rakish: When a government is committed in silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures ,until it has become a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. Harry Truman -33rd president of the United States. This is Trumps America.
You are creating a false narrative.
Below is what silencing the voice of opposing views looks like. A generation when a small statured Jewish American requires heavy police protection to be able to exercise his right to free speech. That is the America we all wake up to presently.
Abbeybailey: Your idiocy is inherited from your forebears. Where's the Obama care repeal ?. Failed. Where's the Border wall with Mexico, Failed. Tax Repeal, another failure in the making. Trump care, another failed one but a clueless village skunk who doesn't know how things work in America is wetting his underwear over meaningless and usrlesd passage of honoring Bob Dole as a Senator. FYI, as a tax paying American, I and other millions of Americans don't care about that garbage. We want meaningful bills passed not some junky stuff. By the way liar, which school you attended in US ?. Human garbage that gets his relevance on nairaland.
Keep shifting the goal post with your rambling and gibbering. Hold on a sec, I need to archive this. You sound more like a jobless antifa terrorist adult baby whiner than an American tax payer. Who would give a paranoid low-lifer like you a meaningful job? Probably the reason why you hate yourself and resorted to venting your spleen on America. By the way, what does one's alma matar has to do with innate intelligence and good logic? You just can't stop proving you're a dolt.
Abbeybailey: Brainstem, your moniker shows you are not even worth having a meaningful discussion with. What a senseless pervert.
What a childish way to back out of a lost argument. You lost because you lack the intellectual capacity to make a coherent and logical argument; I had you shamelessly clutching at straws. You should get some safe space and boo yourself for disgracing yourself.
Abbeybailey: Tell us just two bills passed by Congress and signed into law by trump ?
Abbeybailey: That is a big lie... He hasn't signed a single bill passed by Congress. The only thing racist pig named tramp has done is executive order.
Abbeybailey: He doesn't even know Congress hasn't passed any bill for trump to sign into law and he's here spreading that pepper soup joint junk.
Abbeybailey: I told you to name one and you can't. There's a difference between signing bills into law and executive orders. Both Senate and House passes a bill and the president signs it to become law. That's difference from Executive order.
Abbeybailey: Dummy, is it passed and does that equate 50 garbage you are dishing out.
Abbeybailey: Dimwit, the garbage you posted looked like fifty to you.
Abbeybailey: Brainfart, keep swallowing your own junk. Bunch of Executive orders.
Abbeybailey: We are talking about significant bill passed, this cretin is putting out bills that are insignificant to Americans.
Abbeybailey: Dimwit, ho Fvck yourself with your 9 inches garbage. A fool parodying junk passed as a bill. Go choke on your own puke Mr brainstem.
From zero bill, to not up to 50 bills, to how significant are the bills, to epithets and ad-hominems, to where is obamacare/wall/tax repeal...
Abbeybailey: Stop lying because thorough bred American here will call you out.
It appears "thorough bred" is the new dumb, Mr M0ron.
Abbeybailey: Village rat. Definitely, you are a mental midget I thought you were. Freaking dummy that's foaming in the mouth over a racist piece of garbage. Come over and let me drive your hungry a*s just 3 hours from here to Indiana and drop your shiiiity behind with your nazi pald and your black negro behind will turn pink in a second. A subhuman mongrel suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Is that where you routinely get you bumhole mauled? I don't swing that way, tranny.

Abbeybailey: He won twice on a landslide unlike the racist Buffon that lost by 3 million votes but was delivered by Electoral votes and Russia meddling. Manafort and Gen. Flynn will be singing like Canary birds soon after their indictments and the Big Racist Pig will be the one to go the way of Dick Nixon. MAWA: Make America White Again.
9inches: Didn't Clinton win the 2016 presidential race..... on the freakking internet!
I know you're extremely slow, and severely shortsighted as you earlier admitted, so I had to repost it for you.
The only Clinton that won the 2016 presidential election on the internet is Hillary 'Delete' Clinton.
An illegal referendum in the Spanish region of Catalonia is under way despite a massive effort by the Spanish central government to stop it. Late into the night, at schools in Barcelona, pro-independence campaigners camped out, many with children, in an attempt to keep the schools open to ensure they can be used as polling stations today.
At the Joan Pelegrí School in the Barcelona district of Sants, scores of children played in the courtyard until late. Among them we found parent Esteve Arboix. "For me, as a Catalan, it's very important. It's a moment we have been waiting for for generations. And I think it's a great opportunity for us." he said. "I will vote yes because Catalonia has its own language, it's own culture and I think it's for the best future for our families."
