Democrats hope Biden uses the climate to takeover and destroy the economy

With people wearying of the endless “COVID emergency,” the administration is allegedly pivoting back to climate change to buff up its unlimited powers.

If there was one lesson the Democrats learned from 2020 forward, it was that, if the government convinces voters there’s an emergency, the voters will let the government get away with murder. That’s why there is a huge push from the left for Biden to declare a “climate emergency” and, under that rubric, end fossil fuels in America on an accelerated timeline. If Biden were to do this—and to get away with doing it—America is over. Kaput. The great experiment will have ended.

The Washington Post seems to have been first with the story. I don’t have, and won’t get, a subscription to that rag, but Ryan Maue sums up the madness:

In a blueprint, the Center for Biological Diversity outlined executive actions under a "climate emergency"

— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) July 19, 2022 Implementing these key climate emergency executive actions would have potential dangerous economic and national security implications.

It would be quite insane.

— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) July 19, 2022 The Hill has also reported on Biden’s plans. The very first sentence reminds us why I think any such action should be unconstitutional:

The Biden administration is considering the declaration of a climate change emergency in response to congressional inaction on the issue.

In other words, because the People, through their elected representatives, are not buying into the increasingly hollow claim about an imminent climate disaster, Biden is contemplating an authoritarian attack on the American economy.

I am assuming the Republicans take the House. That removes Nanzi as third in order. Kevin becomes third or the Republicans go outside to get a speaker. I believe Trump/outside/Kevin will impeach Sniffer and the Ho. That will put the new speaker as President. I don’t know which order, Sniffer then the Ho or both simultaneously. It still require 2/3 of both houses, and, that looks like an impossibility. But, maybe, it will take 2 years where they can’t do anything.

Biden will have destroyed the US in 4 years. It won’t stop until he leaves. Therefore, he MUST be impeached and removed come January.

We need commitments from every R running they will remove him. No hemming and hawing.
