Americans evaluated Bidens time vs Trumps time and they chose the time of Trump which was why he won all the swing states including Michigan Pennsylvania in the rust belt

Yes, they did and I think it is clear again from what happened this week alone, their evaluation was wrong.

But, no one disagrees about that evaluation, a point that you keep bringing up that you you think helps your case.
Does it really? No, it doesn't.
The question is the lack of education, lack of critical thinking and hatred for minorities that led them to that evaluation when most metrics say Biden was a better President than Trump esp. on the Economy.
But you have to be educated and/or reason without bias to know those metricas and then to take those into account.

Your argument seems to be, because Trump was elected that means that the things people who elected him believed about him were true or something to that effect.
Very weird analysis.
One of the worries of the framers and part of the reason they created the Electoral college was fear that the populace would elect a demagogue.
That seems to have happened.

raumdeuter:
Which of these 200 are mass shooters who were killed unfairly

Why don't you try writing a death penalty law which achieves your desired outcome and doesn't capture innocent people.
Take into account mental health laws, etc. etc. etc.

You post as if someone who never thinks holistically about the things you advocate.

descarado:
What if it's not the wrong person.
Like that child bride husband,what happens?
Put him in jail with tax payers money?

"What if"?

The cornerstone of the US Judicial system is the Blackstone Principle, "it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent person suffer".
You've turned it around to "it is better that ten innocent persons suffer than that one guilty person escape."

Benjamin Franklin even went further.
"it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer"

raumdeuter:
Why are Adam Lanza, Dylan Roof, James Holmes, Nicholas Cruz still alive? People who were caught in the act and who confessed to the act. Is it because they were wrongly accused?

What does that change the fact that because the Judicial system is imperfect, generally at a cost to minorities and the poor, that there are mistakes?

raumdeuter:
It's not just Biden, it's every past administration for the past 40yrs who watched as American manufacturing shut down and the people and communities who depend on them left behind

If you notice, it's why Trump won all the rust belt states. The middle states who depend a lot on manufacturing and who got affected the most by the loss of manufacturing jobs after they were deceived for long

These people believed and voted for past presidents who promised to bring these jobs back and didn't do it

And one of those past presidents was Trump.
What did he bring back?

They voted for him because he's a hustler who does what scam artists do. Talk big.
While people like Biden just get stuff done (CHIPS act).

Botragelad:
Lol, another Hamas cheerleader who’s totally unaware and loud at the same time. Your mess isn’t my problem. This guy really said, “People will be angrier at Israel” 😂😂

“GeNOcidE”? Nah, wiping out Islamist terrorists isn’t genocide, it's cleaning up the trash. Go ahead, cry harder.

You sound very aware and not loud.
That was sarcasm in case you missed it.

Enjoy whatever you think you are winning.

cococandy:
Grand larceny by the commander in thief

Lol.
Is it theft id there's noone to arrest you?

But, people are on this board spinning in circles defending his policies while he is chilling helping out his fellow oligarchs.
But, I'm still mad I missed out.

Just very very lucky,

Botragelad:
Not your concern but you are concerned about people getting angrier at Israel! 😂

Your comprehension seems shoddy just like your values.
Maybe find a Israeli thread to express you joy at them "winning" as they genocide an entire population and use Trump's government to stamp out dissent and instill fear in the US immigrant population.
While you are at it, figure out what you "win".
Try trolling somewhere else.

Botragelad:
Are you an Arab?

No, but I am a US and Nigerian citizen.
So, Israel "winning" at the expense of my values or the values of the US is not my concern.

Who can have confidence in anything happening at the white house right now.

Botragelad:
HAHAHA, all the anger at Israel hasn't stopped it from getting stronger! 😂😂 Islamists, leftists, and right wing anti-Semites can cry all they want, who cares?

Online noise means nothing. Reality is what matters, and in reality, Israel is winning. Enjoy watching Israel soar! 😉

Are you an Israeli citizen?

