When did Trump repent?

Ask him!

Flangelo12:
Trump and his gang of pedos do not care.

They are here to shake up the whole world, turn commonsense and decency upside down, whilst enriching the most criminal without any backlash.

The world would learn a huge lesson at the end of this debacle.

+
The sickest part is the so called Christian gang worldwide who can support the protection of pedos.

If the last House Oversight Session with Pam Bondi is not enough for her to lose her job, what else will be?

The shame on display was overpowering. Overwhelming.

Every day of the Trump Administration destroys decades of American moral leadership of the world.

I doubt that any AG in even a third world country could ever have such a disgraceful outing.

Repugnant. Just repugnant.

The lyrics was about 25 years ago and demonstrated that our God is a God of second chance unlike your master who is unforgiving and unmerciful. See how a sensible person described the show in the link below and see that with our God you are not beyond redemption.

The sick thing about you people is the way you use Jesus / forgiveness / second chances as the reason for your endorsement of the worst perverts and racists.

The choice for Americans to make is clear.

Delusion is thy name. I dont think you know of the abominable lyrics of Kid Rock.

Do you know Why APC are scared of realtime electronic transmission of results? Because it will render all these defections totally useless.

By the election, only Makinde will not be in APC.

President Tinubu has proven to be a game-changer for Nigeria since 1999. His leadership, foresight, and determination are undeniable. Despite global economic challenges and inflation affecting even advanced countries like the UK, Nigeria's progress under his watch is notable. He's navigated us through recession, managed inflation, and improved foreign reserves. The naira's stability is a testament to his efforts.

Some might argue the impact isn't fully felt, but let's acknowledge the bigger picture: Nigeria's doing better with him at the helm. His focus and competency are key to our growth.

+
He is the worst by miles and the most corrupt as well.

Dogalmighty17:
You can keep polishing excreta but it still remains excreta. The sad, weak and pathetic attempts by water carriers of this government to defend and shine positive light on the most failed administration in the history of this country is just so sad.

+
I dont think the OP meant it in a positive way.
He meant like a lone man style dictatorship.

udede:
Check well bro. The spirit being with a lying spirit was permitted by Yahweh to arrange it. That spirit is not of God. Just like the one that was permitted to "work" on Job.

+
No. Yahweh started it by asking the question seeking to recruit the so called lying spirit which is just one of his angels. Just as he has angels of death and destruction.

Secondly that so called work done on Job was sadistic. And it reveals Yahweh as a callous sadist.

Oh thanks muchly!

Maeve7:
Dear Ms Bondi,

I’m writing to you as an American citizen, a former pastor, and the father of a daughter.

I spent today, as much of the nation, watching you speak before the House Judiciary Committee in a state of stunned disbelief, which surprised me, as I thought you’d reached a moral bottom many weeks ago.

I witnessed you posturing and protesting, feigning indignation in the face of reasonable questions you repeatedly refused to answer.

I looked on as you deflected and pivoted, performing the wildest verbal gymnastics to keep from providing the simple clarity that our elected representatives asked for and deserved—and wondered why anyone would do that.

I sat incredulous, watching you appear to lie with great ease, even perverse joy, seeming, to my ears, to contradict both irrefutable evidence and your own words in the past. It was a tour de force in distraction, a true masterclass in gaslighting.

And while a thousand thoughts ran through my head, when it was all over, I was left with a single question:

How does someone become Pam Bondi?

I’m not speaking about your education, your professional experience, or your career path, which are easily retrieved with a few keystrokes. I’m talking about the meandering road to losing one’s soul.

I wonder how an apparently intelligent human being finds themselves sitting in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of simple accountability.

I try to imagine how you, the person entrusted with stewarding the Law in the highest seat of power here, arrives at a place where that Law has seemingly become irrelevant.

Are the money and the power so intoxicating that they have rendered your conscience inoperable?

Has your journey been filled with a million small moral compromises that burdened you in the beginning, but slowly emotionally anesthetized you to the point that now you feel nothing?

Are you so beholden to the redacted man who enabled your ascension to this lofty space that you are willing to shield him from the litany of heinous sins that you must know well he is guilty of?

