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.

“In about two or three months they will be screaming for Trump.”
These people already voted for Trump — by the hundreds of thousands. Then their votes were made null and void when truck loads of fake ballots were sneaked in to counting centers in the middle of the night.
We HAVE to get out of the mindset that voters and votes are “a thing” any more, because they aren’t. The only way to fix things is to end the cheating, and that won’t happen.
The Pathetic Pubbies BETTER start talking lessons from Demoncrats and learn to ACT FAST!! They are SLOW FOOTED and SLOE WITTED!

Took some time to write the letter. They get a participation trophy.

Invest in NG. It will go ballistic once shortages appear.

The GOP is the Linda Graham of political parties, all talk...

He sure did - that was some rousing defense of our election system those GOP guys made! All of them following DJT’s example by remaining silent in his defense - simply something to behold!
Losers & Posers
Yep!
The time was necessary so that they could get Harris-Biden clearance and a pat on the head...
Every one of the POS signees certainly belong on the "list"...
The GOP has no concept what the phrase “the Horse has left the Barn” means.
