I’m not a fan of the man but he will be remembered far longer than many men who sired a village of kids.

He left a mark on this country (for better or worse will depend on whom you ask). I think it could’ve been better.

But some of the laws, policies and systems he helped create in America will (unfortunately) be in effect decades after he’s gone. That’s what a legacy is. Not children.

What other value do humans have outside reproduction?

Take Lindsay Graham for example. No wife, no kids and now dead. He's being replaced at the Senate as we speak.

He'll be buried and that will be last time anyone will hear of him.

Don't be like Lindsay Graham.

IjeBos:
Lindsey Graham

Look who’s left behind to deal with the consequences of decisions of old me with one foot in the grave.

Us young people and your children

I don't even know where they find their audacity. Everything that concerns women's body and choices makes them come alive.

I would really love to know too.
Audacity at an all time high

GloriousGbola:
wtf is natural birth?

like who actually is advising this clown?

Natural birth as in push until you die . Because women are simply commodities to them whose lives have no value outside of reproduction. 😒

What happens when men who will never have first hand experience of childbirth think they should be involved in making rules concerning women and their reproductive health. This is why everyone won’t common sense needs to be apprehensive of conservatives overreach into women’s rights and bodily autonomy.

Thank you.

From the bottom of my heart

IjeBos:
100% with you.
I think I have heard tales of sexual assault (rape) and violence from at least 70% of my female friends/cousins in Nigeria.
The amount of stories I have heard actually surprised me when I thought about it one day a couple of years back.

When Raumdeuter tried to make a joke that I saw sexism/misogyny at the Lagos airport, it told me exactly who he was.

I'm pushing back on this because I'd like to draw a line at the casual sexism/misogyny and lack of repercussions for it I see in this forum from too many men.

Unfortunately you guys are operating under the assumption that these guys are different from Trump. And that tells me how “innocent” you are on issues of sexual assault.

As a woman who was raised in Nigeria where men have less consequences for overt perversion, I can tell you sincerely that a lot of men are like Trump, Including these ones on here supporting him. Most of your sisters and female friends can confide in you that they started experiencing cat-calling from ages 10 and above by full grown men. In public. With no fear of repercussions.

It’s the truth. And we don’t talk about it for fear of discomforting the men we love who we view differently from men like him. But there are way too many men who are like Trump. So, it shouldn’t astonish you guys that this is happening. It’s no surprise to me they’ll go to hell and back in defense of him.

IjeBos:
Just reading this again, shows how far the US has fallen morally.
We elected this man President.

bayelsaowei:
So ask yourself.. if Trump has been wrongly accused, why hasn’t any court exonerated him? Even hi DOJ can’t save him. Maybe Trump needs to hire you to fight the case (we know you didn’t read law.

All the courts have insisted Trump is culpable and should pay fine, but you a black Nigerian, who has neither seen Trump face to face nor have a personal relationship with him insists the woman is lying and that Trump is innocent.

You see yourself?

How more pathetic can your situation be?

You want to agree that the shooting shouldn’t have happened but what?

Your unwavering support for the conservative moral decadence won’t let you?

Therefore you’re rambling a bunch of disjointed nonsense to achieve what? To justify ? Excuse?

If you can’t unequivocally say that what’s bad is bad, pls hush.

basilico:
I want to agree that the shooting shouldn't have happened.
Was the guy entirely blameless. . ICE is arresting over 2000 people a day ,they all know they shouldn't shoot.
If the witnesses are passengers why should I fully take their word.
In a movie a fast speeding car tyres are shot out by the hero. In real life it's different.

Turns out he wasn’t even their intended target. They didn’t think to mention that early on until evidence from elsewhere showed they were lying. If n evidence surfaced, they would’ve kept lying through their rotten teeth!

What astounds me is black and brown people who support them thinking they’re somehow exempt. I pray what they support doesn’t find itself in their own reality.

Of course then they’ll expect sympathy and community from liberals.

bayelsaowei:
Justice can be delayed but not denied..

It’s around the corner.

ijebosb:
They have been playing this, "They were trying to attack us with their car, so we had to kill them" bit for a long time now. And every time evidence comes out, we see they were lying. And surprise surprise, no body cam.

