Great. Where are they gonna come up with the money?
Well, they can sell all of their assets for starters...
Do they still have boats, ships.....?
I would have preferred $666M.
Oh no the mark of the devil!. Yeah, the tree huggers can all go to hell.
A judge will rule taxpayers have to foot the billš
I guess this is the FO part of FAFO ā¦
Here is the pipeline story as I heard it.
The Indians had been paid for years For the use of and the wear and tear On their roads. They were paid per barrel.
The oil company want to build a pipeline. Which would have allowed less wear and tear on their roads and more throughput.Much more oil would be able to go through.
The Indians still wanted to be paid per barrel.
So, the oil companies told them no, And moved the pipeline off the land.
So, even though no oil would be crossing the land the Indians still wanted to be paid.
The oil companies told them to f*ck off.
So, The Indians said the new location was ancient Indian burial ground. And the media went along with that.
What would be hilarious is if the oil company gets the trademark and calls itself Greenpeace.
winning, Soros and others are shifting moneys to show green peace is broke and cant pay the fine
They said the same thing when a company wanted to build on a part of the southern Black Hills.
They paid a guy to put up a tepee and live there
In North Dakota, you can find 12 honest, fair-minded people to serve on a jury. Not so much in DC, NYC and many other leftwing enclaves.
I believe Greenpeace is supposedly a charity org. So whoever is donating is footing the bill. But if our gov was shelling out grants then yes we are paying. Lets hope DOGE stops this. Greenpeace is based in the Netherlands, home of the stoners.
The Indians have been given special treatment for years, They can have casinos, gov grants, charity orgs, etc. If they earn a living from working on their reservation, they pay no income taxes. You can bet Greenpeace and other loonies like them are behind the Indians demands, filling their ears full of pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. I do not feel sorry for them, they killed and tortured as many settlers as the Army killed them. Nothing “green” about them either. Set fires to stampede buffalo off of cliffs, wore feathers from all sorts of birds, etc. They were not as peaceful as portrayed either. There were plenty of wars between them, and for land mainly. So who stole from who?
“Greenpeace Gas”. Has a ring to it.
I don’t think there are 12 honest fair minded people in all of the libtard sh!t holes combined.
USAID?
Hope this bankrupts them.
Trump needs to start up those pipelines lines ASAP- a lot of jobs were lost when Biden ended the Keystone XL pipeline.
They should have sued the Indian tribe as well.
