More fossil fuel, who needs it? Use less, not more.

5. Hurry Trump those tankers in the Gulf are waiting!!

To haul all that crude OUT OF HERE. But...we get the mess and the pollution.

6. What do we learn when we lose on this issue?

These pipelines and frakking and Bakken Sands oil - all Red States.

How do we convince these people that jobs and cheaper energy and natural resources are not in their interest?

"We're all going to die!" isn't working.

12. frogs in gradually heated water

16. We're smarter, granted.

What happens when California "slides into the ocean" - which it will - and we lose all those "smart" Democrats?

Just sayin'....

7. If he owns stock in them, he's in conflict of interest territory.

[bigtree]

13. this has to be our attack point

...to demonstrate, clearly, where his interests really lie.

8. News on how Trump will PROFIT from this.....

This is illegal as HELL................

On 25 November 2016, CBS reported that additional stock owned by Trump exacerbated the conflict:

Trump’s 2016 federal disclosure forms show he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners. That’s down from between $500,000 and $1 million a year earlier.

Trump also owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips 66, which has a one-quarter share of Dakota Access.

While Trump’s stake in the pipeline company is modest compared with his other assets, ethics experts say it’s among dozens of potential conflicts that could be resolved by placing his investments in a blind trust, a step Trump has resisted ... The 1,200-mile pipeline would carry oil across four states to a shipping point in Illinois. The project has been held up while the Army Corps of Engineers consults with the Standing Rock Sioux, who believe the project could harm the tribe’s drinking water and Native American cultural sites.

11. tRump is so filthy

it's all about money isn't it? they want to rape the country.

it's 2017 these people are filthy greedy individuals

The Water Protectors are NOT going take this. But then again, they do not care or value human life.

spicer can fuck off.

15. Great. So permits and environmental reviews don't actually matter.

Last time I checked, the Corps of Engineers still had final say over the DAPL (it's in water after all).

Please, somebody sue to stop this shit.

[world wide wally]

17. And according to Pence, half of the people turning out to protest will be Trump supporters
