I don't like that one either.

Point 12 of the 28 point Trump Gettysburg address will insure the obstructionists are blasted out of the way and that oil can flow freely through the keystone pipeline.

1. Lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.

Who knows what methods will be used in January when the temperature is below zero? The only obama-clinton roadblock is the protesters themselves, who are not working for obama or clinton. 

Perhaps Donald is not a true Republocrat, like the rest of his party, and hillary's party, but his policy makers definitely are. Oil corporations and banks first folks, has he threatened to arrest any bank execs? any BP  or Exxon execs? nope not a word.

#NoDAPL UPDATE 4:30pm 11/21

Confirmed. A water protector sustained a critical injury last night and is now facing an amputation of her arm. Her name is Sophia Wilansky. She is currently at a Minneapolis hospital.

Sophia was struck directly by a concussion grenade last night on the front lines of back water Bridge.

I will not share the images based on request of family....

The family has requested that you DO NOT CONTACT the hospital directly.
Please respect the communication flow.
We will all be updated as soon as possible as to how we can assist in Sophia's recovery.

The Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council released this statement: “The physicians and tribal healers with the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council call for the immediate cessation of use of water cannons on people who are outdoors in 28F ambient weather with no means of active rewarming in these conditions. As medical professionals, we are concerned for the real risk of loss of life due to severe hypothermia under these conditions.”
