Nobody bulldozed her house.

In 1994 a New Jersey state agency known as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) tried to seize the home of an elderly widow named Vera Coking, who lived just off of Atlantic City's famous beachfront boardwalk. In place of Coking's modest residence, state officials envisioned a new limousine parking lot for the neighboring Trump Plaza, the high-rise hotel and casino owned and operated by real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
Thankfully, this preposterous attempt to wield eminent domain on Trump's behalf was struck down in court. "What has occurred here is analogous to giving Trump a blank check with respect to future development on the property for casino hotel purposes," declared the Superior Court of New Jersey in a sharp ruling against the CRDA. Coking remained in her home.
Flash forward two decades, and the CRDA is back to its old dirty tricks. Today the Superior Court of New Jersey is hearing arguments in the case of Casino Reinvestment Development Authority v. Birnbaum. Once again, the state agency is trying to use eminent domain on behalf of a politically connected Atlantic City casino.

“..But building a casino is not a government project. “
Bingo!
Am I the only one getting sick of these repetitive Threads?
No offense, but have you been off this Site for the past week?
For anyone that’s interested, look up my History and the Comments I made regarding this idiotic TDS inspired crap over the past few days. I’m sick of wasting Keystrokes.
WTH is wrong with you people? Does anyone think going on and on about this same issue is changing minds? We live in a Bubble here, and the air is getting pretty stale.
TAGLINE. LIVE IT, LOVE IT...
It was OBVIOUSLY worth $5 Million to him at the time.
You know nothing of the Business Model and Budget in developing that Property and neither do I.
My Father had a saying, “things are only worth what people will pay for them”.
I’m a Cruz guy and the more of this crap I read makes me wonder if some people here have lost track of who the real enemy is, and it isn’t ANY of the Republican Nominees.
I don’t care for many of them, but I would never give the DemoncRat my Vote, NEVER.
The republicans ALL stand head and shoulders above ANY of the DemoncRats running for their Party’s Nomination.
You know, THE ENEMY!
Looks like some people here need a Booster Shot.
Eminent domain for any reason besides manifest public necessity for a public works project is indefensible from a conservative POV. Water treatment plant needs to be build? Ok. New Expressway? Ok. Privatively owned casino or shopping mall? NO. That’s the government transferring property at gun point to someone who probably greased a lot of palms to make it happen. Revolting.
It’s disgusting to see people try to defend it. You can try to dismiss it as not all that important in the grand scheme and not enough for you to not support Trump, that’s fine. But it’s wrong, period.
Yes I missed the posted thread as I stated early on IN the thread and, no, bashing Trump is as fun as bashing his evil twin obama. One is a capitalist, one is a communist. Neither are constitutionalists or give a rats behind about anything else but themselves and spending other people’s money.
Enjoy!
Nope, not a trump supporter as of 2 days ago after doing a lot of historical research. I was married to a pathological liar for 4 years and I will not be responsible for having others go through the same thing.
Trump is more like a southern belle with his compliments of people while he is sneaking up behind them with a knife his hand.
Lots of editing done in 2014 + 2015. I wonder why and who?

You’ve never seen the movie UP?
I heard when Trump calls they kiss his a$$. Debate. He’s so funny and luvable. Just like Obama to his old minions.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but “Hear, Hear!” You are correct and I nominate you for the head of the federal highway administration. Watching trumps documentary he’ll hire the head of one of mexico’s drug cartels to keep things running smoothly.
One of my favorite youTube videos:

He colluded to bulldoze a widow’s home...
does it say he did bulldoze her home? NO, that came as a result of our brain always connecting the dots.
Narrator: “Like when Trump colluded with Atlantic City insiders to bulldoze the home of an elderly widow for a limousine parking lot at his casino.”
To collude: to act together secretly or illegally in order to deceive or cheat someone
doesn’t mean it worked out for him. In fact he tried again in Scotland.

I accept your nomination. ;)
Thanks for the link, I’ll watch that later.
