Obama leftist activism thought Libyans would hold nice elections after Gaddafi was ousted.
The downfall of Libya left the militias with lots of ammo and other military hardware.
Smuggled of course to terror groups in the north, Suuriya, Nigeria , Mali etc.

There.
As for ISIS Obama was training 'moderates' covertly in Jordan. They moved to Syria and some joined ISIS.
Shipments from Benghazi also found their way to ISIS through Turkey.



AbdulSleeky:
How?

Please tell me how Obama aided Boko Haram.

Your ignorant friend claimed that American guns travelled from North Africa to Nigerian borders. A lie that he cannot back up.

liberals and leftists who support Biden are being played.
They only see, hear or read from media what the elite want them. And that is Joe Biden good things and for Trump nothing good.
In other words Biden handlers know that liberals and leftists are beyond making their own decision.
Support of. a person who clearly has a problem .
Believe his lies that Trump is causing violence
Ignore his son's documented corruption
Ignore his groping and sniff sniff of young gals
Is not letting media question him
Hiding in a basement

Biden supporters cannot see the massive coordinated attacks against Trump by corrupt elite.

Biden supporters are being taken for fools, His handlers must be laughing behind the scenes at them.

That someone could make this foolish statement and 4 other people could like the statement shows how dumb black republicans/conservatives are.

Context.

1. The important fact is that the economy recovered under obama and it was Bush's reign that saw the collapse of the American economy

2. Obama had one of the longest recessions since the 70s

3. Modern day inflation and many other macro-economic factors.

To argue that Obama had the worst recession recovery is to argue blindly over something meaningless. Just consider points 2 and 3, then see how it makes sense that Obama's recovery took longer.
Which president had a more poor recession recovery than Obama

Meanwhile Biden was pushing for a sit down debate this year

Bernie vs. Joe: standing or sitting? The
Democratic primary is now a race
between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders
and one of the first big one-on-one
arguments between their campaigns
is about whether to stand up or sit
down. The next candidate debate will
take place in Arizona on March 15,
and Team Sanders accused Biden of
wanting to depart from the usual
practice of standing at a lectern to
make it a sit-down debate instead.

Fredo was the guy who aired the taped conversation between Trump and Cohen his lawyer. Cuomo did not air the whole tape however cutting off at a point where Trump seemed to be explaining something.

Now Cuomo and Cohen tape! and about intimate matters .Cuomo was gloating over the Trump Cohen tape hoping obviously that it would take down Trump.

Trump is calling for Fredo to be fired.

Pretty sure Hollywood don't hide behind religious hypocrisy to show they are perverts.

Unlike the so called pastors and conservatives who go about preaching family and good value like they are better than everyone else only to turn around and be worse pervert.
So you have a problem with people who preach water and drink wine. Especially religious people .
That should include the Ayatollahs who demand a weekly chant of death to america and murder innocent civilians all over the world.Very good friends with John Kerry and by extension Obama.
Unlike this pastor who failed to hide his indiscretions

Trump is injecting racial fear? My goodness.
It must have been Trump that send those rioters to start burning down and destroying black own businesses in democrats run states.

Not only that , Trump was the one that called for defunding the police.
Trump was also the one running democrat run cities with a black democrat mayor and democrat Governor, with a black police chief whose cops killed George Floyd.
Trump is even to blame for the latest hurricane that just swept across Louisiana.

Let's see what else are we not blaming Trump for .....

Aha Trump is to blame for this chicken pox that has crept into my dog..
Heck Trump is to blame for that glaring miss by Raheem Sterling in the champions League.


I thought you guys said as long there is no peace in your lives there should be no peace in the streets.
You are here typing all these because the polls are slipping away from you, not because of the pain and suffering your riots has caused.
Trump won. They hate him because he won. He is responsible for making them hate him.

Donald Trump appeared on Fox News on Monday night to claim that 'a plane full of thugs' boarded a flight intent on causing chaos at the Republican National Convention.

The president spoke to Laura Ingraham for an interview on Monday which, at times, even made her raise her eyebrows.

Trump said that someone was on a flight to Washington DC, ahead of his Thursday speech, and saw the crowd of 'thugs'.

'This person was coming to the Republican National Convention and there were like seven people in the plane [with] this person, and then a lot of people were on the plane to do big damage,' Trump insisted.

'This is all happening.'

Trump said that his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, was having his 'strings' pulled by 'people in the dark shadows, people you have never heard of.'

Ingraham replied: 'What does that mean? That sounds like conspiracy theory.'

He replies: 'We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city, this weekend.

'And in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.

'They're on a plane.'

When asked for details, he replied: 'I'll tell you some time. It's under investigation right now.'

The president said 'very stupid rich people' were fomenting violence.

'The money is coming from some very stupid rich people [who] have no idea that if their thing ever succeeded, which it won't, they will be thrown to the wolves like you've never seen before,' he said.

His reference to 'this weekend' was perplexing, given the RNC finished on Thursday .

"As well", you forgot to add, while disregarding or hoping we would not notice the fact that the "ALONE" implies joint responsibility and they might have not died of "HEART ATTACKS, FLU AND OTHER CAUSE" if covid19 had not excerbated the underlying conditions that contributed to their dying.

Do you know 6.03M people have caught coronavirus in USA and more than 6M of them did not die?
It makes more sense to determine if the number of deaths this year is more than last year for the same period.
It is not. I posted Earlier that total number of deaths this year was 51k weekly while last years was also around 51k. Same case 51-52k weekly deaths over the last 20 years.

So yes every year around 51k die weekly on average over the last 20 years.

No change in the average count because of the Wuhan virus.

Congress did it. Before Trump came, Obama was the president with the highest amount of funding for HBCUs. Obama set the trend.

