I think I heard him say it must be constructed with steel that is made in the USA. Which will not only support his campaign promises, but also help ensure he’s winning the union vote and even greater rust belt support which we will need come midterms in 2018.

I hate stupid comments - especially those that make hick accusations with no proof. Anyone who is worth $70 billion or so and has already given away tens of billions doesn’t need to bribe anyone. Inane and ignorant posts certainly occur here, but some are more inane and ignorant than others.

Buffet was a pathetic Obama boot licker. You can’t walk that back now that the kenyan is gone.

Open the Arctic Reserve on Friday; end the week on a high note!

So much winning...AHHHHHHH! I can’t take it!

Yes I can.

I’d even say for Trump to make a deal with Discovery Network/Travel Channel/Smithsonian Channel/others for any of these to film and show how all is implemented in drilling/transporting, building more pipeline...it would be a great reality show.

There is a new massive sweet crude oil discovery in Alaska.

Where in Alaska? How soon can the field be developed?

Hope Congress is getting their act in gear.

I'm betting that Pence is running them ragged and they're happy to go into session so they can rest.

Then you should stop posting since you hate such stupid comments as yours.

It takes a real gullible idiot to think that someone who is worth $70 billion on paper is pure as the wind driven snow.

Obama opposed the pipelines to protect the financial interests of his Middle Eastern muslim friends.

The best argument (against the left) re the pipeline is an environmental one.

1. The oil involved is heavy tar, dirty and difficult to refine. If we don’t refine it, Canada says they will send it to China for refining. China has the dirtiest refineries in the world and doesn’t worry much about it. So, for better air, vote for American refining.

2. Rail and trucks spill oil at 40 times the rate per mile than pipelines. Also, unlike pipelines many miles of rail follow waterways. When rail spills, it’s usually right into rivers.

Conclusion: The KL pipeline is environmentally safer than what will happen otherwise.

“The primary reason for Obama vetoing the Keystone and Dakota pipelines is that Warren Buffet owns the trails that carry that oil and he bribed Obama not veto the pipelines.”

Primary? You have any evidence of that?

I think it was virtue-signal vote buying for democrats.

Buffet is nimble and will adjust by buying a pipeline company and some steel. He doesn’t care.

More Winning!

Anyone have a link to the Trump Roman Legion? I had a link to a clean picture, but it no longer works. The one in Google images has a red line thru it and comes out of focus.

1. Canadian leftist just want to shut down tar sand production altogether

2. Buffet owns one of those railroads that have been enriched hauling oil...and he’s greased enough leftist pockets, such that they will accept no argument.

Good thing is - there’s nothing to argue over or discuss. Barry acted like a king, and so can Trump. If he says Keystone is a go, its a go.

"I think it was virtue-signal vote buying for democrats."

No way. No reasons were given for the veto. Just a no-comment veto. The dems never give a crap about their voters. Everything they do is tied to bribery. Everything. They then go out and propagandize the decisions, but the pipeline vetoes were silent.

"Buffett's answer: I see your $80 mil and raise you $920 million.* Yes, a cool one billion for the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action."

Follow the money. Anyone claiming there wasn't a bribe in it for Obama only needs to know about the $920 million to his campaign coffers.
