A 35 page memorandum that found the Dakota Access as wrong, dangerous, and probably illegal suppressed. (Silver lining: But excellent case for injunction and court case.)
A three page report by the DHS that found the Muslin Ban of those particular seven countries irrelevant and unnecessary to US security is suppressed by the WH. But it was leaked.
Welcome to our growing Police State.
WH pressures FBI to say Russian connection between Trump or his staff does not exist. Wh pressures the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees, supposedly independent, to call reporters and tell them this Russia connection is a non-story. They obey. And admit it. It is an ongoing investigation, barely begun, and even if it were almost finished, such actions by the Chairs is thoroughly in appropriate, if not criminal. Life under Trump following the admired life of Stalin by Steve Bannon. The Russians are not coming, the Russians are not coming: they are here. America has taken its first step, or even it's second or third, into the grave of history.
Sorry but Trump is the worst thing that has ever happened to this Country. Like a feral hog or a lynching or a Civil War. The man is just scum. Seriously. No saving grace. I think you will not help but see that before too long.
A 35 page memorandum that found the Dakota Access ... (

I suppose this is an example of your "excellence," and of your "factual statements" that no one disproves. The following link has a map of the pipeline route and the almost non-existent Indian land it supposedly affects.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/21/us/dakota-access-pipeline-protests/Concerning the ban on ALL people, (NOT just "Muslims") from the seven countries; the leaked report you refer to is incomplete, it is based on the cherrypicked findings of one agency, and has not been vetted or verified by other intelligence and security agencies. It does have the advantage of agreeing with you, which is why you chose to mention it.
You ignore the fact that in spite of what the Ninth Circuit Court, (composed of Judges picked for political views rather than judicial competence) has decreed, the Constitution and the United States Code both give the president a very large amount of leeway in banning both individuals and groups from entering the US. This has been upheld by the SCOTUS more than once. (The Ninth Court, by the way, enjoys the distinction of having had more than 80% of their decisions that were reviewed by the SCOTUS reversed or vacated.) They are political hacks and appointees. However, they hold the same viewpoints as you on most issues, Constitutional or not.
Concerning the "Russians are coming," you had better not ever mention "conspiracy theories" again if you believe this crap. I have heard repeated statements about
all 17 US intelligence agencies agreeing, but I have not seen proof of any but two; the FBI and CIA, both staffed with Obama appointees. I have yet to read or hear the first Liberal Hobbit Dancer dispute the fact that the DNC emails that
SOMEONE hacked and leaked to Wiki were anything other than true. The election was not hacked. Evidence of Democrat malfeasance and dishonesty was discovered and published. Nothing was made up except the Russian origin of the hackers. Even the president of McAfee said that if the evidence points to the Russian government, that is pretty conclusive proof that they did not do it, because hackers are so good at covering their tracks.
BTW, this is the same FBI who claimed that Russian government hackers were so sophisticated that it was unlikely any hacks of Hillary's emails could be proven to originate with them. Now that the dirty deeds of the DNC are exposed, it's the Russians, it's the Russians! The same Russians who were too competent to get caught when the FBI was giving Hillary a mulligan. I suppose they had a little too much vodka that night.
I notice that you, too, have made no effort to claim any of the emails published by Wiki were false, or planted, or anything other than true, yet you blame the Russians for your own party's dirty tricks. Had there been no wrongdoing, then there would have been nothing to hack. That must be a novel concept for Liberals, since they have so much trouble comprehending it.
By the way, one more thing about the pipeline..... The Sioux, (or Lakota, if you prefer) are certainly concerned about "their" land. Did you ever consider how they came into possession of most of it? By exterminating the Indians who already lived there. Why do you think the Utes, and the Pawnees and the Crow Indians usually fought with the white man, rather than against him? Because their land had already been forcefully taken from them. By the Lakota. That is what warlike tribes did. They simply moved in and took over. Then squalled when the white man did to them what they had done to so many others.
