Yeah, Buffet has a lot of friends in politics.

lol, Biden is a clown. First order of business was to cancel a project that invested billions and screw over a bunch of jobs for a 90 year old donor.

From a policy perspective, revoking the permit for Keystone has many drawbacks, not least of which is the loss of 11,000 well-paying blue-collar jobs for Americans and Canadians. Given these layoffs, Biden’s famous argument in a recent Foreign Affairs article that the United States needed a ‘foreign policy for the middle class’ is tragically laughable. Killing the pipeline is of course not a national but a globalist priority. It makes America less energy independent and has obvious adverse foreign policy consequences for the US given recent Middle East wars (fought by America’s middle class).

Republican critics of the President will undoubtedly make these policy arguments, so there is no need to belabor them. What has gone unremarked about the decision, however, is the poor process: Biden unilaterally torpedoed the pipeline without so much as a phone call to our Canadian ally which views the pipeline as a very important joint US-Canadian initiative. Biden called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after the Keystone decision had been announced. Alberta premier Jason Kenney called the decision ‘an insult directed at the United States’s most important ally and trading partner’. Kenney was also dismayed that the US did not even consult with Canada before making such an important decision. Prime Minister Trudeau also expressed his ‘disappointment’ about the decision.

Not a clown, more like a Bond villain. Biden does not need the support of blue collar workers while "Dominion" type systems along with mail-in balloting are in place. What Biden needs is the support of Oligarchs like Buffett, the technocrats, government employees and the Press. Cancelling Keystone buys Buffett, while the technos, gov paycheck collectors, and the Press like the "green" virtue signaling of claiming pro-environment. If you lose the Oligarchs, techies, and Press you will no longer be able to pull of a major election steal.

The Alberta Tar Sands - One giant environmental clean up project.
You remove the oil de-contaminating the soil. The mining tailings are sandy earth free of oil. So the tar sands and keystone oil pipeline are green energy programs.
