budaatum: As I said, the underprivileged. I'm certain Mamdani is not proposing to feed the children of those who can afford to feed their own children. And New York policies will not be for the entire USA, I doubt.
My niece came to London from Manchester for Christmas, and was surprised their London nephews just got on the buses without paying. She said she'd do the same when she went back to Manchester, but I had to let her know London has a free transport policy for certain ages which Manchester seems to lack. Her mother told me a bus driver refused to let a primary school girl travel because she had no money. We'd burn the bus company if they do the same in London.
This is true for every nation in the world. It has nothing to with socialism. Manchester and London just have different age range.
budaatum: I do not ever feel like responding to you when you lie or try to shove right wing rhetoric down my throat.
Did Mamdani tell you he'd send social workers to go socialise murderers and paedophiles and felon dump, even after you full well know he has no such powers as mayor?
Mamdani having a few social policies does not mean he'd socialise New York. Besides, I can't see why he wouldn't be an improvement on Adams or Cuomo, who seem to have socialised into their own pockets, or Silwa who did what that Jussie Smollett once did.
Your mischaracterization of cococandy is taken the same way as when you mischaracterize buda. Note.
Leave cococandy out of this 🤣
In the BLM protests, , Mamdani expressed strong criticism of the NYPD. He said: “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD.”
In another post he saud: “queer liberation means defund the police,”
He also advocated for reducing the NYPD budget by $1 billion and redirecting funds to address social issues like mental health and homelessness, arguing that police were being tasked with roles they were not equipped to handle.
Of course, person wey dey run for election will try to look moderate. Kamala harris did the same.
budaatum: I agree. Especially if he is socialist and governmentises private ventures. But what powers exactly is he going to use to do that?
What Mamdani is proposing is no different to school meals for the underprivileged. He can not uncapitalise capitalist New York even if he wanted to, since he'd need capital to provide school meals.
But I might be wrong. Do let me know when he abolishes mortgages and provides free housing, then I'll agree he's as socialist as is claimed.
Incidentally, no one will accuse Nigeria of being socialist. Many would even claim government does not own the majority of businesses. But free education, and subsidized fuel and electricity, and labor subsidy (Youth Corps) are socialist policies, and government officials own the largest companies. Like most so called socialist nations, we are a mix.
You just can't leave the poor and unprivileged to their own survival or their dead bodies will stink up your capitalism and make it unprofitable. And you can't have no social government intervention, or no one will monitor what's in the food capitalists sell you. A mix of both socialist and capitalist policies are necessary for a countries progress, or you'd have slaves.
Cococandy is a socialist but she does not have the power to enforce a socialist utopia does not mean she is not a socialist.
There is a state Governor, city council and state laws, then there is a mayor. He does not have the unilateral power to do most of what he is saying.
He wants to abolish the police and replace them with social workers etc.
Nigeria is not a socialist country. Have one or two subsidies here and there does not make a country a socialist country.
budaatum: I feel you. You'd hate school meals for the underprivileged too, and wouldn't mind them starving. Hopefully, New Yorkers won't unreason like you do.
Do let Amazontopaz know that UK that is not socialist has most of the same policies as Mamdani is proposing, and the lights stay on. While USA that is not socialist is curtailing civil liberties, though not where guns are concerned.
[quote author=raumdeuter post=135922840]The week for Donald Trump
6 straight minutes of @CNN admitting that right now, President Trump is winning and Democrats are in big, big trouble. A segment like this would have been totally unthinkable in 2016-2020. pic.twitter.com/kysbLjTwNU
basilico: They lost all their nuclear plants, 30 Generals, 17 nuclear scientists . The IDF operated hundreds of planes over their airspace , not a single plane was lost. They bombed the igrc and Basij headquarters. But Iran defeated Israel because their rather precise ballistics missiles that escaped Israel air defences What a victory.
ObaIgwe1: I am not interested in going back and forth with you. I have better things to do. Whatever you understand by my post is fine by me and whatever you believe contrary is your problem.
No need to go back and forth. Just answer the questions.
ObaIgwe1: You are the one that slow...typical of MAGA.
I didn't condemn Trump's intervention. I only praised the lady for saying the right thing to a praise-loving and egomaniac person like Trump. and I wrote "If I get a chance to get the racist Trump do something for Africa, I will also have to say all that and even more". This is to denounce every attempt by raumdeuter and others like you to make it look like Trump did what he did for the love he has blacks.
Let me help you analyze your comment, as you seem to misunderstand what you are typing here.
ObaIgwe1: lol... That lady is smart. She knows Trump's mumu-button Just praise him a bit, tell him everyone loves him, tell him he is better than Biden and he is most qualified for Nobel Peace Prize and Trump will do your wishes even though he hates your face and gut.
You're saying this because you believe she wants to use Trump. However, they were there signing a peace deal. So, how could she be deceptively trying to make him do her bidding if it’s already completed?
