China-Unity Joe To Make Good On “Incredibly Progressive Agenda

Well, sheesh, you would have thought China Joe would have at least waited a few months after Inauguration Day (if it happens) before suddenly ditching any notion of building unity, because how do you create unity when you are going to push legislation, executive orders, and rules that are far, far Progressive (nice Fascism)? Does he think the 71 million Trump voters will join him in backing things they are 100% against? It should be interesting watching the conserving conservatism Never Trumpers realize just what they advocated is coming. No whining, NTs!

Biden campaign manager says he’s ‘going to make good’ on ‘incredibly progressive’ agenda

President-elect Joe Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said Sunday that the former vice president would follow through on his promises to implement what she characterized as a progressive policy agenda.

During an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,” Bedingfield responded to comments from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who told The New York Times in a wide-ranging interview that many activist communities who support Democratic candidates often feel left behind when politicians don’t come through and fulfill their promises.

“I think that Vice President Biden campaigned on an incredibly progressive and aggressive agenda,” Bedingfield said on Sunday before pointing to the campaign’s plan to tackle climate change developed with advice from supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders‘s (I-Vt.) presidential bid, including the New York congresswoman.

“He’s going to make good on those commitments,” she continued. “I mean we, you know, he spent time during this campaign bringing people together around this climate plan. He was able to get the endorsement of groups like the Sunrise Movement and the endorsement of labor for this plan.”

“It’s a big, aggressive plan,” Bedingfield continued. “It’s a perfect example of the kind of, you know, big effort that he is going to make to meet this moment and to meet these crises that we’re in.”

Despite getting tweets from Team Joe like this

We stand together as one America. We will rise stronger than we were before.

And

With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country — and a thirst for justice — let us be the nation that we know we can be.

And

And other kumbaya coming together stuff (which he never offered Trump, nor offered opposition while he was VP, or while he was trashing the Iraq war and Bush 43), we know that he will govern from the far, far left, kowtowing to the Nancy Pelosi to AOC wing of the Democratic Party. Good luck with that unity stuff.

Here Are 5 Things China Joe Can Do On Climate Crisis (scam)

Don’t think for a minute that China Joe will give up his own use of fossil fuels and make life at the White House net zero, these things would never apply to him

Five things Joe Biden can do to fight climate change — without Congress’ help

Climate change is fueling record-breaking fires, hurricanes and floods. Global emissions of greenhouse gases are returning to pre-pandemic levels. And America — which has emitted more planet-warming gases than any other nation — has just become the only country to quit the Paris climate agreement.

President-elect Joe Biden is a few months away from inheriting a seemingly impossible situation: a country where the majority of people say they are in favor of climate action but where a divided government in Washington will complicate any efforts to do so.

If Republicans keep control of the Senate, then much of the legislation that would be needed to implement Biden’s aggressive plans to tackle climate change would likely be blocked.

But there is a huge amount that Biden can accomplish on his own. Here’s a look at five areas of environmental policy that the next president can change without so much as a phone call to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

So, let’s see

One of the most significant steps Biden could take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would to be reinstate tough nationwide rules for auto emissions and mileage standards that were put in place under the Obama administration and that essentially mirrored regulations already in effect in California. (snip)

But Biden has promised to reinstate the Obama standards and make them tougher, expanding them beyond passenger vehicles and SUVs into the most polluting trucks. He’s also likely to grant California a new waiver, allowing it and the 13 other states that have adopted its standards to crack down even more on tailpipe pollution.

The reduced emissions standards put in place by Trump really didn’t make much of a difference, because auto makers were trying to give greater MPG on cars and smaller SUVs. Biden, though, could hose the bigger SUVs and trucks which people are buying more of. Many automakers have done away with most or all of their sedans. So, higher prices, folks.

Biden could issue a new executive order directing the Interior Secretary to halt all oil and gas lease sales and permits. This would not block oil production that’s already taking place, but it would prevent more wells from being drilled and would allow for a gradual transition away from natural gas. The Obama administration used the same strategy to prevent the sale of new coal mining rights.

