With the pipeline in north Dakota going full speed ahead and going to safely remove thousands of rail cars and trucks carrying oil, progress is moving forward. Although the massive cleanup continues from the waste and litter left by the democrat protesters, many democrats feel their efforts to sit in zero degree weather for weeks was wasted and futile.

Can anyone argue that any viable purpose was accomplish by democrats or was this another uncalculated waste of time that could have been better utilized?

Hundreds of jobs were created for cleaning up the months of trash and humane waste left by the protesters.Is that a plus?

From the very beginning , it was a fund raiser for Jill Stein. That's all it ever was and she is laughing all the way to the bank.

Sure it was. The American Indians who were trying to protect the land, water, and animals from yet one more destructive takeover by the U.S. government in collusion with the oil companies. This has been going on for 150 years. But, sure, it was all about Jill Stein.

Ignoring the number of pipelines ALREADY in place and have destroyed NOTHING in all the years they have been there.

I think it is called, "crying wolf'!

Every single protester (that can be identified) should be sent a bill for the clean up on this site. (Divide the Clean-up bill by the number identified).

If they don't pay the bill, then send them a 1099 (for forgiveness of debt). Let them deal with the IRS.

This article says the cleanup is being paid by donations. Wonder what happened to the other millions they raised? This has always been about the money... plain and simple.

Nope. Just another jab at the blue collar worker by the Democrats to be remembered the next Election Day.

The Tribe hopes that the same people that left that Toxic Waste will send money to clean it up. The estimate is about a quarter Million dollars for the clean-up and then the Feds will come in a clear the rest.
Jill Stein was Front & Center during most of the "protest" -- she raised over $7 Million dollars for her Scam Re-Count, about a Million of that went to "staff & lawyers". She won't say how much is left of her over $7 Million, just that it will be "donated" (apparently the FEC is not clear on this matter, so they will probably ignore it). Best guesstimate is that she has somewhere between $4-5 Million left in her donation wallet.

Mz. Jill could open her donation wallet and send the Standing Rock Sioux $250,000 to help clean up the Toxic Waste her Environmental friends stuck the Tribe with.

Will she? Bet NOT