The crazier thing is that, even leaving out the inhumanity of this, if they were smart they would make an example of these ICE agents.
We are heading into midterms and Republicans are struggling and they somehow think alienating more brown skinned people is the way to go?
Morally tone deaf and politically tone deaf.

How does one comply with unmarked vehicles and masked men?

Republicants responses to this are very distasteful lack empathy and compassion even with all the facts presented that he wasn’t even the intended person and that Lorenzo was on his way to work to make an honest living. He had never had any encounters with law enforcement in the past he was a model citizen with a perfect background never been in trouble

If it was you being chase by an unmarked car you would be in fear for your life. It could’ve been someone trying to rob him so why stop? Apparently no reckoning is allowed for people responding in a normal way to being pursued by strangers.

You ghouls need to find your souls and be better humans.

One of the family’s three wishes is a reform to ICE operations and "doing away with ambush-style tactics and unmarked vehicles."

The Houston chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), shared a statement from the Salgado Araujo family, with whom LULAC has been working since the shooting.

"Here on Canal Street is where my dad Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and bled out before passing away," Reyes said, reading from a written statement by the family. "He lay here in pain and in fear for his life and with the fear of leaving his family behind. He did not deserve to die. [...] He deserved to take his workers to the job site, finish the houses, and go back home to his loving wife."

The family's three wishes: for an independent investigation of the shooting, a reform to ICE operations "doing away with ambush-style tactics and unmarked vehicles," and financial assistance for Salgado Araujo's wife, Maria.

Nothing fishy here at all

President Donald Trump fired all three remaining members of the US Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, leaving the only federal agency dedicated solely to election administration without commissioners and unable to function, as the 2026 midterm cycle gets underway.

The two Democratic commissioners, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, received identical termination emails. "On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Commissioner of the Election Assistance Commission is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service," each email read. Republican commissioner Christy McCormick was allowed to resign rather than be fired outright. A fourth commissioner, Republican Donald Palmer, had already departed earlier this year to join the Heritage Foundation.

The EAC was established by Congress following the disputed 2000 election to support states in running elections without federalizing them. Its functions include distributing federal election funds, maintaining the national voter registration form, testing and certifying voting systems, and providing guidance to local election officials. With no commissioners in place, all of that work stops.

The firings followed the Supreme Court's late June ruling granting the president expanded power to remove leaders of independent agencies, overturning decades of precedent that had protected bipartisan federal commissions from direct White House control. Whether that ruling applies to an agency specifically designed around bipartisan balance remains legally unresolved and untested.

Replacing the commissioners is not straightforward. New members require presidential nomination and Senate confirmation, with no more than two from the same party, a process that takes time the current election cycle may not allow.
The EAC has faced paralysis through vacancies before, but never through the simultaneous removal of all its members by a sitting president, with voting system certifications pending across multiple states.

basilico:
I hope you are not saying this is justifiable .

I’m saying there are way more black women going through worse and you don’t seem to be as concerned

When it comes to killing black women .

And now we can see why?

Black men like you are more interested in protecting white women than protecting black women. This “statistic” adds to my argument.

It’s an indictment on the mindset of black men like you. More obsessed and concerned about that safety of white women than the women in your own community.

The other day you saw a video of pregnant black woman being attacked and assumed she must have deserved it somehow.

Now you’re posting a statistic to prove to me that the perpetrators of violence against black women are overwhelmingly black men. Of course you’re right. You’re one of them.

Those who keep quiet in the face of such acts or try to blame black women for the crimes committed against them are all part of the violence against us.

Given how much you obviously hate the black women in your community, I don’t know why you think you’re exempt from that statistic.

He was reaching for a gun "in his sleep" again another internal investigation and nothing to see here.

Body camera footage shows U.S. Park Police discussing whether to wait until a sleeping teen was "startled" before fatally shooting him five times in the back.

GOP warns WNBA it could get involved if attacks against Caitlin persist.

Can't get it over my head how you people think it's normal to punch someone . Maybe because it's a black girl punching a white girl.

But you can get it over your head how people think it’s normal to kill black people for no just cause. That doesn’t upset anything in your soul at all. Only the image of a white girl getting hit upsets you.

