    You need to add something about federal lands and grazing; the battle here goes beyond the extractive stuff. Surely one or more of them has vowed to eviscerate the defense complex.

    That would only be fair and inclusive, and, God knows, we must be inclusive above all things.

    Here’s a new one fresh off the presses from the increasingly desperate, “Beto” O’Rourke, whose fame derives from trying to channel JFK —

    ...The former congressman from Texas unveiled a plan for military veterans that includes a "war tax," in which taxpayers who earn over $200,000 a year would pay $1,000 in a new tax for each war embarked on by the United States.

    O'Rourke, who did not serve in the military but sat on the House of Representatives Armed Services and Veterans' Affairs committees, said the tax would be levied on households without current members of the U.S. military or military veterans. He did not specify what types of war, or the scale and origins of the wars, on which the tax would be levied...

    I would be exempt by virtue of being a veteran

    On another note---I regard that as a dumb ass idea.

    I would be in favor of veterans in good standing and those serving getting an extra vote or partial.

    Comrade Sanders has promised a new pander — his government will “cancel” medical debt for individuals. No word yet from the economic sage who lived in a dirt-floored & Sterno-heated shack into his late 30’s about details such as who will be protected, how or if medical institutions will be reimbursed, or how much it would cost and who would pay. More later on those minor details. It’s enough to know right now that he is throwing beads to the crowd like a clown on a Mardi Gras float.

    The ball is now in the court of the other pander-weasels to answer how they can promise as much for votes. It is an imperative in the D’rat Party to not get caught behind in the great pander race.

    I'm thinking Biden drank too much of that Sterno Joe mentioned a couple of posts above. From what I've seen of the rest of the pack, I'm thinking Biden has been sharing the Sterno with them.

    And the hits keep coming —

    Beto O’Rourke declares that the poor have a “right” to force the rich to have them live amongst them if that gets them closer to their work.

    https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2...lose-to-work-/

    It is still a bit unclear how and what force will be utilized to effectuate his relocation promise. He failed to mention as well, what efforts he will undertake to locate “the poor” into his neighborhood to be close to their housekeeping and lawn maintenance employment at his digs. Perhaps a hovel on his back forty somewhere out of sight.

    Lizzie Warren has come up with pander after pander, but she has now authored a new one for the ages — retroactive forced back pay increases for Illegal Aliens!

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...llegal-aliens/

    It is difficult to keep up with Warren’s panders, redistributions (spelled “t-h-i-e-f-t”) plans to command & control our lives. On first blush it is strange to think how such a pander would benefit her aimed at a non-voting constituency until you stop to realize it confirms that D’rats view illegal aliens as voters in reality and thus a true constituency.
