how is this not conflict of interest

When the president does it, that means it is not illegal - Nixon.

 

[dark_chris]

Can someone explain to a non-American what the issue is with the Keystone pipeline? As far as I know, oil is already being transported from Canada to the US via railways.

It runs through native American land. The natives are trying to fight for their land and right to not have the pipe go through but the greedy oil companies just say "fuck you, we got money."
They also show brutality by attacking protestors and reporters, even unprovoked.

 

[Mr.Mike]

I think he's said that he has completely sold all of his stock holdings.

This is something we'd be able to see if he were to release his tax returns.

 

[Skinpop]

America, you continue to astound me

yeah... that's ridiculous.

 

[Wilsongt]

So just like with Andrew Jackson: Fuck the native americans

Exempt from that specific clause of that specific law, but not the Emoluments clause of the constitution.

I see, thank you for the response!

And it's going to run through one of the largest aquifers in NA

She just hoped the 2 sides would find a solution. She hasn't said anything else aobut it as far as Im aware.

 

[Skellig Gra]

To be expected but I still feel for the natives. No justice once again.

 

[Hanmik]

Does he not own stock in 2 companies behind Dakota Access.?

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/...-stock-in-oil-pipeline-company-raises-concern

Trump's most recent federal disclosure forms, filed in May, show he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners. That's down from between $500,000 and $1 million a year earlier.

Trump also owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips 66, which has a one-quarter share of Dakota Access.

 

[jmdajr]

Outside all the environmental issues, it's basically useless with this oil glut too.

Why is this even needed?

 

[gutter_trash]

So just like with Andrew Jackson: Fuck the native americans

Trump is the most Jacksonian president in modern times

[sangreal]

I don't really have a problem with pipelines, it will be better than transportation by train. The Dakota one should be rerouted though.

I agree on both points but we also shouldn't be pretending that keystone xl is going to create any permanent jobs in the US

 

[UberTag]

What's the over-under on how many Sioux will get killed by this decision?
I need to check in with my bookie.

 

[Pandora012]

And it's going to run through one of the largest aquifers in NA

Which should be enough to just say, "maybe we shouldn't"

Outside all the environmental issues, it's basically useless with this oil glut too.

Why is this even needed?

The problem is when they see this, people see jobs. But they forget, that it's useless since too much oil does the opposite. Basically, they are being shortsighted.

 

[BackLogJoe]

I hope the natives in Dakota resist with force. This is fucking horrible. They need to do something to where those pipeline workers fear to do the work they are about to do.

 

[Liberty4all]

Keystone is great news for Alberta.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Protest time? I hope people show up more and more and they just can't continue.

Lol Trump is backed by everything oil. He's probably going to step in and actually make it illegal for them to protest it or some shit.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Do you remember those people that took over a federal building in ohio? Armed and everything, got slap on the wrist.

I don't think these protestors will be treated the same way.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Outside all the environmental issues, it's basically useless with this oil glut too.

Donald Trump will build a big beautiful pipeline meant to reduce the cost of transporting Canadian oil. At the same time he will let loose the frackers, ensuring that Albertan oil will remain unprofitable to extract anyway. Like building a casino across the street from your other casino.

 

[jmdajr]

So economically how will this help? And who?

I mean that's why they are doing this no matter what? So tell me, if anyone knows.

edit: lol. Yeah it all doesn't make sense. I guess create jobs for the pipeline builders.

I've made about two fiddy.

Full disclosure, I have a financial interest in TransCanada of about $140 CAD, indirectly

 

[Linkura]

Trump is such an asshole. Can't be surprised at this, but we have to keep calling his shittiness out.

Thank you trump.

Decepticons, that's who

 

[jmdajr]

I guess this is good for Houston but like I said, this is just going to keep killing oil prices. I don't see how it couldn't.

Maybe they'll get so efficient at it they can still make a profit.

And kill the planet faster!

 

[the1npc]

Keystone is great news for Alberta.

They should be heavily transitioning into renewables anyway. Alberta puts too many eggs in one basket

 

[DrROBschiz]

so many people are gonna be SOL on the next oil spill

 

[BoboBrazil]

Keep lining those CEO pockets by fucking over the earth.

 

[gutter_trash]

that pretty much answers what Trump officials were doing in Calgary last night meeting with Canadian government officials

 

[Kaako]

God fucking damnit.

 

[Animator]

And to think this is only the FOURTH fucking day that shithead has been president. I don't want to think what four years will bring.

 

[Calamari41]

Seems like his candidacy wasn't a con job, after all.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

The natives don't have a relatively infinite supply of trained military, death dealing drones or crush your little protest tanks. They really do not want to make themselves an enemy of this blonde douche with forceful resistance.

 

[whyamihere]

Yeah but both parties are the same.

It's not worth it for a battle they now can't win.

 

[Abelard]

If that sweet oil money from Keystone can make videogames 60 dollars again, I'm down for it.

 

[br3wnor]

This is what he campaigned on, no one should be surprised. I had a slight hope that he might not rubber stamp a down the ballot Paul Ryan wet dream agenda but it's exactly what he's doing. Alot of long term damage is going to be done in the next (hopefully only) 2 years.

Secretly Ryan and McConnel probably don't care if they lose one of their majorities next cycle given how much shit they're going to push through this moron's desk.

 

[PopeReal]

I know what you are saying but that will lead to many deaths. No one will help them.

 

[Garlador]

My people are used to battles we can't win.

It's how we got relocated and put on reservations in the first place.

But that sure as hell doesn't mean we'll go quietly into the night.

Yup, who gives a shit about climate change? *sigh*

 

[Avixph]

What would happen if Trump orders that any protesters at Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines be made to leave by any means necessary?

 

[Sulik2]

I fully expect live fire approval from the Trump admin when the protests start again. They will be the first dead under America's new authoritarian government.
