Standing Rock Protesters Attacked by Police and National Guard
Well, well – big surprise. Obama and his arch enemy Trump seem to be in the same camp when it comes to oil. Not surprisingly, Trump ordered an attack on the protesters and arrested 76 of them on January 29, overruling the earlier Obama decision to back off.

The Republicrats serve one master, the party of capital.
