I see you don’t care that the farmers don’t get paid for their land being confiscated in this boondoggle. That’s not very compassionate socialism is it?
It is why we have a 2nd amendment.
And I like Bill Maher, even though I do not always agree with him. Bottom-line, he does not prescribe with the shallow "group-think" that has engulfed BOTH political parties and he rankles the progressive-fascist wing of the Democrats.
Eminent Domain has been utilized to screw our neighbors for decades/centuries in the name of "good for business". NOW we're concerned? Ok.
I don't like it one bit, no matter who's ox is being gored.
Agreed.
Here is one of the worst examples of brutal government overreach, and now that plant is being closed. Sad:

Also, on the lighter side, here are some highlights from a memorable "Bugs Bunny" cartoon from 1954 dealing with the subject:

I remember Poletown like it was yesterday. I always thought Young was tired of hearing about and seeing a thriving neighborhood in his city when he was making excuses and picked that area out of spite. That guy was evil genius.
My dad and I helped a few families, coworkers of his move out of that neighborhood after the lawsuit went against them.

Maher and Hannity have plenty of overlap with how the doggedly support the side or their choice.
However, if both were told to never talk politics again, Maher would still make it as a professional comedian, he sells out large venues and does Vegas shows quite often, while Hannity would be a bellhop in Trump resorts and I think would eventually end up being on a sex offender list.
Or Maher could go back to dealing weed .
Why would he do that when he's extremely rich from being a successful comedian?
Oh, and the 80's called, they want their put down's back.

We agree eminent domain is not preferred.
But that’s not the point.
The point is the party of compassion, the party of equity in pay and the party that sees diversity as the first commandment is neither being compassionate, equitable nor paying those owed that w/o their private property the first shovel could not of even been put in the ground. Do you think all those connected to these politicians, “their own” didn’t get paid first?
When exposed this is how progressive liberalism works.

You're still hilarious and laughable. That much hasn't changed.
You take an isolated case, leap to your own self serving conclusion that they did "awful things" when getting the land for their rail, and then use that for a blanket statement as "that is how progressive liberalism works".
I think they followed the pattern established and perfected by the right myself.

"Progressive Liberalism" = "Progressive Fascism"
The Left is no better than the Right. Intolerant of dissenting opinion/views and indifferent about using the tools of government to force (i.e. "ram & jam") its opinion/views on those it is unable to persuade. Both believe they have a moral "high ground." Neither do.

RE: Bill Maher points to Colleges Social Justice overreach. Time to pay.
It's a red herring. The dispute over the land has two sides, and the private land owners are disputing the valuation, the mitigation work they had to do to repair the damage done by the construction crews, etc. All of this is stuck in the legal system, and is a shame nonetheless.
You own property, the government wants it, they should pay MORE than the going rate taking into account that the owner was most likely an unwilling seller of the property.
Eminent Domain battles never go well for a reason. They're intrusive, never executed openly and honestly in the examples that I've seen and been involved with at the city level, and they're just wrong. Definitely not a "right or left" thing, it's a corruption thing.
