100k for a pipeline

[Tommy Tainant]

The cost of doing business in Trumps America.

Donald Trump finally weighed in on the Dakota Access pipeline—and it's not good

 

[FA_Q2]

Not good because?

 

[owebo]

I can't wait until Trump gets that project finished....as well as the keystone pipeline.....

 

[BluesLegend]

The protestors were told to leave, since they refused arrest them and remove them by force. Restore law and order.

 

[tinydancer]

The protest is a sham. The ultimate goal is not to stop the pipeline but to put a halt to Bakken production entirely.

It's the new face of the "leave it in the ground for the sake of the planet and climate change" movement.

AKA total bullshit.

An FYI. The pipeline does not cross the reservation.

The Standing Rock Sioux claim that the pipeline will affect their water supply. Wanna see how full of shit they and the other protestors are?

Their water supply will be 70 yes count em SEVENTY miles away. AND this bullshit the tribal protestors are handing everyone is heightened by this little known fact that most of the media doesn't want to tell as part of their narrative of "poor Indians are going to have their water supply destroyed".

They got 30 million for a new water treatment plant. Lying sons of bitches that their water supply is threatened.




"The Sioux received about $30 million from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to build a new water treatment plant, pump station, 5 million-gallon storage tank and several pipelines to feed fresh water to roughly 10,000 reservation residents.

The project has taken years to complete, but federal officials say the timeline was not affected by the Dakota Access controversy.

The existing intake valve is located in a shallow part of the Missouri River near Fort Yates, North Dakota, roughly 20 miles from the planned pipeline river crossing.

The new valve in Mobridge, South Dakota, 70 miles from the pipeline route, came online earlier this year. Once the pipeline system is completed, it will service the entire reservation, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation."

AND


"As of early next year, however, the Native American tribe will be gathering their water 70 miles (113 km) downstream of the oil pipeline's location, thanks to a long-awaited water treatment plant.

The reservation, which spans North and South Dakota, currently gets water 20 miles away from the pipeline's planned location.

While the scope of contamination of a future oil leak is difficult to predict, the distance from the pipeline to the new intake could reduce widespread contamination risks, regulators and environmental analysts said."

For Standing Rock Sioux, new water system may reduce oil leak risk

I fail to see the problem......

This week, Trump made clear that despite the growing chorus of opposition to the pipeline’s construction, he enthusiastically supports the controversial project, and wants to see it completed

Not good because?

Prosperous not racist America is their worst fear.

That's some heap big inconvenient truth, thanks.

Not good because?

Because the progressive media elites say so. Tommy-girl only knows how to parrot their orders.

The progressives want a modern day "trail of tears" so bad. They are encouraging more people to "protest", which is really trespassing, vandalism, and assault. Then when the evil government arrests them, or shoots back if they get violent, they will get to post videos of the USA "oppressing" native Americans. BLM failed, so they need to try something new to stir up resentment and hatred for the US.

 

[Freewill]

I always find it interesting that discussions on this board seldom come from fact or are facts presented. Mostly it is opinion and bias that is argued.

Here are some facts, which I do not endorse nor condemn, that could start a discussion, or end a discussion.

the problem for progressives is that they are always so sure but always so wrong. Take the run up to the election. They were so sure that their candidates would win. They even rubbed in everyone's face. But they were wrong, very wrong. So wrong they are crying and attacking the very fabric of our country, as Hillary said.

So now to try and stay relevant they do things like organize protests over nothing. The same arguments were used for the Alaskan pipeline and Alaska is till here and the people of Alaska still profit from the pipeline, thanks to Sara Palin. Expect more violence and riot from the left as they realize that the majority of people don't give a crap about their BS "causes." The one "cause" I can understand coming from the left is that of global warming, if I were a snow flake I too would be worried.

 

[FA_Q2]

Still no one can say why this is bad.

Also, interesting that the 'source' here is trying to pain this as a rights issue. It has nothing to do with rights at all.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Its bad because trump is showing that he can be bought and sold. Exactly the thing that Clinton was condemned for.

It is NO secret that Trump simply hates Native Americans ever since these folks got gaming rights and royally screwed Trump's casinos.

True....its less than a half mile north of the reservation...So, what could possibly go wrong?

No, that is your assumption. Based on rather vapid accusations I might add.

There is noting wrong with backing the completion of a pipeline - the cheapest and safest method of transporting oil.

Not their land. It is either on the reservation or it is not - it being half a mile from it is irrelevant. There needs to be a good reason that they want to stop it to justify blocking the completion of the project.

I did not know that. I suspect that even if he loved Native Americans he would sell them out for a few bucks.