Secondly, Trump is cutting a billion plus from from Pell Grants. Guess who need Pell grants the most? African-Americans. So, for all the millions that he is giving HBCUs, he is cutting billions that will affect African Americans.
Go on...

1. Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Numerous news sites have debunked Trump's claims that he saved HBCUs. First, the struggle to get the HBCUs millions in federal funding was done by the congress. It took a lot of bipartisan negotiations in congress that started long before Trump entered office. All Trump had to do was sign it. TRUMP DID NOT SAVE HBCUs. My thanks go to the democrats who have continuously fought for more funding for HBCUs.

Not to mention Trump's Education secretary made tone-deaf comments on HBCUs by claiming that they were pioneers for choice, when HBCUs were created during segregation.


2. Steve Harvey is an Uncle Tom. Go and look up how he wanted to shaft his fellow black actors because of money. Opportunity zones are thing that happened long before Trump's administration.


If Trump started these policies that helped blacks at the beginning of his tenure, no one would call him a racist. All these things came towards the end of 2018- he just took popular policies that were existing so that he can have a defense against accusations of racism. This is why I say that he is not a typical racist. He uses blacks to his advantage when he needs them.
At pains to water down everything Trump has done.

You are saying he doesnt care about anyone not useful to him. Even if you are white, black brown, as soon as he sees that you are about to hurt his re election or his enormous Ego, he will throw you under the bus.
Which in my opinion its very dangerous to leave such person in the white house for 4 more years.


My own opinion is that trump is very racist, although, he may not have shown that he is garbage eating, Confederate flag waving pig or christian kkk but he supports and encourages their actions, he emboldens them, he gave them voice. Which is even worse.

There is adage in Yoruba that says, the person that helps a thief to keep his loot is also a thief. And even he is even worse than a thief self.

A racist, encouraging and supporting racist is just as racist and even worse than racist Especially if the racist is the most powerful president in the world with that much followership..
By your definition the white man ( Trump) is racist because he hates other races especially the black race.


Is a black person who hates the whites racist?

I wish people can read the details of Russian activities in election interference and causing social divisions outlined in the Mueller Report, instead of concentrating only on "collusion". It gave some important information that a serious government can use to block those loopholes and threaten Russia with consequences if it persists, but we know the Trump administration can never oppose Putin.
Here are some important details;


More report of Russian Agents promoting divisions here;
Hey wait a minute. Mueller indicted a Russian company that he thought would never challenge the indictment.
At the time of the election this company had not even been registered!!!
On declaration Mueller produced from Facebook postings in guess what langauge? Russian. He did not even translate them Begging. Which American ever read the postings..
Furthermore Facebook said Russia paid 100k foe their adverts. Compare to Hillary who spent 1B.

Where is America now. This was read into congress for the record

Communist
Goals (1963) Congressional Record–
Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10,
1963Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A.
S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


[From “The Naked Communist,” by
Cleon Skousen)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as
the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in
preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total
disarmament [by] the United States
would be a demonstration of moral
strength.
4. Permit free trade between all
nations regardless of Communist
affiliation and regardless of whether or
not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to
Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations
regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China.
Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as
separate states in spite of
Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle
the German question by free elections
under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban
atomic tests because the United States
has agreed to suspend tests as long
as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual
representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope
for mankind. If its charter is rewritten,
demand that it be set up as a one-
world government with its own
independent armed forces. (Some
Communist leaders believe the world
can be taken over as easily by the U.N.
as by Moscow. Sometimes these two
centers compete with each other as
they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the
Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to
the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political
parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the
courts to weaken basic American
institutions by claiming their activities
violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use
them as transmission belts for
socialism and current Communist
propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get
control of teachers’ associations. Put
the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student
newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public
protests against programs or
organizations which are under
Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of
book-review assignments, editorial
writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in
radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American
culture by degrading all forms of
artistic expression. An American
Communist cell was told to “eliminate
all good sculpture from parks and
buildings, substitute shapeless,
awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of
art museums. “Our plan is to promote
ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing
obscenity by calling them “censorship”
and a violation of free speech and free
press.
25. Break down cultural standards of
morality by promoting pornography and
obscenity in books, magazines, motion
pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy
and promiscuity as “normal, natural,
healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace
revealed religion with “social” religion.
Discredit the Bible and emphasize the
need for intellectual maturity, which
does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of
religious expression in the schools on
the ground that it violates the principle
of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution
by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned,
out of step with modern needs, a
hindrance to cooperation between
nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding
Fathers. Present them as selfish
aristocrats who had no concern for the
“common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American
culture and discourage the teaching of
American history on the ground that it
was only a minor part of the “big
picture.” Give more emphasis to
Russian history since the Communists
took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to
give centralized control over any part
of the culture–education, social
agencies, welfare programs, mental
health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures
which interfere with the operation of
the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on
Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle
the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more
unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big
business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of
arrest from the police to social
agencies. Treat all behavioral problems
as psychiatric disorders which no one
but psychiatrists can understand [or
treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric
profession and use mental health laws
as a means of gaining coercive control
over those who oppose Communist
goals.
40. Discredit the family as an
institution. Encourage promiscuity and
easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise
children away from the negative
influence of parents. Attribute
prejudices, mental blocks and
retarding of children to suppressive
influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence
and insurrection are legitimate aspects
of the American tradition; that students
and special-interest groups should rise
up and use [“]united force[“] to solve
economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments
before native populations are ready for
self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so
the United States cannot prevent the
World Court from seizing jurisdiction
[over domestic problems. Give the ex
World Court jurisdiction] over nations
and individuals alike.
