From someone who is close to the energy sector that's simply not true. There's been so many EOs from Democrat presidents that cause hugely negative disruptions

From someone who is close to the energy sector that's simply not true. There's been so many EOs from Democrat presidents that cause hugely negative disruptions in the industry.

Weird that you felt the need to specify Democrats Is this something Republicans have simply never done until now?

  I was giving a specific example for one industry. Noting the political party was just a detail. But yeah plenty of examples of R presidents for other sectors in the past I'm sure too.

Can you give a few examples, please. Also, I'm curious, what you feel you're getting out of your support of the Trump regime?

  The first that comes to mind was the Keystone XL Pipeline. Biden cancelled it with EO 13990 when it was pretty much done. Would have been thousands of jobs, Canada wanted it too, it's safer than trucking/transporting by train. All just cancelled on a whim. Then there's EO 14008 that put a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and offshore waters. (fed land is 25% of oil production) Regardless of your position on oil (I'm sure you have one), the point is those are two examples of disruption of an industry by EO from a previous president.

    > The first that comes to mind was the Keystone XL Pipeline. > Biden cancelled it with EO 13990 when it was pretty much done. I'll admit to not being an expert on the Keystone XL Pipeline, but at least according to the timeline on wikipedia[1], the reason Biden was able to cancel it with an executive order was because Trump had approved it with an executive order, after people had tried and failed for years to get it approved the proper way (through the legislative and executive branches). And even when Trump personally tried to make it happen, there were still years of court battles stopping construction, so when Biden came into office and ended it, it was in fact not "pretty much done" but apparently 8% done[2] Seems like it again comes back to Trump just doing what he wants, and it was in fact him trying to unilaterally make it happen that caused that last four years or so of disruptions?
