AOC Reveals Why Young Voters Will Support Biden
Ocasio-Cortez, who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in his presidential run, told CNN’s “State Of The Union” that though Biden does not have the same views as she does, he will be more receptive to her ideas than President Donald Trump is.
“I believe that young people right now have a very disciplined activist mindset,” she said. “They are not here with the intent of voting for their favorite person or voting for, you know, someone they think is perfect as president.”

The “fracking” revolution has unleashed an incredible American energy boom over the past decade. America is now the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world, beating Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Fracking has contributed to an economic revival in areas of the country once in freefall. Pennsylvania is now second only to Texas in natural gas production, and Ohio is now fifth. This has reduced air pollution by displacing coal.
Joe Biden wants a counter-revolution, but he does not want you to know about it.
Candidate Joe Biden has sent mixed messages.
During the primary debates, Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, said they supported a fracking ban. Their campaign, however, insists that the Biden plan would ban fracking only on federal lands, not on private lands.

Fact checkers regularly parrot the talking point.
For the full picture, voters should take a look at Biden’s official clean energy plan. The Biden plan borrows the Green New Deal’s ambitious goal of a “carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.”
Burning natural gas—methane—inevitably emits carbon, so the Biden plan requires eliminating natural gas for electricity generation by 2035.
Electricity generation is the main use of natural gas. It accounts for a third of all natural gas, using 11 trillion cubic feet of gas per year and growing. That is almost twice the amount of natural gas produced in all of Pennsylvania last year.
Eliminating all this natural gas demand by 2035 would require idling countless natural gas wells and power plants, devastating local economies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and destroying many good jobs.
Without reliable natural gas electricity, states would experience California-like rolling blackouts.
This Green New Deal goal would never get congressional approval, but that may not matter.
Biden promises to achieve his clean energy goals by fiat, issuing executive orders of “unprecedented reach that go well beyond the Obama-Biden Administration platform.”
A Biden administration would move to achieve its goal of “carbon-free” electricity generation through an even more aggressive version of President Obama’s “Clean Power Plan” regulations.
RELATED: Biden Challenges Trump To Prove He Said He Would Ban Fracking – So Trump Did
This Clean Power Plan 2.0 would require utilities to idle, then dismantle, their natural gas power plants.
President Trump’s accusation that Joe Biden would ban fracking is therefore closer to the truth than the fact checkers care to admit.
It does not take a master’s degree in communications or journalism to realize that a ban on using natural gas is a ban on extracting it, whether through fracking or through ordinary drilling. That’s the Biden plan.
President Trump, for his part, has been crystal clear: if reelected, he will continue vigorously supporting America’s energy revolution, inexpensive energy, and jobs, as he has for four years.

Pitt Has Gotten Political Before
This is not the first time that Pitt has gotten political. While accepting his Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his work in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood earlier this year, Pitt shamelessly used his speech to rant about the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
After taking the stage to accept his award, Pitt attacked the Senate for not calling on former National Security adviser John Bolton as a witness.
“They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week,” Pitt said. “I’m thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it. In the end, the adults do the right thing.”

Despite Pitt’s speech, Trump was later acquitted by the Senate on all charges.
As a Hollywood star who has appeared in a wide variety of movies over the years, Pitt has fans on all sides of the political spectrum. It’s a shame that he feels the need to alienate millions of them by going political and blatantly catering to the liberal voting base.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-26--Hillary Clinton: Four More Years Of Trump Would Literally ‘Make Me Sick To My Stomach’

Hillary Clinton admits the very idea of a victory for President Trump on Election Day makes her literally “ sick to my stomach.
” Clinton , the former Secretary of State who lost to Trump in embarrassing fashion in 2016 , said the notion that he could win again is nauseating .
“ I can ’ t entertain the idea of him winning , so let ’ s just preface it by that , ” Clinton said in a podcast on the New York Times network with journalist Kara Swisher .
“ Well , because it makes me literally sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ d have four more years of this abuse and destruction of our institutions , and damaging of our norms and our values , and lessening of our leadership , and the list goes on.
” Abuse and destruction – some would say – have been an institution wholly owned by the Democrat party since Trump took office .

“ He knows more about how he got really elected than we still do .

’ “ I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from , ” Clinton alleged .
“ I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more votes.

During a virtual event on Sunday night , Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden seemed to confuse current President Donald Trump with former President George W. Bush .
For a moment he appeared to think he was running against Bush .
With wife Jill Biden by his side , the former vice president spoke with comedian George Lopez and CNN analyst Ana Navarro .
RELATED : The Media Couldn ’ t Protect Biden from Himself – Their Tricks Backfired And He Blew It Biden : ‘ Four More Years Of George , Uh , George , Uh , He , Uh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election will decide “ what kind of country we ’ re going to be.

” “ And the character of the country , in my view , is literally on the ballot , what kind of country we ’ re going to be , ” he added .
Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades backward .
“ Four more years of George , uh , George , uh , he , uh , ” Biden stammered .
Team Biden Is The ‘ Most Extensive And Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization In The History Of American Politics ’ He then corrected himself , saying we ’ re “ gon na find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we ’ re gon na be , we ’ re gon na be in a different world.
” Jill Biden didn ’ t react to her husband confusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one .
To make matters worse , Biden also said on Sunday that his campaign was the best at “ voter fraud.

During a virtual event on Sunday night, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden seemed to confuse current President Donald Trump with former President George W. Bush. For a moment he appeared to think he was running against Bush.
With wife Jill Biden by his side, the former vice president spoke with comedian George Lopez and CNN analyst Ana Navarro.

Biden: ‘Four More Years Of George, Uh, George, Uh, He, Uh’
Joe Biden told them that the election will decide “what kind of country we’re going to be.”
Biden said, “This is the most (consequential election), not because I’m running, but because who I’m running against, this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time.”
“And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot, what kind of country we’re going to be,” he added.
Then his mind seemed to move about two decades backward.
“Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh,” Biden stammered.

Team Biden Is The ‘Most Extensive And Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization In The History Of American Politics’
He then corrected himself, saying we’re “gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we’re gonna be, we’re gonna be in a different world.”
Jill Biden didn’t react to her husband confusing the current Republican president with the last one.
To make matters worse, Biden also said on Sunday that his campaign was the best at “voter fraud.”
