Thousands of US veterans from all over the country are heading to Standing Rock to defend the people protesting the pipeline from the state of North Dakota. Saw a report on our local TV of Arizona vets packing up for the trip, too. Where is president-elect Trump? Well, you guessed it. This man of the people and self-declared champion of veterans is solidly on the side of the corporate interests! It is just coincidental that he holds oil company stocks and is personal friends with billionaire oil men. If this lasts until his inauguration, will he order the US military to attack the demonstrators and the vets?

I take it the vets are walking there? They better not be using any petroleum products to get there. That would be hypocritical.

Where is Trump? Liberals are so predictable. Where is OBAMA you know, the president you elected? Where has he been for the MONTHS this has been going on?

Liberals are such hypocrites, complaining about what Trump isn't doing before he's even in office when their president hasn't done anything for months.

Obama has been trying to negotiate a different route for the pipeline. His admin has taken no action against the protesters. That was the locals working for the oil bosses. This will outlast his admin, so what Trump does in his first test of big business versus the people will be telling.

The real reason to protest the pipeline is the use of eminent domain by Dakota Access to steal property from landowners in Iowa.
