We have one of our first feuds of 2021. And once again, it features a conservative lawmaker versus a Hollywood celebrity. It all started when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) shared his statement in opposition to one of President Biden's executive actions on Day One of his presidency – his decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement.

In his message, Sen. Cruz explains that bringing the U.S. back into the climate agreement will destroy thousands of jobs. Heritage Foundation studies have shown that re-entering the accord would cost us at least 400,000 American manufacturing jobs. In a sense, Cruz argues that Biden is choosing Paris over Pittsburgh. He also noted that the U.S. had already been leading the world in emissions reductions without the climate agreement.

If the Republicans don't demand that this is a treaty that requires 2/3rds support of the Senate for ratification, then they are complete idiots.

But then I repeat myself by putting 'Republicans in the Senate' and 'complete idiots' in the same sentence.

All the infantile Rogen can throw at Cruz is an expletive. That’s about how much the man can make an argument for his position.

And it is a treaty, which will not be submitted to the Senate, but everyone will pretend is valid just as if it had been and had been approved.

You may have missed the point of the rejoining to the Paris accords. It's not about meeting the emissions reductions, we are already doing that. It's all about the wealth redistribution from the United States to those poor little countries to get said countries off of fossil fuels.

Your taxpayer dollars "escaping" to other countries.

Seth Rogen.

Pothead.

All you need to know.

[joshua c]

Bingo! Uncle Sam is the moneybags. Paris accords collapsed when we left.

[dfwgator]

Two Canadians going at it.

Your would think the people of PA would have pushed the legislature harder to check the ballots. Trump won by 700,000 votes at 2 am. Only to have them steal it. I think biden screwed himself with the whole fracking ban before the election. Guess the steal is complete.

[rktman]

No, I understand it’s ‘dialing for dollars’. 😱💸😂🐂💩

If they don't, then it will "assume" the color of law. Agents, prosecutors, and judges will pretend that it *is* ratified and therefore law.

"Your taxpayer dollars "escaping" to other countries."

Not all of the US $$$ really escape for long.

They are recirculated through US organizations with tentacles in furrin' countries with some of the slo$h spilling back into the coffers of the US politicians.

Isn’t he the guy whose movies are all basically the same?

[Thank You Rush]

Typical of some FReepers also....that’s their fallback position - name calling and profanity!

[Ebenezer]

Rogen is still infantile, you know.

[Sans-Culotte]

Rogen is a has-been.

[rktman]

Why you.........

[Knocker]

More like ‘a never was.’

[bk1000]

Hey, the people have spoken. Biden’s their guy!

(Sarcasm)

[SMARTY]

What’s a Senate?
