November 4, 2015: RAW video of GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump arriving In Concord NH, where he spoke to the media and met with supporters before officially filing for President at the State House. He threw some jabs at his opponents, especially Carson and Rubio. Note: Mr. Trump begins speaking about 5:00 into this video.

Only you felt misled. I personally am not in agreement with Trump about ED but its a miniscule position compared to the mega issues of the day. Its a nothing burger because if you are pizzed about it call the Supreme Court not DJ TRump. They upheld the issue. DJ Trump had absolutely nothing to do with it.
In fact I would applaud your passion if you were out in front of the Supreme Court building marching for justice. Or contacting your senators to ask them why they have not yet overturned the SCOTUS ruling.
So really get a valid argument. :-)
A effing men
Trump with all his flaws is far superior leader to Carson
Carson is a nice BLACK Doctor
That’s it
It’s Trump or Cruz
After that I don’t much care
Amen again!
Take the money and move, get over it.
Trump has admitted to using gubmint when it benefits him, particularly the bankruptcy laws and buying politicians. His whole selling point is that he can use his negotiating skills to exploit anything. And he whines about big bad Meghan Kelly.
Who in their right mind would think Carson would be good enough or tough enough for the nomination.
It boggles the mind how deluded some people are,.
What's actually misleading is that everybody bashing Trump for eminent domain for "private" use supports the Keystone Pipeline.
How about electing someone who is qualified and not based on being a nice person , but someone who can and has done a decent job, understands the private sector and international trade etc.
Public use has always been interpreted to include major infrastructure projects—like the pipeline, for example, or earlier, like the transcontinental railroads—even when that infrastructure was privately-owned. What changed in Kelo (and what Trump has supported) was that it can now be used for real estate developments and other private, non-infrastructure projects, as long as those projects are designed to increase tax revenue.

A lot of eminent domain will be needed to build that wall. Deal with it.
I break the anti-Trump groups down two into two categories:
1. Those that are jealous because he’s very, very wealthy. Instead of saying “Hey, he did it, that can inspire me to do something too.”, they’ll kvetch and turn green because he’s got more wealth than they can imagine.
2. Alpha widows/cat ladies. They can’t cope with the fact that the man’s had trophy wife after trophy wife after trophy wife. He’s an Alpha, he can (and does) do that.
So jealousy, whether over his wealth or his Alphaness, is what drives the drivel. What else can it be? For all of the clamoring about “We need a kiss ass ass kicker in there!”, well, here’s one on a silver platter, but he’s still not good enough? Please. The envy shines through.
And the only reason Carson gets any attention is because he’s black, period. I’ve watch him and listened to him and he comes across as not even close to POTUS material at best and borderline ignorant at the worst. And spare me the “Oh, he’s a doctor.” crap; there are >>MANY<< stupid doctors out there.
First, a border wall is a public use. No problem with using eminent domain for that. It’s Trump’s support for using it to transfer property into the hands of private developers that is the problem.
Second, if you believe that Donald Trump—the guy who called Mitt f’ing Romney’s immigration plan “too harsh”—will actually build the wall he’s talking about, well, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. He’s a huckster, who says things that people want to hear.
Actually, I wouldn’t mind a privatized wall. Like the private prison industry.
He will build the wall. It is what he does.
You need to oust some of the hate that emits from you.
You decided to find one thing and just keep pushing it. It is a good thing that people don’t pay much attention to your ranting.
I don’t “hate” Trump. I find him to be an entertaining, charismatic celebrity. But I strongly oppose and distrust him politically, based on 30+ years of watching him and seeing how he operates.
It was the precedent of railroads in the first place that allowed the Kelo decision to be passed. It is defined as the taking of property to transfer to private use that is of public interest:
"In addition to exercising the eminent domain power itself, Congress may delegate it to 'private corporations to be exercised by them in the execution of works in which the public is interested,' such as railroad and utility companies." (Savage, David G., and Joan Biskupic. The Supreme Court and the Powers of the American Government. Washington, D.C.: CQ, 2009. 188.)>
Once that door is opened, there is no reason to stop a city from condemning a blighted area in order to develop it for the public good.
If anything, our current system is much better, since about a hundred years ago the Courts had granted the states the authority to condemn anything, for whatever reason, even without due compensation:
“… the Court had allowed regulations to close down an urban brickyard (1915), to destroy a diseased cedar grove to protect a nearby apple orchard (1928), and to effectively shut down a gravel quarry in a developing suburb (1962)—all without compensation to the owners.â€

Public use has always been interpreted to include major infrastructure projects—like the pipeline,
That's not true. Like railroads, pipelines have a public utility that must be approved. This determination is not automatic. There is no inherent quality of pipelines that makes them public utilities. They must demonstrate that they will have a benefit for the public:
"Pipeline operators can obtain rights-of-way by entering into leases or voluntary agreements with landowners, or by taking properties through eminent domain proceedings. Interstate pipelines are governed by the Natural Gas Act, which gives the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission the power to issue a certificate of public convenience to operators, who may then condemn property through eminent domain.
This power applies to transmission lines only, not gathering lines. Some, but not all, intrastate pipelines are regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Some pipeline operators have tried to obtain public utility status with the PUC in order to condemn property to install gathering lines.
A recent decision may signal the end of this trend, as opposition continues to mount against attempts by pipeline operators to style themselves as public utilities to take advantage of special legal rights and powers. Recently, a panel of administrative judges, in Petition of Sunoco Pipeline, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Docket No. P-2014- 2411966 (July 23, 2014), recommended that the PUC deny a petition by Sunoco Pipeline L.P. for public utility status, dealing a setback to the industry giant in its attempt to construct its Mariner East pipeline."

What changed in Kelo (and what Trump has supported) was that it can now be used for real estate developments and other private, non-infrastructure projects
What changed in Kelo was they simply followed the precedent of other court cases, such as Berman v. Parker (1954), which approved the taking of land, such as "blighted" areas, for redevelopment by any private entity whatsoever:
"Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26 (1954) is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that interpreted the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation" in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The court voted 8-0,[1] holding private property could be taken for a public purpose with just compensation. This case laid the foundation for the Court's later important public use cases, Hawaii Housing Authority v. Midkiff, 467 U.S. 229 (1984) and Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005). Critics of recent occurrences of eminent domain uses trace what they view as property rights violations to this case."
... "The key issue addressed was the ability and scope of the government to take and transfer private property to private developers as part of a project to clear blight from an entire area."

If you support the Keystone Pipeline, then you support almost a hundred years of Supreme Court precedent that enables the transferring of private property into other private hands.
Jackie Mason: Ben Carson ‘looks like he’s falling asleep’

Comedian and longtime conservative Jackie Mason sounded off on the Republican presidential field in a radio interview Sunday, jesting Ben Carson looks like he is falling asleep and brilliant Carly Fiorina may just be too cerebral.
On Carson, Mason quipped: Every time you see him, he looks like he either fell asleep or he is trying to fall asleep. Everybody else is looking for a job. He looks like he is looking for a place to lie down for an hour.

Thanks Jenny
“based on 30+ years of watching him and seeing how he operates.”
That sounds like something that is really not normal. It explains your constant Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Do you have a long time personal vendetta against Trump?
