Alex Jones . You can't get him off a microphone. He did wrong but $1.5B is excessive. Boeing fines were only $300 million for far worse than making travellers feel unsafe.

Trump is on a roll. His other top 3 nominees to DOJ are his attorneys at those new York trials

Gaza September 2023 and Gaza November 2024.

Was your al-Aqsa flood and October 7th worth it?
Palestinians don't care whether Gaza is destroyed.
The west will rebuild everything as they continue feeding them.
The west will pressure Israel to provide them with water ,and electricity .
With Trump , that place might go back to stone age especially now that he can tell the IDF to complete the job and avenge for the American citizens still held by Hamas. Think if it Hamaas asking for America aid whole holding Americans as hostages. Shameless fools , there's a new sheriff in town
Hegseth has posted on X about leaving IDF to finish off the Iranian bomb threats.

Would you have ever extended that level of charitability to him if he wasn't an appointed Trump loyalist?
Search any reference I have made here about him.
I have always been supportive of his actions including in the witch-hunt by DOJ /FBI from day one
That's what those corrupt guys of DOJ and FBI do. When they see a threat to their corruption, they launch investigation to smear and destroy.

Trying to distinguish between White Supremacists, is just being pedantic.

They're ideologically not that far apart, Putin is a fascist that has employed Nazi "blood and soil" & "anti-degeneracy" rhetoric as some of the justification for the Ukraine invasion. The Russian government is far-right, nationalist.
The Ideological positions missing are a narrative of racial superiority and antisemitism, to be Nazis.

If you're talking about the general population of Russia, they're just conservative that can sometimes be racists/bigots like Nigerians.

The Japanese and Koreans are not far-right. Just Xenophobic in terms of immigration
How different is a far right European from a conservative Japanese?

This post.
What makes this post more hilarious is that a guy who signs off his his account as "-Lord" (clear sign of mental illness and insecurity), who thinks he lives in the US, who was bragging that that his pockets swelled from a Bitcoin increase (let's be nice and say maybe it did increase by like 100k Naira), believes that by spending an hour penning a post on Nairaland, makes you not the little shit you are.

The guy who does not live in the US says get the Fuk out of the US, Lol.
Bitch, can you even enter?
I can leave the US and Return anytime I want, you'll never get in. Cry harder, Pretend more.
My man wants so bad to be a White Supremacist. Wants so bad to discriminate, but you can't.
Your lineage was defective and didn't afford you that ability.
If my vote is inconsequential in the US, how consequential is a slowpoke like you squealing from Nigeria?

My man said others are talking about the market rally.
Do you own stock in this market rally? Lol. Da Fuq.
Yeah, I would talk about it too but I don't generally talk about money here.
If I said I cleared $75k, (not Naira), in the market swing, how'd people like you feel who don't make 75k Naira a month?
You have 0 idea of the shit I don't talk about. I'll land in Naij this Xmas and my boy and I will probably clear $30k US if not more, on food, drink and generalized bullshit, celebrating his promotion, while you're running your mouth about petty gains in Bitcoin.
Sit down and sharrup.

My man said he's a gracious victor.
What the fux did you win? Enough bitcoin to buy IndoMie?
How many ways must I say this, you ain't a part of this.

My scalp is yours?
What space am I in would you even be able to enter to get that scalp? Lol.

You've called yourself Lord so many times you've actually concocted and believe a whole story about yourself that you matter more than the little shit you are.
Fuking Mental Illness.
Fuking Hilariously Mentally Ill.

Why would you expect anyone not on your side to complain about them? I don't hear you critizing Trump's appointment of an alleged pedo and Russian asset now.
I don't really care how someone dresses or their self id.

Also are you willing to compare the credentials of these folk, against the trump's appointments?
Nonsense about the pedo. Some crook wanted to blackmail his dad $25 million. DOJ investigated fake claims and found nothing to charge him.
The Democrat led House Ethics committee started investigating him before DOJ finished .
That was from 2021. Gaetz had been vocal against the system,doing interviews . FBI DOJ aim was to silence him.
He has been targeted by the FBI and DOJ. He will call the shots , let him expose these crooks that I have been mentioning. Lisa Monaco, Jay Bratt, Mary McCord etc.

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 Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! 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?"

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 was elected by those who didn't go to college and are thus uneducated.
Meanwhile the educated ......
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%

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.
