PoliticusUSA: Corrupt John Boehner Conspires With Foreigners Against America’s Best Interests

You just have to read this one, about KXL.


"Although the Republican party is rife with unethical and pathological liars, it is likely none are as pathological as Speaker of the House John A. Boehner (R-OH). For the past three-and-a-half years, Boehner has lied through his teeth about a foreign corporation’s pet project its home country will not let them build due to the existential damage to their nation’s environment, air quality, and water supply. Now, Boehner has enlisted a foreign corporation (TransCanada), the Canadian Prime Minister, and a foreign energy department to put pressure on America, and particularly its President, to approve construction of a pipeline Canada is well aware is an environmental and ecological disaster."
.
.
.
"What is curious, indeed, is that if the Canadian corporation, Canadian Prime Minister, Ottawa Canada, and the Canadian Natural Resources minister are so incredibly certain the pipeline is safe, provides energy independence, and a major job generator; then why in dog’s name are they not immediately building the pipeline across Canadian soil? Is it because a short TransCanada pipeline span already ruptured and destroyed the ecosystem 12 times within its first year? Or is it because every stinking drop of that refined oil is slated for export to Europe, China, and Japan? Or because Canada enjoys full employment and has no need for a “major job generator?” Also; since when are Republicans, John A. Boehner, the Koch brothers, or a bunch of foreigners and a foreign corporation so deeply concerned about America’s energy independence or its jobs situation??


And there's more...

Just like his bff boehner, joined at the self serving hip.

They serve their 1% lunatic fringe well.

Koch boys, no surprise, they carry their racist Bircher Daddy's billions well for themselves.
