Become? He always was

adecz:
Trump has become advocate for Russia..


Such a disgrace, but normal with Trump who
is a puppet of Putin.

In other news, anti vaxxers are trying to minimize the measles outbreak currently going on. The outbreak has claimed the life of an unvaccinated child in Texas. First measles death in over 10 years.

RFK is claiming outbreaks like this are normal when we’re only in February and already have such a high number. If the trend persists, it will surpass whatever we’ve had in recent years.

After all, in the 2000, America celebrated the elimination of measles. It wasn’t until right wing conspiratorial moms started their anti vaccine propaganda did we start to see kids getting sick with these types of diseases again. And even then, no child has died in 10 years until now.

They’re doing all this refusing to understand that babies under 9 months can’t even get a single dose of the vaccine so they are especially at risk. Also people with weakened immune systems can’t get it either. They too are at risk. Herd immunity protects everyone including those who can’t get the vaccine.

This anti-healthcare, anti-science and anti-intellectualism brand of politics is very dangerous.

IjeBos:
And that's the problem.
I don't even see how that aligns with any form of Christianity.
Cruelty is antithetical to Christ.
The Republican party is viscerally broken.

They said we should not commit the sin of empathy. 🫣

Too much foresight. We can’t have that.

Healthcare based conspiracy theories are easier and pack a better punch when your making a politically charged statement.

IjeBos:
Like the programs that provided aid on ebola. They were probably concerned if they didn't fight it and understand it outside the US, if and when it did hit the US it would be devastating. So, in one sense it was aid, on the other it was preventative for US citizens. So, if it did come to the US, how much more money would we be spending then?.

Cruelty is his stock in trade.

Did you watch his face as he talked about removing Palestinians from Gaza?
Or when that plane collision happened the reporter asked him if he planned to visit the site, he replied “go where? Swimming?” As if people who went to pay their respects at the site had to jump into the water to do so. I mean he didn’t even need to go. All he had to say was “I have no plans for that right now”. Simple straight forward.

They think having empathy is weakness and if you’re passionate about something humane, you are “emotional”. To them that’s worse than being a hard hearted awful human being.

He’s absolutely unequivocally awful.

IjeBos:
It's absolutely evil and demonic to shut down the programs overnight the way Trump did.
If he wanted to make the argument he had the power to and the programs were a waste he should have at least given the partners 3 months to find alternatives or slow shut them down.
Now there will be people who relied on that food, or HIV medication, other medication, or numerous other things who would have had to find alternatives overnight.
It's the kind of thing you go to hell for.

basilico:
There is a difference between that and appointing someone because of colour race religion.
Public buildings follow certain codes,
There were always provisions for the disabled in every society, DEi seems to be like an extension of common sense norms .

You’re almost there.

Are there provisions for disabled people everywhere in Nigeria? If not maybe then you’re realizing those codes and rules exist for a reason. Because if they aren’t enforced, people will not implement them.

You and I agree that it’s common sense to use the most qualified person for each role, but the actual facts disagree with you and I. Just because it’s common sense doesn’t mean people are overlooking their biases and implementing this common sense principle.

That’s literally why the enforcement exists. Without enforcement few people will apply it.

Only if you’re deliberately choosing to disregard relevant history and current events will you say DEI is not useful to prevent discrimination.

basilico:
I didn't know Texas Governors are appointed by somebody.

DEI is more than appointments or who occupies a position. It includes making spaces accessible to everyone regardless of skin color, disability, gender etc.
In his case, the building where he works has access for him to roll his wheelchair into partly because of DEI.

Obviously he’s privileged because he’s a governor but outlawing DEI means any organization that wishes to can legally exempt themselves from making their spaces accessible to disabled people and have no consequences for it.

You guys just condemn whatever you’ve been told is a bad thing. No understanding of what it is you’re even talking about .

Lol

When they say DEI they just mean women and brown people

AmazonTopaz:
How crazy do people need to be to believe that a billionaire, the richest man in the world who is very hostile to workers/labour rights is acting in the best interest of Americans are people really that stupid?

Anyway thank you very much for your service. I wish you the very best of life.

Thank you 🙏🏽

AmazonTopaz:
Even if you want to leave because MAGA is likely going to MAGA who is she to tell you what to do? It's crazy.

The gag is I did leave to Germany but not because Maga gonna Maga (WTF Are they?). I left in service of America. How’s that for not being American enough?

