Cortez spokesman says Dems' 'Climate Crisis' panel sounds like 'screen door on a submarine'
Washington Times ^ | 12/29/18 | Douglas Ernst

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.”

Communist/Socialist are the greatest threat to humankind ever developed. I wonder if the occasional cortex even knows it.

Fun to watch. Somebody with considerable money will back her. Too good an opportunity not to take a crack at.

No. She cannot even understand that concept. Her programming is that people like you and I are the greatest threat to humankind.

I honestly don’t think AOC is ugly. She had some bad pictures taken that have turned into memes, obviously. But for the most part she is relatively attractive, like Hillary was in the early 90s.

That picture of the Clintons was in the 1970s.

I am talking about Hillary around 1993. Not saying she was a drop-dead gorgeous bombshell, but she did have a Rebecca De Morney-like attractiveness about her.

She’ll have an “accident” before 2020; Seth Rich will greet her in Hell.

This is good.

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

"Do you know what she did while I was in Hawaii? She stayed at her apartment in DC. She cooked shrimp and talked policy on Instagram! What's an Instagram?"

To be fair, it looks like she does have the “blue ribbon panel” ploy figured out.

Gonna be hard to tell the difference between Pelosi on the sands and a beached whale. Harpoon them both, just to be sure, or save the whale and throw Pelosi back in the water.

#46. That’s NOT Bill Clinton. That’s my cousin Al. Thought he was in California.

If the Democrats are so smart haven’t they figured out that...

For every tax dollar that goes to climate change we should pull a tax dollar out of welfare. That way once we have successfully beat that evil mother nature through additional taxation and are heroic victors over climate change then the proletariat will be freed from the shackles of welfare... and can freely serve the State and their comrades!

Judicial Watch was looking into election fraud. The Arizona GOP said they were going to look into the Maricopa County irregularities. I have heard no current updates. Nor have I heard that actual government officials were looking into voter fraud.
