I'm still not voting for that lunatic
With Hillary's rep getting worse and worse: I CAN'T blame ANY person, regardless of "race", NOT wanting her as POTUS.

This is not an eminent domain case.

This isn't land that is being bought or sold. It's federal land. Kinda sad that a guy can't graze his cattle on it but we can dig up ancient burial grounds to run pipelines on it.

it is an eminent domain case, if it wasnt then there would be no uproar. He could just do what he did with Keystone. But this is within the boarders of 5 states all of which have had the Brakken pipeline passed by their utility boards and Environmental agencies.

The only thing left was tribal lands, which are in federal court, and since the lands cant be sold/wont be sold, they simply submitted the plans to the courts under the utilities banner of eminent domain.

At this point im no longer sure if you are just arguing for the sake of disliking the president (which is what I was hoping)

or if you legitimately had no idea of how this process worked. It seems that you are arguing the latter, which means you should do more research before responding to this issue.

Voting for Trump is not a racial issue. No one has anything to lose by voting for him. He is an immensely flawed man with a lot of baggage, but I think he is ultimately trying to do good here. He wants to see the people of this country improve. He wants people to reach for the brass ring - hell, he wants there to simply be a brass ring to reach for.

If this guy gets into office, I think he could easily be the greatest president in a hundred years.

I dont get it. Again, I know you dont like President Obama, but you are arguing something that is factually wrong.

You are letting your dislike of him cloud your better judgement.

No one is going to war over raising the tax rates of billionaire CEO's who presently have 14% federal tax rates. And its Donald Trump who will start the race wars with his outright hatred of South Americans and Muslims.

We don't need more division. We need a problem solver, and someone who can unite us. It would also be nice if they had some accountability. If you think Hilarious Clinton is that kind of person, than I'm afraid I must declare you brain dead, along with the rest of the liberal mouth breathers.

Our debt has been going up under professional golfer Barrack Obama. How can you turn a blind eye to this? He has been the rock star celebrity president, and nothing more. But that's all you guys wanted anyways, so I guess it all worked out in the end.
What did Obama do to raise our national debt as you claim?

Fact is GW Bush had a balanced budget handed to him. Then GW Bush gave the richest 1% of Americans $3 trillion dollars in supply side tax cuts, handed out $1.2 trillion dollars in federal corporate subsidies, and started a very expensive unneeded Iraq war. These actions created huge deficits and then Bush handed those deficits to Obama.

And Obama has cut the deficits that Bush handed him by more than 1/2. And as the libertarian CATO institute says,

Since the 60's the incarceration rate of blacks has shot through the roof.

Chart of the Week: The black-white gap in incarceration rates | Pew Research Center

As the government has grown and become enforcers in more lives, more black people have found themselves in jail. I'd imagine this has a direct impact on earning potential while incarcerated and following release.

It may be in the interest of black people to curb government control.

Bawahahaha.

And you'll never understand this is the result of big government.

It wasn't Bush that had the government set housing and banking policies that caused the economic crash. As a matter of fact, he was one of the few people who tried to do something about that particular issue.

The Democrats own the Iraq debt as well as the Republicans. Try to pretend it's not true, but we all know it is the truth. Big government took us to war.

Big government established a tax code that is so complicated and so rigged, the rich and the poor will always get preferential treatment while the middle class gets hosed.

Yeah, you keep believing it's one party, while you get fleeced by big government.

What did PT Barnum say?
