    Default Senate rejects Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal in 57-0 vote...

    Senate rejects Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal in 57-0 vote blasted as a ‘sham’ by Dems

    The Green New Deal failed to pass a procedural vote in the Senate Tuesday, with Democrats slamming the GOP motion as a “sham” and with two exceptions voting “present” in protest.

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put the ambitious plan to create jobs and improve the environment to a vote to force Democrats to take a public stand on the measure and try to divide the party’s moderates and progressives.

    The final vote was 57 against and no one for the plan, with 43 Democrats voting present.

    Red State Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona voted no.

    ”I could not be more glad that the American people will have the opportunity to learn precisely where each one of their senators stand on the ‘Green New Deal’: a radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire US economy,” McConnell tweeted.

    Democrats, including New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called the vote a political stunt.

    “The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others ‘on the record’, for leg they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace. Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for,” the freshman lawmaker clapped back on Twitter this week.
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    With all the time House Democrats have wasted on the collusion phantom and endless Trump investigations they have little room to talk.

    Besides, it takes little time for a single vote. And there’s something to be said about knowing where your representatives stand on an issue.

    It does seem that the JPP liberals consider AOC's loss, acceptable.

    It's nice to have NO liberal non-sensical replies on here. YET. You KNOW some fool is going to give it a shot.

    Apparently, they've given up even trying to defend her lunacy.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
