Indians used to be about the only minority for which I had any sympathy.

The current tribes stole it from the previous tribes. Bet they don’t mention that part.

They are not peaceful protesters if they are blocking the road. Shoot them or run them over, but by all means kill them DRT (dead right there).

The crowd is there, cheering and happy as Pres. TRUMP delivers the amazing, courageous and gallant truths about this great country and its history!! God has blessed this land of the free & home of the brave! We can be thankful we are Americans, living in freedom here in the USA!
The anarchists can go pound sand in prison if they continue their illegalities! Crooks will be held accountable to the law in Court when they cross the line into insurrection.

A bulldozer would have moved the vans in about 10 minutes. Make them a pile of junk. Then fine the owners everyday they remain on the side of the road. Problem solved. If the Indians want to cause trouble call the buffalo soldiers. Some of them might remember how well that turned out for them

Whoever owns/rented the vans is going to have a yuge bill to repair the vehicles, repair the roads, tow service.

Someday, there will be somebody with nothing to lose, who will gun the accelerator and just plow through these criminals! Make sure it’s a real big SUV.

If only protesters fought as hard for the country as against the President. Follow the money. Were they really American Indians?

It wasn't an issue last year.
It isn't this year. You have what you have... that's it.

Fascists prevent opposing political views from being aired. They are not interested in a public conversation about opposing views. They are undemocratic, illiberal. and reactionary. Fascists block folks from attending Trump rallies, boycott FaceBook for permitting conservative ideas, encourage Twitter to censor and silence conservative tweets, physically block conservative speakers from addressing college students, boycott businesses in any way connected to a conservative cause, etc. Fascism is un-American

#4, it was pretty much a game of musical chairs, and we paid whoever was sitting in the chair at that particular time. Indians didn't have deeds.
