Because it will lower the cost of Canadian oil which makes Russian and Saudi Arabia less competitive. The pipeline people were willing to offset emissions but nobody cared. The oil will still come by rail, but it will be more expensive, especially for export from NA.
So that makes them 200% effective...because any spread has been blamed on people not wearing masks. Another thought...if they are not 100% effective then maybe the spread is because people felt they were protected and didn't take other precautions...like staying away from people coughing up a lung in their mask.
If the counties run the elections and Rs run the county they should be able to force fair elections in these counties. If you do your redistricting right, you make solid D state rep and state senate districts in those corrupt counties so they don't impact other, competive elections. Now you can get and keep R control of the state legislature and pass the election reform laws. Your challenge is the state wide races that the corrupt counties can swing, like Gov and Secretary of State. The legislatures have to fight and sue to get their laws enforced.
Scary how much control they have if they can freeze individuals out of the banking system. I mean Trump can throw cash in a brokerage account somewhere, he doesn't need an FDIC insured account. But what happens to the rest of us when we are all labeled domestic terrorists?
The R Senators up for election in 2022 would not risk it. But some might decide to retire and not care (or figure they can get a payoff after they leave) Senators four years out have less risk and might hope people forget by then. Now McConnell might be playing a game...he delayed the vote so now it might be unconstitutional. He could have done it in the last congress with an emergency session. He might might, come out for impeachment so the Dems can't hold the Capitol protests over him as an issue while knowing there aren't the votes for impeachment. This is his last term so he doesn't worry about reelection. Or he wants Trump banned from running so another R can get the nomination next time (Romney, Jeb, etc).
She's not part of the "in group". And didn't she wack Harris during the debates? She knows she is on their hit list.
