Republicans have done a masterful job. They have convinced people with minimum power to agree to aggregate power to those with much much more power. They are going to be studying this in history books.
raumdeuter: I think the 6 SCOTUS judges and their law clerks know enough and understood the issues perfectly and left the lower courts to take their own decisions in determining what is official and what is unofficial
The SCOTUS will not be differentiating of the millions of possible scenarios what is official and what is unofficial. Let attorneys and lower judges determine that
Who do do you think will be ruling on whether something is an official act or an unofficial act. SCOTUS. You do understand that right?
raumdeuter: Then its left for the lower court to decide if he used his powers in the way Sotomayor is suggesting.
The simple thing is there are protected official acts and unprotected unofficial acts
or does Sotomayor expect the SCOTUS to say All President acts are NOT covered under immunity? Then that is opening a different kettle which might include the killing of Osama Suleimani, Zarqarwhi etc where all former POTUS are going to face criminal proceedings
To you which of these will be right?
All President acts are covered under immunity or All president acts are NOT covered under immunity
I think Sotomayer and her team of top law clerks are capable of understanding the issue and fashioning solutions that doesn't include your straw man. A ruling could have been fashioned that included a carve out for corrupt use of official acts which would be determined by a Jury. That would be more in fashion with no man being above the law.
budaatum: I have never lived in Israel nor Palestine, and nor have I ever experienced what those who live there experience. Judge for yourself if I understand or not from what I've posted on the subject and I will live with your judgement.
I don't love the US at all, and nor do I have any interest in going there not to talk of living there amongst the dumb fuqs that scare you who live there in a nation that had to fight war to teach itself to hold the truths it claimed were self-evident, that all men are created equal.
They have this thing called an amendment that lets them carry guns for christsakes, but they want to ban the pill! The ignorance scares me, so I'd rather remain where I am, thank you very much, watching and learning about you from afar.
Love America my ass! And I now suppose I'd see you switch and give me the "if you hate America" version, which I don't.
You can understand it to a degree, but I'm sure visiting it would enhance your understanding.
I visited France in high school to better understand the culture just so I could speak better French.
I'm Nigerian, spend a good amount of time in Nigeria, but understand my knowledge about it is incomplete as I don't actively live there. So, when I want to understand something better esp. about the culture, I call my boys there. I'm ok acknowledging that. Why is this something that is even in discussion? It's a truism.
bemeruca: Your original claim was I was spreading propaganda that it is a black church, then you showed photos of whites who were in the church to see trump but may not be members of the ch urch to disprove it is a black church on a Saturday.
bemeruca: Your original claim was I was spreading propaganda that it is a black church, then you showed photos of whites who were in the church to see trump but may not be members of the such to disprove it is a black church on a Saturday.
And you accused others for spreading propaganda.
This conversation: Me trying to explain to a white person what "Black church" is. Not doing it with your wannabe white man ignant ass.
budaatum: I don't waste much time though with rather lazy "maths is racist" or "you don't live here" logic, because that's just brain dumbness.
There seems to be an emotional underpinning why you can't let this go. Is truly asinine to argue you can understand something without experiencing that thing first. It's such asinine logic, it gives me a headache.
If you love the US so much, get a ticket to the US and visit some cities. At least it'll get you on the path to a fuller understanding of the country.
That's the church, everything about their culture is black. Because whites came in to see Trump in the church does not mean the church isn't black.
He went there on a Saturday not Sunday. Your TDS is severe budaatum 🤣 look in your mirror, you will see stupid 😎 Everything in the post below shows how reality and reasoning cease to exist for some people when Trump is involved.
A black pastor who was fired by his congregation and who was then allowed back temporarily by a court, invited Trump to his church building to speak. Trump spoke on a Sat, where there was no Service. Trump had to fill the Church with white people because few black people showed up. And even still the church was not filled. Trump did not go to a Black Church. As Church is just not the building but the community that encompases it. He held an event in a Black Church building.
WhizdomXX: Omo this life shaa, (pauses for effect) If Bibi didn't allow UNHRWA food and financial aid access to Gaza, they will call it suffocation and genocide. Now he's allowing both, they say he's trying to prolong the war so he can continue killing people. 2-state, 1-state. I only agree with you that the Palestinian authority needs to be restored and that's why Hamas needs to be eliminated first.
