Trump owns between $500,000 and $1 million in Energy Transfer Partners stock, and Warren donated $100,000 to a committee supporting Trump’s campaign. Warren told NBC News that he’s “100 percent sure that the pipeline will be approved by a Trump administration.”
HAPPY FREAKING THANKSGIVING. Who will stand against this injustice against our country's Native people? The Obama administration intervened in September, withholding a permit to build beneath the federal waterway while the pipeline’s approval process was reviewed by officials in the Army and the Justice and Interior departments. Instead, the developer decided to build under cover of night like a COMMON CRIMINAL. PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE CROOKED BUSINESSMEN WAITING TO USURP THE OVAL OFFICE.

Let' see, you took all of our original lands from us, and place us in the shittiest areas of America and say we're "safe" here. You made us march from areas we've known for centuries into other shitty parts of the country, killing a lot of us, and to add insult to injury, you want to take it again to pump oil? The raping of Native Americans doesn't seem to know an end date I guess. I hope the Native Americans win this time. They're WAY overdue.

Consider the Oscars and how few people of color ever win one. Jackie Chan has been acting for over 50 years, starred in hundreds of movies, performed all of his own stunts, and he gets an HONORARY Oscar just last week. He is the first Chinese actor in HISTORY to receive it. Why does ScarJo need that role? I love her, I really do, but all the whitewashing isn't necessary.

SSG Jessica Bautista - I just don't see it. ScarJo is crazy talented, KNOWS how to do an action movie. There are probably some amazing Asian actresses out there that could pull this off, but they don't have ScarJo's star power. And its that power that's going to get all the non-nerds to give this a chance.

The protesters are going to lose, the People are going to lose, and the corporation is going to keep throwing money at this until they win, because the payoff will be astronomical. Any investment is justifiable from a financial standpoint. And I doubt very much they care enough about disrupting lives and lands to ever significantly change their plans on their own or at the urging of protesters.

It's not just about this pipeline though, it'a about every new pipeline and the cost to lay them. How many major pipeline projects will never get off the ground because the cost and risk associated with the pipeline do not exceed the financial reward?

I don't know. I won't pretend to have that kind of knowledge of the oil industry. I will say that once the moguls get an idea in their head and break ground, I don't see the common people winning anything.
They wouldn't have even started without considering and accounting for every challenge that could come up.

SSG Jessica Bautista - You know how I feel. I've never had a prejudiced bone in my body, and I've never understood how someone can be so ignorant, and be prejudiced. It doesn't matter what color or creed they are.
