I couldn't say one way or the other if Biden is or isn't a pedo, same with other politicians. It doesn't surprise me when one of them gets caught though. There are some real freaks in government.

Let me pose a question to you, how do you know he isn't a pedo? Same question for anyone who wants to talk about Trump. Joe is up there massaging and sniffing women and children during press conferences and I've seen the Epstein and Trump pictures. Maybe Joe just had a cold and was making sure he could still smell, maybe Trump just picked the wrong guy to take a picture with. We don't know. It certainly doesn't mean that they are pedos, but it's bad optics at best. At worst...

50 years ago anybody who accused the Catholic Church of being filled with pedo priests and bishops would have been considered the Qberts of their time. Now it's all over the mainstream news, scandal after scandal. Another example, Dennis Hastert, U.S. Speaker of the House during the George W Bush admin, went to prison for molesting children. I HIGHLY doubt that Dennis Hastert was/is the only pedo politician in U.S. history. Don't you?

On Hastert:

On June 2, 2015, current Federal Housing Finance Agency director and former U.S. Representative Mel Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, released a statement saying:
"...It would not be the first nor last time that I, as a Member of Congress, would hear rumors or innuendoes about colleagues. I had no direct knowledge of any abuse by former Speaker Hastert and, therefore, took no action...[163] " (Wikipedia)

So, it's not unheard of for powerful people and entities, who are respected and trusted in the community, to abuse their power in that way. Is is systemic? Who really knows.

I am 100% with you on the degree of mental illness in D.C.
You would think that some of them could espouse that Trump is the Messiah.

Just 'mutant parrots'🦜 chripin 🦜

I’m picturing you pointing to your colon...

you made my building anguish dissipate...HA!

just remembered Gilda Radner's rant about "pippaleenie" oh..."pipeline...never mind..."

So how exactly do you go about worshipping satan?

For someone like me... who thinks no such being exists, it's kind of hard to wrap my head around someone worshipping it.

Edit:

And further, you're claiming he's a pedophile... is he a lizard people too?

Wait, don't answer that.

Sorry, rice is a big source of co2 emissions. Gotta stop that.

and arsenic...but I still eat rice sometimes.
Hell, I still buy Goya products, so what do I know about being progressive?

Factor in the lost jobs Canada had tied to this as well.

Just like I said in a post linked here YEARS ago...this is a win for China (which will be getting the product from Alberta) and Warren Buffett (who purchased railroads years ago) so this is another quid pro quo.

Q parrots 🦜 and climate crisis alarmists

Rice farming consumes CO2, rice is a water grass, a plant, plants make their own food, CO2 is one of the critical raw materials that plants need for photosynthesis to make their food and yours. Plants excrete O2 as a waste product of their metabolic cycle, good for people that like breathing.
Rice farming being a water culture naturally produces more methane from decaying vegetation under the water.
Nature is a chemical factory, it produces lots of stuff—deal with it.

The Union of Concerned Scientists, far leftist climate crisis doom and gloomer profiteers and political lobbyist insiders pushing an anti-capitalist agenda. Beats working at an honest job for a living I guess.

Been reading quite a bit about this lately to try to get a better understanding of the facts and the politics. Mostly source documents such as TCs study vs some “independent “ studies. Both indicate there will be spills incidentally it’s just a matter of scope and number.

The eminent domain issues were interesting as well.

Berkshire Hathaway is an interesting company. As is Koch industries who has their own interests in mind. That’s certainly part of the politics. Looks like at least ConocoPhillips no longer is involved. Hathaway may have 25% share in competing interests but who has an interest directly in this?

I honestly don’t know where I fall yet. I guess I’m not a good jet or shark. I’ll keep reading but never know as much as some folks that really work with this stuff. Don’t care about the left wing or right wing news or pundits though. Don’t really care what they want me to think.

ConocoPhillips already got their coin

I’m going to keep digging to learn more directly before I settle. Y’all do what you want but I’m not interested in some of the biased articles and opinion pieces from the left or right. Equally bunk.

I wouldn’t waste the time. Keystone XL is dead. Biden isn’t asking for anyone’s opinion.

The last part summed it up well:

What is XL something like phase 5 and the other 4 phases are complete.

Seems to me like the issue is a bit inflated by both sides.

The truth is it is cancelled. That’s all the truth that is needed.

It’s a fence post junket.

Prolly more useful to study the ramifications of global warming and the ill fated journey of the Titanic.

Well let me know how your fact finding journey goes.

Spoiler alert: It is cancelled for at least four years unless we can figure out how to ship Chinese solar panels through it!

Lol. It’s been going on longer than 4 so it very well could still have life.

Learning is bad because nothing I learn could ever apply later or help me understand people’s histrionics. I need to stop learning and just blindly pick a side or like you pick the one that is winning at the time lol.

How can an American president HALT CONSTRUCTION IN CANADA???

I SAY ...KEEP building the thing in Canada and make a dock in Canada on a great lake.

Then tanker it over to the U.S. AND UNLOAD IT in America somewhere...

Why just abandon a half or two thirds completed pipeline?

" Today I'm directing my administration to cut through the red tape, break through the bureaucratic hurdles, and make the XL Pipeline a priority, to go ahead and get it done.

Note: I am not a fan of the Oil and Gas industry and believe where we can use renewable energy we should but we can't and won't do without it for our lifetime unless there are technical breakthroughs not on the table at present.

All I know is without phase 5 of the pipeline we all are going to die.

Do t worry trump will make him throw it up.
