Whenever you hear stuff like this, pls fact check it as most of it is republican propaganda. Take whatever they say with a pinch of salt.
One Easter. One Easter coincided with trans visibility day and the Republicans ran with the fake news that Biden has declared Easter trans day. Since then, haven’t we been celebrating Easter?
We have no public bathroom fiascos here. It’s all made up. Gender neutral bathrooms exist for everyone including families with babies. it doesn’t mean men and women are standing naked in the presence of each other in the name of genderlessness. You pick a stall, lock the door, use it and go your way.
Even in female bathrooms, we’re not standing around naked staring at each other. People who don’t want gender neutral toilets always have male/female bathrooms to choose from. This is absolutely a non-issue. Sometimes dads with little girls have no option but to take their kids to men’s bathrooms. Hence gender neutral toilets come in handy.
I understand the typical Nigerian is ultra conservative so when we hear stuff like this, it triggers a response in them that doesn’t allow one to actually check if it’s true or not. That’s why you hear a lot of people disliking dems without even knowing what’s true and what’s not.
Always use Reuters fact checkers or AP (the gold standard) of reporting to check anything you hear. When you say both parties play politics. Agree . Yet democrats “playing politics” at worst will lead to more diversity and inclusion.
Republicans playing politics will lead to fascism, theocracy and authoritarianism. It’s not the same at all.
Shattuck: I slightly disagree on this,america's left, I won't describe as centrist left I saw something sometime back when Biden declared Easter Sunday as an lgbtq day or something, can't recall the details, then you have the x passport where those who identify as genderless, then you have the decree or ruling where trans men and women gets to share a bathroom, or prison cell with imnates, I saw something in the news when a trans female impregnated several female inmate she was serving sentence with, then there was a push for trans female athlete comepeting in female sports, and another reason why I won't describe the democrats as moderate left is the way it reacts to issues relating to race, gender and sexuality, I get it that both party use it for political benefits, most nations have had it's fear of far right candidate, Italy is currently being led by a right wing candidate, France had one in the last election, even the UK had a conservative govt just recently one thing you would notice about these nations is the same anti immigration, nationalism drive, but you won't see the leftist opposition demonizing these moves so fervently the way the democrats do.
Shattuck: that's why in my personal conversations among my everyday offline folks I will always say the left wing are too far left and the right wing politicians are too far right, a middle ground, is all America needs, a ban on access to contraceptive is insensitive, and I never even knew such was in existence.
America’s far left is comparable to centrist or at most center left in other developed nations. The things the right wing complain about as extreme left is already existing in other developed countries and we’re just lagging behind.
Not if Putin becomes our commander in chief Imagine calling him my C-in-C. Eugh 🤢
I love your optimism my sister but I won’t lie to you, I’m worried. I hope that after all this internet trolling, it’ll end at that . Not become a reality for us.
It is my greatest hope that we will continue to be the greatest - and greatest military!
Nowhere else to run to.
I was listening to one of my father's favorite Peter Tosh:
Downpresser man Where you gonna run to All along that day You gonna run to the sea But the sea will be boiling When you run to the sea The sea will be boiling All along that day You gonna run to the rocks The rocks will be melting When you run to the rocks
Sorry I don’t understand the mention.Are they needing more information? If I’m being mentioned to provide information, then I encourage anyone who’s interested to go ahead and pursue that path. Work 3 days a week and own the rest of your time.
I can’t speak for all states but New grads without experience start at $77/hr in my union. With 6 percent yearly increase until they max out in the 130s. that’s even with shift differential.
Most experienced ( 30+ years in service) max out at around the $130s (this is even with shift differential added) Even the per diems + diff don’t go past that rate.
Only advanced practice RN (NP, CRNA) make above $130/hr base pay. It can go up the $200+ per hour if they are in a sought after area like anesthesia.
Most west coast cities will start the new grads around the $50s/hr.
No one should ask me about the red states. They’re notorious for voting for republicans who pay them slave wages and bust their unions so they can’t advocate for themselves.
IbeOkehie: There's an ad from a hospital near me offering $70/hr for nurses in their float pool.
I’m glad you’re not coming at it from a know it all position so I’m happy to share some information and facts with you
Many republican states do not support abortion even at the risk to a woman’s life, incest or teenage children raped by grown men. And to make matters worse they’re proposing bills to ban access to contraceptives which everyone should be pushing for if we want to prevent pregnancies/abortions.
Biden’s administration receives a lot of flack on immigration because they’re pursuing more humane ways of dealing with it rather than locking up people in cages and some of the inhumane practices of Trump’s administration.
Good point on the immigrant votes and Democratic Party. A perfect case of people climbing up and pulling the ladder so others can’t get up. Time will tell.