ObaIgwe1: Imagine Trump wishing all the journalists covering him are like the lady, who will only praise him and say beautiful things to him
Your problem is that she is praising him? why wouldn't he wish for people who will treat him nicely? she is not calling him Nazi or lying about him by taking his words out of context as journalist do to him all the time both in the US, UK, and many western nations.
ObaIgwe1: The lady is a loyal Congolese and she knows just what to say to get Trump dance to Congo wishes and end the war in Congo.
If I get a chance to get the racist Trump do something for Africa, I will also have to say all that and even more.
If Trump is this gullible, don't you think the Ukrainian president would have done that?
So, explain to US how she is saying all that for Trump to do what has already been done?
basilico: Bemeruca Raumdeuter Justice Kagan dissented in SCOTUS decision on district judges and national injunctions. In 2022 when Joe Biden was president she said.
“It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years that it takes to go through the normal process.” She also commented on the practice of "forum shopping," stating: “You look at something like that and you think, that can’t be right. In the Trump years, people used to go to the Northern District of California, and in the Biden years, they go to Texas.”
Translation. Some of Her decisions are based on political partisanship first then looking for relevant laws for justification.
this point should be used to counter any arguments about the overreach of district courts. They can serve as a tool to undermine presidential authority.
I don't understand why anyone would have issues with this.
ObaIgwe1: Bidden was not invited and offered a deal that Trump was offered by the Congolese president. Biden couldn't also have interfered at the time cos SA was invited during Biden's time to broker peace and offer help by the Congolese president, it was only recently that SA ran out of Congo after accusing Rwanda of killing her soldiers.
But the bs is not in the deal Trump is trying to cut in Congo, and I have no problem with him brokering peace in Congo at any cost, the bs is not even about the lady praising Trump for brokering peace, I told you if I were in her shoes I will do more for the peace of my people. But the bs is in you slapping it in our faces that trump is not racist because of that.
You're being disingenuous. This is what you said earlier, but that's not what Raumdeuter's post is about.
ObaIgwe1: lol... That lady is smart. She knows Trump's mumu-button Just praise him a bit, tell him everyone loves him, tell him he is better than Biden and he is most qualified for Nobel Peace Prize and Trump will do your wishes even though he hates your face and gut. Someone who cried openly for Iran's 'thank you' is only a baby in an old man's body. Imagine Trump wishing all the journalists covering him are like the lady, who will only praise him and say beautiful things to him
The lady is a loyal Congolese and she knows just what to say to get Trump dance to Congo wishes and end the war in Congo.
If I get a chance to get the racist Trump do something for Africa, I will also have to say all that and even more.
You were out criticizing Trump without understanding what she meant or why she was praising him. This is exactly what TDS Raumdeuter was talking about.
[quote author=raumdeuter post=135916571]See what people in Congo have to say about the racist president Trump according to the media
WATCH: Reporter @HarianaVeras—a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and White House reporter—discusses what she's seen on the ground in the DRC upon news of the peace agreement, brokered by the Trump Administration:
I plan to buy a Tesla, but they really need to improve their dashboard. Initially, I liked the simplistic design of the dashboard, but I think they should make some changes. I would suggest creating a hybrid of their current design and what Mercedes is doing with their dashboards. Although their Model X dashboard is better than any Tesla Model dashboard, That too can use an improvement
nateevs: Look at what these crazy psychotic idiots are discussing on TV. Yet their supporters will come out saying they were minding their own business, before shit can their way.
basilico: Activist judges have been informed by SCOTUS that God doesn't wear black robes. I've been complaining all along calling them Obama Clinton Biden judges . They are deliberately sabotaging the Trump administration. In Maryland any illegal filing suit against deportation automatically gets an injunction in his favour, whether he is detained in a different jurisdiction. It's a big win, I dont rule out Trump being vindictive henceforth.
And one girl living in aba is having a serious meltdown 🤣
Agrees Illegals should leave The law enforcement agency that is in charge is ICE when they try to do what he says he wants, people like him block the road and attack ICE for doing what he claims he is in support of
Any excuse to display grievance whether real or imagined
The stock market crash they predicted didnt happen, recession they have stopped whining about, egg prices, borders, Now NATO has agreed to 5%, The WW3 they were shouting about didnt happen
They have to find something else. Which is why being a leftist and being insane is a perfect circle on a Venn diagram
If that woman abi IjeBos believes the N word is behind obesity and heart disease, he would have called us the N word 1000 in 60 seconds 🤣
The insanity they flows will let them excuse any degenerate point of view.
raumdeuter: Imagine him whining about a country enforcing their laws. If you ask him what he is whining about he probably doesnt know He said people here illegally should leave yet he is still whining about me posting that anyone here illegally should leave
You are looking at an underachiever. Let her cry, she is a perpetual victim.
