I'd prefer if Trump was able to hash out deals to get his confirmations through.
We still have policy contentions coming. For instance, when DOGE come with their recommendations, the Senate will push back.
He has to pick his battles.

That said, I appreciate that Johnson and Thune are leaving all options on the table.
There's still like 60 days to go. So there should be some horse trading, dialog, and deal making before the confirmation process begins.

Gaetz as AG will be so cool though. I'd have taken Paxton. But I'm sure they'd protest that pick as well.
Exciting times.
I want to see raids, perp walks, mugshots, sentencing. I want to see eight, nine figure fines
What they've done to Guiliani, Jones, Stone, Weisselberg, Bannon, Navarro, Flynn.
I want there to be like two dozen cases where everyone can comment that the Trump administration destroyed their personal and professional lives. There must be a reckoning for 2016-2024.
So I'm pleased by news stories like NBC saying top DOJ and FBI are talking to lawyers.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/doj-fbi-officials-reach-lawyers-potential-trump-revenge-prosecutions-l-rcna179737
These baboons wheeled out the wife of a SCOTUS justice before the J6 committee.

Trump should do his best to get his AG pick in.
I don't see what the issues are with the other so-called problematic picks. Hegseth is Ivy League who got a job at Bear Stearns and he voluntarily left the very lucrative world of finance to fight in the War on Terror. Noem is a governor. I would not condone Tulsi and RFK slander.

Can anyone imagine someone writing this type of post who wasn't insane?
I find it so amazing you aren't even American and I'm sure have never stepped foot in the US, yet you're so determined to attempt to ruin people's lies over false information you've picked up in right wing US propaganda in service of a Perpetual Liar.
There are going to be some crazy scary times ahead.

Ebenezer2021:
You're a US obsessed kid resident in Nigeria who wishes and dreams of US.
I can help get you to the US
oh I get it now.
You're a Lagosian bothered about the US governance.
I'll reply you next time when you grow up and get a visa

This post.
A bunch of Stupid mixed with Arrogance.
The guy who can't help himself get to the US, said "I can help get you to the US"

FYI:
You see that blue book looking thing in my Profile Picture?
It has the words Passport and the words "United States" written on it.
That's a US Passport.
A Passport trumps a Visa.
That also means I'm a citizen of the US.
Hope that helps you.

That was sort of my point, they're not totally captured, as such they are the better option, and can still be pushed to do the correct things.
Compared to the death Cult that is the GOP, that wont even acknowledge climate change, because it would be bad for oil corpos. The heatwave in Nigeria in my state was deadly this year, I can't begin to imagine how worse next year will be.

That's the thing in a 2 party system, you can't do or fix anything by simply going third party.
You find one party that closely aligns with your views and work with them in a harm reduction sense and push them to your beliefs.

Look at how young rightwingers and groypers infiltrated the GOP, and pushed their politics from Neocons to whatever it is right now, and how successful they've been at it.
I hope the leason they learn from this loss isn't going to be, we just weren't bigoted enough and try to capture an imaginary demographic of people who want republican lite policy and messaging.

x100. But given Dems, will probably do that.

Ebenezer2021:
the point is Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States of America.
He'll rule over the US for the next 4 years and deport illegal and undocumented migrants like you back to Africa.
This statement alone is enough to give you insomnia

Then maybe you'll have a clue.

You seem to like making an ass out of yourself.

😂😂😂 the enjoyment I'll have for this kind of rants for the next 4 years will be pure fun. You actually think RFK Jr shouldn't take a hamburger EVER because he wants people to be healthy.

Yes, it's called living by example to change people's behavior.
The same reason Biden wore masks everywhere during the Pandemic.

I can't with you.
I'm glad you aren't anywhere near Governance.

Ebenezer2021:
you're an idiot and a dumb ass.
That's a thread I created 4 years ago and you just confirmed your dumbness by referencing it to this thread.
Now I understand how slow your brain is and I'm not surprised by your political preference.
Nitwit

So, 4 years ago you needed 35k to cover your "serious issues"?
And now, 4 years later you're a Nairaland Billionaire?

The point is that people in glass mansions shouldn't throw stones.
It has always amazed me that the most destitute here are the first to bring up other people's wallets.

They also went to a UFC where Jon Jones won and proudly proclaimed

Democrats. Elections have consequences.

This post and picture is a pure example of Contradictions.
You have the HHS secretary who said he wants to ban preservatives and make America healthier posing with McDonalds.
The Working Class Champion on a Private jet with the wealthiest Person on the planet.
And Jon Jones who just bashed someone's face in proclaiming he is a Christian.

