Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
well, there you have it, the donald exposed himself and you are about to get fucked.

just to clear up any doubts you might have about his agenda, the donald has revealed that he is either ignorant of what the constitution says ( he believes that the gov should own the state's lands) - or he is NOT going to support - but IGNORE the supreme law of this land...and call it "progressive"

of course you knew that all along, one of the first things he promised was a bigger Military ... which translates BIGGER GOVERNMENT ... to give us "security" (in exchange for our last freedom - privacy) - so we can "bomb the hell out of them and TAKE THEIR OIL"

which all really depends on whether obummer leaves - or not

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump's concern over States selling their land when in a tight space isn't unheard of. It happens all the time:

[link to www.wsj.com]

Here is a great article about people privately buying ranches and vast swaths of land. They are billionaires hence why Trump is in the know and many are not.


The interview is with the hunting and fishing magazine Field and Stream and when States sell their land to private owners, they typically do not allow for others to go onto their land without a heftier fee. Upkeep also takes a sharp decline.
 Quoting: TrumpsRedHat


Maybe you should donate your property to .gov then.

People who believe Trump is the great savior will possibly have a rude awakening.

Trust no one. Give no one your undying support. Think critically.

I'm not saying Trump is a bad choice, I'm just amazed at the Trump mania which swallows the hype and fails to look critically at the substance.
 Quoting: Mr. Cynic


Trump is BY FAR the best choice of the candidates running. There's nothing wrong with supporting him vociferously. It doesn't make you a sheep or some mindless drone.

Why should anyone go out of their way to find a reason to hate Trump when there is no better alternative to him in the race? I know OP thinks Rand Paul is her savior, but anyone who has been watching knows he is a snake in the grass already. Trump is not perfect. No human is. He knows this country is in trouble and he wants to do the best he can to help. That is more than anyone has been able to expect from a candidate in a long time and anyone who would demand anything more than that from him is going to be disappointed no matter who they vote for.

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
The casino thing was theoretical. I am all for his stance on NAFTA. Why should foreign goods flood our states when the tariffs on our goods to those same foreign states are cost prohibitive, but at what cost for this to be done? Some of these entities own the majority of our debt. What will be Trumps leverage? Right now our commons are being used as leverage.
What else is there? So stands to reason that is what Trump will use. So yeah you will still get to hunt that barren reclaimed mining site (cause China is so eco friendly).
While the NSA steps up micro-mining mega data to create biodynamic lists of who could or might be a terrorist on the merican populace. While the military industrial complex in an attempt to remain biggest and best beyond comprehension, sale arms to the same countries who foment terrorism or this or that rebel faction, thereby increasing the demand for our #1 export.

Sorry Trumpeters a wall is not gonna fix problems like that no matter who pays for it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26876902


Sorry, head in the sand denier, but if you cant see the direction that we are headed, then you surely will not understand that there is not one politician who will stop it. I have not seen any damage done to the NWO plan by any of these politicians. Only acquiescence.

Care to share what you plan to do this election? Rand Paul, who wants to increase the military industrial complex by $190 billion?? Is that your plan?

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
Trump is an idiot. I supported him initially, but now I can see that he was only prepared to say a couple of things that the majority of idiots want to hear him say. Anything else, and he's lost.

Watch the video of him answering the 'Nuclear Triad' question. Just google it and watch. The guy even explains to him what the triad is as part of the question.

I have come to the conclusion that he is either a bit slow, or he is quite literally making a mockery of our intelligence. It's the Lois Griffin strategy. The saddest part is, I think it is the latter, and it's working.

It doesn't much matter anyway. The country I grew up in has faded and gone, replaced with a corporate shell. There is no saving it. Idiocracy has become a reality. Welcome to 2016. Excuse me while I go try and drown myself in a pile of snow.

NO MAJOR POLITICIAN TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT WHERE HE REALLY STANDS...i.e. no one you ever see on major network debates. Not since the 20s.

