What a profoundly stupid comment to make to say fema was not working. All the people who’ve had disasters in the recent years fixed it all themselves. Maximal ignorance
Trump says it's better states are empowered. FEMA in a disaster comes in with people who have no knowledge of the area and create ground rules ( eg ignore houses with Trump signs). Most work ends up getting done by locals eventually.
$1B of FEMA federal funds also got diverted to illegal immigrants .

Anyway Trump is the wiser one here, I only know one side of this argument. Maybe you have better one on their behalf.

I didn't include it because you dismissed sceptics of zoonotic origin then.
CIA director wants to know what CIA knows about COVID origin.
My intention is to remind you that new details you called baseless as told by the media Might be revealed any time within 4 years. In your wisdom you believed Fauci .

Because it's not only about money but access.

So, even if I was sleeping in my boys guest room helping him fill out Ivy League Forms with his kids, I'd still be hanging with one of the brightest financial minds in Lagos. And with that a plethora of information about business investments and contacts with all the Lagos players who come to his house just to chill, drink and chat.

But, that most likely goes over your head.

Please stop lying!

I have been calling you a stupid ignorant liar, along with bad conspiracist, about everything you post here.

For your information, it is likely Corona Virus did start in Wuhan, though it could also have started in USA or at least been allowed to spread so much there by dump. But I'd in fact be rather surprised if China (or somewhere) do not introduce another virus into America in the next 4 years to teach dump lessons.

As for your claims, what's new?

Budaatum. You have been calling me a conspiracist about COVID .
Can you imagine the new CIA director doesn't believe the story about how the Rona got to humans.
Fauci and the media have lied but CIA definitely knows the truth but most likely suppressed it.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Ratcliffe told Breitbart News in his first interview after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Thursday that he intends to immediately get to the bottom of what the Agency knows about COVID leaking from a Wuhan lab in China.


I always said I will have the last laugh.

What a dolt.

When aides told the rapist fascist trump that some of his supporters were weapons on the capitol grounds on January 6th, he said "the weapons were not meant for him".

You stupid deranged maga cultists don't think far and wide. You think we are as dumb as you. Have some self reflection you fool.
You would not carry any weapon if you are going to a protest knowing that anifa /BLM will be there. Because you support them.
Antifa/BLM have broken up protests violently before, several were indicted including one professor who hit someone with a bicycle lock. https://www.berkeleyside.org/2018/08/08/eric-clanton-takes-3-year-probation-deal-in-berkeley-rally-bike-lock-assault-case

J6 , many would have carried light weapons to defend themselves from your favourite antifa BLM gangs. No guns at all.

Two people can have a different way of achieving something. Project2025 was a compilation by Heritage Foundation, some of them were former Trump staffers.
We been through this. What's on Trump campaign website.
Project2025 obviously has many ideas that mirror Trump's, away from the devastating Joe Biden policies. It's not the same thing and instead of focusing on what Trump is doing , we are being treated to negative reporting 24/7. A good analogy of having same ideas but totally different personalities.
You may agree with Ijebos on everything but I won't call you the resident idiot

Nah, they are definitionaly fascists, not Nazis.
It's a pedantic distinction, but I'd rather be precise in my critic of them.

You kinda have to ideologically subscribe to fascism knowingly or unknowingly at this point to still be MAGA.

Nazism comes with the belief of inherent superiority and inferiority of certain races with the Aryan race being the Ubermench. The inherent belief that Jews & other "degenerate demographics" are the cause of world problems.

I doubt they think of themselves as inferior to the whiteman, nor hate Jews on an ideological level, although they do express a hatred of "degenerates" tho. But they've yet to express the rest to those beliefs, to be Nazis.
As per status quo, Trump has the mandate to govern as he promised.
He should be made a benevolent Dictator so that pesky judges don't derail his policies.4 years be good for that kind act. History teaches that power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely . Americans in their wisdom should not make him a lifetime dictator. At worst they can add him one more term to compensate for the stolen 2020 election.

Some of his achievements in 3 days.

Trump should be sued. He didn't win 2020. Russians, Ukrainian s, Israeli and Hamas,etc would not have died in the ongoing wars.
A big achievement. Now one can publicly say there are only two genders without the threat of being crucified by liberals and their media lapdogs. Have not heard of any lawsuit about genders , maybe because gender transitions only have two states, male or female. smiley

The issue of birthright citizenship has never been settled. Pro and anti have their arguments based on constitutional interpretation. It's never been dealt substantively, Trump has taken the initiative to have the matter resolved once and for all.