All the Trumpers, DId Trump win?
I know it'll take you a while to get your talking points.

cococandy:
Basically anyone that doesn’t kiss up to Satanyanhu’s arse while he tortures children to death.

Exactly.
I think this may backfire and make people angrier at the state of Israel.

Holy sh*t
Was in a meeting and Trump gamed the system.

Hey, SpaceX, Andorid17 and Basilico.
If ultra Trumpers like Kash Patel and Pam Bond are not investigating, talking about, and prosecuting people for what you have been raving about for years, whether it be the "stolen" election, 5g in Covid shots, the corrupt FBI, mind control chips in oat milk or whatever distraction right wing media has ginned up at the moment, it is definitely a phony conspiracy your mind has allowed you to fall for.

There is no deep state, Trump is the deep state. Republicans own all the branches of government and every means of investigation.
If there are no perp walks for any of these things, you guys should just shut down your accounts.

Just a friendly public service announcement.

basilico:
There were days a single working parent would raise their children, educate them,buy a house and retire in comfort.
How many are in gainful employment, not needing 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills.

Most of the posts from MAGAs on this thread about these tariffs have been similar to this.

The argument that somehow tariffing China so that things like Iphone production can come to the US will allow people to work 1 job takes a special amount of Economic illiteracy to make.

At least take some time and think through the idiotic things in your mind before you pen them and put it on full display for to world to see.

happney65:
Maybe he is RHINO. or what were they calling themselves that time.

Crazy people

Nutty people.
But, I am curious to see the spin now that it is a Trump Judge with the Restraining Order.

Thought this was an Onion headline.
It's not.
What until you read the definition of "antisemitism".

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced it will begin screening immigrant's social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The screenings will affect people applying for permanent residence status, and foreigners affiliated with educational institutions. The policy will go into effect immediately.

In a statement issued this morning, the Department of Homeland Security said it will "protect the homeland from extremists and terrorist aliens, including those who support antisemitic terrorism, violent antisemitic ideologies and antisemitic terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, or [the Houthis]."

How long before MAGA calls this Trump judge a Liberal.

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
The Court finds that maintaining the status quo is required to afford the parties the ability to develop a fuller record for the Court to consider the request for a preliminary injunction and other forms of relief, as presented in the Class Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, and to prevent the immediate and irreparable injury that may occur with the immediate removal of any Venezuelan alien subject to the Proclamation. In addition, the Court finds that immediate and irreparable injury will result to the Petitioners before the Respondents can be heard in opposition, thus requiring the consideration and issuance of this temporary restraining order ex parte.

Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, it is ORDERED THAT:
Respondents are enjoined from transferring, relocating, or removing J.A.V., J.G.G., W.G.H., or any other person that Respondents claim are subject to removal under the Proclamation, from the El Valle Detention Center; and
Respondents are enjoined from transporting such persons outside of Willacy County or Cameron County, Texas, without an Order from the Court.

This Temporary Restraining Order shall expire on the earlier of 5:00 p.m. (central time) on Tuesday, April 23, 2025, or by Order of the Court

Purple lights, lol. My nephew wants lights too, so I've told him he has to pay the electric bill in the house and he agreed. Plan is to learn to build for my super rig in the future sometime, so we'd be selling this build. He convinced me lights are a selling point.

We struggled getting a motherboard. One with a usb-c port we ordered from Ebuyer could not be delivered, and we'd already got the other components, so we've gone with what is available quick. Will definitely take more time to get the components we want for our next build. It might be an AMD. As GloriousGbola said, 13 and 14 gen Intel is crappy.

Yeah, purple lights and case. Anything for my niece and she's a budding coder,

Yeah, the led lights are a fraction of the cost of incandescent, so probably won't account for a huge change. But the processor and case fans may. It's an i5, so will be somewhat better with power/heat. I would say be cautious of resale values, computers can devalue. But, given these tariffs you may make out.