Oderishious behavior

This whole Trump era has really revealed who’s who among the people.

If anything I’m glad it’s happened so the ghouls can be separated from the normal people.

No way Trump made them this way. He just gave them an avenue to live out loud in their dark persuasions.

IjeBos:
It was a simple question, that you couldn't simply answer.
You are a grown man, who is not anonymous on here, who claims to have a daughter.
Yet, you are incapable of saying that a man who puts his finger in a woman's vajayjay without her consent raped her.
Instead, you spend copious of amounts of time lying ad gaslighting to rationalize it and Trump.

There's an evilness in your soul. And I assume it didn't start with Trump.

What category of mental illness is it when you claim to be for the working people but reading about a politician protecting working people like this bothers you?

“Islamic republic of Japan”

According to y’all’s president 😩

When they react violently to his gassing them up like he did on Jan 6, he’ll claim he never encouraged them to be violent.

‼️⏰ Trump Just Told His Base to Assassinate Democrats…

The American public needs to recognize the severity of this exact moment. Far too many remain dangerously oblivious to how close to the edge we truly are. Donald Trump is not just fracturing the country; he is deliberately engineering a crisis. With this latest escalation, he has taken another calculated step, broadcasting a call for violence in plain sight. He has mastered the coward's game of plausible deniability, making his lethal intentions unmistakable while avoiding a direct command.

Trump is not just venting on Truth Social. He is actively constructing a permission structure for lethal violence. By explicitly and erroneously labeling his political opponents as "hard core, godless Communists" who are "animals," Trump is systematically stripping millions of Americans of their humanity and political legitimacy. The accusation of communism is a completely baseless scare tactic untethered from political and economic reality, but the physical danger of the rhetoric is very real. This is a deliberate tactical escalation designed to move the national conversation out of the realm of policy debate and into the dangerous territory of existential warfare.

Strip away the chaotic formatting, and the underlying architecture of this post is chillingly precise. Trump sets up a brutal binary where survival requires total capitulation to his authority. When he tells his audience that a political defeat means they will "start living in squalor" and that "everyone will suffer or die," he is inducing a manufactured state of panic. He wants his followers to believe that normal democratic processes are no longer viable. This leaves them with only one logical conclusion, which is that extreme action is the only path to self-preservation.

The most dangerous and calculated mechanism in Trump's post is his explicit focus on assassination. When Trump states that "Assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their Ideology," he is engaged in a highly intentional psychological tactic. By baselessly accusing the political left of harboring murderous intent, Trump is creating an artificial state of imminent threat. He is telling his followers that they are marked for death. This serves as a psychological green light for preemptive retaliation.

This projection completely flips the script on political violence in America. Trump is trying to position his movement as the ultimate potential victim of lethal state terror, even as his own rhetoric openly advocates for authoritarian execution. By convincing his base that Democrats are actively plotting the assassination of their rivals, Trump builds an ironclad justification for his own supporters. He makes any potential violence committed by his followers look like a justified, defensive counter-strike rather than an act of unprovoked aggression.

To make this violent framework palatable, Trump relies heavily on blatant dehumanization. Calling political rivals "animals" who are "ruthless" and "not smart" is a well-documented prerequisite for political atrocities. Trump uses this language to erode the natural empathy that prevents citizens from harming one another. If his followers truly believe their neighbors are subhuman predators intent on their destruction, the moral barriers against political violence collapse entirely.

Trump also uses this post to trap the broader Democratic establishment in a rhetorical vice. By mocking them as "not smart enough or tough enough to fight this plague," he punches down on any attempt at political moderation or de-escalation. Trump frames standard democratic compromise as pathetic weakness, actively signaling to his audience that the only language the opposition understands is raw, unyielding power. He is trying to force a polarization so severe that peaceful coexistence becomes impossible.

The rhetorical pipeline becomes even more terrifying when Trump seamlessly transitions from domestic grievances to international military action. His boast about ordering a military strike in Nigeria to save a "Great Christian population" is not an accidental pivot. Trump is intentionally drawing a straight line between foreign terrorists and domestic political rivals. He is signaling to his base that he views both groups through the exact same lens, seeing them all as existential enemies of the faith who must be crushed with overwhelming physical force.

