So no answer, I was hoping you'd demonstrate a grain of knowledge on the topic.

You're claiming "Extreme far-right racists" are not Nazis.
Making a distinct with little to no different.
Are Russians Nazis? They are ultra far right and conservatives?

Ditto Koreans and Japanese.

Germany is never going back to the far right. Stop dreaming
Far right ... There is the extreme far right racists who by the way are not Nazis. Almost all whites if not all think you are inferior, For most leftists, it's just a feel good thing to virtual signal but inwardly they think whites are superior.
Germany coalition is breaking apart, new elections will just be a matter of when not if.
The left biggest problem is their smugness, a know it all attitude and abject desire to shut down any criticism.

The impending German govt collapse, because of inflation ?
Germany took a hit from Nordstream. They want more America gas which is more expensive than Russian.
Their net zero green energy is not reliable, they need their coal plants and nuclear plants.

Joy Reid of MSNBC has deleted her X account.... Who knows whether She had private DMs with the deep state bordering on treason?

MSNBC in the week since Mr. Trump’s election win. MSNBC has averaged 550,000 viewers since Election Day, a 39 percent decline compared with the network’s average in October. In prime time, MSNBC’s audience has declined 53 percent, according to the Nielsen data

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Matt Gaetz as the AG is not a shocker.
It's the MOAB. Mother of All Bombs.
I've read up opinions and here are brief summaries.

Matt Gaetz is from Florida. He has effectively resigned from his house seat. The ethics house investigation immediately stops. It was a setup ...Don't convince me the FBI didn't have it's dirty fingers in that matter.....
Thune is the Majority leader. He must approve Gaetz.
Florida Senator Marc Rubio is headed to the State Department.
If the Senate refuses to advance Gaetz then Desantis appoints him as the Florida senator , he goes to the same Senate that rejects him.
Gaetz ,Rubio and Stefanik seats are safe Red seats.
Gaetz is still the house rep , that's the position he resigned from immediately, don't know whether he can get sworn in the house in January because apparently he has resigned from this session. That's for lawyers and he is one.
Gaetz performance. He has held past FBI directors and Garland to the fire in Congress. You only need to watch clips of him on YouTube to know that he will mean business with these clowns who thought they would have another four years to go after Trump supporters. They went after Giuliani, Powell, Lewadonsky, Flynn, J6ers, etc because, well they could. Gaetz will be boss of FBI .. the Comeys, Strozks, McCabe's etc thought they was small gods.
What did FBI do about Epstein list? .What did they find in Peado island whose temple in image below is now destroyed.
Trump's team. Ratcliffe and Kash Patel were among the ones who revealed the extent of spying on Trump campaign. In particular Kash Patel was one of the authors of the report that found FBI faked Russia Collusion, the document copy they badly wanted to find in Mar a Lago. Kash and Ratcliffe as the CIA directors!!
Grennel was another one who wanted to declassify everything.
Trump will hit them back harder in his words than they hit him.
Texas AG has filed suit asking DOJ to preserve all records concerning Jack Smith investigation. Past investigators destroyed evidence they collected. Mueller team, 50 plus iphones were intentionally bricked by entering wrong password over 10 times in the process wiping out icloud accounts. The J6 sham committee also destroyed their records forcing the incoming house committee to use forensic recovery tools to recover ALL their deleted data.
Chess piece. If the Senate refuses to pass Gaetz Ken Paxton the Texas AG might be nominated.
Again Senator Thune is eyeing South Dakota Governor's seat after retirement in a few years, he needs Trump endorsement to win it.
As to recess appointments, Thune might be called upon to send Senate on recess so Trump can appoint his cabinet and other positions

All in all this move by Trump is a grandmasters chess move.
I'll quote Obama ..
"You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change."
........
"Elections have consequences.” “Tough luck, you lost. Get over it.”
........
"We're not just going to be waiting for legislation," Obama announced. "I've got a pen and I've got a phone…and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions."
.......
"I won"


I can faintly hear Sean Hannitys "Tic Toc Tic Toc"

You have no say, whatsoever, in the things I can and can't do. My energy is mine for spending, and I spend it how I please. This is a Nigerian thread opened to discuss American politics, not for Ijebos to come and gloat that he's made it to La La Land.

That aside, it's you who clumps all republicans and democrats into one box. Both sides are a spectrum, they are instances where values of both sides overlap. Some democrats also voted against raising the minimum wage. Some republicans voted for rising minimum wages.

Don't play semantics. You very well know the illegal immigration being talked about.

I'm not demo or repub, as I am not registered to either political party. However, one could say I hold liberal ideals, since, liberalism transcends country or race.

Whether the illegal immigration is legal or not, the point still remains the majority of voters (repubs, former demos, independent voters) all thought illegal immigration was a problem.
If your media houses weren't so beggy for attention and exploiting sensationalism to garner ratings, maybe we wouldn't have this problem.



Interesting choice of words. For someone who claims to expect people to act decently, you stink of classism, very much like the white supremacist that you're complaining about.

Eschew life in the US? What the fvck about life in the US?

The women on the streets hawking tomatoes, aren't making a difference?

"Oh, they sacrificed their lives in the U.S, to come and deliver us?"

But you and your narcissist Gang can never ever do such lailai. Elections are only free and fair when you people win

I've always hoped that Trump would get back to power and investigate the 2020 elections. The Hunters will become hunted in just about two months. Invest in popcorn stocks. The criminality of DOJ, fbi, Marc Elias etc will be exposed.

