quote [ Hoeven — a former North Dakota governor and vocal supporter of both the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines — was elected to lead the committee on Tuesday.
Sen. Hoeven's new job is ironic because he has repeatedly opposed causes that Native Americans support. The Dakota Access Pipeline is the most recent example. As thousands of protesters from across Indian Country converged on Cannon Ball, North Dakota, over the latter half of 2016 to block the pipeline's completion, Hoeven called the protests "violent" and asked President Barack Obama to deploy federal law enforcement to quell them. ] tl/dr: US Senate says "Fuck you, Indians."
#Native American #pipeline #protest #Are we great again yet?

Republicans know they can't govern effectively. They know that after 2-4 years, most of America is going to be pissed off at them. So they're rushing to make life easier for themselves as quickly as possible while they still can, any maybe thinking about how they can get away with blaming it on the Democrats while they're at it.
