Tax the rich. Fund the Green New Deal. democrats.com

 

DAVID - Recently Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world, shot himself into space. And a few days before that Richard Branson, another billionaire, did the same thing. Billionaires like Bezos and Branson have so much money that they’re financing their own private space flights. And they’re only able to do so because of a rigged economy, on the backs of working people. Meanwhile, we’re suffering through a climate disaster. Wildfires so big and intense that they darken skies thousands of miles away. Heat waves so destructive that they are literally melting infrastructure. The solution to our climate crisis is staring us in the face: we need Congress to tax billionaires like Bezos and Branson and fund the Green New Deal. If you agree, will you add your name? Together, we’re building the grassroots and political power we need to make this vision a reality. The Green New Deal Network is a coalition of grassroots organizations, labor unions, and climate and environmental justice groups working to build a movement to create millions of family-sustaining union jobs, ensure racial and gender equity, and take action on the climate crisis at the scale and scope that it demands. The need for a Green New Deal for all people has never been so urgent. It's time we invest in and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create millions of good, union jobs while tackling the climate crisis. And it’s time for people like Bezos and Branson to pay their fair share so we can make that happen. If they can afford to fund personal space flights, then they can afford to fund a Green New Deal. But we need you with us to make that happen. Will you add your name and join the thousands of other activists in telling Congress to tax billionaires and fund the Green New Deal?

BLAST FROM THE PAST: SATURDAY, AUGUST, 29, 2020 TRUMP SHOWS THE WORLD...

...THAT LIES, IGNORANCE, RACISM, AN UNEDUCATED POPULACE, AND PROTECTING HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS IS THE 2020 REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

AP fact check: Trump distorts record, BLM falsely accused: https://aol.it/32Cy6Ao via@AOL.

U.S. SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS CONTINUES HER ROLE AS A TRUMP APOLOGIST.

Susan Collins says on CNN that she thinks it was wrong for Pelosi to pick which Republicans serve on the Jan 6 committee, suggests she wasn't troubled by the idea of material witness Jim Jordan serving on it because "there were many communications with President Trump" on Jan 6th.

YOU REMEMBER SENATOR COLLINS, DON'T YOU? HERE SHE IS SPREADING "WISDOM" ABOUT BRETT KAVANAUGHS NOMINATION TO THE SCOTUS.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

REMEMBERING TRUMP. PAST POSTS THAT REMIND US OF THE "REAL DONALD TRUMP.": JUDGE KAVANAUGH- LISTEN TO THE RESPONSE. UPDATE: A TRUMP MINION DEFENDS...

...and we're stuck with three of these "JUDICIAL JOKES," APPOINTED COURTESY OF DER FUHRER DONALD, FASCIST TRUMPIANS, AND COWARDLY TRUMPOCRATS.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins said the following, to explain her "REASONING" IN SUPPORTING JUDGE KAVANAUGH FOR THE SUPREME COURT:

"In evaluating any given claim of misconduct, we will be ill served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence and fairness, tempting though it may be," she said. "We must always remember that it is when passions are most inflamed that fairness is most in jeopardy."

HOWEVER, JUDGE KAVANAUGH GETS A FREE PASS FROM THIS:

" Revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences will be with us for decades."

I GUESS HIS ACCUSERS ARE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN HE IS.

THAT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN HATE SPEECH BEING PROTECTED BY ONE OF DONALD TRUMPS MINIONS...

...AND THE MINION IS SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS.

THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN FROM JUDGE KAVANAUGHS TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, REGARDING ACCUSATIONS MADE AGAINST HIM.

"This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about president trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record. Revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences will be with us for decades."

WHAT CAN WE TAKE FROM THIS?

#1. Anger-  Does this reference the Unconstitutional denial of President Barack Obamas choice for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, a chance to testify before the Senate, to be followed by a public vote? 

BUT YOU'RE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. REALLY?

#2. President Trump and the 2016 Election- You mean an election with Bogus Returns in at least 6 States that handed Donald Trump the White House, paving the way for him placing 3 Judges on the Supreme Court.

Do you mean "FEAR" of having the future course of Judicial Precedents decided by DONALD TRUMP, whose behavior while in the WHITE HOUSE is often considered to be IRRATIONAL AND VINDICTIVE? 

#3. Revenge on behalf of the Clintons- I assume you have the facts to back this up, since this is a direct accusation. Also, Do you mean that the Clintons planned and executed these plans directly, or are unwitting pawns that had no knowledge about the attempt to create this "Circus"?

IS THIS HOW A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SHOULD CONDUCT HIMSELF IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY?

THE HOUSE OF REP. HEARS FIRST DAY TESTIMONY ABOUT THE JANUARY, 6TH, 2021 ATTACK ON THE U.S. CAPITOL.
