True. Jesus is coming back any day now so who cares if future generations have clean drinking water.

Trump acts to advance Keystone XL, Dakota Access oil pipeline construction - Chicago Tribune
Title should read...


"Tone deaf POTUS advances pipelines in Order to reunite Democrats and green left. "



If Trump's people had any brains at all they would have done this 3 months from now. Doing it now simply unites the left..

thanks Donnie... now pick some extremists for the supreme court to test our dem senators and see who needs to be kicked out 2018 and who has shown their mettle.

Why not? He is more focused on putting people to work to feed their families and pay their bills. Obama made his decision to block it about a month ago?

Oil is a natural resource. It comes from the ground and will be transported underground to where it is needed. This is safer than putting it on a ship or train.

Those employment numbers are so bogus they should be labeled BS.

When finished both pipelines together will employ 90, total.

Those construction job numbers are inflated. They even counted adding on people at the McDonald's drive through.

Will they be laid off when the crew moves on down the road?

You're going to have to help us out a little here. There are a lot of pipelines, most of which cross important aquifers somewhere, so...

Yes, and he was also against unions in his construction projects. Now the Teamsters (yesterday) have strongly endorsed him

Your drinking water and the air will continue to be fine with the addition of pipelines that create jobs and save the U.S. money. Millions is wasted on climate change and environment.

Apparently the residents of Bismarck, ND believe it, too.
