House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s plan for a new “Climate Cris” panel didn’t go over well with all of her political allies, particularly staffers for newly elected Ne w York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The California Democrat, who is poised regain her House Speaker role in the near year, championed a new “Select Committee on the Climate Crisis” on Friday, but her younger and more progressive counterparts were not impressed.

“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sounds about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” said Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Rep.-elect Ocasio-Cortez, The Hill reported Friday. “As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to humankind.”

Pelosi can be reached. I believe her current area code is 808. She'll be on the beach sipping champagne and snacking on some tasty foie gras while wearing her big floppy sun hat and Lugano Diamond Sunshades.

This is good.

I can just hear Nancy and the other older Democrat politicians...

How do you handle a problem like Ocasio?

She actually believe the stuff we feed the proles...

Next thing you know, she will be insisting we pay our interns...

Then the whole neighborhood will go downhill...

“solving the greatest threat to humankind.””

Isn't it going to be fun to watch the RATs try to run the House this time! I'm loving the idea that Pelousey is going to have people way, way to the Left of her this time. She's going to spend the next two years running “trying to catch the train!” I just imagine she's going to undergo just about as much “screwing” by her own Party as they are going to be trying to do to Trump. Just wished I had the popcorn concession! Just think of all the cross-party fights we're going to witness!

” the greatest threat to humankind.”

What’s scary is these people really believe this BS.

As another FReeper coined them: “Bug-eyed Bolsheviks”

I realize it’s not the subject, and I don’t intend to hijack the thread, but a burning question IMO is what if anything is being done about the obvious voter fraud this past election that put these lunatics back into the credibility of holding office?

This equine-looking horses ass primadonna is going to be a pain in the ass to everyone. Batshit crazy, uglier than a horse and dumber than a rock—makes for a fine representative for NY.

The purpose of the committee (which has no power) is to gather donations. It will be a big success with Oertez if/when she gets her checks from it!

This is going to be fun.....

Good one

“Bug-eyed Bolsheviks”

They already have an “early retirement plan” for Cortez. She won’t be around to bother them, much longer.

[DIRTYSECRET]

They’ve got big plans for her.

That reminds me: Where does the California ‘foie gras’ ban/battle stand, at this point?

[Caipirabob]

Lol...you totally nailed it. Pelosi is in on the scam, she knows it’s BS. Cortez is a believer, a useful idiot, but now one with power and a following of an army of useful idiots. She’s a real threat to the powers that be and they are only seeing just the beginning. Pelosi’s ilk kept the czar in power. Cortez is part of the lot that executed the czar and his family.

Do not underestimate Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.

She is not dumb.

She actually looks pretty good when not taken out of context in single photos.

As for crazy.. She is not crazy, given the crazy world view of the left.

People with that world-view took over a third of the planet and murdered over 100 million people the last century.

She has the media behind her. That is halfway to taking power.

Stalin was an informer for the Czar's secret police. He ratted out many in the Communist party.

That is how he stayed out of jail.

Then, in the chaos that was Imperial Russia at the end of the First World War, he took over with total ruthlessness and murdered tens of millions.

In the process, he won WWII.

He was very evil, but very smart.

[Gay State Conservative]

She is not dumb.

Don't mistake smoothness for intelligence.She's definitely smooth.And she's just as surely no rocket scientist.

Ala Seth Rich. Dead by other means.
