The Standing Rock Sioux Claim ‘Victory and Vindication’ in Court
A federal judge rules that the Dakota Access pipeline did not receive an adequate environmental vetting.
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/arc ... rt/530427/A federal judge ruled in favor of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on Wednesday, handing the tribe its first legal victory in its year-long battle against the Dakota Access pipeline.
The president celebrated the pipeline during a speech last week in Cincinnati. “The Dakota Access pipeline is now officially open for business—a $3.8-billion investment in American infrastructure that was stalled,” he said. “Nobody thought any politician would have the guts to approve that final leg. And I just closed my eyes and said: Do it.”
So nice to know we have a president who makes decisions by closing his eyes signing orders saying out loud to himself "do it" without thinking. He sounds like he has mental problems if you watch the video of him saying "I just closed my eyes and said 'Do it.'"
Too bad he didn't say "Just do it." maybe Nike would add a 136th lawsuit against him since becoming president for stealing their slogan.
Proving he has mental problems:
“It’s up, it’s running, it’s beautiful, it’s great. Everybody is happy, the sun is shining, the water’s still clean. When I approved it, I thought I’d take a lot of heat. But I took none, actually none. But I take so much heat for nonsense that it probably overrode the other,” Trump added.
Oh yeah the thousands of people protesting are all just so happy. It's such a wonderful life. No heat? What are lawsuits? The water is clean? I guess he hasn't heard of the leaks they had already. He is deranged.