And to watch Republicans or worse Elon who’s an immigrant like myself get to decide if my family may retire or not based on what programs he deems useful/useless is a slap to the face. And most of the time he makes these decisions high on ketamine without any regard to the lives he’s upending.

I still work in the US but on my free time, I help the govt workers on base because they’re so short staffed they need all the volunteers they can get. That’s the same govt service Elon is messing with. Calling them wasteful. Why don’t we just send people home to die then so we don’t waste money saving their lives?

If someone doesn’t understand why something is an important issue to the people experiencing it, the prudent thing would be to not tell them how to react to it. That just pissed me all the way off but I’m over it now 😂.

A rapist who brags about sexually assaulting women, who talks about how he used to walk into teenage girls changing rooms in the pageant he owned, pressures a weaker govt to release a couple of rapists/sex traffickers and his supporters are shocked? What did they think you were supporting?

When has he ever made a pretense of being a moral person? Contrary to what some of his followers say, I’ve been observing Trump and he never actually claimed to be a the holy man of God. They gave him that title all on their own and he gladly accepted it when he saw it was another way he could garner votes. And he would quickly dump that title too if it didn’t serve him anymore.

Their lack of discernment is to his benefit. Because I’m not surprised by any of his actions. That some of them guys are surprised makes me wonder who it is they’ve been looking at.

IjeBos:
Lol at MAGA being mad that Trump helped free Andrew Tate.
Luckily for them they don't really understand what "pre$$ured" Romania actually means.

ALl that cognitive dissonance.

Yes or no please
No long story

“Would you be happy to be removed from your ancestral home to actualize some foreigner’s idea of what is best for you?”

Would you be okay when some foreigner comes to your father’s compound in your village and pushes all of you out because they feel they have a better idea of what the area should look like?

It’s easy to be flippant with certain opinions when it’s not your life that’s being affected.

villionz:
what is ancestral home?

Look my friend, a lot has happened in these life and a lot more will continue to happen.

Sometimes innocent lives can die for nothing because of foolish ideas.

Sometimes they die for something great on better ideas.

There's no permanent land owner.
If you can fight to hold your ground today, good luck.

If you can't , then you give it up or die Fighting.

Where you are standing had been occupied by some races or beings so long before now.

So fight or leave.
If you think you will be freely given by a human, you're a joker

So someone was stashing the drugs and redistributing them for sale part their expiration date.

Would you be happy to be removed from your ancestral home to actualize some foreigner’s idea of what is best for you?

villionz:
And if Dem allow this man Gaza plan work, e for better for Gaza o.

But detrimental islamic extremist will not support the move.

Because they prefer Gaza ruines in war than Gaza beauty in peace.

Dem say make Dem go prepare better place for them, Dem no gree

Next time I uproot my life and pack up my family to go be of service, I’ll remember I’m not even American enough to be doing all that.

Maeve7:
I was in awe of your patience. A jibe here and a jibe there.

You’re not allowed to comment because you’re from Nigeria. When you tell her that you’re a citizen and she is not, then it’s not you commenting that is the problem but how often.

At the end of the day you have to “honor” your president. Not the constitution, the president.

Maeve7:
The incoherence is legendary at this point.

Honestly it’s my fault. I gave room for that.

Because she clearly wouldn’t say that to any other person even if they’ve only been in the USA for a month.

Living in the US for over a decade doesn’t make me American enough to have an opinion in her books but she’s sitting here swallowing propaganda from people who have never stepped into the country before

basilico:
I'm saving you from a mental breakdown. Some here are irredeemable, I don't place you there ... Yet.

Worry about your own mental health.

You don’t even know what day of the week it is until your handlers let you know what to think it is.

If you don’t know why I ignore you, it’s because there’s no sensible way to respond to the tripe you post that wouldn't be insulting so to avoid it, I ignore you .

You guys are fond of crying about being insulted. When you don’t post anything that wouldn’t hurt a normal human brain. And the only appropriate response every time is to point out how wack it is.

So pls stop mentioning me and carry on with your word vomit of republican propaganda.

basilico:
Obama didn't steal. He won clean. Biden attempted to jail everyone who protested the 2020 theft.

2024, such cases are popping up.

https://badlandsmedia.tv/ohio-elections-under-scrutiny-as-black-fork-strategies-faces-fraud-allegations/

Go sit in a padded room please and stop mentioning me.