Maybe you don’t even have the answers.

Maybe you can’t explain it either, though I’m sure there’s a story you have to tell yourself to keep the self-loathing at bay and let you sleep at night, at least I hope so.

I see that you do not have children of your own. Perhaps if you did, you might see this all differently, I don’t know. It certainly shouldn’t take that, though.

But you are someone’s daughter, and I do wonder how that girl became the woman sitting there at that table today, so dismissive of other women who have survived trauma. I imagine there may be some answers there somewhere.

But as the father of a daughter, I want you to know that I fully detest what you are doing to so many other people’s children right now.

I abhor your callous disregard for the daughters who stood courageously before you today, whose eyes you did not have the dignity to look into; women whose black, cavernous hell you know full well, because you’ve pored over it countless times in words, photos, and videos that are still being concealed.

It sickens me to my core to know that thousands of survivors, girls and young women not unlike my daughter, have experienced unspeakable horrors and are finding in you, not a fierce and willing advocate, not a steadfast warrior who will deliver them justice, but an unsuspecting, shame-throwing avatar of the men who brutalized them.

And if you truly do care for survivors, then I’d like to hear how you justify your treatment of them. They deserve that. We all do.

I’m not sure what you believe in, but I am a person of faith, and my religious tradition tells me that we will all face accountability for our misdeeds and transgressions beyond this life, even if we evade them in this one. That possibility does provide a small bit of comfort, but I hope you don’t have to wait that long.

I hope that you will face a legal reckoning for any betrayals of our nation that you are guilty of, for the chaos you are willfully creating, and most of all for the sorrow you are exacerbating for the daughters (and the sons) throughout this nation who feel less safe and less protected.

I stand with and bear witness to those who are afraid because the Law seems to be refusing to drag the monsters out into the light, because people like you appear so willing to curate the darkness.

I hope whatever you got for your soul was worth it to you.

It sure as hell isn’t for the rest of us.

HOW COULD YOU WASTE SUCH ELOQUENCE ON AN OBVIOUS STREET SKANK PICKED UP PROBABLY IN A GUTTER BY TRUMP?

Watching that woman is quite enough to lose faith in humanity.

It was beyond sickening. She is puke-worthy.

And no, there isnt an iota of intelligence in her. She is a daf ft as a pole.

cococandy:
These are the same questions I have for all republican supporters but I couldn’t have said it as eloquently and succinctly as this man did.

They’ve been intentional ghouls since the inception of this administration. Reveling in cruelty. Lying compulsively, shamelessly and unabashedly. They are all Pam Bondi or worse. Because they have children and can’t even for the sake of their own children forsake a child moorlester. It’s the most bizarre thing anyone has seen in this century.

Thanks for sharing .

+
Sorry to say, but that woman strikes me more like a stri pper than anything else. It is the 8th wonder that someone like that could be AG.

When I think that a fellow Earth creature can look like this, one wonders what an alien one may look like.

hmmmm 450 prophets prophecied the same thing for King Ahab but it was still a lie arranged by demons to kill Ahab. Only Maichaia , just one man saw the conspiracy.

+
Arranged by what demons?
It was a lie arranged by Yahweh and his Angels in heaven.

2Ch And Micai'ah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;
2Ch 18:19 and the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another.
2Ch 18:20 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, saying, 'I will entice him.' And the LORD said to him, 'By what means?'
2Ch 18:21 And he said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go forth and do so.'
2Ch 18:22 Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; the LORD has spoken evil concerning you."

I dont keep Yoruba men as friends, I dont even employ them. I just prove them wrong and leave them.
Send an email and arrange where and when.

There you go, assuming I am Yoruba.

You make ridiculous assumptions.

Anyway I am not interested in meeting you cos I really think you are a scammer.

Fenrir:
My wife died of cancer 6 years ago and im married to an igbo woman now and I didn't do her traditions either and you believe whatever want. I dont care I know the truth.. get yourself to ikoyi and come see

The difference? 195 countries in the world and the Scandinavian countries are in the top 5 for most honest, least corruption, most equal and most law abiding in the world...

But Nigeria? Because of the men? Bottom 140-180.

