Jim Acosta is back to tell the Emperor he's naked!

Yes He's back. Our president works for the people and that's what the Dotard doesn't understand. 1st amendment is the hallmark of democracy. We don't tolerate a tyrant in our country. By the way, the Judge that ruled was appointed by Trump. Big ups for 1st Amendment.

America at her best. A Federal Judge has ruled that WH should grant access to Jim Costa of CNN News to get his WH Pass. It comes down to 1st amendment right which is the base of our Democracy. For the likes of Obixcel and his uninformed friends, America is not a dictatorship.

Heil Hitler, Heil Trump being yelled by a Nazi guy in a Theater in Maryland during a show. The White Nationalist and Klans are showing their face in the open courtesy of the Racist Pig in Chief. This is sad for America and ultimately the forces of Good will triumph over the forces of Evil permeating the Fruited Plains.

Democrats just flipped another Republican congressional seat in Maine. Another heartache for the racist pig and his blind followers. By the time the final counts in California comes in, the Democrats would have gained about 40 congressional seats and some clowns here are saying that's not a Blue Wave. Can't wait till January when the new Congress is sworn in to see the demented old bigot lose what's left of his sanity.

obixcel:
Once again you've seen what we've all been hammering on about this Nonsensical Lucasbabboon who has demonstrated time and time again that he is incapable of forming a decent opinion on any issue without resorting to insults Folks who do that have lost the debate/argument already.

Funny enough that Baboon lives in a jungle and need I say more. Bunch of worthless underachievers with Cheap Made in China phone trying to get valuation on Nairaland.

itchie:
Again the baboon confirms that he is sired by another baboon who is more foolish than he is . Who was making noise about a wave? Was it not the crazy liberal mob you belong to? Were we not always been told a blue wave was coming? Now you want to change the story because your imaginary blue wave turned to a blue puddle .

Keep your hallucination going in your cave. You will get your usual little bag of rice and cooking all from your Thieflicians who bastadised your life with their corruption. Keep shouting yourself hoarse about a country you only know in your dreams.

itchie:
As usual you have started insulting because your ignorance has been exposed . I gave a very important advice to one very foolish baboon named Lucas yesterday, I hope you saw it, No mad baboons will be allowed into 2019, that baboon's madness must end with 2018.

That advice is for the hungry baboon that seared you in the village. Upon all the noise you and your brethren were making about Red Wave. There goes the red wave. The worthless pig will start smelling himself starting from January when the new Congress is sworn in and nothing people of your ilk can do but moan on Nairaland.

itchie:
Wrong again as usual, Minnesota didn't vote for Trump. Ohio did vote for him and Ohio remained red and as they say in political circles, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation Trump will win in 2020

I am not the curse of your woes in life. Your life will get better when the minimum wage increases to N30.000. I was going to say Michigan instead of Minnesota.

obixcel:
Plzzzzzzzz keep Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.. Pulizzzzzzz

NP will be the speaker for the next Congress. Your racist Lord is losing his sanity and the new Congress will not be sworn in till early January. The landscape of America looks bad for Hitler lite because the 3 States ( Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan ) that took him over the edge went Blue. @TRM.

Appleyard:
Alright., Lucas,. May the Good man above keep us all till then.

That I absolutely agree with. Will be in Lagos for Xmas with my parents and probably spend about 5 weeks and if you are near Lagos, you can holla at me so that we can go have some fun. The treat is on me. lol.

PDPGuy:
She hasn't yet said she is stepping down. NP is definitely running for Speaker again.
But she has indicated that she would be in the position for a long time. I interpret that as her only serving till 2020, then stepping down for another person to take over.

Exactly my thought. In 2020, she will be 80 years old.

armyofone:
Why is Nancy Pelosi not stepping down as speaker ? @ PDPGuy Why not someone else ?
Abbeybailey any idea ?

I think she should be given one more chance because she worked hard and she was a successful Speaker before. The main disadvantage to her is that she's 78 year old. ONE more term as a Speaker and the Democrats can look for new leader.

budaatum:
That's not why they are against him! And they're not all against him.

Those who dislike Trump dislike him because he is not touting ideas they like, he has an orange face, and because, "President Trump" just makes some people's bellys run.

Could someone give me a list of mainstream media who like Trump please.

No, a lot dislike him for his hateful rhetoric and constant lies. The press is not suppose to like any president because they are the Fourth Estate and Trump constant lies and demagoguery has to be pointed out. That's the essence of 1st amendment in our constitution. If you think the Press is hard on Trump, Google President Reagan and Sam Donaldson of ABC News in the late 80s.

budaatum:
I don't mind waiting to see the outcome. Win or lose, the WH's decision still needs to be challenged. We don't have Emperor Trump, yet!

You are absolutely right. There's no Emperor or King in America and that's why all the News Channels are against Trump including Fake and Racist Faux News.

Appleyard:
Lucas, don't play with FIRE! You obfuscated my time peeping machine and gave me a cheap Chicago glasses with Mueller's Russian gate blood on it, and now, I can't find my cosmic rhythm anymore. What have you done, Lucas, I must have compensation for this encroachment.

You will surely be compensated when we boot your idol out of Pennsylvania Avenue in 2020. That will be the icing on the cake for Tens of millions of Americans that belongs to TRM ( TRUMP RESISTANCE MOVEMENT ).

CreepyBlackpool:
I don't pay no fvcking tithe

but I give to the beggers in the streets


why should you enrich already rich men of God and neglect the poor ones begging for alms in the streets.


"Whatsoever you do to the LEAST of your brothers, that you do unto me"

If your pastor that lives in a mansion, has fleet of cars, private jet sef, eats whatever, whenever he/she wants. If that one is the least of your brothers, then by all means keep paying tithe to him

Gbam.

gesundheit:
How far with your seven GOP sits predicted by the cosmic mirror?

Don't mind the Cosmic man. I don't know what he was smoking when he made that stupid statement. That is the effect of watching Racist Faux News. The problem with the pig a*s lickers is that they lie just like the sociophathic liar they love. when all the returns are in from California, there's a probability of Democrats winning 40 House seats and that to me is a blue Wave. MORE woes to come in 2020 for the clueless one.

itchie:
2018 is ending and a certain old frail-looking baboon is still showing signs of madness. My advice to that baboon is for him to make sure this madness ends with 2018. No mad baboons must be allowed into 2019.

You must be describing your hungry father in the village.

budaatum:
Send somebody else and let the White House get away with it?

You joking!

That guy is a clown . He think of Trampy as a King. There's a reason we don't have royalty in America. No one not even the POTUS is above the law. The clown think Americans should worship the racist pig he adores. Trump ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till January when the new Congress is sworn in and they start probing into his criminal financial dealings and his unreleased taxes. That will be America at her best with Checks and Balances.

Appleyard:
More babel. Anybody who claim to be a scholar can come forward to give his own thought on any word or phrase, but such independent definitions doesn't denigrate from the fact that the word or phrase concerned has its natural meaning to begin with.

Just as someone can define a knife to be a tool for cutting through food items, another scholar can come forward to define it as a tool used in killing people during a fight. While that is true, does it mean that the purpose of using a knife is strictly for killing? This is the mindset of the scholars you quoted, and also the idiotic postulations the Kid president of France was trying to pass on to the US president, and I find that very stupid and unintelligent.

Macron fails to know that when a word or phrase has a compound meaning, you cannot use it exclusively or try to make it an absolute. Let that sink in.

While Patriotism has been around for 150 years before the use of nationalism, the latter's original meaning naturally correlate with that of Patriotism. Nationalism came into popularity in the early 19th century, and it originally means strong devotion and loyalty to one's country.

It was not until the 20th century when matters of political sovereignty and battle for self-determination takes central stage that some scholars started introducing different conceptual definitions to the original meaning of the term nationalism. But it never denies the fact that it shares same original idea with Patriotism.

Therefore, the assumption that fighting for the right of one's country is radical nationalism is, I must say, sheer fallacy, baseless and puerile.

You forget to mention that the Macron you are talking about is the president of a country that thinks its language and culture is better than all others. I guess you know nothing about the French policy of Association and the Policy of Assimilation used by colonial France on Africa. All colonial rule are rooted under the principles of radical nationalism, if we are to go by that term.

France and Britain are grandpatrons of nationalism, but i guess you don't know that because, when liberals are involved, nationalism can only mean "white nationalism", especially where Trump is the object of discussion. Pathetic thinking.

Every nation on earth has a presumably notion of nationalism, whether you like it or not. The Germans will forever see themselves as the most innovative people on earth, the British think they live a way of life that is unrivaled anywhere in the world, while the Jews think they are the most perculial set of people on the planet, even as the United States thinks its democracy and way of life trumps all others in the world, and so will do anything necessary to project the American dream even to the shores of other nations. All these are driven by Nationalistic ideas interwoven in Patriotism.

So for Macron to attempt lecturing the leader of another country about nationalism, when himself preside over one of the world's most nationalistic countries, makes him a hypocrite, or simply because he doesn't understand a jot of what the two terms actually meant from their original usage.

You can take that to the bank.

Garbage as usual from a racist pig Pom Pom waiving cheerleader. Trump called himself a Nationalist and every decent American knows that's a subliminal message to the Klans , Aryan members, White Nationalists , Storm Troopers and other vile degenerates that supports him. You can write your junk all you want on Nairaland, the Bottom line is you do not matter when the rubber meets the road.

CNN sues the White House



You don't mean it! Just send somebody else! Morons! Hahahaha

Why don't you hop on a plane and come over to dismiss the CNN lawsuit. When you were born and raised under a Semi dictatorial government most of your life, it's no surprise that your antiquated third world mentality is an abomination. There's is something we call 1st amendment here which is foreign to you and your other racist a*s licking friends.

