Okay ... everybody got that?! And, in another jaw-dropping analogy by the moronic buffoons at The New York Times - Water isn't wet. It's just that if you are drenched in water you will be soggy and dripping.
NYT: There's No Confiscation of Land in South Africa, Just a Measure to Take It Without Compensation

As we've reported, the media quickly reacted to President Donald Trump's "ambush" of South Africa's president, calling his claims of white genocide "unfounded," "false," "unsubstantiated," and "misleading," among others.
A New York Times reporter says that something that caught Trump's eye was the confiscation of farmland from white farmers in South Africa. He clarified by saying that there is no confiscation of land, only a measure passed that would allow the government to take land without providing any compensation for it.

Robert Sterling (@RobertMSterling) ~ “There is no confiscation of land.” There’s just “a measure that would allow the government to take land without providing compensation.”
Brilliant reporting from the New York Times. Thanks, guys!

Oh, at least it's NOT "confiscation," then.
Dodged a bullet, there, don'tcha know!


This editor wonders how well South Africa is going to fare when all of the white farmers have either fled to the United States or been murdered. Someone needs to grow the food.
Yeah, when the Communists of the South African government take over all of the farms ... well ... Communists have such a fabulous track record of making sure grocery store shelves are well-stocked, right?!
Mark (@SaltWater651) ~ The amount of stupidity coming out of that mouth is simply staggering.
Glen Bolger (@posglen) ~ And The NY Times reporter is nodding his head like a trained seal.
Yves Meyer (@YvesMey67539300) ~ What I like is the approbative head nodding when hearing this contradictory absurdity.

mrmatty404 (@mrmatty404) ~ I'm a South African, and regardless of whatever flimsy dressing they put on expropriation, it's given one of the most corrupt governments on earth the power to decide what's "in the public interest." Like our other laws meant to redress past injustice, it will be used to steal shit.
That's what Communists do - they steal, imprison, and murder.
