defects†and purportedly mused about how the race could be “wiped out†…
Yusra Khogali has faced increased scrutiny over the past year after BLM Toronto gained political influence following their disruption of the Toronto Pride parade and confrontations with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.
Khogali and friends were apparently able to force the Toronto police out of the parade. That may sound trivial compared to their current goal of abolishing police entirely, but even maniacs have to start somewhere.
In her softer moments, she has second thoughts about eliminating Caucasians:
She also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: “Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.â€
Other times, she is not so benevolent:
“Whiteness is not humxness,†the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.â€
She goes on to present a scientific approach to eradicating white people:
“White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,†the post reads towards the end. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.â€
The term for this is miscegenation. It is promoted ad nauseam by the advertising industry.”
How does it feel to know Elwood and his comrades are conditioning black Americans to EXTERMINATE white Americans. Brings back the whimsical days of the progroms and the Nazi’s combined! Everything’s justified because slavery.
