Traitors to the planet and the world community

 

When I first read it, I found this article hard to believe.

Then, when I realized who was involved, I found it all to easy to believe.

Senator Lindsey Graham seeks to betray the world by trying to block the ability of President Biden to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.  And Senator Ted Cruz seeks to betray the world community by trying to block the ability of President Biden to attempt to establish (or reestablish) a nuclear agreement with Iran.  Unlike the Paris Climate Acccord, some of the Iranians are trying to block it too.  But nobody is standing in the way of rejoining the accord except some obstinate American Republicans.

Senior Republicans Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz seek to sabotage Biden plan to rejoin Paris and Iran agreements, report says

Simply put, and as we've known for quite awhile, they're scum.  And they keep demonstrating the truth of that identity.

"In a letter obtained by RealClearPolitics, Mr Cruz, from Texas, urged Mr Trump and US secretary of state Mike Pompeo to submit the accords to the Senate before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on 20 January."

Link to the letter

"South Carolina senator Mr Graham added: “The Senate should go on the record about whether it would support or oppose this decision. “Also believe Senate should be on record in support or opposition to any decision to reenter Paris climate accord.” "

The problem with that is that by reclassifying these agreements as treaties, it goes beyond the Senate just going on the record as to whether they support or oppose the decision.  They can do that anytime.  But actually blocking a President from taking action by changing the rules of the game -- that's dirty. 

I mean, that's Republican.
