Dakota pipeline won't be carrying Canadian crude.
It also has no no long term negative impact on the environment.
Keystone XL, Dakota Access pipelines: Good for the environment and the U.S.
Millions of miles of pipelines criss cross Canada and the US and are far safer than the alternatives which are rail and trucks.
QuoteThe few jobs it will create is meaningless.
On the contrary, piplelines are needed infrastructure that create tens of thousands of jobs in the construction phase and more importantly move energy products faster, safer and more efficiently than rail. They also provide hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for all levels of government.
What's funny is the people who protested the completion of Dakota Access were harming the environment.
QuoteSeoul as you know Excutive Orders really don't mean shit.
Wrong again, in his second term, Obama touted his executive power, saying: "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen and I've got a phone."
Under executive order, the US military was desegregated, Japanese Americans were interned, the New Deal was born and national parks and protected lands were expanded. Some of the biggest changes to the US have come from executive orders.
QuoteWhy do you have to start a new thread in RR? Just smoke another Marlboro. Promise I won't rip on your ass. What about those N.Korean opium poppies?
What about North Korean peddling drugs. They have using illicit activities to raise money for years.

- April 25, 2017, 12:42:06 PMFreezing all Federal Hiring Outside of the Military: Trump followed in Ronald Reagan's footsteps by putting a federal hiring freeze in place almost immediately after he became president. That's big, because the first step to shrinking government is to stop adding more people to it.
Ordered Federal Agencies To Cut Two Regulations For Every New One They Propose: Not only will this lead to fewer regulations, Trump has also decreed that the net cost of any new regulation that is added after cutting the old regulations should be zero. In other words, the regulatory burden on the American people can only go in one direction: down. If you want to help the economy, one of the best ways to do it is to stop strangling American businesses with red tape. Trump understands that.
Putting Out An Executive Order Asking The DOJ And Homeland Security to Withhold "Federal Funds, Except As Mandated By Law" From Sanctuary Cities: Trump talked a lot about sanctuary cities on the campaign trail and it's great to see him taking action against these lawless cities. The fewer sanctuary cities we have, the fewer Americans like Kate Steinle will be raped, robbed or murdered as a result. There is no such thing as the "rule of law" when a protected class of foreign trespassers don't live under the same laws as the rest of us.

Of course this number is totally misleading, as most claims out of Washington have been for many decades now. I'm just using it to try and illustrate to our paranoid little friend TD that the sky is not falling.
