Dinesh D'Souza @ DineshDSouza 20h Too bad Kamala Harris neglected last night to acknowledge the 200+ slaves owned by her Jamaican ancestor, Hamilton Brown. She should at least have said, “They helped me get where I am today” pic.twitter.com/dgfgfYkOLp View photo ·

2016 is not 2020.

I won't deny the fact that Tramp can win but then again Biden is a strong contender and can still win who needs to campaign heavily in battleground states


November will be a blue wave
Blue wave.

Is the sky blue wherever you are?

As expected, trump denied involvement in we build the wall..

Next is media campaign with his stupid minions about how liberals are persecuting bannon.

Next, is presidential pardon or commute his sentencing.


So predictable.
That was over a month ago. In anycase Bannon had been fired so they were not on good terms.

Come to think of it.
Trampy Trump did not win by the people's votes the electoral college put him there.

I hope Biden garners more states to get the electoral college votes.
I hope what happened in 2016 cannot happen again

Tramp cannot be two times lucky.

@sonoflincoln,hope the democrats in the USA are aware of the electoral college
A game of tennis can go 6-0, 6-7 and 6-7. The winner scored a total of 14 points while the loser scored 18 points. The rules of the game are that whoever wins 2 out 3 sets is the winner, the loser has no grounds to claim the win.

Counties .According to AP news
AP’S ASSESSMENT:. Trump won
2,626 counties while Clinton took 487
of them nationwide.

States
Trump won 30 states vs Clinton 20 States.

America elections were set to be decided by weighting the population and geographical size ie the Electoral college.
democrats want popular vote such that 4 or 5 states where they dominate will always decide the winner.

Sketch of Steve Bannon appearing handcuffed in court in Manhattan today.
He is still scheduled to speak Tuesday night at RNC.
While trying to muddy the waters, Bannon remember had been fired by Trump from his WHouse perch for apparently leaking about Ivana. and her hubby in their little tug of war over influence. Bannon has been on Trump train though.

Back to the wall. Here are Trump comments early July.


I disagreed with doing this
very small (tiny) section of
wall, in a tricky area, by a
private group which raised
money by ads. It was only
done to make me look bad,
and perhsps it now doesn’t
even work. Should have
been built like rest of Wall,
500 plus miles. https:///

Their indictment stems from saying they would use 100% of the proceeds doing the wall. Trump was not for it.
If DA investigated Clinton Foundation what Bannon did is cheap ,really amateur stuff.

The me digital Democratic National
Convention kicked off this week with a
pre-recorded video of “America’s most
impactful community leaders” reading
the preamble to America’s Constitution.
The various participants, mostly
Democratic politicians and party activists,
might be alarmed to learn that their
segment featured Donna Hylton , a 55-
year-old Jamaican woman convicted for
the kidnapping, rape, torture, and
murder of a 62-year-old Long Island real
estate broker in 1986
Before receiving accolades for her work
as an “impactful community leader,”
Donna Hylton and her gang of prostitutes
had drugged real estate broker Thomas
Vigliarolo, brought him to their Harlem
apartment, and subjected him to a three
week torture session which included
starvation, beatings, burnings, and
various forms of sexual torture leading to
a gruesome murder. Hylton had raped
Vigliarolo with a three-foot metal rod,
later laughing it off, quipping “he was a
homo anyway.” Hylton had demanded
ransom from the victim’s friend, planning
on spending her cut on professional
photos to launch a career in modeling .
She was paroled in 2012, having served
26 years in prison.

These are the partiipants who excited some people a lot here, including a one former President Obama who said that Trump sent in the Navy Seals to quell Portland riots. Not forgetting Kamala Harris who too who said that Joe Biden accuser Tara Read should be believed because of the #metoo movement.
They Obama and Kamala were unfortunately not able to share the stage (due to Wuhan virus )with that exconvict who pulled the test. icles of her victim with pliers .

Presidential pardon.

Donald crook trump.
Kevin Clinesmith, a top FBI lawyer pled guilty yesterday to falsifying a doc to a court in order to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign.

