Democrats Are Desperate To Focus On Anything But Their Agenda

 

Squabbling Over Covid Relief And Getting Defensive About Job Losses, Democrats Return To Their Favorite Distraction: Attacking President Trump

 _____________­­____________­__

CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS HAVE SHIFTED FOCUS BACK TO THEIR FAVORITE SUBJECT THIS WEEK: FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

Joe Biden may claim he is focused on his agenda but Democrats in Congress don’t seem to have gotten the memo, as they continue to focus on their vendetta against President Trump.

Democrats who have “struggled for years” to find a way to remove President Trump will try one more time this week as the sham impeachment trial continues to unfold in the Senate.

THE SHIFT IN FOCUS IS WELL TIMED FOR BIDEN, WHOSE ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO DUCK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF AMERICAN WORKERS HURT BY THEIR POLICIES

Biden officials have brushed aside concerns about the hordes of American workers that will be left without jobs because of their policies:

White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, “mocked” a reporter who questioned her on where the thousands of workers out of a job because of Biden’s executive actions could get the green jobs they were promised.

Biden’s Energy Secretary nominee Jennifer Granholm conceded that there are “jobs that might be sacrificed” because of Biden’s climate policies

Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, dismissed concerns about job losses saying, it’s “what needs to be done.”

President Biden struck a serious blow to American Energy when he directed federal agencies to determine how expansive a ban on new oil and gas leasing on federal land should be, the first step in implementing his proposed ban.

The new clampdown goes further than Biden’s actions on Inauguration Day, which halted the Interior Department and other agencies’ authority to issue drilling leases or permits for 60 days.

Biden’s ban would kill nearly a million jobs by 2022.

This is in addition to President Biden’s previous order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline.

By killing the project, Biden will eliminate about 11,000 U.S. jobs, including 8,000 union jobs.

Workers across the country are already being impacted by Biden’s job-killing agenda: one laid-off Keystone worker spoke out saying the decision to cancel the pipeline “is going to hurt a lot of people.”

“Hundreds” of workers in Wisconsin were laid off almost immediately after Biden signed the order canceling construction on the pipeline.

The United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters slammed the decision in a statement saying, “Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work.”

Additionally, on President Biden’s very first day in office, be began the 30-day process to rejoin the disastrous Paris Climate Agreement.

Economists estimate that the agreement will cost the U.S. economy millions of jobs over the next decade.

Biden has also vowed to push for standalone legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15.

An analysis by the Congressional Budget Office would cost 1.4 million jobs and increase the deficit by $54 billion over 10 years.

DEMOCRATS WOULD RATHER KEEP THE FOCUS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP THAN DELIVER COVID RELIEF FOR AMERICANS

Democrats are “yearning to act boldly on coronavirus aid” and Joe Biden told House Democrats “We need to act. We need to act fast.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has described both COVID relief and the impeachment of President Trump as “urgent,” but her decision to proceed with impeachment first  makes it clear where Democrat priorities lay.

While Democrats have sped ahead with their impeachment sham, the COVID relief package remains stuck in congress.

Democrats are “increasingly divided over the criteria for the next round of stimulus payments, splintering the caucus even as they aim to quickly pass” the relief package.

Key House Democrats have indicated that a bill could be done by mid-march, long after the impeachment trial will be concluded.

Now, Democrats must “juggle work between the new President's policies and the former president's impeachment trial.”
