Un-noticed due to all the brouhaha over Ryancare, is that Trump signed the order that issues permits to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.

This was another campaign promise kept by Trump. (no doubt why it was unnoticed)

The crazy parade is on its way to the river crossing. Wonder which celebs are helping them this time.

BTW there are already pipeline crossings right near the Keystone.

Not unnoticed at all -- it's in all the news. Or in the news I read.

The pipeline that isn't necessary and will endanger a third of the country's water supply, but has long been an AM talk-radio talking point, much like ANWR.

More from our brilliant president. Seeing how he loves taking landowners' property away using Eminent Domain, he cannot understand why they need permission. And of course, Trump is lying about the amount of jobs--would expect nothing less.

"....The company last month filed for the Nebraska PSC permit, which is necessary for construction and in cases in which the company resorts to using eminent domain because landowners refuse to let construction take place.

At the Oval Office Friday, Trump seemed surprised that TransCanada still needed the state’s approval. Trump said “I’ll call Nebraska.” He praised Nebraska’s governor Pete Ricketts (R) and said he would call Ricketts today. Ricketts, however, does not have a role in the PSC decision...."

A State Department report on the pipeline that was issued under the Obama administration found that there would be 3,900 direct construction jobs if it was built over one year, or 1,950 if the work was spread over two years....Once the pipeline opens it would require only 35 full-time permanent jobs to run it, and 15 full-time temporary jobs,

Isn't a pipeline safer than rail?