Shattuck: ok I am not an American so my opinion and understanding of things might be limited, I am not much of a fan of the republican party either, but the defeat of Kamala harris is not surprising to me, she is obviously more refined than Trump in terms of attitude and class, but the democrats/ Biden have not done well for the economy, immigration is an issue, yes Trump may exaggerate the problem or be racist about it, but it doesn't deny the fact that illegal migration is a big threat not just to america, another issue is the abortion right, yes we agree with the my body, my choice movement as it regards to rape, incest or health grounds but you can't expect everyone to just support the indiscriminate killing of the unborn, I like the democrats for giving a platform for minorities and immigrants community to lead and grow but that's just it, another thing worthy of note is the fact that nations that have the most immigrants population in the US come from conservative nations, like India, China, Nigeria, so in the long run I am looking at the future of the democratic party and if they can continue to get the votes of immigrants from these communities whose values and that of their home countries are a sharp contrast to that of the democrats.
maestroferddi: It would have been beneficial to you to own up to the fact that this subject is not your forte instead of appearing to derive fulfilment from advertising simple-mindedness in a public forum...
You are wasting my time so just take a hike and keep moving...
You should’ve given yourself this same advice when you were running around the forum after Tinubu won.
A Trump supporter who doesn’t even live in America whose support for Trump stems only from brainwashing as opposed to lived experience wants to call another person simple minded.
maestroferddi: You aint quick on the uptake, are you?
Trump won fair and square...Tinubu was inecked into power...
Trump has done it before has begin to do it again even when inauguration is more than 60 days away...
if you know what is good for ya, quit wearing emotions on your sleeves...
You can believe Tinubu was inecked into power without physically being there at every single polling booth
But somehow find it hard to believe that election interference by Russian bomb threats (proven by fbi) and other voter suppression tactics helped Trump into power. Because one fits your narrative and the other doesn’t
Pls don’t be stupid and go find something to do with your self instead of telling others how to post.
Glad you know to only expect conspiracies from Trump supporters
And interesting that when Trump’s words are repeated back to you guys, it sounds like conspiracies to you.
Because he’s crazy
TemporaryHansel: Democrats usually accuse Trump supporters of spreading conspiracy theories,but it seems they've taken over. It seems like Kamala's loss was very painful to cococandy... Babe is sprouting conspiracy theories everywhere Wtf?
There are some sort of talks you only expect from Republicans but now Democrats have completely taken over. It's surreal what loss can do to people.
Well The likes of Serena from the handmaid’s tale exist in real life.
They’ll lend their voices to uplift abusive men like Trump because they think it makes them appear non biased and “logical” hoping that somehow they’ll be exempt from his abuse . Especially if they’re American and plan to exist in America when trump’s final plans come to fruition. I have news for them.
She still has to deal with Russia circulating her nude photos on their prime time evening show as a humiliation ritual to her husband and potential president of America.
LeeSmart: The moment women like urself started make dis election a gender issue that was when sensible person in America started withdrawing from kamala's campaign. Seems like u were pained by Trump victory
Her existence as a woman already made it a gender issue for you guys. Notice how I didn’t mention gender in my post but you responded with “gender issue”? If she was 1/100th as bad as Trump, she wouldn’t even have smelled that campaign much less being a candidate. That’s the real gender issue. Men can be crass, disgusting or imbecillic and still get y’all’s support. That’s the real gender issue. Women can’t even dare be less than perfect or it’s a problem. And you’re talking about sensible people.
Will any of you support Tinubu if he stands at the podium and talks about people’s joysticks or pretends to be giving Mouth Action to a microphone? Will anyone support her if she’s credibly found liable for sexual assault by a court of law? But Trump can do that without consequences. Tell me more on how there’s no gender issue here 🙄
That fact that she had the guts as a woman to run for office is all you guys need in order to say she’s making it a gender issue.
I know none of this will penetrate your brain. I try anyway
EmekaA125: Harris Kamala ran a very terrible campaign that ended in shame. Too bad of her.
She ran the best campaign of any candidate in modern times.
She touched every demographic, used every media platform possible, addressed people like humans, didn’t mimic giving a Mouth Action to the microphone like Trump did. Her campaign spurred unprecedented voter registration and turn out.
The truth of how Trump won will come out one day. Let’s just say the rich just bought themselves a puppet in Trump and that’s all we know for now
I remember someone saying I was fear mongering when I said he was going to put immigrants in concentration camp but here’s his AG pick saying they’ll lock up children in cages and it will be glorious.
Long game? Totally agree. You can look a person in the face and see a summary of what they are about. No words needed. I dislike Putin immensely but when I look at him, I see a smart man. The subtle smirk he wears all the time tells you how much contempt he has for all of them. And they’ll all find it in due time. With all of us as casualties in the meantime 😔
Yes to future humiliations. This is just a bit to taunt Trump and remind him who’s calling the shots. You can look in Elon’s eyes and tell he’s a vacuous idiot who’s used to buying everything he wants and thinks this is business as usual. SMH
Honestly in the past I never used to concern myself with the inner working of whatever these megalomaniacs were doing behind closed doors. And I honestly wouldn’t have cared this time if it weren’t so obvious that America is no longer ours but Putin’s and Musk’s and Elon’s (maybe).