And your energy prices will go up, but, that’s not a problem for Biden, who will have you pay for his fossil fuels for flying and driving all over

Develop the Clean Power Plan 2.0

You don’t need more than the bullet point headline. The original CCP was put on hold by the courts after dozens of states sued, then killed off by the Trump admin. What makes them think this would not be hit with a lawsuit immediately, especially if it goes further? But, hey, if climate cultists love this, why don’t they all give up their own use of fossil fuels and only power their lives with solar and wind?

A report from Brown University’s Climate Solutions Lab lays out a series of steps that include creating a “climate club” of countries that volunteer to reduce emissions by agreeing to set a minimum price on carbon and penalize high-emitting countries through trade measures such as tariffs.

So China Joe could increase the cost of goods for American citizens, eh? Joe would prioritize other nations over the U.S.

Some environmental advocates have said that because we are barreling toward catastrophe, Biden should invoke emergency authority to address climate change. This step would be bold — quite possibly bolder than Biden is willing to be — and it would carry major rewards and risks.

Under emergency authority, a Biden administration could use military funding to quickly move the country away from coal and gas-powered plants and toward renewable energy. He could also increase the number of electric-vehicle charging stations, require automakers to produce more electric vehicles, and accelerate the expansion of clean-energy technology — all without having to ask Congress to approve new funding.

Oh, so, Fascism. Good to know.

In fairness, this is not China Joe saying this (yet), but, climate cultists writing for the LA Times and passing this off as news. Perhaps they should make their lives Net Zero, and the operations of the LA Times net zero.

Joe Biden, Who’s Called Trump And Trump Supporters Bad Things, Now Demands “Unity”

So, if the cheating holds up, and it most likely will, China Joe will be president (for how long till he’s replaced with Kamala, I guess we’ll see), and he wants

Let me ask: why should we unite with the people who never gave Trump a chance, who’ve called us racists, Fascists, and Nazis for all these years, who made up conspiracy theories about why Trump won, etc and so on? Who now want to make lists?

After a Campaign Comparing Trump to Nazis, Joe Biden Calls for Unity

Joe Biden, presumed the winner of the presidential election according to mainstream media networks, issued a call for “unity” Saturday evening after a bruising campaign in which he had compared President Donald Trump to Nazis, including Adolf Hitler.

Biden, who called his campaign a “battle for the soul of our nation,” launched his campaign in April 29 with the false claim that Trump had referred to neo-Nazis as “very fine people.” (Trump in fact said that they should be “condemned totally.”)

When confronted with that fact, Biden continued to insist on his version of events, despite evidence to the contrary.

Biden referred to Trump and his supporters as racists, saying 10 to 15 percent of Americans were “not very good people.”

In the last weeks of his campaign, Biden compared Trump to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, a vicious antisemite who was one of Hitler’s most trusted aides. In late October, his campaign released a video recorded by the Black Eyed Peas that compared Trump to Hitler himself, and implied that his supporters were like Germans who saluted the Nazi regime.

You now have Democrats saying they will fly the U.S. flag again. Where was their unity? Why does the nation need healing? Looks to be due to unhinged Democrats. Remember, you had many saying they would not give Trump a chance immediately after the election, now they want to give Joe a chance. I said I would give Barack a chance, but now? No, thanks

Jason Chaffetz: President-elect Biden calls for ‘unity’ – but where was ‘unity’ from Dems when Trump won?

Remember when Democrats called for peace and unity in the days following the 2016 election of Donald Trump? Neither do I.

In fact, I remember my congressional office being inundated with angry calls from people alleging voter fraud, demanding investigations, and insisting Donald Trump could not be allowed to assume the presidency.

Back then, they wanted a special prosecutor, criminal investigations, lawsuits, and congressional hearings to ensure there would be no peaceful transition of power.

In the months following, the “Resistance” was born. Clinton voters, many from outside my district, packed my town hall in the days following the presidential inauguration.

But now in 2020, as Joe Biden proclaims himself the president-elect, it’s a “time to heal.” Convenient.

“The better angels of America are back,” Biden proclaimed to a parking lot of cars and a smattering of people in Delaware Saturday night.

And just like that, “Resistance” is no longer in fashion. The rules have been rewritten.