My take. Immigrants are good . Criminal immigrants are not. There are those who want immigrants for their skills, to correct housing demand, for lower labour costs, to boost college enrollments, etc. Then there are democrats who go all out for immigrants crimnials or not for political purposes. Or maybe the democrats want social unrest and chaos one day into the future

Trump has designated cartels like MS-13 and Mexican gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.
Means he can go into say Mexico and bomb the shit out of them IDF style.He can also burn down cocaine plantations in Colombia.

Trump usually has ingenious ways to solve problems others failed.

At this moment Trump should be made Dictator like Ceaser for 4 years. Judges who block his orders should be sent to the den of lions. smiley smiley smiley

Trump is striking while the iron is hot. He has also told off WEF Klaus Schwab outfit that censorship has no place.

Anyone can read this and ask themselves if it makes sense.

You spent 160k cash to buy a car, instead of taking that money and just putting it in an interest bearing savings account and getting some interest off of it while paying off that 0% loan monthly?

Does that make sense even to you?
Confirms you are a broke arse.
A better question would have been , why spend $160K on a car instead of giving it out to charity?

Liz Cheney and her Committee spread lies that Trump never offered themm10000 troops . In Trump own words

«But Nancy said it was my responsibility as she was leaving the Capitol. She said it was, and it was. She is in charge of security at the Capitol. But I offered them, up to 10,000 troops, even more. At one point, I said more, as many as they needed, but they only needed 400 or 500. If you have 400 or 500, 10,000 would be far more than the number of people there. But we offered 10,000.

Think about that—10,000 troops. In other words, January 6 wouldn't have been January 6. There wouldn't have been a January 6, but she turned them down. She didn't like it. No, she didn't like it. Maybe she wanted that to happen. But she is guilty, and now we have to go through the process because they destroyed all the evidence. They erased everything. Practically nothing remains.»


Liz Cheney was criminally referred to DOJ for conspiring with a witness .
Joe Biden has pardoned her.
Nancy Pelosi was not pardoned . She didn't wantb10000 troops because there was already an entrapment plan??

The truth of J6 will be out , hopefully soon

Well that’s what people wanted. According to the right wing, nothing that was being encouraged to help stall the spread of COVID was good. It’s was all a plot by democrats to get them.

when you tell them to mask up and social distance, they say it’s a plot to destroy their businesses. Well now they can mingle freely and get sick as they wish. I don’t see the issue. Some were going as far as attacking anyone wearing a mask. Making up propaganda about vaccines. The whole politicizing of the pandemic made it that nothing common sense was easy to achieve.

Is fauci the face of Pharma Dollar because he encouraged vaccines? Something that was literally in his job description?
All the years he served America he wasn’t the face of big pharma. Not until Trump came into power and got his feelings hurt because he was encouraging people to inject bleach and fauci said that was stupid.

Can’t do this conversation without talking about Trump. He’s not the first president who had a disease outbreak in his presidency. He was the only one who turned it into a circus with conspiracy theories and anti science mumbo jumbo. Can’t remove his name from the conversation. He’s literally the cause of the whole mess.
Fauci funded gain of function research starting from early 2000s .in 2014 Obama blocked funding gain of function research . Fauci friend Dr Daszak setup lab in Wuhan and received funding from Fauci When the virus started spreading Fauci said it was zoonotic, the FBI belatedly said they can't rule out if it was a bio engineered virus .
An investigation is needed as to the origins and whether Fauci was the brainchild. Joe Biden couldn't do that , big pharma benefited from selling the vax that could not stop one from the infection.
We have 4 years to get to the bottom of the matter , Many don't want because they made it a Trump issue.

Would you not want to know the truth?

so in port harcourt oil workers do two weeks on two weeks off when they are working on rigs
as a safety matter - you cannot leave your crib unattended for two weeks

so they usually have one broke friend or lazy relative staying in their crib while they are in the field

to pick up chicks, the squatter pretends to be an oil worker. he pretends to be the owner of the place. he lays claim to his house mates possessions. he is 'in the field' and unavailable when the housemate is back home .This scam cannot really work on educated working chicks with proper jobs - but it works well on university babes or the poorly educated

all the rubbish the silly boy writes is basically him bringing those lies to the internet

if you are telling someone who has never worked in a corporate environment that you got an entry level job and were given an 80k car, the person will swallow it

you tell an uneducated chick you had then highest jamb score, she will also swallow it

What has the Biden Mayorkas DHS been doing , in two days over 300 violent illegal aliens have been arrested

Donald Trump’s new border czar got right down to business, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already arrested more than 300 serious illegal alien criminals, including murderers and rapists

Someone explain why these criminal aliens have been
(a}allowed in
(b)not arrested after they commited crimes
ICE didn't discover them this week,they knew all along but we're hamstrung.

In 3 days Trump by executive order has done what Biden said required a bipartisan bill.
I'm yet to understand if the importance of allowing everyone to just come in illegally is to promote diversity or just screw up the population composition.
