Emaciated in a territory with the highest obesity rates in the world.
Obesity is a direct result of starvation Gaza is the largest open air prison in the world, a prison is where inmates have factories manufacturing rockets, drones and firing them into their Israel.

Thank you for replying to my "follow the money" post. We've got new news for you cultist.

3 hours before Trump launched his meme coin, someone placed a $1,096,109 million bet 3 hours before Meme coin launch.

You see? In normal times, this is the sort of confidence that nobody has because the SEC will be all over your ass in minutes. But enter the Trump administration.... what SEC? Everything was preemptively arranged, sheep.

It's all about the money, sheep. It's all about the money.
If there was any wrong doing then in January 2028,Trump will pardon himself and anyone else he fancies.
You should never have voted for democrats .In 2020 Trump would have pardoned himself and anyone else he fancied , he didn't.They jumped on him ,trying to kill him when they couldn't stop him. They screamed that he couldn't issue pardons then
Diversion. How come we knew Kyle Rittenhouse shoe size but we know nothing about the two Trump attempted assassins?

Another instance of democrats fuckups. Harry Reid removed the 60 Senate vote requirement for SCOTUS judges vote thinking a republican would never be president. Ginsburg refused to step down thinking Clinton would have the honours of replacing her.

Democrats are just stupid, crying over spilt milk.
Every president has people who are out to support him in return for something.At least with Trump it won't be USAID money

Follow the money. It's all about money. It's all about absolute power to consolidate wealth.

These useful idiots think they are making the world a better place. Their Fuhrers are making themselves richer at Americans' expense. You wanna know why they are cutting those agencies?... Follow the money.
Trump joining politics in my opinion was mainly because Obama blasted him at a White House correspondent dinner.
He had been saying the same things about America being exploited by Japan and other nations from late eighties .Later he was publicly miffed at fully loaded ships docking at American ports and leaving with empty containers.The so called Panamax and Post Panamax ships. Oprah Winfrey in an interview almost begged him to run.. later when he did she declared, "Donald, I'm with her". The witch.
If he didn't join politics he would be playing golf and having a blast. I've heard haters saying that he wanted his executive jet be gold plated but was rebuffed because it would increase the weight.Gold is 19.3 gm per cc.

On this he ranks top if not the only one who became President to improve America and not self enrichment. His advisors, aides and friends are in it for the money, they have to get their pound of beef for their support to him. Noone joins politics out of philanthropy. Apart from




Trump.

China is building roads all over the world, investing in Infrastructure in different countries, has recently become part of the biggest free trade agreement and is quiet about it while Trump is rambling on and on like a lunatic with “a concept of a plan”.

USA is a superpower in decline and Xi is now the most powerful man on the planet. The empty pot Trump is making a lot of noise accomplishing nothing. Xi, way more intelligent, is moving his country forward, filling the vacuum Trump with his isolationism is leaving behind while at the same time destroying the relations with long-standing allies.

China is winning in all of this, quietly and gracefully. That’s why Trump’s granddaughter was singing for Xi and his wife in Mandarin at Mar-a-Lago. cheesy

Anyone who doesn’t see that Trump is all noise, no brain has a very low IQ. I thought dvmb people were a minority but that doesn’t seem to be the case in the US. How else could a country vote for this fish brain TWICE?
China model is different from the west They loan out money get their companies to construct modern projects then you pay later .
I'd rather America as the superpower than Xi.
X , Google, FB is not allowed in China, I doubt nairaland is allowed too.
Or let's put it this way. Go to China, create a thread on nairaland critical to Xi . See how it will work out for you.
Or ask Deepseek about Tianamen massacre.

It’s completely asinine to even suggest or insinuate that an American president can defy court orders.. Whether it’s a Democratic or Republican president threatening to do so, it’s simply unacceptable; unless you believe the U.S. has become a banana republic like so many other countries..
Yes it's unheard of a president to defy court orders. I posted this yesterday.

Student Loan Forgiveness:
The Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration overstepped its authority in attempting to cancel up to $400 billion in student loans. Despite this, Biden's administration has continued to grant forgiveness through existing programs.
Immigration Policies:
The Supreme Court has blocked some of Biden's immigration policies, including attempts to end the "Remain in Mexico" policy. However, the administration has sought to implement alternative measures that may not fully align with the Court's directives.
Vaccine Mandates:
The Court struck down Biden's vaccine mandate for large employers, yet the administration has continued to promote vaccination through other channels and initiatives.
Environmental Regulations:
The Supreme Court has limited the Biden administration's ability to enforce certain environmental regulations, particularly regarding emissions. The administration has pursued other regulatory avenues despite these setbacks.

These are not judges... They are activists - interfering often making ex-parte rulings where they don't listen to the govts views.

Full time too.
Let me tell you a true story.

That's how crooks work. James Comey FBI director, met with Trump to tell him about the fake dossier. Apparently Russian hookers had urinated on Trump in the hotel room Obama had spent while in Moscow years bqck. Steele claimed Russia had this on tape. Ever heard of kompromat? It was a cock and bull story . FBI had opened an investigation into his collusion with Putin. FBI knew it was pure lies.They knew Cris Steele source had lied and they had interviewed him. After the meeting Comey leaked to media about his meeting. Media ran off with Trump is being investigated . Buzzfeed published Cris Steele junk dossier. The idea that Putin had installed Trump started gaining ground with FBI McCabe and Co leaking selectively to tarnish his presidency. To make it worse Comey after the meeting wrote down everything in a memo .
Later Trump fired Comey. He leaked the meeting minutes to a friend of his who in turn gave it to a newspaper. Comey had no business leaving employment with that classified document in the first case.(You might want to remember this when he is indicted). Rosenstein appointed Mueller to investigate the collusion hoax. Mueller didn't find any shred of evidence of the Trump campaign working with Russia.
However Mueller refused to exonerate Trump on obstruction charges. What obstruction. That Trump fired Comey who was investigating him. Trump had sought written advice of his first RINO AG who had recused himself and Rosenstein the deputy AG.

Back to Musk. They was investigating him. Now that he has found evidence of criminality you are running off here with " He is going after those investigating him".

Deep state will be crushed. Too bad you will dismiss this story due to your TDS.

You these shameless Elon boys need to get a life.
How much you think X is worth now?.
It's revenues are down because of the cancel culture.
Banks are buying X debt at upto 97 cts to the dollar. They have sold over $5.5 billion last week. Tells you investors know they will recover the money.

Feb 2025 The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants,” said Musk via X. “Spending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.”

Well, Trump can choose to turn US into a Banana Republic and a laughingstock of many nations but eventually he will leave that office. I do no doubt the fact he might be nursing the idea of cancelling elections to replace it with a concept of a plan on his head. Afterall he told Christians they won't have to vote after the last election again and people are still figuring what exactly he meant... But any attempt by Trump or his party to cancel elections will not work. The turmoil that will follow will break US. So ordinarily I don't believe Trump craziness will reach that level.
Reminds me of Monday morning talks in the office You think guys are busy in the office, their internal phone extensions busy for an hour .Discussing how Bukayo Saka should have scored a brace had he jumped two inches higher..

cococandy. Your CFPB is gone . Their X account is closed. Offices closed this week
CFPB structure was they request funds quarterly from the federal reserve. Current acting Head wrote to Federal Reserve informing them that the body needs $0 . Well CFPB already has $750 million in the bank .
Wikipedia article highlights some problems with the body
DOGE will reveal whether it's another body that targeted the democrat enemies or was just another liberal slush fund.
Vought can't shut it down He can just continue demanding $0 from the feds ,until everyone resigns.

The whitelash people are always there and were there in 2020, you only need to swing 10% of people to stay home or switch sides based on economy and that's what happened.
How will your theory hold when it's proven Trump conclusively won in 2020 but Marc Elias had other ideas in 5 swing states.
Your 10% swing theory is junk science.
Trump has never had a level playing field. 24/7 MSM negative coverage and blatant lies . You no fit to make any comment about politics.