When Democrats hold power, we must be unified, and our opposition must be silent. Not to be confused with the rules when Republicans hold power – which are that Resistance is as American as apple pie.

Are we now allowed to resist, or will the media and Democrats now have a problem with that?

Don Surber writes

Before I take off for my day of rest on Sunday, let me respond to Biden’s hypocritical call for national unity. By unity he means conformity.

Shove it.

A real leader who cared about the country would have called for unity 4 years ago when his side was throwing tantrums.

A real man would have called Trump supporters Americans.

Instead he called us the dregs of society.

Shove it.

It wasn’t that long ago that Biden was calling us Chumps and worse.

By unity, Biden means conformity. The threat to the politicians in Washington has ended. Accountability died. The Durham report will say it is OK to lie and spy on behalf of Obama. The whitewash was the whole purpose of Barr’s appointment.

Exactly. We are expected to roll over and comply, rather than fight for our beliefs. So, no, I’m not giving Biden a chance. None. I’ll channel leftists when it came to Bush 43 and Trump: Biden’s not my president. He may be president, but, he gets no respect and no support. He’ll have to earn it. And I highly doubt he will. He’ll do everything against Conservative ideals. Why should any of us unify with people who hate us, and divided us from the minute Trump was elected? Remember how they were planning on how to impeach Trump even before he took office? And they’re talking about prosecuting him, his family, and the people are him? How will that work?

So, yeah, shove your unity.

The Green New Deal Is A Bigly Election Loser

Whether we’re talking about the Green New Deal submitted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the House and Ed Markey in the Senate (which was already a loser, since every Dem, including Markey, voted “present”, and it has been languishing in committee in the House, with AOC not bothering to demand a hearing and vote) or some slightly less insane version, the election was not good for it

One clear election loser: The Green New Deal

Joe Biden was both for and against the Green New Deal. In a debate, he said it would pay for itself. Sentences later, he denied he supported it even though his website said the Green New Deal was a “crucial framework” for his own plan.

No matter, though. The exit polling shows that the climate issue was simply not a voter priority anywhere. The high mark for climate seems to have been in Colorado, where 9% of voters said climate was their priority. But in states such as Florida, Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even Biden’s Delaware, a mere 3% of voters said climate was their priority.

None of this is to say that Democrats won’t keep trying to force the Green New Deal or variations of it down our throats. They certainly will.

What are the prospects for the success of the Green New Deal in a Biden administration?

It looks like Republicans might successfully defend the Senate, and they have even picked up several seats in the House. So, we could expect a return to the Obama era of congressional stalemate on the climate issue, perhaps with some unilateral executive pen-and-phone regulation.

A lot of people are blaming the hardcore Modern Socialism of AOC and her crew for the loss of House seats, including the GND. This thing is going nowhere.

Will a Republican-controlled Senate kill hopes for a Green New Deal?

Three months ago, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden stood before cameras in Wilmington, Delaware, and promised to take the biggest, most sweeping measures to fight climate change ever seen in the United States. He would spend $2 trillion on boosting renewables and energy efficiency. He would completely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector. It was, according to one writer, a promise to implement the Green New Deal — “minus the crazy.”

But now, even if Biden wins the seemingly never-ending presidential election, those hopes have been dashed. After losing tight, high-profile Senate races in Montana, Maine, and Iowa, the Democratic party currently holds 48 seats. And they may not get any more. The only remaining seats up for grabs are in North Carolina — where the Democratic candidate, Cal Cunningham, is lagging behind after a sexting scandal — Alaska, and Georgia. (The Georgia Senate seats will likely go to a runoff in January, but Democrats would have to win both seats if, as expected, they lose in Alaska and North Carolina.)

Let Joe submit the legislation. Let’s see it. Let’s see all that’s in it. Let’s look at the costs. Let’s see how much it hurts the economy and people’s wallets. I triple dog dare him. Even if there had been a blue wave, this is the last thing on their priority list. Because, Doing Something about ‘climate change’ is important to people in theory, not practice.

Philly Activists See Biden Winning As A Debt To Them

The “activists” are never satisfied, and always want more. They aren’t particularly concerned with black people shooting each other on the streets of Philly and other Democratic Party run cities, though

Return to Normalcy? Not on the Streets of Philadelphia

As the sun sets the night after the election, the streets around City Hall feel like a dystopian street fair.