GloriousGbola: my opinion - this is all a long game for Putin.
remember what i said about how Putin wants revenge for the fall of the soviet union? and the humilation of a drunkard like yeltsin as a russian leader and western puppet?
trump is obviously compromised - musk too. several republican politicians are.
Putin has discovered that greed trumps ideology and all you need to get people to sell out their country is cash .
there is no telling what will happen next - but if russian state tv is publishing melania's nudes, then there is every possibility of a lot of US humilation in the future
as for trumps paymasters - the biggest problem western wypipo have is their pampered naviete. elon is dancing around with putin. he thinks putin is like western leaders. he thinks he is somehow insulated from falling out of a window or being disappeared or being poisoned if he is no longer of use.
GloriousGbola: nigeria brought peace to liberia and sierra leone. do you think if we had said not our business - nigeria first it would not have expanded to reach us?
during ww2 america said not our business as hitler and japan were expanding and taking over large swatches of the world. but eventually, japan bombed america
people want to relearn the lessons of the 1940s and 1930s.
that narrow minded mindset is like a rich man in a walled compound watching his neighbors get robbed and thinking, not my problem. eventually it will e your problem. [this actually happened to a friend of mine. he had a high walled compound, dogs and for months people living around him were being robbed. then one night he woke up with the robbers in his bedroom - and they told him - we worked to get into this house, and you better have something for us. now - it was his problem as well.
the same america and the west ensured that laurent gbagbo was kicked out. their quiet but firm stance stopped the gej administration from pulling off their own jan 6th with orubebe kicking it off.
today, russia is staging coups across west africa . during the last demonstration we had people waving russian or nigerian army flags . you think a trump admin will try to stop a russia backed coup ?
people like to hate on the west - well we are going to see a new world order thanks to trump and it is not going to be a pretty one.
It’s already happening.
Meanwhile Russia news outlets are out there saying Trump has obligations to them for helping him with the election. Do these people think Trump will put them or his paymasters first?
Should foreign policies gain more attention than local policies?
But it’s not Americans first though.
If it were he wouldn’t be proposing measures that’ll increase costs for Americans, take away affordable healthcare and veterans benefits who served the country.
It’s Putin his lord first, Elon and Thiel his masters second. How you people believe this man cares about Americans is wild
Shattuck: this is even the more reason why I dislike the wokeism of the democratic party, America already has gay rights why can't the democratic party focus on other things yet their priority is gay, transgender, brainwashing kids to transition from male to females, Germany, canada, the UK and other Western nations have gay rights also but you don't see it dominating their political conversations or policies.
It dominates the political conversations because that what you guys and republicans talk about.
Y’all been told a million times what the democrat agenda is. There are websites to read up on it. Her economic plans that were praised by Nobel laureates as the best they’ve seen in a while. Her plan for healthcare and capping prescription drug prices. Plans for new home buyers. Plans to cut corporate price gouging that’s helping the inflation. So many things to talk about and they do talk about it but once yall hear someone mention gay people, your reasoning flies out the window.
Democrats do not dominate political conversation with talk about gay people’s rights. Republicans bring it up every time to distract you people from the fact that they don’t have plans. They never do. In every election they’re always looking out for the billionaires. They know that if you’re distracted, you won’t notice that you’re being scammed. So they’ll bring this ish up each and every time and y’all fall for it like cats distracted by a red dot.
LGBTQ people’s issues isn’t even in the priority of America’s problems at all. You’ll never meet anyone in real life worried about this. Because it’s mostly a non issue.
Now that Trump won, nothing is going to happen about them. They’ll exist just like they have always existed. No kids were being forcefully transitioned in schools like he blatantly claimed. There’s nothing that is going to change about that. But he’ll tell you he’s solved the problem now that he’s president elect. And you’ll believe it.
The only thing that’ll change is that Elon (the crass unbeliever), Thiel (the gay godfather)and the other billionaires who just bought themselves a presidency will have more control and power than they ever had. The chances that we ever get our country back from them will be slim to none
It breaks my heart to see seemly smart people get bamboozled so cheaply and so publicly with their faith and beliefs. It’s like the Truman Show.
GloriousGbola: i actually think that nethenyahu may have allowed the october 7 attackes to happen so that they could ramp up ostilities and upset voters. because the american muslim community was very upset
but the thing is - everyone lived through trump 1.0. they saw trump move the us embassy to jerusalem. they saw how he treated abbas. trump is corrupt, venal and transactional. palestine has nothing to offer , so the best trump will do for them is - take these 100 square metres of land and fk off.
nethanyahu literally loves trump who was so easy to manipulate and who is a bully with no empathy for some poor sand niggers.
You’re not alone.There have been schools of thought suggesting he had something to do with Oct 7. At the very least they know he could’ve prevented it but was okay sacrificing his people for some eventual water front properties after they eliminate Palestinians.
As for Trump, he can do no in the eyes of some of the niggers. As long as he promises them they’ll have someone to hate it’s all good.
It would be comical if it weren’t the end of the remaining fragments of American democracy as it were.
