    1. King OfTroy : You mean, “jobs for the mobs,” right? Trump trolls are so dumb, it renders them impotent. We can be grateful for that at least 😉

    2. King OfTroy : Great, “argument,” there, son. “Now we’re all persuaded,” NOT 🤣

    3. King OfTroy : good for the indigenous people of America. Corporate America can go fcuk themselves. Get a job planting vegetables or something useful. The oil industry is killing our planet.

  1. Wake Up America! It’s Step in the right direction to Peace of our Native Nations… It is a good day to LIVE!

    1. King OfTroy : I have nothing against Copy&Pasted remarks, per se. But, when trump trolls are ranting, “jobs for the mobs,” you just look like an uninformed trump tramp. Have any idea how MANY people have been injured by the oil company, “mob,” son?

    2. @King OfTroy coal and oil have been loosing money for decades, science has outpaced that 1800s crap, we have better now.

    3. King OfTroy this pipeline didn’t create permanent jobs you corporate 💩 head it’s built now so the 1000-2000 people working on it are gone besides techs, this pipeline did nothing for y’all but give the companies more oil and oil is still dirt cheap. Man you are stupid education in America is really failing you guys

  2. “Go back to where you came from!” screamed the t’rump supporters to Native Americans in South Dakota.

    🤔🤦

    1. @SouthSide Chicago This pipeline was carrying “low quality US shale oil” foŕ processing and export. Please feel free to fill up the tank with it next time you borrow mommy’s car! 😂

    2. @Diane Atanaciowell said 👏👏 but, its one race that think they’re superior while, they treat others as inferior all, we want is Unity & to be treated equally. Bless Stay Safe 😘

    3. @SouthSide Chicago Racism has not been around since the beginning of time. What kind of screwball hyperbole is that?

    4. @Ash Roskell Appreciate you, Ash! I too am a long-time fan of your posts. 😛
      And it warms my heart to know the appreciation is shared. Well, if my bot heart wasn’t a series of 0’s and 1’s, that is. 🤖
      Yeah, I rarely click random links, though I will often fact check the source and call that out. It’s amazing what some t’rump loser will claim as “news.”
      Stay safe, and be well! 🙏

    5. @Diane Atanacio County Diane what’s that has to do with the Lakota Sioux losing their land getting it back for it to be taken away again. They need to give Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills of South Dakota back to the Sioux Nation. Officially have this dumb f*** putting on a display. An arresting did Native Americans that were protesting about them being on their land. Trump has step to a new low. Not ask him not to do that but he did anyway. Somebody didn’t tell him that that place does not belong to him. It belongs to the Native Americans that you disrespect every time you don’t listen Trump. You are nothing but a draft-dodging piece of s*** that needs to go to prison for the rest of your life and we should need to sell all your property to get our tax money back that you’ve been ripping off since your father was alive.

  3. I was part of No DAPL!!! This should have never been allowed to be built. I’m so glad that the tribe is getting their say.

    1. Thank you so much Claudia please keep helping with the pipeline removal and educating us through your comments

    2. @avid Non Not sure of your sincerity yet, that said, I live just to the south in the bloody red state of SD and this cluster has been leaking like a boat peppered by an A-10 Warthog from the jump! 💣🚀
      One of my nieces was pregnant and living in a town that was polluted and fortunately, her dad, my little bro,
      was a sitting State Judge and got them moved out of the area quickly.
      While a glimmer of hope, this Judicial ruling is absolutely a few years too late.
      Domo.

  4. now we must call the paddy wagon for trump and they can remove him voluntarily or by force….

    1. God be merciful, and grant the citizens justice! Please let their voices be heard! Let us recognize all humans deserve equal rights, including land ownership, and environmental protection of the land! God bless America to do, and sustain the right things! God may we all understand, all men have a right to peace, health and prosperity. Hence, God keep and hold onto their rights safely for them! Anen ! Amen!

