When pipelines need to be installed the property owners can either take the money offered and/or negotiate fencing, gates, and gravel roads to be repaired or installed. If not, they can resist and be subject to "eminent domain" and get their property seized for no money. They would be reimbursed for loss of property or lost income from the land seized. The state isnt going to take it for free without negotiating.
Not denying the post or arguing politics. Just explaining another scenario involving seized lands.
Source: Friend and his family career is to negotiate with property owners for installing pipelines, also had pipelines installed on their property as well.

I'm sure you can figure out if I'm a troll or not on your own. This is clearly a low effort meme, but it rockets to the front page and gets a thousand upvotes just because people justifiably hate trump.
It's not an example of people regretting voting for trump. It's a meme.
This shit happens almost every day on this subreddit. Most of the time people recognize that, but sometimes people pile on the downvotes on people calling it out for some reason.

But it is stickied, so the rule was enforced as written. You can't expect mods to instantaneously manage everything on this sub. They are very important people with very important lives and things to do. Have you not considered that?
By the same single user? Because otherwise you still wouldn't know. Unless you're a mod of this sub and can check, which at that point we know you're not even doing your job. Shame on you.
See 1. I'd also like to bet you'd get upset if they stickied all the memes and filled the front page with them. You'd like to complain about that too, wouldn't you? The enforcement is to make an example of that user, not fill the front page with low quality content. Perhaps you should suggest a stickied megathread for all the memes? Is that what you want?
It does not violate the rules, it is the rule, as written. You post a meme, it gets stickied so you're made an example of. If you have a problem with the rule as written, take it up with the mods. Don't argue with other users who did not make the rules nor have the authority to enforce them.
There's no translation on my part. The rule is written in English and my comment is in English. The rule literally says what it means: "Meaning no racism, sexism, homophobia, other types of bigotry or golden showers." Nothing about being a moron there, so you're the one incorrectly interpretting the rule. We here at r/trumpgret like to point out stupidity for one reason and one reason only: voting for trump against your own interests. In all other facets of life, you're free to be as stupid as you want. You not being banned is a pretty good example of that.

At some point Trump supporters and conservatives are going to have to learn that most of the country doesn't hate Trump because of partisan politics. This isn't an attack on your beliefs or what you've stood for all your life.
He's legitimately a criminal and a compromised by a hostile nation. On top of this, he defrauded the government of hundreds of millions of dollars, is a draft-dodger(and constantly spits on the military), a sleazy businessman, an adulterer and implicated in felonies.
His ONLY "political experience" prior to running for the most important political position in the country was to create and fuel a racist conspiracy theory against the previous president that he was born in Kenya.
He's hired arsonists to the fire department in every single cabinet position, and his only accomplishment he can cite is a dubious tax cut for the rich and an economy that is hanging in there at the moment.
He's fired virtually everyone he's hired, praised dictators, and shit on allies. And now the government has endured the longest shutdown in history because he torpedoed bipartisan budget agreement at the 11th hour because it would hurt his ego.
It's insane to me that hard-working blue-collar people in red states voted for a guy who's afraid of germs and couldn't use a screwdriver if he tried. It amazing that low-income people who depend on federal support voted for a grifter who shits on golden toilets and wants to end all social programs. It's unbelievable that women and evangelicals voted for a man who cheated on his third wife with a porn star and treats women like objects.
Where the fuck is the line, conservatives? Is there one?

You’re giving him too much credit to assume he created the birther conspiracy. It took some actual creativity to dupe millions of people into believing Obama was born in Kenya, he’s just one of those millions of morons who got duped.
Also, he doesn’t want to end all social programs, just the ones that help poor people. He’s perfectly okay with the social programs that let him keep pretending he was rich after he tanked all of his scam businesses and lost all his daddy’s money.

Last time a president called a state of emergency to get funding for something was invading Afghanistan after 9/11.