AmazonTopaz:
Did she say that she will vote for "reform" is she White? Isn't she an immigrant? Very unserious person. Lol.

🤦🏽‍♀️

nateevs:
But he wants to call others liars. As long as it is one of them, the facts don't matter.

Imagine him calling Gulliani a man of honour who fight to stop the stolen 2020 election.

Absolute nutter.

If democrats win it’s stolen
If republicans win it’s a landslide

I actually blame democrat politicians for not challenging this past election because if any election was stolen, it was clearly this one. And that’s based on Trump’s own words (insinuations).

ibabz:
The elections should be next year while preparations start this year.

Good luck to our country then

IjeBos:
What makes someone more American than another American?
Are you saying they are more American because they have citizenship and someone else doesn't?
Or do you think the length the person's family has been in the US makes them more or less American?

I'm a 1st generation American. And I consider myself just as American as anyone else.

Elon that wasn’t born here can come in and decide what my tax dollars will be spent on but I can’t have an opinion because?

Meanwhile she gets to talk from across the pond.

That was very disrespectful and I’m glad she said it because now I’m under no illusions of any shared or mutual understanding of courteousness.

ibabz:
So you actually believe the price is coming down? Wait until after the elections. This man will do everything to make people believe his policies are working. The same way dollars went down last week, now the fuel. A simple logical explanation for this is that elections preparation is behind the corner and they must get something to use for their campaign.

Pls write this down, if by mistake, Tinubu wins the second term election, dollar is going above N2000.

I’m just being hopeful

So When is the second term election?

So hopefully the price will keep going down? Because 800+ is not at all the dream. Not with 70k minimum wage

descarado:
I'm not killing myself over uk politics like you.
I voted the conservatives, loved the past Indian prime minister. I don't do party politics. Last year, I voted for Labour. Next time I may vote reform.
I will not choke cos what I expected is not happening. Brits don't play your kind of politics.
They know how to make their voices heard.
Far right, far left, center, I don't care.

but you don’t mind killing yourself for American politics that’s none of your business. Fix your priorities pls.

You, cococandy especially, the guys here do give you so much respect, you take that for granted.
They are very careful with you since after the election. You insult them at whim and don't know when to stop. American politics brought out the worst in you.

Okay missy. Their insults are respect. Only when I respond in kind is it disrespectful.
You in particular have come at me disrespectfully few times that I ignored because I didn’t want to be accused of misunderstanding a situation. And I always told myself you had good intentions so I ignored the delivery.

But for you to be outrightly disrespectful the way you’ve been and expect me to stomach it shows I might have been mistaken about you.

The worst in me is not supporting a man who’s not ashamed to say he finds his daughter sexually attractive?
There are lines I won’t cross and Trump has drawn many of them. If you’re shocked that I don’t support a rapist, you and I clearly didn’t understand where each other stood initially.

That you continue to support him means the worst you think he’s brought out in other people was always in you.
Miss me with the “I don’t like to go dirty on the internet” rhetoric.

And have a pleasant day!!!

And I’m glad we had this conversation because I don’t like pretense.

@descarado, The other day you were trying to talk so authoritatively on what they’re teaching kids in American schools. Your kids don’t even go to school here. I’m supposed to look at my kid’s curriculum (from all the states we’ve lived in), help them with their homework everyday and then disregard all that in favor of what you an internet person who doesn’t live in the country said is the truth?

descarado:
Don't allow hatred cloud your reasoning.
The hatred in you is so much. More than your goons here that I read their posts here.

I didn't say you are stupid and please don't go that lane with me.

If you so much hate president trump, you can relocate to another country or wait it out.
The hatred is choking you.

if not supporting a rapist is what makes me hateful, then I’m proudly so. He’s a repulsive person. That’s not hatred.

His supporters are united by their hate for everyone they hope Trump will “get” for them. Don’t project yourselves on us.
Your hate for other people is what’s making you support a clearly deranged man. Maybe you should look in the mirror.

One will think you are second generation immigrant in America. You are first generation immigrant yet want to be more American than those their forefathers have been Americans for generations cos you have green card.

What should we now say about you that doesn’t even live here yet you have big opinions? If I can’t express my opinions because I’m not white or second generation. By that logic, doesn’t that mean you shouldn’t even be smelling this thread? Make it make sense.

