Heh, well sure these pipelines are horribly maintained, and the industry buys out politicians to ensure a minimal amount of inspectors for them, but at least with KXL the American taxpayer is on the hook for clean up costs rather than the corporations as is usually the case. Winning!

Those tar sands hitting the market mean a minimum of an additional 2 deg C being added to the atmosphere. And how does that affect the climate change we're already paying through the nose for? And who pays the most in those situations? A culture war pissing match turned effort to preserve a few thousand jobs vs. >20 trillion in renewable energy infrastructure money up for grabs, my god you people are dumb.

Sounds like Team Treason could use the assistance of another "Trust the science" sign to me. Maybe another run down on math too.

The pipeline is better and safer than transport by rail and barges. Less accidents, less of a carbon footprint. Biden is going to kill energy jobs in this country, no doubt about it.

That said, I doubt Biden has enough brain activity and focus to have authored these executive orders so far. I have long said he's a puppet, controlled by ideologues and this is going to become much more apparent in the coming months. They write and he rubber stamps what his handlers tell him to. You know it's bad when some Dems are saying he should not have sole access to the nuclear football.

We're losing the border, which was doing much better.
Now we're bombing Syria.
America last is back.
Leadership from behind is back.
Appeasement is back.
Security through strength is gone.
We look weak, foreign countries smell it and are testing us.

We're headed for more wars, an economy in shambles, etc.
They're trying to pass a partisan COVID relief plan of 1.9 Trillion, where only around 9-10% is about actual COVID relief, and more about bailing out the blue states that were irresponsible on everything to riot control to COVID management. It's full of way more pork than we should be financing.

Apparently they feel focusing on LGBTQ equality rights is a more pressing issue than aid to American families who are struggling. Everything is so upside down.

While the left may hate Trump, he was doing a lot of things much better for the country than Biden. Biden will turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes the voters ever made. What will be left of the country will be the evidence of this.

You people live in an alternate universe - which is why Trumpers are so so so evil.

Always funny seeing people like the OP parade politics as the substitute for religion. That the figure they crown is some Jesus.

He was Obama's Vice President.

Why are you surprised?

Why does he need to listen to the "right people' when the "wrong people" are the ones that matter for his political life after he takes office?

1) Trump bombed Syria too.
2) the idea that 9-10% of the COVID relief bill is for COVID is a lie.
3) many of the states getting funding are red, such as Florida and Texas.

You are delusional.

And dangerous. These people are into kidnapping governors, violent insurrections and trying to nullify clear election results.

Oh if only maga cultists could practice safe sects. I want to be able to ignore them like I do scientologists.

Because as his VP he undoubtedly has an effect on Biden?

You can also find various articles at different various points in time where he is actively still involved in the administration and their strategy.


Again, you're just playing 4D chess to try and declare anything that has a slightly-darker tone skin character in it to have racist intentions when it's anything but. When all you're trained to do is see racism all-day, every day, you're going to continue to self-delusion yourself into seeing it even when it just clearly isn't there.
I'm not trained in anything but I did once pay a lot of attention to how to prove what I believed to be the truth the truth. That led me to the amateur observation that the saying blind as a bigot has a particularly interesting psychological foundation. It turns out, and of course this is just that amateur observation I mentioned and thus only my own personal opinion, that a bigot is blind because he or she holds unexamined assumptions that equate the fact there really is such a thing as the good with whatever the assumption holder has been programmed to believe that good really is and it is the programming, not the real good, that is the lie. Thus a bigot can't give up his or her bigotry because the feeling is that if the bigot is wrong there is no good and no real truth that is good either. And that is something that no person who believes in the good can do. When you know the there is truth and that the truth is good, you will never let go of it, nor should you. But what you have been conditioned to regard as the truth, that is the lie. That is only an accident.

So let us take racism as an example. Superior is better than inferior. Good is superior to evil. This is indisputable for anyone who is trapped in the duality of language. Now to this we add to that the implanted racist belief that some people are inferior to others based on color. Now we have the situation that if people of color are as good as anybody else there is no such thing as the truth. A racist bigot will never see he has made a connection between what is good and what is evil because it will throw them into hopelessness and despair that there is no truth and no such thing as the good. I discovered this to be the truth in my amateur way because this is exactly what happened to me.

I offer you this because, again in my amateur opinion, you don't strike me as manifesting the kind of mental humility that comes with someone who has died to a lot of their sacred cows.

Issues I have with new president Joe Biden.

