Wait, they have built most of it already? And it just needs finnishing off? Isn't it a bit late to moan about it now?

Reading that link it seems to be saying that it MIGHT contaminate drinking water but it's going near sacred indian sites. Other than that it says 'Environmental activists say the pipeline would perpetuate fossil fuel production.' But they would say that all the time, whilst filling their cars up.

It doesn't say anything at all about any real environmental damage. Seems to be more about Indian lands, make you wonder why they can't build a bit more and swerve round it.

And somebody should tell them that buring rubber tyres isn't a good idea either.

There is no need to build this line through a reservation. It is done simply for money and no other reason. As things stand the oil flows and profits are healthy. They only want to build this to safe guard profits incase of a wet day. Trump is going in the wrong direction but his support won't care.

So it's more about the reservation than the environment but the environment is the one being played on.

Wonder how many more miles it would take to go round this reservation.

They should give them a percentage of the profits like they do in Alaska.

Bet we won't get any if Putin ever decided to switch his pipeline off like he's threatened to do so in the past?
Has Trump abandoned fracking in favour of this pipeline?
I bet the Indians won't get a share of profits anyway Trump's too greedy for that he'll probably try and get a small percentage for himself and squirrel it away somewhere

Tillerson and his cronies will pocket the profits

Trump continues to make a fool of himself talking like an outsider yet he's in the job.

I don't think he is taking being president all that seriously

That checks and balances on the US government looks like a cat chasing it's tail.

I wonder how much longer it will take for the American public to wake up and realise that they have voted for an asshole for President who has not an ounce of political history behind him and IMO is a danger to them, the political system at large in the Us and to the wider world surely Twitter cannot allow him to continue using their services to put out the sort of wackiness that he has been doing lately not only that the time has come for there to be a shake up of the US political system that stops assholes like Trump from bring allowed to run for the most powerful job in the world

They voted for him because he was pretending to be an outsider. He told them they were doing bad and he would make it better. Hitter used a similar tactic.
