Chiquita Krushchev is Bananas.

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez burst onto the scene last year, no one expected that she would crash and burn as badly as she has in such a short amount of time. Between her constant gaffes and Valley Girl voice, she has become a real train wreck for the Democrats. She is the epitome of a young woman who was raised in a privileged environment as daddy’s little princess who can do no wrong. She’s been praised for years for doing nothing, while no one dared stand up to her and tell her she actually is lacking in many areas. Now she thinks she’s a hotshot because she’s one of the youngest members of Congress at age 29.
So not surprisingly, the Green New Deal she proposed in February was so unrealistic not a single Democrat in the Senate voted for it. As President Obama’s legacy became his failed Obamacare, so is Ocasio-Cortez’s legacy becoming her sorry Green New Deal proposal. Embarrassingly, she said the world will end in 12 years if her policy is not adopted. It is based on dubious science, which contends that man-made carbon emissions are destroying the planet. Since many of these proponents have been proven wrong, it seems absurd to spend trillions of dollars to correct a problem that may not exist. But Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t proven to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Having grown up in a privileged environment, she appears unable to grasp the concept of an unaffordable plan.
On her website, Ocasio-Cortez says she considers climate change to be the "single biggest national security threat for the United States and the single biggest threat to worldwide industrialized civilization." This is frightening considering it is dubious science.
Her Green New Deal is named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal, which introduced new government programs during the Great Depression to stimulate the economy. It ties climate change policy with social justice and inequality. It will cost trillions of dollars in the name of combating climate change. It would increase investments in clean-energy jobs and infrastructure, creating jobs. By 2035, the U.S. energy system would be carbon-free and 100 percent renewable energy. Cars would no longer emit greenhouse gases. Planes would be phased out. All the major areas of the economy would be carbon-free: electricity, manufacturing, buildings, transportation and agriculture. There will be no more farting cows, a goal which has been widely ridiculed.
The Green New Deal would crush the U.S. economy since we are heavily dependent on coal, oil, and gas. It assumes much of the renewable energy would come from nuclear power — but there will be significant public opposition to this. It also includes "universal health care" and "food security." It goes beyond regular welfare, providing “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.” There are 15 requirements for “social and economic justice and security."
Even smaller infrastructure projects have proven unaffordable. California had to drop plans for its plan to build high-speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco due to the enormous expense. It was going to cost $77 billion, a drop in the bucket compared to the Green New Deal. California Democratic governor Gavin Newsom admitted that “the project, as currently planned, would cost too much and take too long.”
Ocasio-Cortez has only been in office for three months but she’s already made a fool of herself. And that doesn’t even include the gaffes she made in 2018 before she entered office. For example in November, she referred to the three branches of government incorrectly as the three chambers, and then proceeded to get them wrong: “The presidency, the Senate, and the House.” She is a gaffe-generating gift to Republicans. Despite the Democrats’ efforts to turn her into a star, she is failing miserably. Republicans shouldn’t be afraid of her.
We also have “lock her up”. One of the great chants of all time. But I agree with you, chants tend to be infantile.
Anyway, do you know who the chant-dummie was in the dumb green deal?

So did her voters drop out slackers expecting a free ride on the gravy train.
What they need to add into the Green New Deal is the biggest way to shrink one’s carbon footprint is to start living in a tent cities. Tent cities don’t have electricity or power or water or cars.
More tent cities are what are needed. All greenies should commit to live in them. Sure, there are rats, feces, disease, needles, but no power usage. Greenies can live primitive as if they are living in a third world country which seems to be their goal.
Behold the Soros toy idiot.
Exactly
Chiquita Krushchev is Bananas.
I heard it replayed on the Dan Bongino show, and it was almost embarrassing to hear. The lack of enthusiam was evident!
LOL, we do have a few...”Lock her up” and when Gore was contesting the election, the DC Chapter of FR got outside the VP house and chanted “Get out of Dick Cheney’s House!” (or something like that...:)
What's embarrassing was all those senior congressmen/senators(?) standing behind her when she was talking about the gnd.
The Well Known
GREEN NUDE EEL
Those “senior congressmen/senators” just watched an election in 2016 that could have had a different outcome if young liberal idealists weren’t so distrustful of/disgusted with Hillary. Jill Stein won enough leftist votes in several states (MI, PA, WI) that could have put Hillary over the top; the old guard wants to get those libs back on the plantation.
THE GREEN RETARD
“On her website, Ocasio-Cortez says she considers climate change to be the “single biggest national security threat for the United States and the single biggest threat to worldwide industrialized civilization.” This is frightening considering it is dubious science.”
It is FAR from “dubious science”, it is not any kind of science at all, it is the ravings of lunatics.
