Trump green-lit it in 2017, and it went nowhere. I say good riddance to it.

I'm sorry, but if any company sank big bucks into that project, their risk management is pretty poor, and they got what they deserved. There are many options for new projects that are much more stable and likely to succeed. Indeed the powers that be are smart enough to see the difference between the high-risk XL project and customary or traditional projects with a low risk of interruption or failure.

Therefore, by Rich's logic, Trump is a rotten traitorous scumbag who used his political capital to enrich himself and his family. As I said, it's so funny that the GOP does everything, and I mean everything they accuse Democrats of doing.

Guess we should go to a part two of a thread if the first reaches 10 pages. Too bad we can’t lock a thread and then have a link to part two, three, etc. - just a workaround but would rather the threads just keep going. Hopefully Herb’s IT guys can fix it.
Cheers, Jim

But, we expect to arm every civilian and have them be as confident and in control as that young man? That's unrealistic.