The FBI had submitted to the court a warrant to spy on Carter Page ,a Trump campaign
advisor. FBI accused him of knowingly working as a Russian agent. What the FBI did not tell the court was that Page had served as a CIA and FBI informant and had helped them catch some real Russian spies only a few years earlier.

What she did not say was that her husband built those cages . And used them.

What I noticed about leftists , nutjobs and Democrats is the way they all sync their lies.
They have an inhouse echo chamber creator that dishes out t talking points like on mailboxes, Postal Service, peaceful BLM protesters, systemic racism, immigrant children in cages, family separation, hands up dont shoot, russia collusion, etc

I can quickly make a 30min speech by expounding on several of the talking points and sound like I have been making democrats speeches for long.

The supposed sabotage of the USPS is only going to expose his treasonous actions further and is going to backfire on him. Why the sudden knee-jerk reactions about the USPS in an election year.
Wjy implement full mailin 90 days to an election in states that did not have it?

Why not have polling booths like in Walmart where people line up as per the scientists.

I guess playing golf is a perfect of way of respecting him then.

We should respect the death of person that his own brother didn't even care enough about.


If trump was playing golf when his own brother was dying, unknown Americans are definitely on their own.
That's why over 160k people are dead and the mad unhinged maniac is still busy playing politics with it.

By the way, how is speculating how someone died disprecting him. If they don't want people to speculate, they should have released cause of death.
You know better than us that he never cared about.

Go and tell that to trump that was busy golfing while his brother was dying.

Anyone who read this crap would actually think these people respect the dead.
Would have been better if Trump was by his bedside . Like it was known when he would take his last breathe and never leave the hospital alive. SMH.
. And hospitals are allowing visitors to the bedridden.

Trump's brother, Robert dies from an undisclosed illness...

It's being rumored he died of Covid, which is why it's being kept hush hush. If he had died of any other disease, we would already know.

Trump probably had him drinking Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc..

R.I.P to the dead man
Respect the departed. Whether the TV told you to hate Dont gloat in matters bereavement
Pray for the bereaved instead of mocking them.

There is an article that shows the number of deaths in the first 6 months of the year is almost the same as of 2019.

Taken per week the number of total deaths is the same as of the last 20 years.

Looks like all deaths are reported as corona

Former AG of the state of California, she showed Barr pepper during his confirmation. I would have preferred her in the position of Attorney General.

Waiting for Trump and his minions to unleash their verbal vitriol on Kamala.
till, her home state’s high rate of
incarcerating people of color goes a long
way in explaining the trouble she has had
selling her candidacy to black voters
nationwide. In California and many other
states, racial disparities in imprisonment
have intensified resentments of what
many see as deeply ingrained
discrimination in America’s criminal
justice system.
“Communities of color, they have a hard
time trusting you when you are connected
with law enforcement,” said Yvette
McDowell, a black attorney and former
Pasadena prosecutor who is undecided in

Not much in my State of Illinois because we are Dark Blue State but Indiana which is 45 minutes from my House and Wisconsin which is about an Hour from my crib and Michigan which is less than 3 miles from Chicago are always going through door by door campaigning. The campaign in Nairaland is nothing because 98% of Nairalanders can't vote in an American election.

I do not mean to demean you when I say you don't know nothing about America. I am on the ground and very political active even more so than Obama's time because of the dangerously despotic wannabe Trump we have in office now. I can safely assure you that Trump himself and his inner circle know that the Stars and Galaxies and Americans are lined up against him. Meanwhile, expect more lunacy from the bottom dwelling Trump till election eve.
Joe Biden has the media campaigning for him.Maybe even here in Nairaland.

.The Trump’s campaign knocked on
over one million doors in the past
week, as per Politico, while Biden’s
campaign didn’t send a single
volunteer at voters’ home. The
latter, Politico says, are relying on
phone calls, texts, and virtual meet-
ups with voters, which the experts
say is part of a strategy that voters
will give Biden credit for taking a
more cautious approach to the
pandemic than Trump.
