Seriously - what did they think he was going to do?

Shot: UNITED ASSOCIATION OF UNION PLUMBERS AND PIPEFITTERS ENDORSES VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT
Chaser: KEYSTONE XL DECISION WILL RAISE ENERGY COSTS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES

The Shot is from Monday, August 17, 2020, the Chaser from Monday, January 18, 2021 - amazing what five months will do to a person's outlook.

Biden was never ever not going to shut this down.  Doing so gives him cred with the environmental activisits as well as putting some money into Warren Buffet's pockets.  The oil is going to move regardless and moving it on Buffet's railroads is a lot more expensive.  Guess who profits? Guess who loses?
