It's good news, but it's complicated. They can likely keep pushing the pipeline through and just pay government fines. That's where big business always has a way.  >:(  Camp won't be breaking up anytime soon, but there are good things about that, too. They're making a difference. If it gets re-routed, wherever it goes will be more educated about the dangers. If it stopped altogether - well, that might be a 'pipe dream'. ;) But it would be wonderful for all of us.

Although, my family is Cherokee, we've stood in solaridarity with other indigenous tribes. This was truly amazing!

Any thoughts on this? Has it ever been done before? Is this a conflict of interest? Should Trump continue to run his several businesses while the US President?


Donald J. Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway defended the president-elect's decision to stay on as an executive producer of The New Celebrity Apprentice when he assumes office, saying presidents have the right to do things in their "spare time."

Fake news and the supposed Russian hacking of Hillary's email played a huge part in this past election. You can heck here to see if anything you read came from these 'fake news' sites.

I admit, I didn't vote for Hillary, yet this 'thank you tour' from Trump grates my nerves. I really feel he thinks he is some kind of Rock star. It reminds me of the 'Victory' tour of the Jackson 5 from years ago.

I do feel compassion for Hillary and her voters. If it's true about the Russian hackers our democracy as a whole has been compromised. We ALL should feel concern that our voting system can be manipulated like that by someone no matter who you voted for!

I guess it makes it worse because I feel Trump wanted to WIN, yet not really run the country, no matter how he won, or that Hillary had so many more votes than him.

It's a long shot yet I'm rooting for the electors who vote Monday,  vote to be successful
in overturning the Trump vote and have Hillary win! I choose to be fair and not allow Trump who chooses to ignore international briefings not be elected.

I can't imagine what we (the USA) will become and  not looking forward to it either.

All just my opinion. Please don't bash me.

Never in my entire life have I ever seen confirmation hearings so contentious! People are interrupting,getting thrown out, maybe arrested like I've never seen! Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Normally these are pretty boring.

BTW, has anyone read the new reports on Trump helping Russia hack Clinton or something like that? What was that all about?

I think there needs to be a new title to this thread. lol

Just checked twitter and what I was hoping wouldn't come true has.

Trump signed an Executive Order to start the pipeline back up.

Something is just not right with this man!  His heart isn't equip with anything human.

All he sees is try to make money, no matter who it harms.

Here is the tweet :(:
