You can be "taken away" without being arrested or detained. The police can take you away from potential harm if they see you being provocative.

In this case however, he broke the law.

The police can take you away if you offend their protected class who are likeky to turn violent on you

---To the NL MAGA economists---Sony will hike PS5 prices Thursday as a result of Trump's trade war---

https://www.axios.com/2025/08/20/sony-ps5-price-increase-trump-tariffs

Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation 5 consoles by $50 each in the U.S. beginning Thursday, the company announced on Wednesday.

Why it matters: The move reflects companies starting to buckle under pressure from President Trump's tariffs, raising prices or signaling that increases are coming.

What they're saying: "Similar to many global businesses, we continue to navigate a challenging economic environment," Sony said in a blog post.

"As a result, we've made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price for PlayStation 5 consoles in the U.S. starting on August 21."
The recommended retail prices for PlayStation 5 accessories "remain unchanged," however.
State of play: The new prices in the U.S. range from $550 to $750.

PlayStation 5 – $549.99
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99
PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99

---Winter of hike prices is coming---

If they were to make them in America, would they be bought because the prices would be higher ?
Logically according to the article , everything should be manufactured in China because it's cheaper.

you really don't know anything at all...just keep watching movies and thinking is real life.

So it's maneuvers warfare tactics NATO will use to defeat Russia as if they are fighting Talibans right? Or you don't know the fact that for maneuver to be successful they need to have air control on the ground

The prize in Ukraine was Kiev. His rag tag army got beat back. The invasion was being talked of as a matter of days.
Russia is overrated . You cannot deny that ,it's lost less soldiers than Ukraine despite western propaganda and I also understand Putin doesn't want to destroy civilian infrastructure.

Ijebosc:
Lol @ Gavin Newsome.
Reminded me how ridiculous Trump, his supporters and this timeline are.
This 70 year old man said his ear got blown off, he wore a huge maxi-pad on it, then said it regrew back 2 weeks later like Wolverine with nary a scar.
And the media barely questioned the nonsense.

Very strange that incident.
CNN had ignored 93 rallies that year only for them to show up on that particular one for live coverage.

Then Dr Jill and Kamala suddenly had a function in PA , so most of the Secret Service resources were diverted to their gigs.

4 days before the shooting In a J uly 8, 2024: Private Donor Call (Partially Reported by Media)Event: Biden spoke on a private call with donors, where he said, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

Where Secret Service were not stationed on a roof because it has a slope according to fired SS Boss

Where Cris Wray said it was not clear whether twas fragments or a bullet..

Oh ok... Should be pretty easy to crush Russia then.

I can't wait for them to rush into Ukraine and use those training and 8 billion bullets to crush Russia in 2 months.

Neither can I . Russia military is overrated. Though fighting with NATO plus Ukraine, they should be bombing anything at will. If there were western armies on the ground and not conscripts grabbed off the street Moscow would be within sights.
See how IDF walks in anywhere like the boss. It how NATO strolled into Kuwait .

dvkot:
you are joking with your third statement right? Because I don't even know how to respond to that.

You are comparing a State control defense industry that focus on state security to a privately owned industry that focuses on profit.

Even if the use 1billion ammunition rounds its all about profit for defense industries.

We saw a real life test in the 3years war with Ukraine and iran 12 days war.

The West ran out of AD first before iran ran out of missiles.
Russia ammunition production cost wayyy less than same from the west..
The so called superior technology of the west is relatively useless against equal powers and the battlefield weapons will go dumb.
Production chain ability and mass quantity outweighs superior technology anyday, anytime.

I could go on and on but i dont have strength to type now

A trained well equiped military with no expenses spared wins the war

WriteerNg:
Wow, so bullets wins wars, not missiles and drones.

Learnt something new today.

It should be pretty easy for Ukraine to crush Russia in the next few months. Ukraine is backed by the Almighty USA.

I wonder why they're begging for a cease-fire when they have access to such mighty 8 billion ammunition rounds.

Meant the average soldier has fired enough bullets and us very well trained .
The average pilot has spent countless hours training for every possible mission scenario.
The army holds territory in a war.
Add air supremacy and the Americans will virtually beat any army.

Putin is a former spy.

I won't be surprised if he instructed his guys to start gathering data on everything they saw in Alaska.

If you really believe the bolded, then you must be a kid.

Maybe he collected data, but we all know his 4 S-300s were taken out by Israel in Iran. America is more capable in Suppressing Air defences than Israel.
In a purely conventional war with Russia, America would crush Russia within a few months
American military fires 2 billion rounds of ammunition in a year (wartime ) mostly for training. USAF consumes 8 billion litres of fuel annually accounting for 10% of US consumption. That makes it's military highly trained , nothing is spared

⚡Trump:

Zelensky can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.

I would think Zelensky has no choice but to accept the Russian held Ukraine territory as part of Ukraine without giving them up. Russia becomes an occupying power and is treated as such . Wealth generated from those territories can be shared among the two in a peace deal.
Putin gets what he wants
No gas from eastern Ukraine to Europe , Ukraine doesn't get to join NATO.
Putin returns some of the captured territory that has not held referendums.

WriteerNg:
⚡Zelensky says Ukraine's constitution makes giving up land "impossible," and should only be discussed at a trilateral meeting; if Russia "refuses," more sanctions "must" be imposed.

He is free to send his armies to reclak the land. Putin not giving him back Zelensky just wants war.

I don’t know if it's possible but I hope Russia was able to collect enough data on the F-35 and B2 bombers parked near Putin's plane.

Even the radar absorbing paint on the ones that flew by.

And pass it to Iran, so the US get a wonderful surprise the next time they send those bombers to Iran.

I don't think so. Putin plane has radar, without Visuals it's possible he didn't know there were F-22s escorting him. I also think the B2 bombers that flew by was another way of telling Putin's, we can take out Moscow and you won't know what hit you.
Trump in his first term though overzealous was negotiating with a Taliban leader. He showed him a photo of his home , the Taliban never killed a single American after that.

Hillary Clinton supports Trump forcing hapless outmanoeuvred Europeans to up their NATO spending.

Tarlov: There’s been a lot of conversation about the breakdown of the post world war two order, and we don’t have the same kind of relationships with our allies. To put it in Clintonian terms, there’s a lot of dumb power being used, not a lot of smart power. How far, I guess, do you think this breakdown has been if we would be welcomed back into the proverbial fold. It seems like from the NATO summit that that is the case, that our European allies are just waiting for Donald Trump to turn around and say, “Actually, I would like to go back to more or less the way things were, because we are better together than we are on our own.” What are your thoughts on that?

Clinton: You know,Jessica, I actually was encouraged by the events of the last several months. First of all, the NATO commitment by individual member states to increase their defense spending is very welcome. It’s something that prior administrations have certainly sought, and I think it’s great that we are seeing these commitments that now have to be followed through on; the willingness of European countries to support Ukraine, and by doing so, buy American weapons in order to provide them to the Ukrainians.

I think all of that is a very good signal that there is beginning to be a better understanding, both by the President and the people around him, as well as by the leaders of our European allies, that there can be common ground amongst us, and the kind of dismissiveness that we saw in the first Trump administration has been replaced by a much more obvious working relationship to the good of European security, transatlantic security, and hopefully Ukrainian security. So, I’m actually encouraged.

Trump is also arming the Ukrainians, with a caveat. Europe buys the weapons then they can transfer them to Ukraine.

At the bolded, if some Yoruba people are being "dehumanized" by a section of the Benin republic armed forces, is it enough reason for Nigeria to send the Nigerian army into Benin republic to "protect the so called native Nigerians?"

If so called native Russians are being dehumanized in another man's country, logic dictates that they should return home. And if they can't, they live according to the laws of that land and explore legal and non volent ways to express their plight to the central government NOT carrying arms against the government 🧏🧏

The native Russians in Ukraine are Ukraine Russians.

Putin doesn't want Ukraine replacing Russia as EU gas and energy supplier,the war disrupted Shell fracking developments in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine also hiked the transit tariffs of Russia gas to EU bound pipeline forcing then to deploy alternative pipelines. Putin didn't need the Ukrainians that much after nordstream and turkstream.

I addressed the root cause. Overthrow of Ukraine govt via maidan and failure of the Minsk accord

Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany acknowledged that the agreements were not intended to resolve the conflict in the Donbas region but rather served to allow Ukraine time to strengthen its military capabilities.

In her reflections, she indicated that the 2014 Minsk agreement was part of a strategy that ultimately did not lead to a lasting peace but rather facilitated preparations for further military actions.

Gbadebo19:
Pootin asking to keep the Donbass sounds like a thief asking to keep stolen goods in return with a promise not to steal again. 🤡🤡

And why is Pootin asking Ukraine to withdraw from all of the Donbass region? I thought you were taking land everyday and controlling the whole of the Donbass. Nairaland armchair war generals, how market?🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

He took it by force " to protect native Russians who were being dehumanized by the Azov Nazi brigade '.
Ukrainians with the help of NATO are free to send their armies to take back their former territories. Putin is not giving it back,you want it come for it

EU want a ceasefire plan with boots on the ground protected by American military. Trump ruled that out. Both Putin and Trump want a peace agreement, not a ceasefire plan. The root of the conflict is the West overthrow of the then Russia friendly govt , and the failure of the west and Ukraine to honor the Minsk Agreements.

Trump don want joke with China companies repackaging goods in other low tariff rate countries and exporting to USA .

I'll reserve my thoughts for now , but I basically don't have pity for people whose only purpose in life is to exterminate another race. If they ever came up with a plan to purify their own water, build industries and not for rocket manufacture, build nice ocean resorts , Instead of just plotting to drive the Yehudi to the sea, my opinion of them will change. That is they stop demanding the rest of the sane world provide them with everything including food. Show me one development plan they have that doesn't involve fighting Israel.

---Total distraction from releasing the Epstein files---as usual nothing will be achieved---NSA, FBI, DoJ are just chasing shadows---

The way they are exposing the crimes of Obama , Brennan, Comey and Clapper on the media concerns me. You don't go prosecuting your cases yo the media, they can claim jury bias if they are ever on trial. I suspect the biggest criminal Obama will get away .let's see if his wife will divorce him.

Epstein doesn't seem to have had a list, but you cannot trust the FBI to have preserved any evidence that touches on democrats. The FBI being the criminal body it was, would likely have destroyed every evidence they have against Epstein leaving out Trump if he was involved. In all the trials, Epstein victims only fingered him and were not asked a lot about others paedos. He was the chief Paedo, flying with young girls all over.

PDPGuy:
The biggest beneficiaries of a Trump win in 2020, could be the likes of AOC or Tulsi Gabbard to run in 2024.
On Election Day 2024, AOC will be 35, and would have had 5 years of experience as a Congresswoman.

Also, if Tulsi Gabbard finishes in the top 3 or 4 of the Democratic nominating contest for 2020, she stands a good chance of clinching the party’s nomination in 2024. Her political moderation would be a key selling point in that race.

What did they do to Tulsi Gabbard?

A man threw a subway sandwich at a law enforcement officer, ran away but was apprehended after a foot chase. He has been charged with a felony and fired. He was a lawyer working for the DOJ 😁😁😁. was an international affairs specialist in the Office of International Affairs for the Criminal Division. . He should've eaten it instead of using it as assault weapon.

Another crazy liberal faces upto 8 years. Emily Gabriella Sommer, was charged with violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111. 3 . She threatened her neighbor with a crowbar, after being told she faces severe sentence she spat and kicked at US Marshals. The then Acting US Attorney was addressing Newsmax when she walked upto him , " You are Ed Martin?" Then spat on him. She has pled guilty to 3 felony charges .

What more proof is needed to show that Liberalism is a mental disease?

So much is being declassed that I can see a Netflix blockbuster in 2 years time. .

Budaatum, feedthenation, Ijebos frequently quote from New York Times.
Declassed docs show Comey was leaking classified info to NYT through his friend,a Columbia law professor David Richman. Comey had FBI hire him as a Special Govt Employee, and gave him superpower security clearance. Then Comey would use Ruchnan to spread his lied without using the official FBI press protocols. . Richman was friends with Michael Schmidt of NYT who used to visit his him .
Comey also authorized Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to leak to the NYT noting that the NYT already had classified info that they needed to clalify .Russiagate lies that they made up .

Ijebos , NYT is nothing but propaganda. You subscribe to receive bogus information
They publish an article sourced from FBI , every other media reports it as gospel truth.