On the orders of the central government in Madrid, thousands of national police have been drafted in to shut down the polling stations. The Spanish government's appointee in the region said on Saturday that the technological infrastructure for voting and counting ballots had been dismantled making the referendum 'absolutely impossible'.
And speaking to Sky News from Madrid, the Spanish Foreign Minister, Alfonso Dastis, said the vote would not happen. "There is no referendum. There are no voting premises. There are no ballot papers. There are no authorities to check the authenticity of the results. There may be some sham voting in some places and streets but I don't think there is going to be a referendum tomorrow," Mr Dastis said.
The Spanish central government's assertion that the referendum is illegal is backed up by the courts and a judgement based on the Spanish constitution which says the country is indivisible. "Democracy is not above the rule of law. Democracy is guaranteed by the rule of law," Mr Dastis told Sky.
On Saturday, thousands marched through Madrid protesting against what they see as a separatist attempt to split up the nation. They demanded that the Catalan leaders be jailed. And in the Catalan capital of Barcelona, thousands more marched urging unity rather than independence. So far, there have only been minor incidents of tension between the two sides. Overall the campaign has been peaceful. But its not clear what will happen as police move in to prevent voting from taking place.
Spain's Foreign Minister preemptively placed the blame for any violence with the Catalan independence movement. "The law enforcement officers are there showing a lot of restraint. Any violence is not coming from them. There is harassment coming from the groups supporting the referendum. We will do all we possibly can," he added.
In the schools, there is a sense of nervousness. "I am not sure what will happen. I hope that everything will be peaceful," Esteve Arboix says. "If police come here to block the voting, you will show to all the world what is happening. We don't want to fight. We will just try to vote. Even if you want to say 'yes' or 'no', it's just a question of democracy."
Spain's Interior Ministry claims that police have sealed off 'most' of the region's 2,000+ polling stations. However, overnight, Sky News saw a number in central Barcelona still open.
AreaFada2: In modern times, we are more than "catmatic" sef. Even "pythonmatic".
Truth is as Africans running churches, we're basically reverting to African cosmology that we're truly and innately comfortable with . But in a way we somehow think is modern and acceptable. Under the umbrella of Christianity.
Christianity has become a one-stop shop of life encompassing spirituality, social life, entertainment, protection, marriage, business & social connections, prosperity, hope etc. Pragmatism is at the heart of it.
Why go to babalawo (marabou) when the church can prophesy & work to destroy your real or perceived enemy metaphysically holding back your economic progress, fatherhood, motherhood, career, etc? Why go clubbing if you can dance azonto to your heart's content in church? Why allow elders in your family be involved in your marital decisions when your pastor can tell you the wife/hubby God as chosen for you?
So with all these various African needs now provided in church, the populations of modern churches have exploded. There is a massive population shift from old Western churches to African churches.
A distant relative once said that she cannot just continue attending churches where they do not "see" and be caught unawares by the enemies. I foresee more innovations from even smarter MoGs in the future. Soon your ICT, financial services, shopping needs and more will be incorporated into church duties. Do not ask me how they will do it considering they are charities that do not pay taxes. But they will find a way. They already run schools, universities, hospitals, real estate, etc.
There are church-owned microfinance banks, IT centers, shopping centers already.
MsNgo40: You are correct my brother. See that's what I can't seem to understand. The Biblical Christianity that I've been raised in doesn't promote that "die by fire" thing. Never heard of that concept in my life until I came to NL. That must be a Nigerian brand of Christianity.... We can never, ever win souls to Christ by being self-righteous & dogmatic all under the guise of being an alleged "warrior for Christ" (meanwhile completely excluding/omitting the Fruit of the Spirit--which is Christ' character) which I see repeatedly in this section of NL. Unfortunately, all I see is a predominate amount of folks who just.....umm...well let me stop and quiet down. Anyhow, to those who can't see Christ (The Son of God-Christ) in us "followers of Christ"....I apologize. Please don't let that turn you away from attempting to know Who He is and can do in your life.
Abbeybailey: That is why the racist poo approval is in the 30s and Obama's in the 60s. Trump and Jnr and his aides are lawyering up for the hammer coming down on them from Director Mueller. Keep mouthing off from your hideout.
Didn't Clinton win the 2016 presidential race..... on the freakking internet!