Trump election was stolen .

After sabotaging Kamala, donning a MAGA hat which he never returned, he promised peaceful transfer of power, he seemed happy to meet Trump.

Liberal women are stockpiling abortion pills and “morning after” pills and men are scheduling vasectomies at greater rates after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, left-leaning news outlets are reporting.

Despite Trump repeatedly stating that abortion laws should be left to individual states, Democrats — including failed presidential
candidate Kamala Harris — and pro-abortion organizations have claimed he will sign a national abortion restriction. Abortion also notably became a constitutional right in seven states this election cycle, after voters passed various ballot measures allow abortion

Resident idiot tunes to MSNBC as he works out every morning. News for you .....

JUST IN: MSNBC's parent company Comcast is now in the process of SELLING the alleged cable "news" network.

Ratings since Trump took office have been in a DOWNWARD SPIRAL at @MSNBC .

Never-Trumpers hardest hit:

• Morning Joe 1st hour - down 39.6% • Morning Joe 2d hour - down 36.9% • Andrea Mitchell - down 39.7% • Ari Melber - down 49.6% • Joy Reid’s Reidout - down 54.6% • All-in w Chris Hayes - down 47.2% • Alex Wagner Tonight- down 53.6% • Lawrence O’Donnell - down 60.6% • Stephanie Ruhle - down 67%

FEMA is dead
Why is it that the democrats like to divide the nation?
She was fired..Said they did that in the Carolinas. They was following protocols.



She is a black woman.
FEMA billion went to illegal alien support.
According to the internal correspondence, the FEMA workers were instructed to bypass these homes — at least 20 of them — as they surveyed the property damage brought by Hurricane Milton. This meant that those residents were not afforded the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. FEMA workers would enter into the government's logging system notes such as "Trump sign, no contact per leadership" and "Per leadership no stop Trump flag" to track addresses they did not visit, citing the directive.

Facilities including ability to work remotely on your excel sheets which don't require any thinking.
The cruise ship will dock at 425 ports across 140 countries.

Exactly. They wanted to abolish the electoral college because they thought that was the only way Trump could win. They never envisaged Trump winning the popular votes, especially not with the amount of work that CNN and the likes have put into intentionally misinforming and brainwashing people.



This is the biggest disgrace that the DEMONcrats have experienced in a very long time, and they brought this upon themselves. They have only themselves to blame. They should be really ashamed of themselves.


They're gonna suffer for a verrrrry lonnng time, because if JD Vance remains as likeable and composed as he currently is, I don't see anyone defeating him in 2028 if he decides to run for president, let alone if he picks Vivek or Tulsi as his Vice.

I have a theory regarding down ballot races. With regards to Kari lake Senate seat .
Trump campaign is silent Lefties are low IQ and they want to steal it. Irrespective Trump is getting sworn in. He is letting them commit fraud then he brings down the hammer on them. Kari Lake should get restored as the rightfully elected governor, Trump has the Senate numbers he needs for now.
Popcorn time..
There will be gnashing and wailing .His next term shall not be checkmated by FBI Russia Collusion nonsense..
Arizona.
Trump +180k,
House +128k
Kari -66k as of latest drip drip drop

Another opinion.
AZ STEAL STATUS: Ruben Gallego Lead Over Kari Lake Grows To 66,305. He now has 1,556,441 Votes. That's incredulous 154,611 MORE than Kamala's 1,401,830 votes. Kari Lake has 1,490,136 votes. That's 96,451 LESS than Trump's 1,586,587. Makes absolutely no sense. Ballots still to be counted: 270,239.

find me a race where that has happened ...

Islam holds Mohamed as the highest standard a person can achieve. Majority of Muslims think he is the most pious,the most righteous,most handsome man ever.
The Sunna of Mohamed. Muslims are exhorted to live a pious like like Mohamed did From dyeing their hair, eating habits,dressing etc.The Sunna is not laws Mohamed decreed with the help of Allah like doing the Hajj, praying , marrying maximum four wives. The Sunna is living day to day as Mohameds lived.
Most Muslims as I understand don't know that their prophet was an evil man who married a nine year old
Iran whose supreme law is the sharia are only following Islam by allowing their men to marry nine year olds
A Muslim from birth is only told the good deeds of his prophet. Actually everything he ever did was perfect to them. Accordingly he had a reason for everything, Allah his friend guided him... Whether he wanted to marry the divorced wife of his adopted son in law, Allah was there to justify. Muslims are taught that everything Allah decreed was good, from birth it's reinforced by their clerics till their last day. To muslims life is to be lived as Allah wishes . Mohamed was Allah's most perfect creation in every way.
Mohamed was engaged to Aisha when she was 6 but consummated the marriage when she got to 9 years. He was 54 years. 3 years of him patiently waiting for her to be able to accommodate his manhood. Very considerate of him.
All in all Iran is just following the Sunna of their prophet. Shariah does not set the age of marriage per se, It's the sunna that highly recommends the deeds of the prophet

Trump first term was sabotaged by Mitch McConnell. He refused to send Senate into recess unnecessarily delaying critical appointments.
Trump don't want to have that this time.
In his first term a lot of Republicans worked against him in private.
Chief among them Mike Pence who would have prevented Mike Flynn from being forced to resign. Obama warned Trump not to appoint Flynn, chiefly because Flynn as Nat Sec Advisor would have revealed arming of ISIS affiliated "moderate gangs" via Benghazi and Turkey.

@realDonaldTrump

Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!
