In the awkward aftermath of the Green New Deals rollout, perhaps the most appropriate question for its supporters, especially the Democratic presidential field, is one often posed by tennis bad boy John McEnroe: You cannot be serious!
But, apparently, when New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey introduced their proposal in February, they were deadly serious, and breathless progressives couldnt wait to hop aboard the climate change express. First in line, the Democratic presidential candidates in the Senate who were eager to offer up their enthusiastic support.
There was just one snag. The Green New Deal, in reality, wasnt serious. These werent well-thought-out ideas or vetted policies. They were far left talking points that couldnt possibly survive any real scrutiny. And they didnt.
The blowback was epic. Critics pounced on the resolutions absurd provisions. America would have to retool every structure in the country to maximize energy efficiency. No cars. No planes. Trains to everywhere. Well, except from L.A. to San Francisco, where fiscal reality has already ended that green dream.

The socialists took a hit but they'll be back.
They know exactly that 11.8 years, not 11.5 or 12 years.
The bartender said that we had 12 years left to exist in February. Please plan accordingly.
Last call?
Only a racist would hold them to their predictions.
AOC sure hasn’t been silent.
The fact that it could not be taken seriously is why Mitch McConnell put it to a vote so fast. For the record, it did expose, for what it’s worth, the most hysterically rabid leftists.
Certainly not, in fact, just two nights ago, she was drunk off her ass, talking nonsense with her mouth full of nuts, assembling IKEA crap while crawling around on the floor of her new Navy Yard digs while recording it all on Instagram.
Girl has serious issues
Okay, that was pretty good. It’ll be amazingly abused for the next 11.8 years.
I’m so disappointed.
I thought we’d all be dead by now.
Can’t count on Gore to get anything right.
He’s a guy that could screw up a nice little kiss on a platform.
Say, where is Tipper since she dumped the Sex Poodle? Eating beef and wishing the ocean would rise, I hope.
I think it was Algore who said “the poodle bites, the poodle chews it!”
I wonder if AOC will get a dog!?
Wouldnt even vote for their own bill. And criticized the GOP for voting against it.
I think you’ll see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s speeches as part of President Trump’s campaign in 2020...and with a few other antiSemite speeches, too..
Hey horseface, you have less than 12 years left, make them good.
15 years ago we were told she was dying.
They are still married by the way, just separated for 10 years and committing adultery,... er “seeing other people”.
the poodle bites, the poodle chews it!
Nothing but the best for my dog.

He's the same guy that could screw up a one car funeral!
Classic!