By highlighting his willingness to hit terrorists "violently and hard," Trump is dropping a massive, undeniable hint about how he believes domestic "communists" should be handled. If domestic political opponents are grouped under the same "godless" banner as active terrorists who want to "kill your people," then Trump is subtly validating the use of military-grade force against American citizens. He is normalizing the idea that internal political dissent should be met with the same kinetic violence used on a foreign battlefield.

Trump wraps this entire violent thesis in the armor of a holy war, proclaiming himself the unilateral savior who is "saving Christians throughout the World." This exploitation of religious anxiety is a classic authoritarian tactic designed to bypass secular law and personal morality. By convincing his evangelical base that their very faith is under an apocalyptic assault where rivals will "close your churches," Trump elevates his political ambitions into a divine mandate. This suggests to his followers that ordinary laws no longer apply.

When you fully connect the dots of Trump's Truth Social rant, the picture is unambiguous. This is a carefully constructed radicalization engine. Trump erroneously links Democrats to a fabricated communist threat, strips his opponents of their humanity, falsely accuses them of plotting murder, and frames an incoming election as a literal fight to the death. We must stop treating these outbursts as mere eccentric social media noise and aggressively expose them for what they truly are. They are direct, calculated attempts by Donald Trump to weaponize fear and incite political violence across America.

Lock her up and throw away the keys

Embarrassing for you

basilico:
Nigeria is not bad at all if you have a good income.
America welcomed you there to teach you skills you can transfer back home.
None of your post makes sense here at all .Zero skill level knowledge yiu have exhibited on any topic under the sun.
If they deported you here,, your best job would be a taxi driver.
What subject matter are you good at?
Everyone here sometimes posts on matters that they are experts in .
You? I'm in America .

You must have 38 hours in your day then because you sleep on this thread. Or maybe you have a different definition of time.

basilico:
I'm a go getter . When I take up a project I do it to the best if my abilities.
My project here is to shine the light squarely on liberals.
It takes very little of my time if you should know

They’re used to democrats having better morals. And they know they can count on democrat voters to hold their leaders to more stringent standards that they actually think it’s just a regular tuesday for them to openly support a peydo and turn around to judge Democrat leaders for not being perfect. Like that’s just how it is.

ijebosb:
It's all pretextual. They try to build an image of what they want the world to think they are, while being the opposite. As if we don't have eyes and ears.

Trump is still in office and they are acting like the President they support is not a sexual predator who has to pay someone 5 million because a jury held him liable for sexual assualt.

The US media has normalized the degeneracy of Trump and his supporters.
In any other country with a strong democracy, a leader like Trump would have been thrown out of office a long time ago.

Good ole trickle effect. Except it never actually trickles down

Oh shut up.

Two faced hypocrite

basilico:
They cover their faces in the line of duty. The reason for that is that antifa and BLM thugs are likely to dox them.. Which has happened to them time and time again risking their lives. That's for their own security and families.
Say if an illegal alien is deported and his children are thugs ,don't you think the children can harm ICE agents.

Separate the two.. Patriot front is not a banned org so there's really no reason to cover themselves if they have nothing to hide. If they were known democrat activists they'd not want to be outed as pretenders.
I don't think that's hard to understand.

ijebosb:
Nobody cares what any degenerate who voted for Trump has to say about the sexual abuse of women.

The way Trump supporters are oblivious to their own depravity astonishes me.

Same people that said we don’t need leaders to be good people in order to support them. “As long as they lead well”.

Now we’re supposed to believe they care about the character of anyone in politics?

basilico:
Those are not ICE agents ,they are Patriotic Front members who support GOP ostensibly. They are so shy their faces can't be seen , which tells you everything.

You said Trump supporter don’t cover their faces.

Ice agents have been covering their faces.

Are they not Trump supporters?

Keuns do your job. Run to the defense of the white man.

South Florida cops claimed they were “forced to fire” at a 32-year-old Black man named Donald Taylor in August because he was armed and would not follow commands.

But newly surfaced video contradicts those claims, showing the Black man walking away from cops with his hands raised to his sides showing no gun in his hand when a Hollywood police officer fired a single shot as Taylor had his back turned to the cops, killing him.

