So to nobody’s surprise, Earth hating Republicans have turned on American Indians when in the days after Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration a career criminal commanded the US Army Corps of Engineers to expedite the Dakota Excess pipeline that violated tribal sovereignty, repeatedly cut funds for Indian education, moved to privatize Native trusts, cut foreign aid to countries with high Native populations and praised Brazil's extreme white wing autocrat who laid waste to Indigenous lands in the Amazon.
A federal judge this week allowed 13 more Republican-led states to intervene as co-defendants in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s new lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,” Standing Rock Chairwoman Janet Alkire said in an October press conference announcing the lawsuit. In a separate federal court case, North Dakota seeks $38 million from the United States government for costs the state says it incurred responding to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

Irony is just another casualty of Wyoming's wildfires which cleared a half million acres of fences, power lines, dry grasses, sagebrush, ponderosa pine and juniper in Republican ranch country even as the Biden administration reaches out to those serial ecoterrorists who rely on moral hazard to survive. The Small Business Administration makes Economic Injury Disaster Loans available when the US Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster.
Primary Wyoming counties receiving bailouts are Campbell, Converse, Niobrara and Weston but Custer, Fall River, Lawrence and Pennington Counties in South Dakota will also receive federal handouts per the rewards of democratic socialism.
Federal dollars are available to help Wyomingites recover from this year’s large, persistent wildfires. Some 850,000 acres burned in Wyoming this year – the majority on private lands. [State creates guide for navigating federal funds for wildfire recovery on private lands]
And speaking of pooping in your own water supplies then begging for pipeline boondoggle money for lawns, golf courses, feedlots, a ramen factory in Belle Fourche, the Bismarck Trail Ranch and Rally campgrounds with tax dollars spent on carving through Native America for white privilege?
Yep, the grassland fire danger index will reach the very high category again Thursday for much of occupied South Dakota.
Irony is dead
