Trump's Potato Gaffe

[Carling]

Based on what evidence?  I have evidence:  Trump has expressed complete support for the use of eminent domain to take property from one private owner and give it to another private owner.  What evidence do you have?

Bernie Sanders is a Socialist and HRC is the most corrupt presidential candidate in history.

The things you GOProgs can imagine!

That doesn't even remotely begin to answer the question I asked.  What is your major malfunction?

What is your proof that Trump will use the EPA and BLM to steal land from people? 

I'll bet you $1000 he will reduce the power of both federal agencies along with wiping out Obama's EPA EOs, which he said he'll do on Day One of being in office.

During Thursday's debate, Trump reiterated his claim that he would eliminate the Education Department and "the Department of Environment Protection," his term for the EPA.

Don't set up a strawman, it's a real waste of time watching you try to knock them down.

You have absolutely no reason to believe that other than your own wishful thinking.  I have evidence - hard, cold evidence - that supports the proposition that Trump may let those agencies be as cavalier with private property rights as he has been in his business.  And isn't that one of the Trumpkin's selling points for Trump:  that he'll bring his business experience to the White House and apply it to the government.  I don't need 100% proof - which, by the way you do not have either - all I need is something objective that supports my view.

Wow.  That's evidence.  Not.  It's about as compelling as the thief who gets up on the stand at his trial and swears that he didn't do it.

And him saying he'll shutter the EPA supports my view, along with getting rid of business-restrictive environmental regulations.

Look, I get it. You set up the EPA/BLM strawman, I disagreed, and now you're fuming because it's another bad night for the GOParty of Yesterday.  It wasn't my strawman, so don't blame me for it.

You go ahead with your GOProg delusions, though.  I'll be celebrating Rubio/Kasich getting absolutely hammered tonight.

I've already resigned myself to Trump winning - go read my article - so your TDS nonsense doesn't play.

So, focus on the question:  what evidence do you have?  You have zippo, nada, nil, zilch.  You have the sayso of Trump alone.  And his sayso is only so good as the objective evidence that supports or belies his sayso.  I have that evidence - his support for Kelo and his repeated use of eminent domain - and the evidence weighs in my favor, not yours.

Finally, you don't even know what a strawman argument is, do you.

Really, so you saying that Trump will use the BLM and EPA to take people's property isn't a strawman?  Nobody was even making posts even touching on that delusion until you brought it up and started arguing for it and demanding answers.

I started your article and read a paragraph but it was a rambling opinion piece that really wasn't worth my time, since you asked.

Get a clue, AbaraXas. You have far more to fear from the BLM, Fish & Wildlife, and the EPA when it comes to expropriation of private land.

"A Texas farmer finally received land back that was taken from him by a court and given to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) more than thirty years ago. The victory puts land back into his undisputed possession and control that has been in his family since 1904. It also brings hope and a pathway to victory for other farmers who stand to lose up to 90,000 acres of land to the BLM.

Tommy Henderson met with BLM officials on the steps of the Clay County Courthouse in Henrietta, Texas, where he was presented a patent from the U.S. government bestowing rights to ownership and use of the property, according to an article by Lynn Walker in the Wichita Falls Times Record News. Henderson told the Times Record he hopes this will pave the way for dozens of other Red River land owners in Texas who are battling to keep their land from being taken by the BLM.

In a federal court decision in 1984, a judge stripped Henderson of ownership of a portion of his land located along the Red River in Texas. The Red River is Texas’ northern border with Oklahoma. Some of that land was given to the BLM and a small section was awarded to an Oklahoma man who brought the lawsuit. The Oklahoma rancher was attempting to claim land because of boundary changes due to erosion and evulsion.

Breitbart Texas brought national attention to the issue last April when the BLM was holding planning meetings on what to do with the land along the river they claimed belonged to the BLM. Texas’ leadership including then Attorney General Greg Abbott, then Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, then General Land Office Commissioner Jerry Patterson, and State Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) joined with Texas’ U.S. Senators, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) to try to get the BLM to release the land back to the Texans who had believed they owned the land, in some cases for many generations. Then Governor Rick Perry weighed in on the issue in May when he said the “the federal government already owns too much land.”
