South Africa/Black Leaders Stealing Land

My wife has an international student from South Africa. He stated his parents farm was being taken from them by the government. He told her his parents were offered a settlement that was a fraction of what the farm was worth. When they refused, the government simply took it.

My wife gives zero fucks about things like this, so it's not something she would make up.

 

Hmm, ya know? That might be a hell of a way to see just how biased the press really is. I wish Trump would actually do it. Of course, the press would just start speculating on "their own fact" that Trump is insane.

 

That sounds awful, but my brother had basically the same thing happen to his first house here in the states. If you live near a money generating factory for the city that wants to expand, you will quickly learn that its the city's land, not yours. HE and his wife had just finished renovating the house and were given a fraction of the assessed value from when they bought the house. Fighting their case only made the offers decline and it was basically a take something or take nothing scenario by the time they and the last few neighbors left - apparently the city can factor in their time/expenses to acquire the (your) property as being a portion of the "just compensation" they have to offer under eminent domain laws.

I get that the reasoning right now is different in SA, but the end result is the same. Push comes to shove, none of us own shit either.

 

I'm sure you would still find a reason to bitch about the speech

 

That is your state, it varies. In Alabama you are due the highest possible assessed value by law. Almost sat on a jury of just such a case. Eminent domain is constitutional but the details are state based. Oh and the Supreme Court ruling that they could take it for more profit was an abomination to sit up near some the worst in our history.

 

Any of us that thinks we own a damn thing should try not paying the property tax bill next time it comes due & see what happens.

Call it ""property tax"" or call it ""rent"" end result is the same.

 

No-ones talking about SA's nukes. I know they dismantled the actual weapons in 1991, but they still maintain possession of the isotopes they removed from the 6 weapons they had.

Almost with a small exception.

Probably. If he stuck his foot down his throat as he usually does I would be harping like nobody's business.
From the past two or three days events when dealing with his businesses CFO getting immunity and also the honcho of whatever rag newspaper it is getting the same, Trump might be looking at some serious difficulties. The wheels on Trump's cart seem to be wobbling pretty badly right now.

 

Is there any other kind of New York lawyer?

 

Orvis just can't turn off CNN and MSNBC.

Orvis, I know you have the time. Listen to a few of the Dan Bongino podcasts. He's ex-secret service and really interesting to listen to.

 

Or Levin who served under Reagan and has argued before the Supreme Court unlike most of the talking heads which have no law degree or at times it appears knowledge of the Constitution. Levin actually has some very interesting talks on Constitutional details in detail vs the flyby media.

 

Sounds like South Africa is getting better now that whitey isn't in control....

There have been some 1,600 murders in this area since the beginning of the year, 900 of them believed to be gang-related. These include 55 unnatural deaths just this past weekend, including 6 young women shot dead, allegedly execution-style, in one house last Friday night in Philippi East. 5 young men shot dead nearby the next day. Dayum, making Chicago sound like a kiddie ride.

 

Epstein moved to Chicago?
