Regardless of your false outrage its the reality of life that when you are rich and a star you get away with more in life, what ordinary folks cannot get away with, stars will do. When you are a star you can wear your shoe on your head and people will think it's eccentric but as a regular person you you would be seen as insane

When you are rich and famous you can be a paralyzed 70yr old and pull the prettiest girl in your state(Ned Nwoko vs Regina Daniels, Prince Aku vs Dabota Lawson, Oshiomole vs Lara), its the power of money, In the dating scene, women are drawn to money, fame and power just like men are drawn to good looks. What a girl won't allow with regular folks she would with a star, There have been music stars who random women will fight each other just to sleep with for the night
The same way a pretty girl standing at the roadside will get many offers for a ride before a regular looking girl

That was what Trump was talking about, You can call it his personal worldview and many people will agree with him that a rich star will get away with more than a regular person.

The same girl you have been talking to for months and hasn't even given you audience will jump into bed with Justin Beiber in an instant. Even in school ordinary college football and basketball players get smothered by girls because when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. " You can even grab them by the pussy
oga don't try to be clever by half, dating scene is faaaar far different from unsolicited sexual assault

FBI Director Wray taking heat from GOP critics in aftermath of Flynn reveal
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wray-facing-heat-from-gop-critics-in-aftermath-of-flynn-reveal

FBI Director Christopher Wray is facing mounting criticism from Republicans in Washington in the wake of new information coming out of former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn’s criminal case that called into question the bureau’s intentions in their investigation, which took place under previous FBI leadership.

Unsealed documents included handwritten notes from former FBI official Bill Priestap that showed there was debate over whether the goal of their interview of Flynn should be to catch him in a lie. Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Mike Johnson, R-La., questioned why this information was first getting out now and had not been divulged by Wray earlier.

Inside FBI director Chris Wray's fate
https://www.axios.com/fbi-michael-flynn-chris-wray-trump-00c13ada-569b-4f5e-bfa3-354b794ea9e0.html

President Trump is not happy with FBI director Christopher Wray and would love to replace him, according to three sources who've discussed the matter with the president.

But Trump has been deferring to Attorney General Bill Barr and is unlikely to remove Wray before the election, these sources said.

Behind the scenes: Trump's dissatisfaction with Wray — whom he nominated for the post in 2017 after firing Jim Comey — is nothing new. A source who has discussed the FBI director repeatedly with the president said Trump "has never felt like Wray was his guy" and does not trust him to "change the culture" of the FBI.

Between the lines: Trump hasn't ousted Wray for two main reasons, according to senior administration officials and outside advisers who've discussed Wray's future with Trump.

First, some of Trump's key advisers don't want to kick the hornet's nest so close to an election by firing a second FBI director.
And, second, there isn't an obvious replacement who'd both pass muster on Capitol Hill and be the sort of loyalist Trump wants to run the FBI.
Some people tout the record appointment of judges as one of his great achievements. Going by his ill-judgement in appointment to other appointments however, I can only delight in his "achievements".

Obama beat trump in almost every metric of measurement, be it education, personal achievements, marital life, achievements as president, etc.

What did blacks benefited from Obama presidency?
Most African Americans and Blacks I have met online and chatted with are yet to give me any straight forward answer when ever I ask them this question
“What did blacks benefit from Obama presidency"?

Obama came to power with message of hope and dream but we later found out this was more of a rehearse feel good speech with no reality or substance.

During his presidency gun violence in black communties continue, the poverty index in black communities never improve instead the rich guys in Wall street, Well fargos, Goldman sach and Jp morgans got richer and wealthier.

The only thing he could give back to his black communties was gay right, Abortion right and all sort of non essential policies, till date Blacks still thinks the whites and Republicans are the cause of their poverty but then I ask again “What did Blacks benefited from Obama presidency"?
nothing much to be honest, Obama was a figurehead black president who gave prestige to the African American community, he did that much right at least but he was never a black man's president, he wasn't even pro African in is foreign policy but he was far and large a more decent and respectable president than tRump will ever be

Maybe the latest Unemployment rate at 15.5% can be added to Trump's other achievements

3.2 million more people file for unemployment, bringing coronavirus crisis total to over 33 million

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/05/07/jobless-claims-hit-3-169-million/

An additional 3.2 million Americans filed for unemployment insurance last week as the fallout from the coronavirus crisis continues, the Department of Labor said Thursday.

This brings the total number of people who have lost their jobs and filed unemployment claims since the pandemic began to at least 33 million.

Moreover, the seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate for the week ending April 25 was a staggering 15.5%, the government said.

You got coronavirus to the brain or how did you not see national nurses day Trump had in the white house yesterday?