Damn, Republicans are stupid people.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you're definitely a bot!
you didn't even answer to support your party and decided to call it a rant because you don't have anything of value to add😂 Point proven!
And the grab her by the psy quote - I hope you know Trump owned casinos and even had hundreds of gfs and went through 3 wives😂 you actually think someone like that would come out holier than thou like that - the celebrities you worship are no different. A president is not valued by his holiness but by his achievements and competence

No point going back and forth with someone who just pulls stuff out of his ass.
I've done this dance with you. You make stuff up get called out and then disappear.

Just google Democrats and Middle Class and do some reading.. a lot of it.

He said Trump's achievements and competence. Bwaahahhaah

Thanks for asking!!!
It is actually a movement that started in Arkansas, Iowa, New Jersey and New Hampshire (the last 2 states are Democrats!) to make it easier for kids from 14 to 17 years old to work longer and later – and in occupations that were previously off-limits for minors to allow young adults to develop their skills in the workforce.”
In the 8 states that tried to re-enact it - they were losing almost 46% of their workforce in the manufacturing, agriculture and mining business to white-collar jobs in the city so they wanted to ensure the young generation could develop skills like working in the farms with permission from their parents and for extra working hours if they wanted to. The articles made it look like they were forcing poor kids to work when in fact they were trying to ensure legacies in the deep South don't die out because when this kids grow to 18 they lose interest in actual farm work and blue collar jobs. The law also ensured the young adults are still paid minimum wages or even more if it's a company.


Also for the abortion thing - if you actually understand what abortions actually entail - you'd know how evil it is

This post is nuts.
They wanted children to develop skills in wait for it... the mining industry
This mofo regurgitated this from ChatGPT without even thinking it through.

This is what you are supporting.
This is what Republicanism is and makes you.

IMAliyu2:
That's my critique of the Democratic party, they claim to be the party of the working class, but halve of them are bought by capital interest.

A system where the richest among us basically get to dictate our politics in what is suppose to be a democracy, is what I'm against, and I hope it's made illegal or impossible, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Yes, half the Dem Party is, while 100% of the Republicans are.
Dems fought against Citizens United which created these dark money pacs.
Dems are for public financing of Campaigns to take out the billionaire class from elections.
What are Republicans for that would make anyone think they want the richest out of politics?

You're critique sounds like what the Palestinians in Michigan just did.
They were mad that the Dems weren't pushing hard enough to stop the War in Gaza so they elected someone who would allow Israel to do more than that.
Trump just nominated Huckabee who doesn't believe in the 2 state solution as Israel ambassador and Stefanik who believes Israel should get everything they want for total victory as UN ambassador.

At times you cut off your nose to spite your face.
Dems aren't perfect in this regard but light years better than Republicans.

Illusioneffect:
The fact you’re quoting Alex Finch from AP the same person that was part of the people who claimed Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian spy shows how stupid you’re and little you know about mal-information. If you actually want to know the reason why Republican are loosening the grip on child labour laws you would but you don't want to escape your bubble. Like I've always said I'm not even a Republican - I just believed all political parties have big flaws of but you're a Democrat who believes Dems are for the working class and you can't even defend your party, isn't that hypocritical and senseless. Like I've been saying you're a bot who just repeats what your party wants you to think. Think for yourself for once in your life. Your party said killing unborn babies is awesome and your wiring tells you you should believe that. You can't even explain why Dems are for the working class because you haven't been programmed to explain

That you think there is a rational why anyone should loosen child labour laws is obsoletely nuts.
Supporting Trump makes you more of an objectively terrible person.

The rest is your fluff filled ranting.
But as usual everything comes down to your "religious" view of Christianity.
It's Sunday, open a Bible, read the New Testimony and then try to bridge the chasm between what Christianity actually is and your support of Trump.
Or maybe you can point me to the parable of "Grab her by the Pu$zy"

Ebenezer2021:
you're a fool and you know absolutely nothing about US politics.
Elections has come and gone and the right person has emerged.
You should be more worried about work your life out of poverty than Donald Trump that care less about your existence

And who are you?
Oh this is you:

I had to post it here on this section for wider views.
The Phone's model is Tecno Droipad 7D

1Gb Ram
it's just 7 months old and I bought it at the price of 32,500 and I'm willing to sell it at the rate of 35k
Interested buyers should Send me a DM
Location is Uyo but I can waybill it to wherever you are.
Really wanna sell it, got some serious issues to settle and I'd be grateful if you get it from me.
Thanks

The guy who created a thread trying to hawk a 35k Tecno Tablet on Nairaland to settle "serious issues" is talking about someone getting their life out of poverty.
35k ke? Isn't that the amount I tipped the driver who took me to the airport?
I can't with this thread sometimes.

Klass99:
Really?

This is one narrative I have refused to buy into over the years. Of what benefit is my physical presence when it won't solve their health or financial challenges?

