A group of Republican senators are taking steps to block President Joe Biden’s executive actions to rejoin the Paris climate agreement and revoke a permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) alongside other senators from central and western states said on Wednesday that they plan to introduce legislation to allow the Keystone XL Pipeline to continue construction. The senators will also put forward a resolution to urge Biden to submit the Paris climate agreement to the Senate for advice and consent before rejoining the treaty.
Revoking permits for the Keystone XL Pipeline undercuts a serious infrastructure project, renewable energy growth, and rail relief for grain. This admin can’t ask for unity & bipartisanship one minute but continue to push bad left-wing policy the next.

Their announcements come after Biden took actions to roll back former President Donald Trump’s decisions to withdraw from the Obama-era United Nations treaty and grant a permit to allow for the construction of the oil pipeline system that traverses through the U.S.-Canada border. Trump had previously criticized the Paris agreement for negatively impacting the U.S. economy and unbalanced standards between nations.
Similarly, the former president’s granting for the Keystone permit broke a decade-long stalemate in Congress and court litigation that stalled the construction of the oil pipeline system. The pipeline would ship crude oil from tar sands in western Canada across the continent to the Gulf Coast of the United States. It was a frequent target of environmentalists, who physically attempted to block its construction, but also supported by many for the jobs and energy security it could bring to America.
These day one executive actions have been widely criticized by Republican lawmakers and experts warning about the “devastating economic consequences” they could bring.

At the least they should add this to the Biden impeachment resolution....
Signing a treaty without the “advise and consent” of the US Senate is treason, and an impeachable offense.
Of course the treaty is treasonous even if the Senate agreed to it—they would just be more traitors.
“If the Republicans got off the freetraitor bandwagon”
Not going to happen. They have far too much dirty laundry. They owe far too many people far too much. This is why The Swamp was so very afraid of Donald Trump. He owed no lobbyists anything. He could not be bribed. Because he was not corruptible.
His decades of business proved this beyond doubt. He never ever in decades of business dealings ever caved to a shakedown. He spent far more defending himself than he would have paid to cave.
He spoke about this during his rallies leading up to his election. His books detail this fact quite extensively.
After 5 years of a Deep State and Media anal exam, they came up empty.
Rush Limbaugh stated quite accurately that President Trump is the cleanest man to ever hold that office.
So, Election Fraud was the last resort to get rid of the man. The Dems perpetrated it and the Republican Establishment and, corrupt state gov’ts helped. Along with corrupt courts that refused to give the man his day in court.
ROFL 🤣
That is called black comedy...
Only a doped-up moron would write a title like that!
He lied like a dog during his dirty campaign saying he wasn’t going to ban fracking and they called Trump a liar. I don’t see how these people get up in the am. Sickos
Trump could not rescind Hussein’s executive orders, but Biden can rescind Trump’s.@@@@@@@
Has anyone sued before a “Friendly” Federal judge to get a ruling stopping the Executive Order change? That’s what the Dems always do......
WWG1WGA! Until Atlas Shruggs......
[[Tough guys now.]]
Yeah, they are real tough- they are gonna ask him politely to reconsider
I dunno what state your from but if you are in a energy state like the mid west, I would get on the horn with my reps and tell them to get with it and demand a vote on secession OR nullification.
They need to understand that those states are going to lose a hell of a lot of revenue if this pr#ck Biden keeps it up.
[[Among them are 8,000 Union Workers.]]
And yet unions still overwhelmingly vote democrat-
Those same unions look to have endorsed biden.
I fail to see why they are upset now. They got their guy.
I understand why the rank and file is upset. But the bosses making the endorsements got exactly who they wanted
It was endless GOPe kabuki BOOM, BOMBSHELL, POW crap the last four years. Not one of the treacherous traitors was held to account. Not one. It was all for show to keep the rubes entertained and keep the pitchforks in the tool shed.
Da fuq happened to Tune?
Get a fresh shipment of nuts from McMaster-Carr?
Guess what, Washington D.C.? NO ONE trusts you. Even CNN reports that 30 percent of Democrats (it's likely many more) think the election was stolen.
Have fun "governing" when more than half the country is on to you.
Bkmk
If the republicans have any spine they will just go find a Trump appointed judge to over rule everything just like the democrats do....
One can hope.....
Correct. The Republicans are simply playing their role of minority party assigned them by the oligarchy. All to convince us rubes we have a voice in the system. As the 2020 election demonstrated writ large, the oligarchs are firmly in charge of our Republic.
Well said.
11,000 people were notified of layoffs. Among them are 8,000 Union Workers.

Step 1 in OUR favor.
Next ‘we’ have to push the ‘YOU got what you wanted’ when gas at the pump hits 5.009 per gallon
AND
The ‘working’ class is replaced by ‘caravan dwellers’
AND
Price of goods/deliveries/groceries goes up to offset the 5.009 gas/diesel prices WITHOUT the gas station owners, delivery drivers/employees getting compensated.
AND
Anyone else notice that the ???????????????????? stimulus is off the front burner?
AND
Lets watch DC and PR ‘moan and groan’ about statehood while the Ds sit back and wait to lose a bit of power so they can use it as a tool.
The beat goes on and on and on and on
The Pathetic Pubbies BETTER start talking lessons from Demoncrats and learn to ACT FAST!! They are SLOW FOOTED and SLOE WITTED!
“Republican Senators Take Action”......
About the only action they take is the morning dump. Useless little quislings....
“Ha-rumpf...Ha-rumpf!!”
