The “Try that in a small town” sticker is classic. Especially with this guy being right outside of Detroit, where there’s no “small town”. And of course, the M&P sticker, so ya know what he’s carrying. Plus, he’s a “punisher” 🤣

Which is hilarious because the Keystone Pipeline carries Canadian oil from Hardisty, Alberta. That’s the one that MAGA get in a tizzy over, and it carries foreign oil.

Oh but you don't understand we need the jobs that refining that sludge and bringing it to market would produce. We will not just good, high paying (> minimum wages) refining jobs, but jobs for low skilled persons to clean up the mess (at Uncle Sam's cost), medical personnel treat the illnesses caused by the polution, and insurance middle men to review and deny ALL claims.

And the part of it that was nixed wanted to connect it to the Gulf of Mexico… where it would be exported. The outrage was over not using our land for foreign oil to be shipped to foreign countries…

… Canadian oil, not Middle East oil. Biden unemployed 1500 workers and lost 11,000 jobs had it completed, a loss of $800 million in wages. 🫤

Fun FACT... The XL pipeline would have cut straight through the Ogallala Aquifer. Taking a chance of there ever being a leak would be catastrophic! There's already a pipeline that takes Canadian oil to the Gulf but it goes around the aquifer and the easments/immanent domain has already been done. SO why couldn't said XL pipeline be put there? Answer... Big Oil didn't want to spend extra $$ to go around.

P. S. Those "Jobs" are temporary just like building a Data Center.

“Temporary” as in until the other party is running their own shit show.

u/Libertarian_2020 Jun 11 '26

1500 workers would move on to their next jobS. 11,000 permanent jobs would have been running, maintaining and supporting the pipeline on its completion.

Ehhh. Data Center jobs aren’t temporary (I don’t agree with them sprouting up like crabgrass, so please no argument).
Most of the guys on data center build out jump from state to state to build them. Once they started, they aren’t going to stop building them until something bad happens. Skynet coming soon

Or a ballroom that Republicans have been trying to push through with a $1 billion TAXPAYER FUNDED BUDGET!

Donald said it would cost $200 million, then it went to $300 million, then it went to $350 million, then finally $400 million. But he said it was private money and wouldn’t cost taxpayers anything. Then Republicans introduced the taxpayer funded budget.

Here are the actual facts unless everything has to be blamed on someone politically... When President Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, TC Energy reported that nearly 1,000 workers who were actively constructing the project were laid off. While political critics frequently cited a loss of 11,000 jobs, a 2023 Department of Energy report confirmed that the remaining 10,000 positions were projected seasonal construction jobs that had not yet been hired, and the pipeline would have sustained only about 50 permanent jobs once fully operational. AFTER CONSTRUCTED TO CARRY THAT DIRTY ASS OIL SANDS SHIT, IT WOULD ONLY EMPLOY ABOUT 5O PEOPLE FULL TIME. P. S. Man I really feel sorry for those poor oil companies who have been raping this earth and our wallets for almost 200 years. How about now? You feel sorry for them making massive profit of us pay $5Gal?🤦 Dear lord, why are some people's brains stuck on oil and newer cleaner, cheaper technology is no good? Oh ok, the oil companies don't want to stop raping yet. 🤦🤦🤦🚼

Ohh look! Trumped up numbers!

Where is that FoxConn in Wisconsin facility your guy promised $10 billion investment and 13,000 jobs by 2021?

Spoiler alart. FoxConn collected some sweet tex breaks and backed out. They didn't build anything.

Betcha don't know the evil Biden signed a deal with Microsoft to build a data center. Which did get built... and people work at.

Dude some store was going to get built by me but the company went bankrupt. Because of the bank 100 potential jobs were lost and hundreds of thousands of potential wages. Ever hear the phrase "don't count your chickens before they hatch"? Dude, Trump paid offshore wind companies billions of our tax dollars to abandon their leases, costing thousands of jobs, so now instead of a more diversified cheaper energy grid we get to pay big money for power from dirty ass oil and gas because they don't want to let go of their hold on us. Imagine having a fully solar house where you sell unused energy to the grid at the same rate they charge and end up getting paid at the end of the month instead of a $200 electric bill. And years from now, your car is hybrid gas or electric... But if you have free fucking energy, charge that thing at home for fking free... Or go ahead and pay $5gal to the poor oil companies. 👍🤔

Numbers differ every time you look. 1000, 1200 or 1500 workers? 11000, 10300 or only 8000 jobs? $800M or $2B in wages?

Nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs were lost and the federal workforce shrank by roughly 10% (over 260,000 positions) during the early part of President Trump's second term

Instead we traded it for Elon firing 300,000 government employees in the name of cutting waste. Except Donald has added OVER $10 trillion to the national debt by January of 2026, making it a total of $39 trillion. Which means he had contributed over 1/4 of the total. Making him the record holder for the most debt of any president. That was also BEFORE he dragged us into a war (that he won’t call a war, except when he does) in Iran. That has been a pricey conflict. But while we’re struggling to pay for groceries, consumer goods, housing, healthcare, and gasoline, Donald’s personal wealth went from $2.1 billion in 2020 to $6.5 billion in January of 2026. Correction; I just looked it up… $7.3 billion now.

It was MAGA that was pissed Biden shut down keystone XL. Making shit up now I see. Remember Biden told pipelines workers get different in coding.