    2. Margaret Alexander : Funny that? I just thanked God for this development. All they need do now, is hold the line until January. They sacrificed blood for this, now. As have journalists

    3. I dreamt a year and a half ago that trump will be in a grey suit, possibly yellow tie when he is arrested, handcuffed and led to a police car by a FBI agent… It gives me Great Peace when I remember it.. remember trump is a smoke screen.. he is a Psychopath with no honest real integral beliefs or Morals..or ethics..

  5. Wow,they finally decided to end that disgusting Dakota pipeline project that the native Americans struggled to even being treated badly to protect there land!!

    1. Unfortunately the judge didn’t stop it permanently. Just temporarily untill a new environmental review can be completed. That will probably take a year and then a new decision has to be made. So it’s possible that in a year time the government decides to start using the pipeline anyway

    2. R vdB : They just need to hold the line, until January, when the president will end it. Their lawyers will ask for continuances, and delaying tactics, if they’re smart? Which I don’t doubt they are? The oil company is probably already planning for Plan B?

  6. This was a magnificent victory for the rights of the Native Americans and for the environment. More good news like this is needed in these dark hours.

    1. The judge only halted construction untill a new environmental review can be carried out. So it’s still possible that after the report is out the government decides to continue the project anyways.

  7. This pipeline was exactly when I started questioning Trump and realizing that it was Republicans who seemed to be the new/ average oil owners, within recent years/ decades. And Democrats succeed in climate change tech, because they been investing in it; duh. Republicans, the trash collectors.

    1. This went on under Obama & it was more disgusting & Fascist than anything even Trump could have done.

  8. Congratulations to Dakota Standing Rock Sioux! And Justice to all Native Indigenous Nations! Hold on Sisters and Brothers! ✊

  9. It’s a great day for the custodians the Native American people, the environment, future generations and all Americans.

    1. Yeah..but..it’s only one day one victory.. please keep praying and fighting and Donating to these guys. SD pipeline is Horrific

    2. @avid Non Absolutely but celebrate like you have won the war because that will sustain you.

    3. Don’t get too excited! Trump as neutered the reviewing agencies, so there is every chance of an adverse finding. People need to keep supporting the opposition.

  10. we MUST RESPECT & HONOR Treaties

    RETURN these sacred lands to their rightful heirs, whom are The Great Sioux Nation.

    1. REMOVE & REPAIR the desecration of Cougar Mountain / Six Grandfathers

      make sure YOU are registered& ready to vote, & make all your votes COUNT!

  11. They are starting to undo some of the stupidity that trump has put into place. I hope they keep going and gradually undo every ignorant executive order he has ever written.

    1. Thank you so much
      Please pray and VOTE trump OUT please help us by promoting voting, or Protesting trump, or heck just put ideas up on social media on ways to keep Protesting trump’s insanity
      good luck

    2. I pray that they take a bath in oil, now that it will be transported by train. When it eventually derails, there won’t be a drop of clean water left.

    3. @Joy Vann Of course! Why would Obamao care what energy prices are for the average American LET ALONE THE POOR. The USA has a terrible trade imbalance with the rest of the world. We need to sell natural gas and oil, but the “save the planet” eco nuts aren’t worried about OUR economy, OUR jobs, or OUR drilling locales. But believe me, if Trump loses in November and the economy collapses, you can bet that they’ll blame Trump!!

  12. So in tomorrow’s Trump tweet, “these thugs are gonna ruin our economy by trying to stop this pipeline. I will immediately sign an executive order to continue and finish the pipeline’. Meanwhile nothing will be said about the rise of the virus and the many lives that have been lost.

  13. What?! tRump lost in the courts again? The judge’s order to shut down the pipeline should make America great again!

  14. Plus Prime Minister justin Trudeau
    turns down White House invitation amid pandemic, this is not going to go well with Trump, LMAO

  15. It shouldnt feel like it, but it surely does feel a little bit as if judges around the country have recognized what this fascist regime is up to and have begun to look closer at the cases they are presented with to see the “small print”.

  16. Native lands must be saved… Native brothers & sisters should live in peace & safety…

  17. Nobody wanted the pipeline in their backyard so they sent it through Native American land.