Yeah, it's always a balance in picking the right board.
Haven't researched the new gens. When I did mine I did intel because it made more sense for my itx build.

Good Luck and Enjoy.

GloriousGbola:
this here is one of the key differences of doing it in naija vs doing it in obodo oyibo

i just buy a laptop, max out ram and ssd , install the game stores and call it a day. yes you can order but there is just too much risk you will pick some wrong items and be stuck

Right, would sux as I love building my own desktops. Those clean monster rigs in the smallest itx case.
I give you guys mad respect though, I wouldn't even know where to begin buying legit components in Naij.
Even just buying ram and ssd to max out the system.

Love when someone tells me something is original that is soo clearly a knockoff.

Android17:
At no point did I mention Kash Patel and left. A reasonable person would have pressed me further on my vote of no confidence in him, but you're too demented to pretend you are reasonable.

We can all see that you are an osu; an outcast with a very itchy butthole that you allow other osus fvck you. You degenerate sodomite.

Kash Patel is a MAGA nutter. If you think Patel isn't being too aggressive that is a sign that what you want is super nutty.

What is up with people like you and all these homosexual references?
It's fking weird.
You should really sort out your sexual issues or your down low homosexuality.

budaatum:
I'm building around an Intel® Core™ i5-12400F for my nephew. We ordered an ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI D4 Intel H610 LGA 1700 micro ATX from Ebuyer, but they messed us around so we went back to Amazon like we've done for everything else.

I'm sticking to Amazon from now on for their returns policy, and Ebay because of paypal protection.

Nice setup. I know there are tradeoffs, but have you considered a MB with a usb-c port.
Not sure if you have a Microcenter in the UK, but that's one of my favorite stores and where I get a ton of my components.
Also, not sure about reliability now, but I got some components from Newegg as well.

Sounds fun for you and your nephew.
Was planning to do something similar with my niece with my older itx setup. But she says she wants a purple glitter case with purple lights.. There goes a Saturday, sanding a case and cleaning my spray gun. should have closed my mouth.

GloriousGbola:
it is really a late stage capitalism problem

i mean we can see elon musk who spends all his time on twitter. or running around in the white house. so what time does he actually have to actually work? but greed is good so let ceos keep finding ways to increase their wages while reducing the wages of everyone else

the oil and gas industry in nigeria has some of the highest paid workers. those workers salaries drive the economy where they are based. but when a company like shell or texaco divests, the first thing the new owners go for is killing the unions, so they can reduce wages and redirect any savings to themselves and their cronies. now here is the thing. these owners are already rich. they have already set themselves up. so any extra money they are squeezing out of the company from contract staffing, from awarding jobs to family members - it is not going into the economy. it is going to pandora.

this is how you slow down the economy. this is also what happened in warri. when shell was in warri, the money flowed and the city thrived. shell has divested and nigerians have taken over. you will see the nigerian owners in pages of magzines as oil big boys, but the wealth is concentrated among them. it is not flowing down.

this is where america is today. most of the money is in the hands of a few who are only interested in growing it even more . Nigerians are told that abacha had a mental disease. well do do American billionaires. it is never enough for them . they want more and more and more even at the peoples expense - just like our politicians

i literally watched a ceo who raum knows of build a thriving company and kill it with his greed. same energy. the money is never enough.

You're right.
The game is rigged.
Problem in the US is that we can't have that proper discussion.
Too many people have economic magical thinking.

Android17:
When no one is fighting with you, you still find ways to start fights like an Ishmaelite. What is wrong with your mental health, Ije?

Are you chemically imbalanced?

What is it about people with itchy buttholes & picking fights with everyone?

You've spent pages spewing your nuttiness here.
You know you've gone off the deep end when you think Kash Patel is too left.
Oga, go rest.

What are you building?

