Some of the Texas landowners that voted for him are now feeling the sting of Karma. Fuck 'em.

Well then, I guess they just didn't take him seriously! And I'm betting MANY people here never even knew this happened. Irony on steroids. TEXANS having their land TAKEN for a Canadian pipeline company. Amazing how the PARTY of PROPERTY RIGHTS will bludgeon the little guy if they get in the way!!
Keystone XL pipeline is issue of property rights for some ranchers
By Steven Mufson,
July 27, 2012
John Harter stood on his ranch in the flat sun, a stiff breeze muffling the sound of his voice. Small sandy mounds rose behind him. In front, lay pasture and grazing cattle. At an old well, he stopped to point to water just five or six feet below the surface. Now he looked back at the row of tall cottonwood trees where his pickup truck was parked.
The Keystone XL pipeline would come through right here, he said.
He doesn’t want it to, and he’s even fought to stop it. It’s not a question of how much TransCanada pays him. He just doesn’t want strangers and heavy equipment tearing a 110-foot-wide gash through his land, cutting down trees and burrowing under the sand hills and pasture.
He worries that it could take years for the land to recover. And the pipeline, buried four or five feet deep, will be sitting in water, the same water that is part of the vast Ogallala aquifer and which lies so close to the surface that his pasture does not need to be irrigated. He worries that a spill or leak will spread because the soil is so porous.
“I worry about what they will do to the tall cottonwoods and what they will do to this view,” he said, “and the beauty of it is irreplaceable.”
But Harter, like thousands of other landowners, doesn’t have much choice. Two days earlier, Harter had been in court trying to stop TransCanada, which had asked a judge to let it exercise eminent domain and force Harter to give it access to his land.
Harter lost.
The Keystone XL pipeline has reignited the emotional issue of eminent domain — the taking of private property for public use — all along its proposed route. The vast majority of landowners have signed agreements with TransCanada, the pipeline owner. But where necessary, the Calgary, Alberta-based company is busy going to state courts to exercise eminent domain and lining up rights to cross properties throughout the Great Plains — even though the State Department and Obama administration still are weighing whether to give TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline a permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border...

Yes, it was the first thing he was going to do. What does it look like? I missed it. And Mexico was going to pay for it, That is why we do not need 5 billion. It is free to us.https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...uld-write-che/

A little research will show you how all Texas counties voted in 2016 and none of the South Texas counties voted for Trump. A little research also shows the congressional districts combine the South Texas counties with those much farther north including large urban areas. The Republican votes did not come from the border counties. It is not difficult.
A little research and common sense shows who is really full of BS.
