I've suggested in a number of previous diaries that the Biden administration doesn't really have a climate change policy. The reasons for this lack of a policy are obvious: the Biden administration is sold out to oil interests, whose main concern is that the owning class that controls them, both Biden administration and owning class being Powers That Be, be allowed full rights of kingship on a dead planet.

Back in 2018, after Trump bombed Syria, Congress proposed an AUMF for our military occupation and efforts at regime change in that nation. Nancy Pelosi insisted that an AUMF was necessary if we wanted to continue to bomb Syria.

Certainly there is a lot in common with 2008, but there is even more that is different, and it doesn't take much to see it.

However somebody had reason to celebrate Tuesday. Socialists.

If there's one thing we know for certain, the Democratic party establishment only knows how to punch left and punch down.
This is what they learned from their ass kicking in 2010.

And this is what they learned from their ass kicking in 2016.

It's still not over, so this trend could be interrupted, but I noticed something that the media isn't reporting - only right-wing Democrats are losing.

Another Democratic strategist summed it up this way: “It’s catastrophic.”

We all know the GOP is the party of Big Business.
This one party has pushed through almost all the largest and most significant deregulation and dereform bills of the last few decades.
Just look at how they bent over backwards for Big Business.
