I guess that makes it no different than Trump's limousine parking lot, then. You showed me!
-----------
The end result is the same - the eminent domain take over of private property - Keystone on a multi state scale so dwarfs a parking lot. So fail if you are against eminent domain but love the keystone pipeline. Cognitive dissonance on your part.
Bad when Trump does it, but completely ok when the government does it. No expert on the subject, but if/when Trump did it, he built something on the property and gave people jobs, unlike what the current lot of scumbags does.
Kind of like the ongoing land grab’s all over the country. Kind of like what’s going on in Oregon and all the uranium that Obama and Clinton sold to the Russians.
Lets forget about all the other stuff that these career politicians, the so called elite and their corporate donors have been doing to us since FDR.

The pipeline is exporting fuel to China from Canada. How is that good for the USA?
Youâre being completely dishonest. It was not a âcrackâ house at the time. It was the home of an old woman who wanted to live in peace in her own house.
------
It was a boarding house - code name for hooker den in Atlantic City. I guess once step up from a crack house.
Yes, the old BS that it was ganny’s house. It was a hooker/crack den aka boarding house to make it sound respectable.
“You bought the left wing propaganda, the home was actually a 18 room boarding home”
I searched the internet and found that it was a 29 room property. Please post a link to it being “crime infested”(Your post #96). Thanks.
Actually the home was demolished in 2014, Carl Icahn, yes that guy, bought at auction for 500K, he promptly leveled the 18 room boarding house.
The home was not some "old granny's" two bedroom beach bungalow, it was a crime infested 18 room boarding house. (private property is still private property, I am just pointing out what it actual was. Seems too many people distort the facts to fit a narrative(Trumpinator, this was not against you, just the people who distort that this was some old lady's home, it wasn't))
Impressive! Your post full emotional hyperbole is that of an overachiever.
I tend to agree with you about Kelo and was appalled by the decision.
Otoh, I do see Trump's point, too, and one could easily see his offer as a Godsend for her, her family and for the area.
She won her fight and she and her son lost out on a much larger payday.
Who knows how things would have turned out had she taken Trump's initial offer instead of what GuvCo gave them.
None the less, no election is worth doing damage to yourself.
From one soul to another? Letting your emotions condemn you via false witness and the rest is just poor long-term planning.
Time is way too short for that sort of thing.
I figure we're supposed to say something, so I said something...for what it's worth.

Take a good look at the picture of Vera Coking’s house here—after Bob Guccione built a parking garage on three sides of it.
I was going by memory, the place wasn’t exactly a perfect crime free place, so to a person like me, who lives in a nice area, it was a crime infested. But to urbanites who live in bad neighborhoods, it probably wasn’t so bad
It is all perspective
And Atlantic City is a crime den like Camden, Newark, or Detroit
You can't have it both ways. Even the spin that the keystone pipeline is some sort of self defense initiative is them trying to justify their cognitive dissonance.
The people take Kelo and apply their own fears of the big govt and actually distort reality. I am against all forms of govt power but reality is one thing and pie in the sky reality is another. And yes there are abuses - even to the best of laws.
Why do you believe during a national emergency the oil/fuel would have to be exported?
By allowing the export of oil/refined products it keeps the oil industry working in this country or Canada.
You simply cannot shut down oil production then in a national emergency bring it back on line in a matter of a few days or weeks or even months.
Spend a buck and buy a clue.
If our oil imports from overseas are cut off for some reason we can use that oil from Canada for our own domestic use we don’t have to export it.
The Support of TBD and Corker Iran give the character of the man, SoCon.
However, I can honestly say that a terrorist invasion happening NOW is far more important than some small print disagreements over the constitutional interpretation of eminent domain.
I’ll deal with that later. I’m worried about terrorists attacking masses of people at sports or entertainment venues right now.
It is you who has to reconcile the hypocritical support for eminent domain taking people’s property for a pipeline. Based on some imagined what if scenario - we can take people’s property in case Mars invades.

PS: Then build it just over the border with Canada. Saves the need for a pipeline. But you can't export to China from the Dakota's.
Oh, believe me, Trump’s support for the Kelo decision is the number one reason why I support Cruz over Trump.
Cruz’s support for Gay Marriage is the reason I’ll never vote for him
He seems to be wanting American greatness at some level.
The thing that is bugging me more and more is that Donald doesn’t always know when to stop, on a number of other things. There IS such a thing as political capital, and there IS such a thing as wasting it. Tweeting little nasty notes is not a good follow on to his otherwise humble second place concession to the Iowa caucus. A problem with tweeting is that the tone of voice does not come through. A stress, a change in pitch or timing, that might convey intentional hyperbole or part-kidding, is just not there, and he makes enemies he never needed to make.
I am praying in general for a blessing to obtain in the race. Trump could be the carrier in the end. But we need improvement from where we are, or we don’t have anything viable yet.
That is not a parking garage, that is an unfinished casino
Trump bought that casino and ripped it down in 93ish