South Florida cops claimed they were “forced to fire” at a 32-year-old Black man named Donald Taylor in August because he was armed and would not follow commands.

But newly surfaced video contradicts those claims, showing the Black man walking away from cops with his hands raised to his sides showing no gun in his hand when a Hollywood police officer fired a single shot as Taylor had his back turned to the cops, killing him.

Our office was able to independently obtain video of the moments leading up to the shooting and what is absolutely clear is that Donald Taylor posed NO THREAT to the officers or the public at the time of this shooting.

We demand public accountability and stand with Donald’s family as they pursue justice for this callous act.

Hollywood police told local media after the August shooting that Taylor had an active arrest warrant because he was the main suspect in a string of armed robberies throughout Hollywood and Miramar, two municipalities in Broward County. They said they were conducting a surveillance operation in a Miramar neighborhood when they confronted Taylor.

“The suspect was armed and refused to listen to officer’s verbal commands. At that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred,” police told local media at the time in a press release. Police also said they recovered a gun at the scene.

But the newly surface video from a security camera in a home shows Taylor casually strolling through a residential neighborhood before he walks out of the frame. That is when the cops can be heard yelling at him, ordering him to the ground.

Taylor then walks back into the frame with his arms extended to his side, walking away from the cops while looking back at them. He does not appear to be holding a gun.

What are you guys doing to me?” he says as he walks away.

That was when a cop fires a single shot, causing Taylor to fall face down on the ground.

“Don’t move!” the cop yells as he approaches with his gun drawn. A second cop walks alongside him with a gun drawn.

But the new video shows very clearly that Taylor was in no way threatening the cops which may explain the reluctance to release body camera video. And his attorneys say he was suffering from mental illness.

“Donald was a loving son and brother, who recently began to suffer debilitating symptoms of a mental health crisis,” the Whitehouse Law Firm said in a press release posted on Instagram, announcing it will be representing Taylor’s family.

“Within days of the incident, the Hollywood Police Department began to release misleading statements about the murder, suggesting that the officer fired his weapon because Donald was armed.”

“Simultaneously, they have refused to release any information to his family. High definition video evidence, from an independent 3rd party reveals the truth; Donald was shot down without regard and without justification.”

Hollywood police have not even released the name of the officer who shot Taylor, telling local media the case is being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

“The media has already begun to deflect from the callousness of his murder, by focusing on allegations of crimes he was accused of leading up to his murder,” the press release from the Whitehouse Law Firm states.

“Despite the seriousness of these allegations, Donald, like any person accused of a crime in this country, was entitled to Due Process and the Presumption of Innocence. The police should not, and do not have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner,” the attorneys added

So ICE agents weren’t Trump supporters?

You guys know what your are is rotten

basilico:
You are getting fooled by antifa and BLM thugs .Trump supporters don't wear masks .These are the thugs that SPLC was indicted for paying them .
Try another.

Better story is how Reuters had a journalist in the metro who took this photo

The type of information his delulu followers guzzle from him.

Trump KEEPS sharing nonsense posts that falsely claim Wisconsin has 7.4 million registered voters. That is FALSE.

Wisconsin has 3.7 million registered voters.

Wisconsin does, however, have 8.3 million names on its voter LIST — but of them, only 3.7 million are active registered voters.

The remaining 4.6 million are inactive voters. Inactive records include people who previously registered to vote but later moved out of state, died, lost eligibility because of a felony conviction, or were ruled incompetent to vote by a court.

While their names haven’t been removed from the voter list, because of their inactive status, they CANNOT VOTE unless they re-register, which requires proof of residency and a photo ID.

Wisconsin never deletes voter records, so the total database of active and inactive registrations only grows!

And if you ACTUALLY want to “avoid voter fraud” — you should be HAPPY Wisconsin doesn’t delete these records!

Keeping inactive records indefinitely helps prevent fraud: If somebody tries to register using the identity of a dead voter, for example, clerks can flag that application, because the prior record — including the reason it was deactivated — is still on file.

Basilico’s people

At his big age he’s still worried about what girls are doing. Seems like there’s no growing up for him.