+
Oh goodness.

So sorry about this.

I do live in Ikoyi now, so whenever is fine.

Fenrir:
40... born in the artic Norwegian territories where we take tradition seriously. Where you would not even survive just because of the sheer cold. Where it is illegal to leave your home without a rifle. Where it is illegal to give birth and Illegal to die. And I literally mean that, a woman has to leave to give birth and you have to leave to die.

Your culture?

+.
Honestly I don't get what your problem is.

Where is your wife? With you? If so what's all this long talk about?

That's assuming you are a man. Cos I seriously doubt everything you say.

Fenrir:
You dont practice your "traditions" you dropped all the brides families sides obligations and kept all the grooms obligations

What exactly is there to respect about a culture of lies?

+
How old are you?

Fenrir:
Respect for what exactly?

+
Traditions.

Fenrir:
No, its not and thats the lie you tell yourselves.... Read the following and stop ignoring it or you are admitting how morally and ethically bankrupt "you lot" are.....

Let’s stop pretending.

When people shout “Our tradition! Prostrate! Do full Yoruba wedding! Respect our culture!”
they always list what the groom must do.

They almost never mention what the bride’s family was originally supposed to do to deserve all that respect, bride price, and full prostration package.

If we are talking real old-school Yoruba custom (not 2026 selective memory), then “tradition” was a bundle:

If the groom’s side does X, Y, Z…
the bride’s family must also have done A, B, C.

You can’t demand one half and quietly delete the other.

Virginity = “lineage guarantee” (and the parents had duties here)

In old Yoruba custom, virginity wasn’t just a cute idea, it was family honour + lineage certainty.

There was asa ibile, the white cloth on the wedding night to prove virginity.
If she was a virgin, gifts and money went back to her parents in pride.
If not, symbolic shame (half-boiled yam, etc.) was sent instead.

Virginity was tied to good upbringing, proper monitoring, protection, and no secret boyfriends and baby daddies.

Meaning,
if you want to shout “our tradition!” about prostration & bride price, then the girl’s family were also obligated to.....

protect her from sexual abuse and exploitation
actually supervise her movements and relationships

insist on no sex before marriage if they want to use virginity as their cultural bragging right.

You cannot abandon all those parental duties, turn blind eye to “coded runs”, then still stand up on wedding day forming “we are traditional, prostrate for us.”

That’s not culture. That’s selective memory.

Proper upbringing & character, Ìwà, not just makeup.......

Traditional Yoruba marriage respected families that raised Omoluabi, good character.

The bride’s family was expected to,

raise her with discipline, honesty, respect, and home training

teach her how to live peacefully in another house, not how to weaponise drama
show that she is entering the man’s home as asset, not destabiliser

Old texts and studies emphasise that part of what groom’s family is “thanking” the bride’s family for (with owo orí, gifts, prostration) is the years of proper upbringing & moral training.

If you’ve never really raised the girl, grandparents did everything, or she basically raised herself on TikTok and church performances, then what exactly are we prostrating for?

Protection & supervision not throwing girls to wolves.....

Traditionally, there were clear systems......

alarina, go between and chaperones in courtship

structured visits
serious monitoring of who is courting the daughter and with what intention

If a grown man slept with an unbetrothed virgin, he was expected to pay and/or marry her there was some accountability......

Today?

many families don’t protect their daughters
don’t believe them when something happens

push them out early to “hustle”

then suddenly remember “tradition” when it’s time to collect list and bride price.

Again, you can’t throw away your side of the cultural duty, then resurrect it only when money and prostration enter the chat.

The bride’s “equipment” used to be their job, not the groom’s

Historically, the bride’s family were supposed to send her off properly equipped,

clothing
cooking tools
home essentials

things that show she’s ready to manage a home and contribute.

Now look at most modern lists:

“gas cooker, fridge, blender, full kitchen, generator, furniture…”

all dumped on the groom, while the bride’s family basically arrive with vibes, matching aso ebi and billing.

If we’re being honest,

Tradition = the bride’s family equip her to be an asset in that home.
Extortion = the groom fully equips their daughter and their own kitchen back home.

