Niagara Bill Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 When Trump is re elected and he will, in the first 90 days you will here talk of increasing time limits past 2 terms. The founding fathers agreed that citizens could carry assault rifles, and did not say 8 yrs max. An internal enemy will be identified, Duck Dynasty guys will blame this group for loss of hunting grounds, Taco Bell will be punished as being non American and Rush L Will be made US Ambassador to UN. Putin will coach him and Kim will party in the Whitehouse. Trump will proclaim his border wall is greater than the Berlin wall. Or the dems win the election and Bernie bankrupts the country in 24 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Buffalo Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Kemp said: Through November 15, the Trump administration had filed 29 eminent domain suits tied to border-wall construction this year, up from 11 each of the past two years, according to federal court records. All but four of this year's suits were filed in Texas. Eminent domain is the right of a government to seize private land for public use, while providing compensation. I think you are trying to show how Trump has taken rights but eminent domain has existed since the beginning of our country and using to secure our border is an appropriate use of it. I am more of the mindset that taking away my right to go to the doctor of my choosing, or take away my right to choose where my child goes to school.

Orlando Buffalo Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Kemp said: If the 2020 elections go against Trump and he claims that the election was rigged and refuses to accept the results, will you support him in his actions? I understand that it falls into the unlikely category, but replying with a non-answer would be saying you would back him. The only answer that does not endorse a dictatorship would be to reject his assertion and agree that he must leave. You should probably change your name to someone who was not a reasonable politician- maybe become pelosi or Schiff. Trump will not have the backing of anyone of importance to stay, so he will leave. When Trump wins will you accept it or will I have 4 more years of hearing about the popular vote as Dems lie to smear him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminent domain was/is used to build the interstate highways that we all enjoy. By some of the best D gleaming presidential examples too (FDR, JFK). I'm not sure where the outrage can even be kindled here. Edited February 2, 2020 by ScotSHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the government can steal your property if they think it's a good thing. Yeah, I'm sure you would be fine with that if it was your property. They do it every day. Do you think I volunteer a portion of my earning to fund npr, or planned parenthood, or to send to Ukraine to line the pockets of the well connected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already suggested to that pos that he should change his name and avatar to someone more in line with his thinking. I think I suggested "Tiberius2". As far as imminent domain goes I think we should take over the Canadian falls since it's only defended by people like Niagara Bill. Like shooting fish in a barrel, taking candy from a baby or besting Bob in Michigan in anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Mexican cartels have bought a good deal of border property. So the chance is good that they are forcing the cartels to sell it back. ...why but you're UN-American wanting to protect our country.....what the eff EVER happened to Ellis Island and THE legal way like both sets of my grandparents from Italy endured?...who changed the rules and why?.......and neither EVER had EBT cards, food stamps, GOOBERment assistance....WTF was welfare?...they found work and persevered as to whatever it took to raise families.....no Escalades either..........

Haha. That’s funny! Even if Trump wins the popular vote, he already stole our votes by asking Ukraine to meddle. He will do it again, dontcha know. I wish we could go back to 2012 when I could just vote for whomever I wanted without being brainwashed by Trump and his foreign brainwashers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are being sarcastic- or I am pretty sure you are- but I have a co-worker who basically said that 2020 is already illegitimate because of it, so you do a great impersonation of a liberal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. When over 80% of us want term limits, why isn't there a strong grass roots movement to push current office holders at the national level to support term limits?

So, the government can steal your property if they think it's a good thing. Yeah, I'm sure you would be fine with that if it was your property. Trump is so evil, he started using eminent domain as far back as 1876. Here are just a few examples of his tyrannical avarice: "The 1930s brought a flurry of land acquisition cases in support of New Deal policies that aimed to resettle impoverished farmers, build large-scale irrigation projects, and establish new national parks. Condemnation was used to acquire lands for the Shenandoah, Mammoth Cave, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. See Morton Butler Timber Co. v. United States, 91 F.2d 884 (6th Cir. 1937)). Thousands of smaller land and natural resources projects were undertaken by Congress and facilitated by the Division’s land acquisition lawyers during the New Deal era. For example, condemnation in United States v. Eighty Acres of Land in Williamson County, 26 F. Supp. 315 (E.D. Ill. 1939), acquired forestland around a stream in Illinois to prevent erosion and silting, while Barnidge v. United States, 101 F.2d 295 (8th Cir. 1939), allowed property acquisition for and designation of a historic site in St. Louis associated with the Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon Trail. During World War II, the Assistant Attorney General called the Lands Division “the biggest real estate office of any time or any place.” It oversaw the acquisition of more than 20 million acres of land. Property was transformed into airports and naval stations (e.g., Cameron Development Company v. United States 145 F.2d 209 (5th Cir. 1944)), war materials manufacturing and storage (e.g., General Motors Corporation v. United States, 140 F.2d 873 (7th Cir. 1944)), proving grounds, and a number of other national defense installations." The super fiend! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
