By the time the dust settles on this new administration white collar and blue collar workers will be praying that we were back in those crazy Trump years. I already am. Shame on you if you voted for this new train wreck.

Surprised to see Trudeau, who is the world’s biggest pusillanimous, in favor of the pipeline.

I get the environmental concerns but also don’t want to see jobs killed.

I hope Biden’s action is just taking a hard stance in the beginning of a negotiation to move the project forward with compromises from both sides.

Biden is just bowing to the hard leftists. Doesn't matter whether it makes any sense.

Biden is a lot more likely to bow to Republicans and moderates than “hard leftists”, that’s kinda the thing he ran on.

Biden is definitely more moderate than Harris. For as long as he is in office.
Well yeah, but even Kamala isn’t that “hard left”, she only talks the talk. She’s not on the level of The Squad despite looking the part.

It’s a convenient narrative for the right to think that the hard progressive left is secretly running things behind the scenes, but they’re not. The Squad wouldn’t even use their speaker of the house vote to leverage a vote on Medicare For All, which is something they all ran on and is their main issue. They have very little political power right now, just media attention.

Everything that’s going to pass the Senate has to be ok with Joe Manchin. For some reason republicans don’t focus on him they focus on the new House members that don’t have enough votes to make much difference.

Joe Manchin, the guy who last week called for Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to resign..... only a fool believes that guy is a stop to Democrat radicalism.

It's actually a good thing because with the increase in electrical utility rates that should put more money in the pockets of electricity truck haulers.

Manchin pretends to be a moderate because he is in a mostly conservative state but still reliably votes with the liberals. Actions matter more than words.
