I don't know. I do know that Warren Buffet is a major share holder of the train company that is transporting all the oil now.

And the Republicans win because they don't do this. They embrace their ideology. Democrats shun it and turn right. That's what Al From did in 1985. HRC was right there in 1990. And that was a major contribution to our spiral rightward as the Republicans Contracted with America and it got worse from there.

Keep throwing the left under the bus and a George W. Bush clone will be the next Democratic Candidate and running against, well, Donald Trump. They may have maxed out in that direction. I hope.

he is/was an equity investor, don't know if he still is

its still a conflict on interest. not surprising this happened.

I don't think anything, that's the narrative that's been attached to that GIF clip. "Look how cruel Trump is, even during a celebration he turned and said something to her terrible enough to get this reaction." Which is not how it looks if you see that her smile was just a temporary face she put on when he turned to her. You're probably right that she hates him, I don't know or care either way. This GIF is trying to say more than that, though.

I read this thread purely for the schadenfreude.

And about that Melania gif. If anyone watched Trump's Oath of Office video you can clearly see how happy she was when she was holding the Bible.

Good idea on the Dems proposing their own infrastructure bill. Get Trump to sign up for even half of it and have him pound the GOP congresscriters into submission. I believe it could get passed.

I'd disagree. He's already shading his religious conviction by talking about 'responsibility' when it comes to abortion. In reality, it goes, for whatever reason, Christians decided that a soul enters the body at conception, therefor a fertilized egg is a person, therefore abortion is murder and should be outlawed. But since many people don't have that religious ontology religious people have to make up secular reasons for wanting to ban abortion like 'responsibility'.

That's evident when he starts talking about cases where the woman has no responsibility i. e when she's raped. Then magically the reason shifts to babies are gifts from God. He never really cared about responsibility itself, just adherence to a religious ontology.

This is what the BBC website says:



Who would the pipeline benefit?

The pipeline would benefit oil companies, shareholders and local governments. Dakota Access says the project will create between 8,000-12,000 jobs and generate $55m in annual property taxes.

The project could also be advantageous to President-elect Donald Trump, who has had stocks in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, the Dakota Access builder, and Phillips 66, which owns one-quarter of the pipeline.
Mr Trump, who supports the project, denies his policy is based on any financial interest.

Campaign finance records also show that Kelcy Warren, the CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, donated more than $100,000 (£80,437) to Mr Trump's presidential campaign.

Farmers could also benefit. North Dakota's crude oil is currently shipped out by train which has caused congestion and rail delays, slowing the shipment of grain and increasing grain prices.

That image actually says "January 21st". Lol. Probably an alternative fact, too.

OMG I couldn't have imagined that anyone would have thought that.

No one posting it thinks that's what happened.

LOL.

It's just that she looks like she hates him and can't stand his face. He was just smiling at her, which apparently depresses the hell out of her.

Who is saying Trump is being cruel by turning around and saying something? She's not smiling, he turns around, she fake smiles, he turns back around, she stops smiling. What am I missing?

So what's going to happen w/ the Dakota Pipeline? You know the Native Americans up there ain't gonna move.

Some of them will get shot. Some of them will be in prison for many years. And some people will laugh at them.

haha, yeah for real, **** those Native Americans and their drinking water. lolololololo

They can move to Flint if they don't like it.

Haven't had this much schadenfrude since the Flint water crisis! Trump 2020!

Sean Spicer will be unbelievable for ratings of the white house press briefings. I am hooked

We'll probably deploy some planes or drones to menace them, maybe try to goad them into throwing a rock at an aircraft so we can bring in an A-10 or something.

Trump's candidacy had nothing to do with conservative ideology. He promised free ponies out the wazoo. As we now know - Republicans have zero ideology. The entire right-wing movement can be summed up as "stick it to libtards". Twas always thus, we just didn't realize it.

Republicans win because olds always vote and they vote overwhelmingly for anyone with an (R) in front of their name. That firewall proved to be stronger than the Clinton firewall.

They better get out of the road. Seriously you guys in CA think it's bad try living in these areas.



Bill would protect drivers from legal consequences if they inadvertently hit, injure or kill pedestrians who are obstructing traffic.

Hopefully you can make a distinction between me mocking Jill Stein/ex Bernie supporters who threw the election to Trump and the people actually affected by DAPL. Come on man.

It should be known a Champstark's Law that anything he prefaces with "wait, you guys actually support ______" is something he's wildly wrong on. Those people weren't going to stop Trump getting elected, dude, and it's kind of destructive to go around after the election like "aahhhhh Trump won, I guess liberals should stop doing anything good that might have slighted conservatives the wrong way".

There are ex Delta ops there from a private security firm overseeing everything and already hack everyone's phone with flyovers. My friend is native and was there for a bit and I have friends that have protested there. They are just itching to beat some people down.

At the charity roast dinner the two seemed to be quite affectionate towrds one another.

So I'm confused about the pipeline. Didn't army engineers say they needed an environmental impact study done before construction could resume again? Can trump really just get around that with an executive order?

Also I thought republicans hated executive orders?