He killed the pipeline. As a believer in the environment and protecting the environment, shutting down the pipeline was a bad idea. We have oil that must be delivered to the gulf, then shipped away. The pipeline would do that with minimal environmental impact. However now, that oil will still make way to the gulf but rather than thru a pipeline that same oil will rely on giant oil tankers traveling from north to south to deliver that messy oil. And the chances of leakage, sinking, and spilling oil into the ocean will greatly increase. Bad Joe... bad.

And then we have illegal immigration. Despite your political affiliations, Americans prefer that illegal immigration to be controlled to some point. Having immigrants wait in Mexico while applying for asylum was the correct thing to do. Allowing immigrants into America while applying for asylum and while waiting for an answer was the wrong thing to do. Come-on Joe, you should know better.

War..... One thing I did like about Donald Trump, about the only thing I liked, was that Donald Trump was not a Warhawk. Several times the military forces tried to drag Trump into military operations abroad and time after time Donald Trump resisted. But now??? Here we are barely weeks into a Biden administration and America is at it again, getting involved in the middle east with military operations. I don’t care if you liked Trump or hated Trump during the past four years, however one thing that I know for sure, Americans enjoyed NOT hearing about the Middle East or of military involvement and especially new military engagements. Seriously Joe, you want to go there AGAIN? To begin those years of troops and bombs and engagement all over again? WTF is wrong with you? Seriously. Americans learned their lesson the hard way, why haven’t you?

Don’t get me wrong, I am glad that Joe Biden was elected. I am rejoicing that Donald Trump is no longer president. But so far Joe Biden is doing exactly what I feared he might do. And I definitely believe Joe Biden is listening to the wrong people. War is never popular. America policing the world was never popular. When huge messy leaky oil tankers can be limited or reduced by one single pipeline, that is a good thing for the environment. It is easier to fix an oil leak on a pipe above ground than to stop tons of oil leaking out of some sunken tanker miles below the oceans surface. And it is desirable to have some immigrant wait outside of the border instead of inside the border when applying for asylum. When you let someone inside the border they do tend to disappear while waiting for that application answer. We all know what got Donald Trump elected in 2016, and why Democrats, good loyal Democrats, crossed over to vote for Trump. It could easily happen again.
Oil no matter where spilled is a long and complicated cleanup. In 2010 a spill in the Kalamazoo River to this day isn't fully cleaned up. His focus on alternative/renewable energy is far more important then cancelling some pipeline.

I have no problem with asylum seekers not being allowed into the country but Trump took resources away agencies that processes their claims. Let's fully fund the immigration courts so cases can move more quickly.

On immigration AFAIK the only thing Biden has done so far is to release the hold on legal immigration. Yes control the borders but we can't control white boys from West Va which pose a far greater threat then brown people trying to get into the US for a better life.

On the Biden air strike it was a response to attacks against US troops and other personnel in Iraq. They are already there and must be protected. Do you want a Trump response where a bounties are put on our troops and there is no response? If Biden started a new conflict I'd be right there with you. If the rationale for the response turns out to be invalid, that is a different story.

He's been in office for a little over a month. I'd give him a break for now.

Cool story, bro - so you have nothing as predicted.

What "first point" did you make? That you proclaim to work in the industry? You think thats a point?
Everyone feel free not to answer any of this assholes questions. He constantly levels accusations and when asked to back them up goes silent. Troll 101

A number of us are still waiting for his answer what Neera Tanden did that was corrupt.

Crickets.

I personally think we should withdraw from the middle east entirely and not bomb anyone there unless they bomb us here but no matter what I think he's complaining about Biden bombing targets in Syria when Trump did the exact same thing. Hypocritical.

Aaannnnd, we just dropped some bombs on Syria. But they're Dem bombs so it's ok.

Guess it's still a good idea to leave this group be. Still festering in its own bile.

I would suck his dick if he could officially get us out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Donald kinda sorta put in a half assed effort it never happened.

Not saying that at all but we do need to protect the troops that were there before Biden.

lol no you don't work in the industry - because if you did you wouldn't make such stupid statements regarding pipelines and perhaps might have half a clue of what you're talking about - hence why you did nothing to refute all the points I made.

Continuing looking stupid though if it pleases you.

wait, so now you work in the oil industry? lol. sure.

or do you think being a "contracted CPA" in the oil industry qualifies you for commenting on the logistics of pipeline infrastructure and environmental impact assessment?