We just follow norms like zombies without critical thought or questioning why. When one of my parents started mounting pressure on me to visit home so they could see me, I told them I spent 25 years of my life with you before leaving home, you know what I look like and I know what you look like.

That same parent once said they don't see me but they feel my impact from miles away due to how I support them financially without fail on a monthly basis. Which made me realise you can do right, do good and do well by your folks without being physically present.

Children were always meant to grow up, leave the nest and make something of their own lives. I don't get this emotional blackmail people put out there about visiting or seeing parents often so they won't feel lonely and they will live long. Story for the gods, when it is your time to die you will die and it won't be because of loneliness from children's absence. It was simply time for you to go.

Parents need to get a life outside of their children and not make children the be all and end all. Spouses should also learn to be friends and companions for those later years when the children are gone. We are all going to stand alone and give account of our individual lives when this earthly life is over, we won't be asked to give account as a family, so kini big deal?

This sounds very heartless.

Illusioneffect:
And the fact you think Democrats are for the working class is just so stupid when 80% of US billionaires sponsored her campaign and have been doing so for years and just because Elon Musk decided to go against the system who then tried to kill his businesses because of his political affiliations you guys cry fowl🤦🏾‍♂️. The economy is the best ever for the US and the only people profiting from it is the wealthy class and not the middle class and you still think it's the Democrats that are for the working class.
The only company in the top 15 wealthiest companies who didn't donate to the Democrats is Tesla and you actually think the Dems is the party that cares for you😭 you're in a bubble and you should sincerely come out of it

I forgot you have little understanding of US politics.
That you think Republicans care about the working class says it all.
Google Trickle Down Economics.
Or better yet try to find any bills the Republicans have passed in the last 20 years that benefit the lower or middle class.
Or look at their push to kill labor unions which led to the growth of the middle class.
Or their push to kill overtime.
Or their push to kill workers protection regulations
Or their resistance to increase the minimum wage
Or the deregulations for Wall St.
Or just look at their push to loosen child labor laws in favor of business.
All these policies do one thing. Favor business profits over the workers.

You sound like a politics neophyte and a political illiterate.
I can't take you seriously.
You should get a US Politics for Dummies book to figure out what party believes what.

It's a skit. Or did you think all those cameras recording him were just there.

I sincerely don’t give a fck about Nigerian politics 👍🏾 I only supported him just because I know him personally and I know he had great intentions for Lagos

Yeah, of course you don't care about Nigerian politics. The only country you are a citizen of.
It's an easy answer to deflect from the cognitive dissonance in wanting the US Government to run like Nigeria's, when you know Nigeria is struggling because how the Government is run.

But keep on with your hopes of an Autocratic US Government where the wealthiest people use the government as a means to get wealthier just like Nigeria.

You should sit with your thoughts on what good Government looks like and ruminate over them until they are at least consistent.

Ijebos our resident idiot is very happy with bluesky because it allows censorship.
Snowflakes like him are crashing the platform.

While you're on a forum that allows "censorship" as well.
Or did you think all the times you were banned and the fact Bemeruca is on his 4th username was just because.

Cognitive Dissonance and Trump Nutters are like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

raumdeuter:
So why will you leave the good blue states with free healthcare, low crimes, public safety, top education and those things liberals claim happens in their state

Everything you write screams that you surround yourself with a certain set of people.

Free healthcare? Who gets free healthcare? Most people's healthcare are subsidized by their company.
If you have enough resources you can create an enclave even in a place like Arkansas.

My boy lives in Lagos, sends his kids to private school in the US and comes back for his yearly checkups.
My g/f lives in Lagos and gets US health care provided by her job.

Esp. with remote work, it makes it easier to live in a less expensive place.

You really need to expand your mindset. You seem so limited in your thinking, exposure and education.

I belong to the "Old School" when girls knew and cherished their responsibilities, when guys (your friends) recommend girls for a keep due to her character and manner, when older women were ran checks at your back on girls you Nicodemusly brought home, etc.

So sorry, to disappoint you. I don't belong to a generation that s.ex is the rule.

In those days, some girls took pride in keeping his man's place well-kempt.

You should reevaluate some of this stuff.

Everyone should expect to date someone of Good Character, that is if you yourself have one.
The energy you give off is what you'll attract.

But every relationship is unique and and roles should be determined by what works for the couple.
Get to a place where you can take care of yourself(as everyone should be able to) and then see what type of woman you value.
A woman who genuinely values you will hold you down in more areas than what you are describing.

The one most infuriating part of Trump's rise is how many people have eschewed Expertise and thrown their faith into one person without much.
It's absolutely scary to think about.

cococandy:
But when you tell them Trump is planning to be a dictator, they’ll say you’re a conspiracy theorist.
The man literally said it and it looks like he’s going to do it.