Sorry to have to burst your bubble, but Donald is probably just the best actor, and the most well versed on populist rhetoric (most of the time) of the current batch of Rockefeller/NWO-approved candidates. In truth, he is an absolutely megalomaniacal monster who will do NONE of the good things he claims he will do after he is elected. There is always some trumped up excuse (sorry for the bad pun) that prevents them from "doing what they really wanted to do."

Maybe he is the best choice (though I believe Paul is better) but that doesn't make him a good choice. He is an arrogant, self-aggrandizing, uninformed, pompous ass. Period.

Of course we've had a few of those as president already so he's in good company.

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
I find it concerning that the number one gripe from Trump's critics on this issue is that Eminent Domain is somehow unconstitutional or that it isn't conservative. It is right there in the Fifth Amendment and PLENTY of conservatives have used it before. It isn't something new and yes it doesn't exactly fit with our private property rights as we like to know them in the country. But if you are going to criticize something like this at least educate yourselves on the issue before posting.

In the US intelligence community and I had to google the Nuclear Triad also. It isn't commonly used and certainly was irrelevant in the debate. I mean, I've deployed on nuclear powered submarines that could put warheads on foreheads and NOBODY uses the term.

That isn't what was being discussed. Can you read the comment I replied to before you respond. the issue was with:

So I responded that the Constitution DOES in fact give the Federal government authority to do so.

So your comment is either directed at someone else or you are trying to take this conversation in an entirely different direction.

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
I find it concerning that the number one gripe from Trump's critics on this issue is that Eminent Domain is somehow unconstitutional or that it isn't conservative. It is right there in the Fifth Amendment and PLENTY of conservatives have used it before. It isn't something new and yes it doesn't exactly fit with our private property rights as we like to know them in the country. But if you are going to criticize something like this at least educate yourselves on the issue before posting.

Good GOD man!! We understand your point. But the reason it was put in there was to protect The People, not provide a mechanism for .gov seizure.

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
well, there you have it, the donald exposed himself and you are about to get fucked.

just to clear up any doubts you might have about his agenda, the donald has revealed that he is either ignorant of what the constitution says ( he believes that the gov should own the state's lands) - or he is NOT going to support - but IGNORE the supreme law of this land...and call it "progressive"

of course you knew that all along, one of the first things he promised was a bigger Military ... which translates BIGGER GOVERNMENT ... to give us "security" (in exchange for our last freedom - privacy) - so we can "bomb the hell out of them and TAKE THEIR OIL"

which all really depends on whether obummer leaves - or not

WRONG! Eminent Domain is in the Constitution and has been protected since day one.


Guess The Don knows more about the Constitution than you do lol
 Quoting: TrumpsRedHat


Once again, Eminent Domain can not be used by the government to take a citizen's property so it can give it to another citizen or private company.

It can only be used to take property for public use (roads, government buildings, bases, etc...)

Please stop trying to say the former is the same as the latter.

You're better than that...

That isn't what was being discussed. Can you read the comment I replied to before you respond. the issue was with:

"the donald has revealed that he is either ignorant of what the constitution says ( he believes that the gov should own the state's lands) - or he is NOT going to support - but IGNORE the supreme law of this land...and call it "progressive""

So I responded that the Constitution DOES in fact give the Federal government authority to do so.

So your comment is either directed at someone else or you are trying to take this conversation in an entirely different direction.

Re: Donald Trump: Don't hand federal lands to states
We have to pick our fights, and Trump will fight on terrorism, borders and trade.

Federal or state lands issue is small potatoes in the bigger picture.

And screw us over on property rights.

Last time I checked, I own my property and Trump isn't trying to take it or anyone else's.

Get a grip.
 Quoting: Cigarette_Smoking_Man


I hate to tell you this, but you don't own it.

When you fail to make payments on something, the owner comes and takes it.

So don't pay taxes on your property. Then come see who takes "your" property.

The owner, that's who.

And notice there are lots of taxes attached to your property. Fail to pay any of them and you lose it. Schools, hospital district etc etc.
