All I get is page after page of 2016 and Obama blocking the pipeline. It's fucking laughable.

You should have no problem providing the source of ^ that proclaimed knowledge if it's true. But, you can't, so I consider it unsubstantiated bullshit. Plus, ETP already publicly denied the rumor that it ever tried to bribe the Sioux.
As far as the opinions you just posted, I'm aware of Obama's positions and interviews (though I don't follow Facebook). I takes two seconds to pull up an interview, but no need.
In any event, I never said that politics, finances, posturing, and valid complaints (on all sides) aren't factors in this matter. They almost always are in these types of disputes and this one is no different based on the court docs, interviews, and articles that I've read.