The disclosures come from “Arctic Haze,” a leak investigation opened on 14 August 2017 that examined four media stories carrying material the bureau deemed classified. The inquiry concluded in September 2021 with no criminal referrals after the Justice Department said it could not prove who leaked what, despite internal findings of unauthorized disclosures

A timeline provided by Kash Patel regarding the handling of Clinton email scandal

Feb. 2016 – DOJ signals to FBI that it “would not be supportive” of investigating the Clinton Foundation.

Mid-Feb. 2016 – Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe orders that “no overt investigative steps” be taken without his personal approval.

Spring–Summer 2016 – Agents in Little Rock move to a full investigation but are denied permission to collect even basic documents.

June 2016 – Attorney General Loretta Lynch meets privately with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix; both deny discussing the case.

July 2016 – FBI Director James Comey announces “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against Clinton, effectively ending the investigation in public view.

Late Oct. 2016 – McCabe leaks details of the Clinton probe to The Wall Street Journal.

Nov. 1, 2016 – McCabe recuses himself from the case, days before the election.

Contrast – At the same time, the FBI opens “Crossfire Hurricane” against Trump in a matter of days based on minimal evidence.

2025 – AG Pam Bondi authorizes a strike force and grand jury to investigate possible criminal conspiracies tied to the 2016 suppression.

Meanwhile, over in the Trump camp, the bureau opened a full investigation within days based on the flimsy “Australia tip” about a bar conversation involving George Papadopoulos.

Hunter can dismiss the lawsuit because no jury in DC will rule against democrats.If the case goes before an Obama or Biden judge ,Melania will be the one found liable. You can thank Obama fir promoting DEI and activist judges

Obama can't sue now, his reputation is in tatters because of the coup plot. Clinton is the one who started the born in Kenya rumour. All the same that's gtound for defamation I agree. But I also think the public had a right to know that he wasn't a connan .

IjeBos:
Melania Trump threatened to sue Hunter Biden for defamation after he said Epstein introduced her to Trump based on the report of Wolf, who interviewed Epstein.

Pro Tip: It's probably not a good idea to threaten someone with a Yale Law Degree who likes to take risks like smoking crack.

Kinda stupid thing for Melania to do.
The lawsuit will most certainly not go forward as Trump and Melania would have to testify under oath in a deposition.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs9v0sdZixs

So I can defame you that you are a terrorist sympathiser . When you sue me, you have to do a deposition. I should be the one to testify under oath to prove my claims. If I depose you and you lie , that is a crime that can see you jailed.
I think your brain works in reverse gear.
It's not the same as me defaming you that you conned me if I have receipts , you might have to testify. .This one is Hunter parroting what someone said, he should get to prove his point or withdraw not fir Melania to prove he lied.
Yours is the most foolish reasoning I have ever come across.

Declassified by Tusli Gabbard is an email from NSA in Dec 2016. NSA director Mike Rogers emails Clapper telling him the ICA Obama wants is being hurried, his agents have not seen underlying intelligence to support Russia helped Trump. This was the ICA Obama ordered produced to show Putin interfered with elections while the real truth is that Putin didn't affect the results. He meddled , but wasn't enough .

So James clapper repiies to NSA and tells him they have to be in line . They have to agree to the doctored ICA.

DNI Clapper to NSA Director Rogers: “That’s OUR story, and we’re stickin’ to it”

By the time the ICA is released , NSA gives it moderate confidence while CIA, FBI and ODNI give it high confidence
The ICA was a product of the 4 three letter agencies, they went ahead to lie that all 17 Intelligence Community Agencies agreed with the ICA.

https://nypost.com/2025/08/13/opinion/obama-aides-admit-russiagate-was-a-smear-campaign-against-trump/

To make it worse the resultant ICA is circulated to over 250 people , increasing the chances of it being leaked .
The leading figures in the Russia Hoax have spent years deceiving the American public by presenting their manufactured and politicized assessments as credible intelligence. The email released today reinforces what we already exposed: the decision to compromise standards and violate protocols in the creation of the 2017 manufactured intelligence assessment was deliberate and came from the very top,” said DNI Gabbard. “Clapper’s own words confirm that complying with the order to manufacture intelligence was a ‘team sport.’”
So far todate
It all started with Clinton emails. Sally Yates wanted the investigation stopped So they stopped it and accused Trump of being Putin puppet. They spied on him but he won. They used the Russia collusion to hamstring him , Schiff told his staff the leaks were meant to be used to indict Trump .
That's part one of "The plot against the President"
