Maybe the point is we should stop encouraging the use and extraction of oil, and switch to a form of energy that does not damage the environment as bad.

We have more than enough oil as is. The last thing we need to be doing is investing in new infrastructure to encourage the industry to continue expanding. And sure, most of us rely on using oil every day, but that’s only because we’ve collectively structured our economy and lifestyles around it to the point where it’s…

What is that, 1700 miles of unsupervised pipeline? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Yes, quite ironic that if the Green Party folks in MI, WI, and PA voted for Hillary instead of Jill Stein, that a) DAPL would still be on hold while environmentalists actually could have made their case to Clinton (a la Obama) to put a hold/stop to this and b) Keystone XL *definitely* would be dead.

Yeah...

but enough about Steve Bannon

Holy cow 28 jobs?!?! That’s one more than 27!

“Should the DAPL become fully operational, North Dakota could earn as much as $110 million in tax revenue”

I wish there was some sort of readily available metaphor for having a pipe just shoved down everyone’s throat with/without lubrication. If only there was some human behavior that could be an analog for this fucking shit stick of a travesty.

Well it’s going to take a lot of fuel to keep that dumpster fire burning for the next 4 years.

Nope. It’s our fault. The people who think The Bachelor is romantic, the people who elect Congresscritters from the Real World, the people who watch a Survivor contestant with their morning coffee, all of us. It’s our fucking fault for elevating this.

I seem to remember all the talk show weirdos stayed within the talk show circle though. They didn’t bleed into the real world like they do now. You never saw some asshole from Maury outside of a Maury show.

damn...i’d be raining stars on you right now if i could..... we need less stupid on tv... i directly blame stupid tv for brexit and trump... and nearly wilders in my case

And in unrelated news Iggy Azalea is still trying the verbal blackface thing

She also unleashed the hideously unscientific John Grey and his “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” bullshit.

Wait, does she put he accent on there in Ireland or when she gets back>? Because if I’m an Irish guy in Ireland and she comes up with her “Lucky Charms” version of an Irish accent I’m assuming I’m being made fun of.

“cash me out,” she said, as an aside.