You're arguing the paradigm Israel has set up as if there are no other options. The Palestinian Authority could have taken control over Gaza. But of course that would be too much like a contiguous government of, yup, a state, giving credence to the 2 state argument. And you do know that Bibi has been trying to stop UNRHWA from providing any aid to gaza at all.
You are also arguing with the wrong person. Those are things that Netanyahu has said.
And the minute the war ends, Netanyahu will lose power and most likely face a trial. He has every incentive to continue to fight.
Lutherblaq: Can a tooth with a large hole be cured without extraction?
Asking for my kid bro
If that's the wisdom tooth, most people just remove them with no impact. It's the hardest teeth to clean because of position. Outside of that, looks like it may need a root canal. Not sure how much it would cost in Naij, but it is the expensive option. Dental work is generally expensive. You should tell ur brother he should get used to taking care of his teeth. I Floss, Rinse with Mouthwash, Brush 2x a day (waterpik instead of flossing in the morning) and still get cleanings 2x a year. My dentist suggested to brush last and just spit out, but not rinse after brushing. Allows the toothpaste to work in your mouth.
benalvino3: lmao... he was talking about police escort to go and buy a cigarette hahahaha
From Gras (food and drinks with Owners (partners, man and woman, the female owner was amazing and overly hospitable, comped all our food and drinks again, showed us the club under Gras, and tried to get me to buy one of her cars at the dealership under that)) to a table at Sza Sza, to a table at the Library to a table at Vibe. I wonder if you could even get into SzaSza let alone get into it at 1 am without waiting in line.
budaatum: Actually, it is not the style of forum the owner wants. The owner even recently fired a mod for not cleaning out the degenerates, which just goes to show how difficult cleaning degenerates is when they can very easily log back on with an alternative monicker.
But if you have any suggestions for Seun on how to clean the site of degenerates, I am certain he'd be delighted to hear from you.
I am on another forum, a tech one with a very active Politics thread. It is nothing like this, not even close. Others have figured it out. If the owner wanted it do be better, it would. I usually give all things Nigeria a handicap, not on this.
But, you never answered my question. Did you find Benalvino a better member of this community once you guys mended fences?
MentalCase98: Oh shut up you boring fool. I’m in bed after a king day relaxing and using you, my cute little dancing monkey, to have some fun as usual.
With your cute little threats that just tear me the fvck up. So cute 😂😂.
I still have that your monkey strong face picture with the kangol hat you had in your dp sometime ago. With all the pimples on your face 😂😂
Result of taking too many blows in the womb from your wretched animal father. Hahahahaba.
Jobless fool. Don’t go and find a woman that will agree to marry a fool like you so you can have kids like your mate. Keep wasting your life obsessing over me on the internet. Pathetic clown. You
You are right, sounds like you have a great life. Must be enjoyable not having a girlfriend and spending every weekend night on nairaland.
You are right. Maybe I should spend my Sat nights like you do scrolling though Nairaland. Going out in Lagos can be so exhausting, I remember my last night in Lagos I was out with my boy who is a CEO of a bank, his boy the MD of finance company and another friend who is an MD of an Agricultural holding company, it was so tough, we got in at 4am. With jumping from place to place, the sirens from my boys police escort, all the gorgeous women around us, the bottles, the cigars. Did I mention the women? You probably made the right choice staying in scrolling through Nairaland.
budaatum: And on that note, every post after the above got scrolled through unread except for mentions that have not been able to provoke a response from me.
Clearly that's the style of forum the owner wants, right? What owner would allow a member like slyfoxx who has been banned over and over again to login with a new username if they didn't want this style of forum, right?
budaatum: How I wish you would wonder if you'd bother reading their degenerate tripe not to talk of engage them as much as you do.
I mean, you talk about enabling, but can you not see that you invited this particular individual by repeatedly mentioning it, and you now encourage it to stay by repeatedly engaging with it.
Sorry. I don't prescribe to that particular style of ideology. He was here being a degenerate and getting banned before I was a regular and he'll be here being a degenerate and getting banned when I'm not.
MentalCase98: Bwahahahaa. Only took you 45 minutes of scavenging to come up with some random pic 😂😂 jobless clown. I will be honored if that’s me. See fine boy 😂😂
And Who gives a fvck what bloody Ipob village that is. We already know where you’re from and who your useless, violent, woman beating father is. So keep fooling yourself on here. 😂😂
You are definitely right. Noone who sees you regularly will think that is you.