I assume everything on aliexpress is fake.
But it is possible to get fooled even on Amazon as they sometimes cross inventory.
Buy from a place you trust or a place with a good return policy and thest the device.

Picked up the s25 ultra a few days ago, almost want to get a fake to see how good it is.
Crazy thing is some won't even care.

Omofaye99:
You are right that this is one of the problems. While their move looks good, it also affect the economy as many companies struggle to absorb higher labor costs, leading them to cut back on employees or even relocate operations.

That is a conversation that the US has to have.
Do people actually want cheaper good/services or do they think people should be paid a living wage.

cococandy:
Funny you should say that. Remind me which party is advocating for revised child labor laws? So that more kids can be out of school and working to “earn their worth”. Hint: it’s the Republican Party!

This is from the guardian. I encourage you to look more into bills passed by republicans to remove child labor protections

I’m not in support of Chinese manufacturing practices. Not saying the USA has the best practices but definitely better than them. And do you know why the higher USA standards exist? Because of bleeding heart liberals. You make fun of us for caring too much but then brag about labor protections we have in the country. These protections were created after the snowflake-always-miserable-constantly-crying liberals fought for them.

Sounds like you want the same things we want. But you have to stop getting in your own way. We could have the American manufacturing you want but that would require strong unions, taxing the rich, and lots of regulations. All things Republicans hate.

Their message is so discordant.
Depending on what they are arguing the will argue for completely contradictory things.

cococandy:
There’s so much to unpack in this post. Sorry for the long post.

1)so you’re okay with more expensive products as long as they are made in America? Right now, The only way to keep manufacturing jobs here is to force people to accept goods at very expensive price points. According to you guys, the economy was terrible under Biden and people are suffering. Your solution is to make the things they need even more expensive. How’s that for a solution?.

2) Other countries didn’t make buying from America hard. America made buying from itself hard. If American minimum wage is 10x the next trading partner, whose fault is it that the trading partner would be seeking more affordable options? We have this massively inflated currency that we force other countries to trade with. It’s to our benefit. But We can’t turn back and pretend that their currencies being weaker than ours doesn’t have an impact on how much more expensive buying from us is. I’m no economist but isn’t this obvious? Someone with a degree in international economics should correct me if I’m wrong please.

3) Now let’s talk about how I really feel about American manufacturing and jobs here. Because you’re either making assumptions about me now or conveniently forgotten that I’ve in the past spoken out about corporations shipping jobs abroad due to greed and maximizing profits. To which you whipped out your classic defense of greedy corporations and how profit is the ultimate holy grail. We could have manufacturing here if corporations would take a pay cut.

5) it’s rich that you suddenly care about American jobs. I thought no one owed anyone else a job? Wasn’t that your response to the mass layoffs? I digress but it can’t be ignored so I had to point it out.

6) I would love a boost in American manufacturing if done correctly. Putting tariffs first. Causing a crash in the market and hike in prices with no alternatives yet is a silly way to go about it.


7) Do you know there’s a world in which manufacturing happens in America, workers are paid fairly and the products don’t have to cost an arm and a leg? The only trade off would be that the companies don’t get to take in gargantuan profits with each quarter being better than the last. They would make good money still but that won’t satisfy their greed and knowing you, you’d rather support suffering for more expensive products than for billionaires to take a pay cut. So if you’re not in support of a system where we can make this happen, then you just like Trump are not yet serious about bringing manufacturing back to America.

💯💯

It's seems you don't understand what the current president is working on, the country was on a life support during the Biden presidency and the only solution now is to reset the country into the path of greatness and that is what he is doing. We shall witness greatness like never before trust me.

Greatness like never before... lol

Hey, have you touched a woman yet?

raumdeuter:
Trump is still a billionaire and now 2 time president, You screamed all these during the campaigns and Americans ignored you and voted for him twice

This makes his point.
He failed his first time. And he's failing again.
Yes, people voted for him. But, that says more about the people voting for him and his ability to fool them than his success in office.
