riverine's JournalAOC's Chief-of-Staff says the Green New Deal was about restructuring the economy - not combating AGW

Many of us were highly critical of AOC's Green New Deal because it DIDN'T DO A FUCKING THING ABOUT global warming - the most critical issue we face today. It was all about paying for single payer and other highly suspect social programs that are not threats to all life on Earth.
Now they have admitted it.
Springsteen releases pre E Street Band version of 'Spirit in the Night' on his Youtube channel
Spirit In The Night features Springsteen on piano, while Wild Billys Circus Story sees Bruce playing acoustic guitar. Bruce Springsteen recorded a studio version of the former for inclusion on his 1973 debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, which came out four months before the concert in Los Angeles. A studio version of Wild Billys Circus Story would make it onto The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle when the LP was released in November of 1973.

Rocketman (Elton John) or Yesterday (Beatles) - which should I take the SO to see?
Which one is better?
Which groups of people would be exempt from Medicare For All?
Team Sports/Pro athletes for one. There is no way Tom Brady or LeBron James is going to a Main St physician. If private insurance is illegal would private docs be illegal?
What if big companies followed suit and hired their own medical staffs? Would a Google clinic be illegal?
Would Congress be on MFA? I seriously doubt that.
Of course the military would not be on MFA.
Would medical tourism be illegal? Let's say the best specialists all relocated to the Caribbean to charge 10x the federal reimbursement rate for MFA?
The rich will never stand in the same line with the average Joe.
MFA needs to be discussed before it is adopted wholesale by the party.
Wow, Linda Ronsdtadt covered Joni Mitchell's "River" way back in 2000
Thank you Youtube.
I will always love Joni most but this version by Linda is wonderful,
A Joe Biden/Barack Obama ticket passes Constitutional muster according to legal experts
But what about the 22nd Amendment that forbids someone from RUNNING for POTUS for a third term?
The drafters of this language [of the 22nd Amendment] knew the difference between getting elected to an office and holding an office, Dorf explained. They could have just said no person may hold the office of president more than twice. But they didnt.
Indeed, Dorf even signaled that the present-day Supreme Courts hands would be tied on the matter. In a case from 1968, the Court ruled eligibility requirements that restrict people from running for federal office had to be read with a narrow interpretation that is, the letter of the law mattered more than a broad interpretation of the rules. To rule differently now would thwart the established precedent created more than 50 years ago.
Looking at the 22nd Amendment with a narrow lens, its clearly written in a way to allow a former president to run as someone elses vice president. It may not have been the collective authors intent for that to have happened, but they didnt consider disallowing it either.

The Amendment is LITERAL and allows him to serve again. Take that Federalist Society! Those are the words of the Constitution!
President Obama, we need you now to save your legacy.

Did I just hear the Liar-in-Chief try to take credit for this?
We also produced record amounts of clean energy and natural gas in 2015.
Thanks Donnie the Liar!

The project, which includes photography, film, virtual reality and augmented reality, took four years to complete and launched in September 2018. The exhibition is currently on display at the Fondazione MAST Museum in Bologna, Italy. And their film will be shown in the U.S. this fall.
The Earth is sick.
Why is it suddenly important to rehabilitate the toxic term "socialism"?
I don't get it.
The only thing I can think of is that one certain candidate who is running as a Democrat has hitched his wagon to the term.
Is there any other reason?
Please do tell.