MentalCase98: I’m keeping a whole 45 year old man busy in a Saturday night 😂😂
His mates are with their wives and kids but this useless clown lives to Suck my junk on nairaland all day.
And you are right again. Given that it is 8:30 here and 1:30 in Naij and that u are single and you are supposedly much younger, I guess I am the one wasting my life online.
Brov I don’t live in America. My business interests span continents. Particularly one continent where the worlds most powerful country is and where cancel culture don’t mean shit. I just got back from there.
Goodluck trying to cancel me there 😂😂😂
🤡
Yup, continents. But, you've done a bang up job of remaining anonymous. As you've said no one would be able to trace anything back to you. You don't have to worry about all the rather fuxed up shit you've posted here.
MentalCase98: As anonymous? This fool really thinks we don’t know him after all the pictures of his family’s alleged houses and cars, schools he supposedly attended, passports and travel documents with dates he posted 😂😂
Dey play.
Like you said, everyone faces the music at some point. And when it's my time, I'll be more than comfortable facing the music.
MentalCase98: Yes digital footprints. So You will have to prove I was the owner of that account that said those things abi? You think your manipulated posts are enough proof of that? Like it’s something I can’t do to you if I was as jobless Hahahaha.
This clown really thinks he’s dealing with an illiterate here 😂😂
Baba your Mickey Mouse threats are not working. You’ve been threatening for over a year now and still nothing 😂😂
I will soon have your time don’t worry.
Your are right, it would be tough. That's why generally I'm cautious of the pictures I post, making sure I don't post bank statements with my name on it, giving out my private number to other posters here, making sure I'm not posting pictures of my house, or offices where I supposedly work, etc. etc. It's really a good idea to stay as anonymous as possible. Because we know all about digital footprints.
MentalCase98: Him don change from finding work to doing business. Hahahahhahahahahhaha
My mans is confused. I thought you said I was some wretched village boy. Which business again. Baba I am daring you now. Do your worst with your cooked up posts and impersonating accounts. There’s a digital footprint for everything on this forum. You will expose yourself eventually for the PROVABLE crimes you have committed.
Keep making them cute little threats. I’m laughing so hard.
slowpoke.
You are right, there is a digital footprint, so I'm generally careful in what I say. Because I know in this age of cancel culture, employers and businesses are cautious of the people they hire. Noone wants the stink of that person to infect their business. Imagine if I was talking about killing Americans and raping women and having people arrested and tortured by police. That would be bad.
MentalCase98: Your hotel? Can your wretched village dwelling father afford a hotel? LMAO. Lie to me that you are somewhere and expect me to come running there like a fool who doesn’t have work like you? I told you that your matter will be handled at my own time. No rush.
I wonder how life would be like when you finally face the music for the people you doxxed, threatened and endangered with your multiple monikers here. Till then keep living in your delusion. You this Little rat from the “dot in a circle” according to our wise president 😂😂
Yes I’m back. Been busy fvcking bitches from your side as usual. Now you can stop fantasizing about me. F@ggot.
Do these kind of threats work on anybody?
You are right, every one does face the music at some point. I wonder if I were an Employer, would I hire or keep someone on board who posted the kind of rapey language you have posted in this forum. I do wonder.
MentalCase98: Dude. Did Slyfoxx fvck your mother or kill your father? What is this bizarre obsession with another man that neither knows or cares about you? When we call you gay now you keep wondering why.
You are the most emasculated “man” I have ever met. At 45+ your mates are sending their kids to university you are here constantly posting about another man you don’t know wondering how his nuts taste tonight. I feel we really need to stage an intervention for you at this point. You are an embarrassment to the entire Obi family that you claim.
Go get a Job. Honestly there’s more to life than fighting with strangers on nairaland and trying to prove you are the richest man on earth to people who literally don’t care if you breathe your last breath tonight.
Pathetic fellow.
Big Boy Internet Tough guy is back. I see you didn't show up at my Hotel. Well, you are a coward after all. But, probably the best decision you ever made in your life.
