Biden uses 72-year-old law to give Trump a slap in the face before MAGA 2.0
Biden uses 72-year-old law to give Trump a slap in the face before MAGA 2.0
The White House move could create a roadblock to one of President-elect Trump’s major plans.
Summary
President Joe Biden invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect 625 million acres of U.S. offshore waters from future oil and gas drilling, blocking areas along the East and West coasts, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska's North Bering Sea.
The move aims to prevent environmental damage and hinder Donald Trump’s plans to expand fossil fuel production upon returning to office.
Trump allies and the oil industry criticized the decision as politically motivated, while Biden emphasized bipartisan support for protecting coastal regions.
You're viewing a single thread.
With that headline, I expected Biden to go get an old volume of the Congressional Record out of the Archives and thwap Trump on the nose with it.
Biden isn't doing shit tho...
Like, his aides have said, Chris Clizza even admitted it.
He shuffles around and his aides handle everything.
We could tell the last few years, but it's been a couple weeks now since people in his admin/party started admitting it. So it's weird to still see headlines pretending like Biden is actually doing anything besides his best Ronald Reagan impression.
You just described delegation, one of the more critical leadership qualities one would hope to find in a president.
You're not supposed to delegate everything.
If he was going to delegate literally everything then what do we need a president for exactly? Lets cancel the office and save that money.
