Trump clears way for controversial oil pipelines

That can be cleaned up

But the greatest threat to an oil spill is a train derailment not a pipeline

After the damage is done.:doh

Train derailment spills can also be cleaned up, but you seem to believe we have to have it shipped here in the first place.
 
That's what I'm attempting here, but of course, the Trump Cult is just not having it.
No criticism of Dear Leader accepted.

Nope, what you are attempting is to invent a reason that Trump cannot favor that pipeline.
 
If hillary had won the election canada would have built the pipeline to the Pacific coast and sent the oil directly to china

Hillary is past history, the one in charge is the focus of today.
 
Like I said, you have no idea of what you speak.

Ok then. Where's your counterargument?
Are you suggesting Trump doesn't own shares in Phillips 66?

It's on you to provide evidence that Trump has divested from Phillips 66.
If you are unable to, then you are simply making a fool of yourself.

Exactly

Libs prattle about eminent domain when what they really want is no oil no way no how

Wrong again, Buckaroo, had you read what I posted I said I am not against pipelines per say, just our laws being used to force it through private lands for private company profits. Is that too deep for you?

Wrong on all counts.
It is on you to show he hasn't to claim he may have a conflict of interest. Thus far you haven't shown jack.

I support the pipeline and I don't own any stock in Phillips 66
 
Its true that mucj of the new knowledge comes from the agricultural schools at predominately liberal universities

Along with much private research performed by major corporations who themselves benefit from the ag teachers

But if the ag students are tomorrows farmers how can they be backward and stupid country hicks as you accuse them of being?
Its more than just universities. They do the fundamental research. Then you have firms that take that research and commercialize the technology into comercializable products. Those products ideas are sold to big Agriculture companies for lots of money. The companies then produce the high tech stuff and lease it to farmers.

Independent farmers take out massive leans on their crops to pay for the new fancy equipment. Even with massive government handouts, they barely make ends meet. As a result the land is being raped of its nutrients (see Midwest soil thickness), the people on the farms are being buried, and the people that live in rich (democratic) comunities in the cities make all of the money.

And as for future ag students, ha! They live in republican dominated areas they have terrible education systems. There are no local colleges, no public interest in funding higher education, and no money to go to college. The republican leadership spends all of its time fighting to not teach things like evolution or climate change. The future for kids growing up in Republican dominated areas is abysmal, hence widespread meth and heroin problems. It's essentially another inner city, except the people in charge are actively working to make it worse.

Those laws are not eunique to the oil pipeline

Besides you have already admitted that you don't want the oil by truck or train either

That means no oil period unless Canada sends it to china directly

Which they would have done if trump were not president
 
Alrightie then, guess the red man is also now on the list of undesirables in the New America.

Exactly the type of pathetic response I would expect from the simplistic left. I didn't mention skin color and I didn't claim them to be undesirable. You did. You are just projecting.

The is a lot of meth abuse in rural America

Or at least the places I know of

But I attribute the problem to our wipe every nose bleeding heart liberal welfare system that rewards unwed mothers and drug abuse with government subsidies
 
Replace "Indian" with "conservative rural America"

And how are you being held back by supposed 'primitive conservative culture?' The supposedly wonderful liberal culture that you embrace is just a modern day version of Robin Hood. So the word primitive has more in common with leftist urban America than anything else you might come up with.
 
Wrong on all counts.

It has already been proven that Trump owned stock in Phillips 66.
There has been no evidence to prove that he has divested.

Apparently you are unable to do so, otherwise why would you refuse?

Apparently you are in full support of government corruption, as long as you get to choose the recipient of the rewards for such behavior.

I don't own stock in Phillips 66 and I approve of the pipeline too

iLOL I do not need to show anything.

The onus is on you to show he hasn't to make the claim, and apparently you are unable to do so. Doh!

Like I said; You clearly do not know what you speak about.

You have no counterargument. Why do you bother to continue?

The counter argument has already been given and you missed it

The pipeline is good for the American economy

The counter was already provided.

Stop. You have no idea of what you speak and are only making assumptions.


You have not proved any conflict exists. All you have done is make an assumption.

Do you really not understand that?

I don't trust Trump to make that determination, given his personal financial investment in the project's success.
That's the inevitable result of such conflict-of-interest situations.

In you case, I believe there is nothing that I can say that would shake your trust in Dear Leader.

I understand that you have no point in continuing. Repeating your same nonsense again and again doesn't change that fact.

Then trust me.

Blame the problem on liberals that don't live there and would never be elected. Republicans talk about facing the hard truths, but never actually do. They talk about personal responsibility, but the problem is always someone else. They talk about weeding out corruption and government overreach, then that's the first thing they do. They talk about people pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps while demanding that the government brings back economically unsupportable industries.

Hard truth: places run by the GOP are in decline and getting worse. There's an Ancient Greek saying: Societies thrive when old men plant trees whose shade they'll never see. The modern GOP doesn't plant trees, instead they cut down the ones their parents planted for them, sell the wood for a quick buck, and blame the liberals for making the sun too hot.
 
Did they litigate?


It was during the 1930s.
They tried to reason with the commission and explain their situation but alas the road was built Seperating the buildings and the land.

My sister and I inherited the land and buildings in late 1990s. The cows were sold of in late 50s when I was about 9, but I still remember watching them getting milked and the home creamery building where the milk and cream were separated and where the butter was churned.

Some republicans do not back up their talk with action

But if they did try to remove people from welfare you and other critics of the republicans would be the first to attack them for acting on their principles