Everyone's tough when they are anonymous, innit? I wonder what life would be like for you if you had to wear all the racist, terroristic, sexist, rapey language you post here on your neck on a day to day basis. I do wonder.
budaatum: He has shown enough times that he does not give a damn about anyone's emotions, and I do not see how it is my duty to make him give a damn. Besides, how well have you who give a damn managed to control him here from "abused and bullied a lot of people" while spending copious amounts of time engaging with them?
No one is obliged to be in this particular thread, so if the emotional damage done by a degenerate bothers you so much, have you considered engaging in threads the degenerate does not participate in, or just ignore degenerates? You might not be able to control degenerates but you ought to be able to control yourself. No?
Obviously, you know by now I don't tend to shy from much. I tend to bully wanna be bullies. But, I understand I'm unique as I have the disposition for it. So, let's take my example to the real word. Should a person not ride a public bus because people bully them, or attempt to assault them? Where is the line from you? What your words sound like is appeasement.
budaatum: Why, pray tell, even as a black individual, do you think I would insult myself by engaging with a person who calls anyone a "n" please? Is the fact they call anyone that not sufficient to inform me that such people are not worth engaging with or me expending my time with?
So, there is a line you will draw. That line is the use of the word "nigger". So, you won't engage with people who engages in racist slurs but will engage in those who engage in tribal slurs? I got it.
budaatum: I can always report such people to the mods if it bothered me that much and if the person they call "n" has not joined them in using similar words to describe those who call them "n". But as it is, no one is calling me "n", and I'm not here to fight for you or control any degenerates whom you'd find exist all over Nairaland and even in the real world.
I get this. As long as you derive the pleasure you seek from Nairaland, nothing outside of that matters. I honestly think that is an unfortunate way to exist. Real talk, hearing you formulate this was depressing.
budaatum: I don't. And that's why I mostly ignore him since he doesn't even deserve my time.
Of course I don't, and neither can I stopped them apart from appealing to the kids who do promptly take action by removing it and banning them. It's just unfortunate that they are savvy enough to get round those hand, but even they tire eventually.
You keep repeating that I enable him as if I buy him data. Regardless, I'm going to ignore this your perception because it sounds more like "because someone says something .....we should bend over to alleviate that perception", and I can't be bothered to alleviate your perception.
I don't see how writing words on a forum equates to "walks around the street murdering people", but if that's what you believe he's doing, explain why you have not called the cops on his ass please.
No, Ijebo. The level of degeneracy and stupidity and ignorance of the person in question does not reach the level that causes me concern in the least, apart from the sadness that such individuals affect the society I live in. And even that, just a little, considering his lot got only one term of 4 years.
He is not my friend nor my child that I must be under obligation to engage with him if I don't want to, and I can't force him not to be degenerate if that's what he wants to be. Besides, why should I waste my time on the degeneracy of an insignificant person on a forum when his degenerate master is seeking to go live in the White House?
Google Enable. The truth is he is a degenerate and he has abused and bullied a lot of people on this forum. I won't name names but I'm sure there are people who fear coming into this thread because of that abuse by him and slyfoxx. So your selfish desire, as you said, to have conversation and peace has trumped the emotional harm he's caused those people. I
Question, if he was a white guy who repeatedly wrote the word nigger on here and said "I'll refrain from callign you a nigger, but won't stop calling other people "nigger"", would that be kosher with you?
basilico: Go cry to mods... For the record, I have never reported you. Why report a fool with nothing between his ears. My not reporting you gives you more rope to hang yourself
Bullshit, I know for a fact you have. You're equally a degenerate. You and your alt persona. My degrees say I have something between my ears. Does yours? And I guarantee if we put up a blind poll who was more intelligent between you and I, I'd win hands down.
So you can keep repeating this line over and over to make yourself feel better. But you and I know the truth, I would smoke you in any test that measured intelligence or reasoning skills.
budaatum: Oh how glad I would have been if it had been that a claim of impropriety had been made against Fanni and the evidence did not somewhat support it. Unfortunately and sadly, Fanni herself has provided enough evidence for maga conspiracists to get a maga judge to bend over to alleviate that perception as we can all see from the judgement passed down.
As it is, I can see dump eventually getting off on a technicality, and I will blame Fanni if that turns out to be the case, since she ought to know how dirty dump can be in defending his lies and insurrecting.
I meant Evidence that there is prejudice to the defense.
It's simple, this is the test he should have used.
Does the supposed conduct prejudice the defense in any capacity? If no, conduct is not relevant.