Illuminated by garish purple lights, leftist speakers lead rants and chants from the tricked-out back of an old delivery truck. A marching band’s drum section materializes, and, inexplicably, so does someone in an Elmo costume. Everyone is masked, no one is socially distanced, and everyone I speak to has a bleak outlook on life. The Philadelphia police bicycle by, looking neutered compared with the National Guard, which stands a block away with rifles strapped across their chests. A capitalist sells Black Lives Matter swag. Most downtown shops have hung plywood to deter looters, painted over with reassurances that they’re still open. They look closed.

In Philadelphia and other cities, radical leftists planned protests for Nov. 4 regardless of the election outcome. Wednesday’s demonstrations were peaceful here, but if you hoped a Biden presidency would bring tranquility to urban America’s streets, forget it.

“No matter what goes down on Election Day, we will gather this Wednesday and every Weds until the fall of the regime,” pronounced a flier circulating in several cities. The self-described “rebel alliance” network Crimethinc.com explained that “if Biden wins, there will still be police, prisons, deportations, ecological destruction, capitalism—a Biden victory is not the end of this struggle, it is just the beginning of a new chapter.”

So, downtowns will continue to be boarded up, because of the threat of violence from Biden/Harris voters. And they’re going to continue going on when Biden takes office (if he does).

Many of the demonstrators I interviewed have little use for the Democratic Party. Microphone in hand, a speaker Wednesday night bemoans how “the Democratic Party enabled Trump” and “enabled his policies the last four years.” She’s particularly outraged that Democrats didn’t fight to block Justice Amy Coney Barrett: “They did not do anything. They could have mobilized the mass movements that we have seen all summer long—the Black Lives Matter movement, the people who have gone on strike, the teachers—and they did none of that. So we have to be very real about the fact that Joe Biden, if he wins this, he won it despite himself. He won this because of these mass movements, not because he’s a good candidate.” The crowd applauds.

From this perspective, Democrats owe a debt for a Biden victory, and those in the streets intend to collect it. Unless the radical left wields the threat of unrest, “I think if push comes to shove, the Democratic Party is going to let Trump and the right wing just roll right over them,” says Lile Harris, 22, who’s out Wednesday night evangelizing for Philadelphia’s Socialist Alternative group.

This is what you created and let fester to harm Trump, Democrats. It’s all yours. Have fun

Among the protesters I interviewed, urgent goals include the abolition of the Electoral College, a $15 minimum wage, the Green New Deal, Medicare for All and expansive curbs on police power and funding. They play hardball, exerting their will through a combination of street action and social-media shaming. This intimidating strategy may not win elections, but it can shape policy—especially if Democrats are as spineless as the radical left believes.

These are your nuts, Dems: whatcha gonna do now? You like patronizing them when you need them for elections: what happens when the elections are over and the nuts come with their bill? You can only put them off so much, especially when you stood by and let them become very violent.

“I approve of destruction where it makes a statement and sort of hurts the right people.” Looting looks like a minor offense compared with “police violence and the entire country being stolen from Native people hundreds of years ago.” Ms. Globig describes herself as a moderate: “You could get much further left voices here. I think I’m actually a little bit conservative compared to a lot of Philadelphians.”

If those who consider themselves moderate Democrats are good with destruction and violence, what about the hardcores? These are your folks, Dems. You own them.

Climate Cultists Think Joe Biden Could Gets Lots Done Through Executive Orders

If the GOP holds the Senate, China Joe Biden won’t be able to get much done legislatively, because all the climate cult crazy will never make it to his desk. We know that Joe won’t look to do reasonable stuff that, even if the GOP doesn’t believe in the climate scam, would be good, such as building nuclear power plants. So, how does he do stuff?

Executive orders: Biden’s best bet on climate

If Democrat Joe Biden moves into the White House next year, the path to action on climate and the environment will likely run through the executive branch.

Senate control remains in limbo, but if Democrats lose just one of the two special elections in Georgia in January, Republicans will keep the upper chamber, leaving a difficult path for environmental legislation.

