Trump ignores question about Standing Rock Sioux after signing DAC order.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/24/trump-ignores-standing-rock-sioux-question-after-dakota-access-order.html

Moments after signing an executive order to push forward the intensely disputed Dakota Access pipeline, President Donald Trump ignored a reporter's question about Native American protesters who have fiercely opposed the project.

"Mr. Trump, any comment to the Standing Rock community and the protesters out there?" a reporter in the Oval Office asked after the president finished signing five executive orders.

Trump put his head down, pursed his lips and looked in the opposite direction. He then responded to a question about when he expected to make a Supreme Court nomination.


Surprised he didn't say, "They don't look like Indians to me."

Seems to suggest that all out war is feasible.

I suggest the next prez issue an order to build a yuge pipeline through mar a lago.

He just signed an order to An order to allow a Canadian Company to export oil in a manner that poses an imminent threat to Americans (native specifically) so another company can sell that to China. Right? Right?

China ‘steps up preparedness for possible military conflict with US’

The People’s Liberation Army said in a commentary on its official website last Friday, the day of Trump’s inauguration, that the chances of war have become “more real” amid a more complex security situation in Asia Pacific.

The commentary written by an official at the national defence mobilisation department in the Central Military Commission said the call for a US rebalancing of its strategy in Asia, military deployments in the East and South China Seas and the instillation of a missile defence system in South Korea were hot spots getting closer to ignition.



Okay - so if that happens - what are we going to do with that oil? What purpose does it serve?

Being rhetorical - we all know that specific type of oil really only serves the Koch brothers.