Btw a geeen card is not a passport. I had a green card in Nigeria. Now I have both a blue and red passport. If you don’t know what either of those are, google before contributing.

In British politics, I stay back and learn.

that’s exactly what you should be doing to American politics. Sit back and learn because you know nada. You have it backwards. You should Sit back and learn about American politics but stay active and pay attention to your own politics that will affect you and your future generations. Misplaced priorities if you ask me

I learn from the English people and our people that have been here for so long. There are some things the news will not tell you, you decipher cos you have been in the system for long.

So how long have you been in the American system that you have all this wisdom to share? Did you get to the point and walk past it? The point that you have to learn some things for yourself before speaking on them? Because that’s clearly not what you’re doing now.

I have a reason why I say I don't like going dirty online.

America brought out the worst in you unless all these years you have been pretending.

I don’t know you from anywhere. All you know is that you found Trump and jumped on the bigotry bandwagon damned whoever gets burned.
And those who live here are telling you how it will affect them your solution is that they should abandon their homes and lives and leave. You might not want to go dirty but you sure as hell don’t mind talking nonsense.

BTW UK is way more left leaning than America. Why are you still there? Why haven’t you packed your bags and left @descerado? Since you want offer ill-informed advice that no one asked you for.

descarado:
You are not more American than Ellen. She left quietly. It's called walk the talk.

Show me all the republicans that left when they didn’t like Biden’s administrations since you feel have sense.

And even if I left, I’m still required to pay taxes anyway. what reason exactly would I have to stop talking about it especially if the damage he’s doing will affect the country decades from now? While the taxes I’m paying will still be cut from funding that helps the general population in favor of funding Elon musk and co?

American economy is still reeling from Reagan’s economic impacts decades after his presidency is gone. A lot of the stuff they’re doing now is to help the middle class that his economic policies destroyed. So will Trump’s policies affect the kids of today as they grow older. Why would leaving for four years be the solution? Do you think he leaves in fours years and everything magically reverts back to how it was?

And I was holding out hope for a really long time hoping it wouldn’t get to this.

bemeruca:
Do you get tired of spreading fear mongering lies?

Things don’t become lies because you don’t have the capacity to comprehend them.

A House budget framework that calls for hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid has passed on the floor by a vote of 217-215.

The House of Representatives last night voted 217-215 to adopt its budget proposal that calls for $2 trillion in spending cuts, some of which could potentially impact Medicaid and other key health care programs. The bill, which focuses on the Trump administration's agenda on border security, defense, energy and taxes, also allows for up to $4.5 trillion in spending for tax cuts and would raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

In a statement shared yesterday with the media prior to the House vote, AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack said the chamber should construct a path forward on budget reconciliation that “protects Medicaid from harmful cuts that would impact access to care for millions of Americans.”

“On behalf of the hospitals, nurses, doctors and those who care for and serve the needs of the 72 million patients that rely on Medicaid, we urge you to consider the implications of hinging the budget reconciliation bill’s fate on removing health care access for millions of our nation's patients,” Pollack said. “These are hardworking families, children, seniors, veterans, and disabled individuals who rely on essential health care services.”

You have some nerve telling me to leave the country of my citizenship because I don’t like the president.

Because every republican left the country the whole four years they were griping about Biden and storming the capital trying to hang the vice president who belongs to their party too?

You’re in the UK thinking you have an opinion on Trump. On things you don’t have any experience in.
While me who’s a citizen of the country is supposed to shut up or move?. While we’re at it, why don’t you tell me what’s going on in my street today and how I should feel or react to it?

You don’t see me yapping about UK politics with base zero understanding of what’s going on there. Maybe you should consider shutting up. Since we’re offering unsolicited advice.🤷🏽‍♀️

Who are the American allies?

When you talk about American allies, I'm hoping Africa is included in it.

Well, if you hate American trump of today, you can leave and come back after 4 yrs.

I don't like buhari nor tinubu. My criticism of their govt is minimal as I just don't want to align with them. I waited buhari out. I will wait tinubu out too. I don't go about attacking him every minute I come online. Whether I like it or not, he is my Nigerian president and I should give him that honour.
So if you hate trump that bad,wait it out or pack and go to where you like. After4 yrs come back.
It's easy.

The disgust I feel
