If you were a landowner, and maybe you are .. .

and your favorite president wanted to seize it , would you roll over for him? Since he is so great for the economy, I predict that you certainly would.

Locally, our city uses eminent (Sp) domain to grab what it wants.

And in this case Trump reportedly had advised his people to grab the land even if illegallyand he would pardon them.

Got a link to what this topic is about?

In EVERY case, the owner must be compensated at fair market value.
This can also include the value of all improvements and the cost of stopping or moving whatever you were doing on the property.
As you might guess, the owner often thinks it is worth more than the seizing agency wants to pay. The owner always has the right to bring suit, and then the court will decide the value. Appeals are also possible after that judgement.
This happened when the City took the block where they built the Convention center parking garage.
It was owned by the cranky local attorney who shot Dick Chaney while they were quail hunting, about 20-25 years ago.
Long story short, the City of Austin was forced to pay close to 20 million bucks when the owner sued, after he claimed their original offer of 1.2 million was too low.
Of course that included the original value, plus loss of income and interest over several years.

This thread is about Trumps border wall campaign promise that he can't get built.
But it really doesn't matter because he's gonna make Mexico pay for it.
Remember now?

POTUS has told so many whoppers since this one that it often gets forgotten, like so many other whoppers he tells, seemingly every day.
I know a lot of people will still vote for him, including women who like the idea of a rich racist grabbing them by the pussy, conservative Christian activists, and old white guys who must have terminal amnesia.

IMHO.

I don't know how anyone could possibly disagree, but I'll be interested to read all the opposite views that are certain to follow.

"conservative Christian activists,"


Dude, in all due respect,I humbly request that you not refer to "those people" as "Christian". They are not Christian in by my estimation due to their hatred and animosity toward others not just like them. They do not follow the tenets set forth by J.C. and , therefore, are not Christians.



Thanks you in advance.

The convenient detail about Christianity is that you can be one simply by declaring it. Nobody has to agree with you or accept you as a member.

And you can drift away and return as often as you feel like it, or find it convenient.

Maybe "Groundhog Day Christians" is a better reference, since POTUS has now rejoined the ranks of the Holy Roller Voters.
And it sounds about as ingenuine as Trump does.

Maybe POTUS can make Mexico pay for the wall, and then NOT build it.
He can use all those pesos to pay down some of this year's budget deficit, and use the balance to build the Trump Tower Moscow in 2021, since he won't have anything else to do.

Sorry, sir, you are out of the loop re" TT Mowcow" It will now be built in Greenland. Don't you watch Fox News,America's network?

Oh this is amusing - really Stiki - on a hooker board?
Do you confess your sins every night?

Wasn't it Obingo-bongo seizing up lands via waterways acts and closing off to drilling and snagging large tracts under National control?