Pick one. Don’t call extortion “culture.”

Dowry (owo orí) was symbolic, not ransom.......

Old Yoruba custom:
dowry was often small and symbolic, and in many cases returned, to emphasise “we are not selling our daughter, this is just culture.”

Even where it wasn’t returned, it was still token-level, not “buy a mini-supermarket or no wife.”
Modern practice in many families?
Endless lists, extra bills on the day, “add something”, “Ibòmbo – we trained your daughter”, multiple unplanned levies.

Question,
If you truly trained her and truly spent on her, it will show in her character, skills, education, stability.
You won’t need to “over-compensate” on the list to prove it.

Ongoing support, not “collect and disappear”........

Traditionally, bride’s family didn’t just cash out and disappear,

they continued to support, advise, mediate, and guide the new couple

elders prayed, blessed, and sometimes corrected their own daughter when she was the problem,

Now?

Most families,

interfere when it benefits them
vanish when there is real problem
side their daughter blindly even when she’s wrong
still expect maximum respect + money flow + “in-law of the year” treatment.

Again, if we are using real tradition,
your role as bride’s family continues after the marriage. It’s not just “collect list & spray money.”

So what’s the actual point here?......

Not to insult Yoruba culture.
Not to say “women are bad” or “families are evil.”

The point is simple.....

You cannot demand full traditional obedience from a groom
when you did not fulfil your own traditional duties as the bride’s family.

If your daughter......

was not protected from abuse
was not supervised in courtship
was not raised with real Omoluabi character
was not properly equipped from your side

did not keep the “purity” you now weaponise
did not benefit from your ongoing moral support

…then be honest:

You are no longer operating full Yoruba tradition.
You are operating modern life + selective “tradition” for money and ego.
Fine. Life has changed. Nobody is perfect.
But then stop shouting:

“He must prostrate!”
“He must give us X, Y, Z because culture!”
“Registry alone is not marriage!”

If you want modern, do modern: registry + simple intro + mutual respect.
If you want tradition, then accept that tradition binds both families, not just the man.

Final questions for you.....

Can a family that didn’t uphold the traditional duties listed above still demand full prostration and heavy “list” with a straight face?

Shouldn’t we be honest that what many people call “tradition” today is edited tradition, mostly focused on what the man must pay and perform?
If submission is demanded from the woman, and prostration from the man, then where is the matching accountability from both families?

No insults, No tribal bashing
Just simple logic

This is a logical trap......

1) if you defend the current practice then you are admitting its not tradition

2) if you admit it is tradition then you accept the obligations of the bride's family

3) if you say "times have changed" then you have to stop demaning/expecting prostration/bride price

4) if you attack then you cant defend your own logic

5) if you ignore it you prove hypocrisy and fraud

+
What exactly is your problem.

Were you made to prostrate while seeking the hand of a wife?

Is this your annoyance?

Fenrir:
Interesting 🤔, you offer a philosophical debate but because its the legality of an illegal attitude in one specific people you run away or ignore.

+
What specific people.

Are you talking of the Yoruba?

For heavens sake there is nothing wrong with Yoruba tradition.

Prostrating is normal. It signifies respect for in laws and elders.

Fenrir:
Now go through the entire conversation between us.. go on and see who attacked first? Your petty ego took 2 words out of context "you lot" and you used them to try attack, didn't you little lady? And you are still doing it so this isn’t "stalking" its fair play BUT you are morally and ethically bankrupt and cannot take what try you give.

+
Alright.

If you are interested in philosophical conversations let's do that.

If not, please just forget me.

Worever I have done to offend you, I apologise. And I do this out of a sense of humour.

Fenrir:
Hey.....deepsight "Shallowgaze"
I made a keepsake for you.
So you always remember your most favourite person "on earth"

LordReed.... I have no choice but to ask you to see this. Did you see the attachment? What is that if not stalking?

Fenrir:
Hey.....deepsight "Shallowgaze"
I made a keepsake for you.
So you always remember your most favourite person "on earth"

+
Funny boy/girl.

Look forget all that. If you are interested in philosophical conversations, so am I.

Let's drop the petty things.
