Excellent explanation regarding the politics of the protest.

Google the headline to read.

"So what is the pipeline dispute really about? Political expediency in a White House that does not see itself as being bound by the rule of law. The Obama administration has decided to build a political legacy rather than lead the country. It is facilitating an illegal occupation that has grown wildly out of control. That the economy depends on a consistent and predictable permitting regime seems never to have crossed the president’s mind."

Imagine if the rancher would have used an ied.

You know how they were spun even without this.

These people are spun as saints.

It is brutally sickening.

Exactly the point I have been making.

No rule of law for Obama. He does not, and never has cared about such things.

His whole life has been about disrupting and defeating the rule of law.

Just an FYI, Native Americans DO NOT live in tepees. They’re not that hardy nor that stupid.

I don’t know what is worst, the communist left or just ignorant. This pipeline is needed and poses no problem to the Indians or the rotten core of communists Democrat ignorant.

I used to be able to Google search my way into WSJ articles, but it hasn’t worked the last couple of times. Is there something I’m missing?

He’ll let President Trump do the dirty and hard work to enforce the rule of law and then he’ll stand on the sidelines and harp at Trump if things get nasty. Lawless freak.

These protestors have been bussed in by Buffet and Soros. They are not locals....and are paid $15.00 an hour to protest. The underground pipeline will be far safer than rail or road transport, and Buffet has the contract for rail transport.

I won’t be long before a Trump-led DoJ and FBI puts an end to this shenanigan and gets the pipeline built.

They ignored the part about it being about money (the Indians are mad they can’t fleece the white man because it goes around the reservation).

The snow covered encampment looks cold. Perhaps we should be nice and send some blankets their way.

Don't understand why the pipe around the Lake. We use it for drinking. 3-4 Govt Agencies suggested it but the Arny Engineers didn't not agree. So all of the sitting Bullsh*t wouldn't be on the news. I thought they liked the Indians - feather.

It’s time to close down the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service..

They are Americans of Chinese descent.

What if we had 320 German Sovereign Nations inside our borders?

True that it passes to the north of the actual reservation land. But I think their argument
is about it coming thru other land that they consider to be unceded Sioux land and wasn't
granted to the USA. JMO. Orginally plans had it going to the North of Bismark but was
rerouted South. How and why the change I don't know.
