It is just day two of his presidency, and already Trump is taking a sledgehammer to the Obama legacy: in his latest move reported moments ago by Bloomberg, president Trump intends to sign two executive actions today "that would advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines", putting a spoke, so to say, in the train wheels of Warren Buffett's train-based oil transportation quasi-monopoly.
Keystone was rejected under former President Barack Obama. Trumps move on Energy Transfer Partners LPs 1,172-mile Dakota Access project aims to end a standoff that has stalled the $3.8 billion project since September, when the Obama administration halted work on land near Lake Oahe in North Dakota.

Nothing but outright bribery. Buffet, Gates, Obama, Hillary, some congress critters, et al., all need to be prosecuted for this.
Trump has been a conservative dream come true. He is taking page out of the progressive handbook by overwhelming the opposition. The left doesn’t know what hit them.
Trump has done more in a few days than GW Bush did in 8 years.
The Obama legacy is evaporating quickly...
Obama’s first Executive Order was to seal all his records,
Will President Trump reverse that order and open Obama’s records so we can all find out the truth about this usurper?
Not to nit-pick, but “putting a spoke, so to say, in the train wheels” is not exactly the metaphor. Usually it is in the form of “put a wrench in the spokes”, implying sabotage but sticking a strong, non-yielding item into the spokes of a rotating wheel, thereby jamming the works and causing a stoppage/crash.
Two interesting facts - (1) Train wheels usually are solid - no spokes. (2) “Sabotage” originally described the practice of workers in Nazi occupied low countries throwing their wooden shoes (”sabot”) into the machinery to cause stoppages (or so the story goes....).

True, but Trump lied to me. He told me that I would get tired of all the winning....
That is very interesting!
One way to defeat the media is to keep doing what you mention. When the left comes up with talking points, just move on to your next agenda and keep steam rolling them.
That's a good plan for young people: go where you can make lots of money, save most of it, and after a couple of years you can come back and have enough of a nest egg to start a business.

It wasn't a lot of money but the boys sent it all home to my grandparents who needed it badly during the depression.
That's something that might work again...and get these forests back on track.
Winning every day :-)
I think the Dakota pipeline is almost all built except for something like 80 miles near that Indian Reservation. I imagine most of the equipment is still there, just waiting to get back and running in later January.
“Okay boys - take a few weeks off over the holidays, but don’t get too settled in at home.”
I guy that works for me part time spent a few years in the N. Dakota oil patch. Hippy looking guy, outdoor extreme sports, etc.
“Yeah - until I find a full-time job give me a call. I’ve got other part-time stuff, and will be snowboarding and living out of my truck.”
“Oh - boy. Those were the days - except I was skiing!”
“Yeah- three years in the oil patch and I made enough money to pay off all my student loans and still have a big stash until I can find a decent job. Or maybe I’ll go for a Masters. All the other guys bought all sorts of fancy trucks, snowmobiles, boats and all their other toys.”
He obviously isn’t a “hippie” I guess.
Huh? Bush???
hmmmmmmm. Now THAAT would be a great popcorn day and week. I would love to see those records. He’s worked so very hard at hiding them as have the media.