These ones really think this is a game of football where on party won and gets bragging rights. It’s people’s lives and livelihoods. Not Arsenal and Manchester United. So childish.

Apt description. It's like a sporting event.
Must defend my side at all costs. If cheating helps them win, oh well.
They even use terms like "We".
Who's "We"?

cococandy:
This is the cycle every time.

For the last 50 years, republicans will ruin the economy and democrats step in to fix it. That’s why it’s obvious anyone who said they’re voting for Trump for the economy is either a big fat liar, a band wagoner or someone with the memory of a fish.

Republicans on average always have net negative job growth and all the negative markers of a failing economy. If they are so good at leading, the republican states won’t be the lowest rated in education, highest In poverty and lowest in healthcare access. What they want is to keep holding onto their hate and voting that way while benefiting from economic prosperity that California and the likes bring to the country.

If only everyone could live strictly under the govt they voted for.

It's the same cycle.
People expect people who don't believe in Government or Expertise to run Government well.
Just look at his incompetent pics to lead Government agencies.

He's not even President yet and it's been turbulent.
We are in for another 4 years of turbulence, drama and chaos.

I assume it isn't that's why you japa'd to the US right?

Until you were educated about Obama the great corporate socialist

When you refuse education you would get taught outside

I think we've seen this movie before.
Less regulation, more coporate socialism in terms of bailouts because of course banks are too big to fail.
Let the Casino continue. Heads, bankers win. Tails, bankers win.

Read it slowly again. Use your fingers it may help.
And this time start with the Less Regulation .

Less Regulation then
More corporate socialism because of bailouts
Why? Banks are too big to Fail.

So, if Republicans didn't kill regulation there would be no need for more corporate socialism.

Maybe you should ask ChatGPT to explain it to you because Reading Comprehension seems to hard for you dumb ass.

I guess Trump's policies are already working.
You can't be taxed for overtime if you don't have overtime.

raumdeuter:
You were wailing about bailout and corporate socialism that Obama did.

I'm sure that's how your feeble mind read that post.
Obama did corporate socialism otherwise the Banking sector would crash because Republicans killed regulations on Banks.
So, for you it's the firefighter who was forced to pour the water that you have the issue with, not the arsonists who set fire to the regulations.

Go back to your sand box and play with the other children there.

raumdeuter:
Did Obama do the corporate socialism in terms of bailouts?

Yes, because another Republican, Bush, deregulated and crashed the Economy.
So, Obama had to make the best of bad choices and bailed out the banks to save the WORLD.
They put the regulations back, Dodd-Frank, etc.
He was so successful the US came back to what it was during Trump's 1st term.
Trump came, deregulated again and not only crashed the economy because of his actions during covid, but caused bank runs because of the deregulation.
Biden again had to clean it up.

Now only someone without an inkling as to what has transpired in the US Economy would ask such a stupid question as you did.
But no one here would call you an intellectual or Economically literate.

Undilutedme:
Hello, Nairalanders. Good morning, I’m going to be short.

I stay in Ondo and I just finished my youth service and currently, I’m staying with long time friend(We’re splitting the rent) till we are able to find our way. Something happened last week Friday that has brought a little misunderstanding (We don’t flow like before) and I want your opinion.

Okay, so I went to my work, I work from 8-5, sometimes 6 and that day, my girlfriend called me and said she was around the house and wanted to wait and see me, I told her it was fine that I would be back soon. I went back later to the house and I met her, my friend wasn’t around then. The house was very neat, but I knew she was the one who swept it, so I didn’t ask. But one talk led to another and she told me it was that my friend that told her to get broom and sweep the room. When she said it, I wasn’t so cool with it because I felt he didn’t have that right to tell my girlfriend to sweep the room. Even if she wanted to sleep it, I should be the one to tell her and not my room mate. I told him and he didn’t see anything wrong with it and insisted that I didn’t like it and he shouldn’t do it next time, because I found it a bit disrespectful to myself and my girlfriend. Since then, he hasn’t been so cool, we talk but not like before. Did I overreact? Do you think it’s okay or wrong for my roommate to tell my girlfriend to sweep the room?

NB; I do not tell my girlfriend to sweep the room when my roommate is around, so it doesn’t bring “see finish “ so, she’s never swept in his presence before, but she does it when he’s not around.

Also, he has his girlfriend that comes to the house too and I have never told her to do anything like that before. So, what do you guys think?

He had absolutely 0 right to speak to your g/f like that.
He doesn't respect her and he doesn't respect you.
In fact your g/f probably doesn't(well shouldn't) respect you much either right now.
Is she shared property? Wtf?

He'd be apologizing to her or he'd see the demon inside me.
No two ways about it.

Time to move and begin to respect yourself so your friends respect you as well.