Trump does x10 of that each day and Obama can never hold a candle to his achievements in 100 lifetimes! It's an insult to Trump comparing the two.

Obama has gone golfing during the lockdown while Trump hasn't taken a single day off in about 6 months.

Every president after their tenure move out of Washington back to where they came from and focus on other things but Obama can't because his crimes are hunting him.

Trump was born a leader, Obama was an accidental leader whose crimes are coming out each day and will soon be a flood you can't deny.

Obama thinks he's still president because he never worked for anything in his life, his CIA parents paid it forward.
feedthenation:


At least before Obama goes to your 'imaginary prison', he busy acknowledging teachers on National Teachers Day and bringing smiles to their faces during this health emergency time. Can Trump be as proactive as Obama?

well, I am calling for a thorough investigation, does that count? And yes , the FBI investigation of kavanaugh was a total sham and was just for appearances, so what do you say? A thorough investigation of biden, kavanaugh and tRump? Are you in or out? I'm in
So the FBI investigation was a sham because it didn't give you the results you wanted? You wanted Kavanaugh to be guilty but the investigation found otherwise therefore it must be a sham. What do I say? I say you can believe whatever you want to believe, the world will not stop because you refuse to believe the reality of things. As for your other question, of course I am in, I have always been for granting everyone the presumption of innocence until a thorough investigation is done and evidence of guilt is presented before the courts. It is you libs that want us to believe the accuser even before any investigation is done. You did it to Kavanaugh, you did it to Trump and now that it's your candidate that is being accused, the liberal hypocrisy has not only become obvious, it's stinking to the high heavens

Your small mind need to get a grip on reality!

What you are witnessing is a desperate scream from the deepstate as the walls close in on them.

Trump retweets from both enemies and loyalists all the time, especially now that they are using Ab Lincoln's name to perpetrate their evil. Trump handles life threatening issues daily, including assasination attempts, this is nothing to him.

The ESTABLISHMENT, RINO & NEOCON in deepstate did worse than this in 2016 and we expect them to step up because the alternative is deaths for them. You don't expect the Bushes, McCains, Romneys, Flakes and other like them to crawl and hide when they have to fight for their lives. This is life and death situation for them and your overlords know it!

‘We found his weak spot’: Rick Wilson reveals why Lincoln Project ad caused Trump to ‘lose his damn mind’

[b]One of the longtime Republican strategists behind the devastating new Lincoln Project [/b]ads targeting Donald Trump said that the conservative organization has found the president’s “weak spot” during a Tuesday evening interview on MSNBC.

Wilson is the author of the hit 2018 book Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever. Trump has labeled him “crazed Rick Wilson.” MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell played the new ad, which has caused Trump to lash out at the Lincoln Project.

Oh nice!

But double check, the deepstate is getting desperate and creating fake pages to circulate fake videos that look like the real ones QAnons have just to discredit them when they are released. Q has said that the videos on dark web are fake videos put there by the deepstate. They call them the "deepfakes" but thank God for the technology that helps confirm the real from fakes, though we can actually tell them apart if we pay close attention.

The deepstate military that has been mostly crushed by Trump is now saying its going to use DARPA that was used in fighting Talibans, for campaign against Trump and pay raw cash to social media with large followings to help turn their fans against Trump. Nairaland might get its share.

Transcripts of the Russia collusion are coming out by next week and the deepstate can't stop it by bombing and shooting up people and places, most are still closed except maybe Walmart, target and few other places.

This is not about a 4 year election, it about either keeping America free the way of conservatives or allowing it to go democrats socialist/communist country.

What we just experienced is a socialist experiment by the deepstate on how far they can surpress and trample on people's rights before a pushback.

All because of power the deepstate is using unfounded fear to hold the world captive and destroy economy all around the world.

I saw an analogy that linked Trump and the JFK's with assange as well. It was a long one and had a lot of "17" pointers. I hope i can find it again and share. It feels good to be able to step away from the craziness of the world and just view things for what they truly are.

DOJ drops case against Michael Flynn, in wake of internal memo release

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/drops-doj-case-against-michael-flynn-in-wake-of-internal-memo-release

The Justice Department on Thursday moved to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, in a stunning development that comes after internal memos were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s late 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI.

The announcement came in a court filing "after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information," as the department put it. DOJ officials said they concluded that Flynn's interview by the FBI was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn" and that the interview was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."

"A review of the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information, indicates that Mr. Flynn’s statements were never 'material' to any FBI investigation," read the motion to dismiss the two-and-a-half year old criminal prosecution.

The move to dismiss the case was approved by Barr at the urging of a longtime federal prosecutor he assigned in January to conduct a review of the matter, Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. Attorney in St. Louis.

"Through the course of my review of Gen. Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case," Jensen said in a statement. "I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed."