It's official. Krysten Sinema, Democrat won the Arizona Senate seat being vacated by Sen Jeff Flake. Republican Martha Mcsally just conceded. Congrats to Senator elect Krysten Sinema.

wirinet:
Egocentricity is indeed a huge mental disease. You have world leaders, writers, scientists and intellectuals define the difference between nationalism and patriotism, citing the dangers of nationalism, and someone who has no achievement in his life will term them ignorant. Are you even qualified to wipe the ground Macron walks on?

Here are other definition of Nationalism by other intellectual greats;
“Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism. Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.”
― George Orwell

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.- Albert Einstein

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. - Charles de Gaulle

even Merriam-Webster dictionary quoted by obixcel makes a distinction between Patriotism and Nationalism;

These two words may have shared a distinct sense in the 19th century, but they appear to have grown apart since. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that only nationalism has grown apart, since the meaning of patriotism has remained largely unchanged. There are still obvious areas of overlap: we define patriotism as “love for or devotion to one’s country” and nationalism in part as “loyalty and devotion to a nation.” But the definition of nationalism also includes “exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.” This exclusionary aspect is not shared by patriotism. -https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/patriotism-vs-nationalism

Trump himself acknowledged the negative connotation of the word nationalism when he described himself as a nationalist;


I understand that IPOB are Nationalists, that is why hatred of others take precedence to love of themselves.

It makes no difference what Trump a*s lickers on Nairaland says, every decent and rational Americans know he's a White Nationalist and him confirming it by calling himself a Nationalist surprises no rational American. The bootlickers here can spout their Basura but when the chips are down, not single one of them counts.

TonyeBarcanista:
Continue praying for Nigeria

It's not about praying. It's about holding the worthlessly inept and corrupt Thieflicians accountable. Maybe, a revolution the type of Rawlings in Ghana will do the magic to rid Nigeria of the leaders destroying the country. Sometimes blood have to be shed to cleanse the land of the maggots infesting the land. Sad but true.

chukxie:
Dear Op:
I must say I totally enjoyed your accounts of your cross continental journeys. And I must say I unequivocally agree with all you said concerning sub saharan African countries especially Nigeria. You see until I left Nigeria I never really knew how bad, I mean rotten things were. In Nigeria people are so used to suffering that they have come to accept it as a way of life, like that is how things are meant to be. We lack even the most basic of amenities. We suffer miserably without any respite in the horizon. So often times I get infuriated by gullible Nigerians who continually sing praise for the same politicians who have stolen our collective wealth. These same gullible individuals would heap praises on politicians for commissioning pedestrian bridges. Good luck in all you do, bro.

Gbam.

budaatum:
Someone on here already said the liberals are trying to rig the elections by stealing votes. Perhaps Trump would say Obama voted a few times too many.

My friend, don't mind the cuckoo bird. They have been having mental breakdown like the racist pig they love. Can you see how deranged the Orange Dotard has been since the midterm shellacking ?. He ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till the Congress resumes in January and see that the Orange haired buffoon will lose all that is left of his mental being. It gladdens my heart though.

PDPGuy:
Gillum and Nelson may not win, but boy did they make Florida super competitive

Yes they surely did. All the votes including absentee and mail in ballots should count. That's the American way.

It's official now that Florida will have a recount on the Senate, Governorship and Agricultural Commisioner's elections because they are too close and several outstanding mail ballots still to be counted. That's according to Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner who oversees the elections in the Sunshine State.

Temple1288:
I understand your frustration. But that frustrated will accompany you even after 2020. I've got places to go to this morning. I've gone thru all your posts and I know very well you don't live anywhere near the USA.

You are right. I live next door to you in your village.

Temple1288:
Well, he achieved nothing! Hopefully you'll live to see Trump win again in 2020.
Even in the State where Obama was a Senator which you claim you live in is a messed up State.
A State that owes billions. Whenever I see blacks jumping around the tail of Obama y'all make me laugh.
A State that was unable to reach a budget deal at all is the State where y'all camp around to celebrate the failed President. Mind you, Illinois has the distinction of being the first state ever to operate without a budget for more than a year.. I live in America and I know how Trump outperformed Obama just in 2years.

Yes, knowing all that from the village. Obama was elected twice overwhelmingly both on numerical and electoral votes and up till today is approval number is sky high compared to the racist pig. The reason Illinois didn't pass a budget is because of our republicon gov Bruce Rainer and we just voted him out last Tuesday. So, worry about your worthless thieflicians in your backwater village.

Temple1288:
Yes I will vote for him. Don't insult Trump by comparing him to a man who achieved nothing positive while he was in the White House

In your dreams. How will you know what he achieved from your village ?.

Be like say China phones don do you long tin ....
