Nebraska regulators approved an alternative route Monday for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. It was the last major regulatory hurdle facing project operator TransCanada Corp., though opponents say another round of federal approval may now be needed.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission's ruling was on the Nebraska route TransCanada has proposed to complete the $8 billion, 1,179-mile (1,897-kilometer) pipeline to deliver oil from Alberta, Canada, to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The proposed Keystone XL route would cross parts of Montana, South Dakota and most of Nebraska to Steele City, Nebraska.
The long-delayed project was rejected by President Barack Obama in 2015, citing concerns about carbon pollution. President Donald Trump revived it in March, approving a permit.
[...] The five-member Nebraska Public Service Commission was forbidden by law from factoring pipeline safety or the risk of spills into its decision because pipeline safety is a federal responsibility. So, it couldn't take into account a spill of 210,000 gallons (790,000 liters) of oil on the existing Keystone pipeline in South Dakota announced on Thursday.

You're fascinating, like an overgrown three-legged dung beetle. I have a very hard time imagining the circumstances that allow you to be alive, and whether those circumstances call for you to perform any sort of activities one might possibly call "work", as that would almost certainly involve the impossible conundrum of willing long-term exposure of you to an adult with an IQ of 90 or more.
Are you a professional panhandler? Got a selection of cardboard signs and store exits you rotate through?

Oh, and now you're doing copy/pasta? I'm disappointed. Well, at least you're still about as funny as a fart joke. Consider that a complement, I like fart jokes, but some new material couldn't hurt. A different chatbot perhaps...

Maybe you suckered someone into marrying you when you were younger, attractive, and in a State which allowed you to divorce them and then get a big payday every few weeks for life?
There aren't that many scenarios I can come up with that involve you obtaining necessary life resources without also immediately driving away the source of said resources due to your transparent lying [soylentnews.org], constant projecting of your own character flaws onto others who do not have them, and your juxtaposing display of arrogance and ignorance [soylentnews.org] in profound quantities.
I'd like to believe they broke your mold after making you, but I recently had the misfortune of watching an interview with your kindred spirit, LaVar Ball. [youtube.com] (Ball, Cuomo, and Trump all suck as far as I'm concerned.)

But please! Don't stop trying. You really are quite the spectacle. And you bring tabloid press to life.

I don't suppose you'd break your untarnished record and actually provide a reference for one of your many incredible claims?