Biden’s allies said they’ll be pushing him to flex the powers of the presidency immediately in hopes that a quick move to regulate can avoid rollbacks by a future Republican president.

“There’s lots of opportunity for him to use executive authority to look for setting standards, to look for federal investments in technologies and advanced battery storage, to get the grid constructed in an infrastructure investment,” said Gina McCarthy, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council and a former EPA administrator.

No, no, using executive “authority” doesn’t sound to authoritarian or anything.

EPA finalized the Clean Power Plan in 2015, shortly after the world adopted the Paris climate agreement, but the Supreme Court almost immediately issued a stay, and the Trump administration eventually rolled it back for a more modest power plant greenhouse gas regulation.

President Trump has also scaled back Obama-era auto fuel efficiency standards and the 2015 methane rule, not to mention some of President Obama’s national monument designations.

Observers said the experience highlights the dangers of an executive approach, particularly for climate policy, because the next administration could easily erase any new regulations made in the next four or eight years.

And, there is the Congressional Review Act, which can whack any executive orders with a simple majority vote. So, what might China Joe do?

While uncertainty still reigns about Senate control, one thing is clear: Biden will rejoin the Paris Agreement.

The former vice president has pledged to do so throughout his campaign, and even though the U.S. formally withdrew earlier this week, rejoining is a relatively simple administrative process.

On the domestic front, observers said there are a few obvious early moves. Biden could move to restore Bears Ears National Monument to its original size; halt Trump’s proposal to open up logging in the Tongass National Forest; and restore Obama-era methane standards, which were largely supported by the oil and gas industry.

There are also several other policies “within reach,” including more stringent vehicle fuel efficiency standards, said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune.

“We would expect the Biden administration to move forward with an end to fossil fuel leases on public lands,” Brune said.

The GOP should demand that Joe stop taking fossil fueled flights and SUVs, practice what he preaches.

With Trump leaving more conservative courts in his wake, the judiciary is likely to be less flexible with EPA authority.

There is that. China Joe will probably over-reach, because he’s cognitively impaired and Kamala Harris and the other hardcores will be telling him what to do, but, there will be lawsuits, and the rules and regs will be put on hold, much like with the Clean Power Plan and Waters of the USA.

Mitch McConnell should bring the Green New Deal up for another vote as soon as the Senate starts its next session in January/February, put the Dems on the record yet again, though they’ll probably vote “present”.

The Anti-Fascist (sic) Forces Begin Compiling Lists

This is not talking about compiling lists, this is them actually making lists, and being happy about it

Leftists, Never Trumpers Begin Compiling Lists of Trump Supporters

Left-wing Democrats and Never Trump Republicans appealed Friday for assistance in compiling lists of Trump supporters to they could be held “accountable” for supporting President Donald Trump after the election.

“Democratic socialist” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted: “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”

Michael Simon, who describes himself as a former staff member in Barack Obama’s administration, replied in the affirmative, linking to what he called the “Trump Accountability Project”:

 

The database at the site includes a list of federal judges appointed by the president.

Yes, that tweet looks strange, because Simon deleted his. Emily Abrams, who worked for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign, limited who can see her tweets, after tweeting and being called out. She seems big in the project. Lots of others, including conserving conservatism Anti Trumpers like Jennifer Rubin, were super excited to retweet and push this bit of Fascistic list making.

Right now they just want to go after

Those who elected him.
Individuals who worked for the Trump for President campaign, Republican National Committee, and affiliated PACs in 2016 or 2020.

Those who staffed his government.
Individuals who worked in any role as a political appointee in the Trump Administration.

Those who funded him.
Individuals who used their massive personal wealth and influence to bundle money for Trump.

Who’ll be next on their list? Oh, and who might file a targeted harassment claim, which would most likely be at the federal level? Could go from a misdemeanor to a felony. There are state and federal laws against this kind of thing. But, hey, remember, the Joe Biden era will be one of coming together and unity and stuff, right?

Go ahead and keep you little lists, Libtards: whatcha going to do about it? Send in you little Black Shirt Antifa folks? That may work when they’re burning down Democratic Party owned areas, not so well when you start messing with Conservatives.
