One thing about Trump, when he fails, his ego will never let him rest. He will try everything to change the narrative and convince the public he’s not the failure that he actually is.

They are really trying to pin this on Fauci as if he was appointed under some Dem.

The thing I give Republicans credit for, they continue to push, very loudly, all their lies even when they know their lies to create a fake narrative.
While the Dems have the truth and facts on their side and nada.

Wow. If these number hold Republicans are in a world of hurt.
And this is a Fox Poll.

raumdeuter:
Democratic presidents somehow managed to grow their netwrths by thousands percent

Bill Clinton Increased His Wealth by the Most After Presidency, Barack Obama Was Second
Clinton, the Democratic president who was in office for two terms between 1993 and 2001, started his presidency with a net worth of $1.3 million, and after leaving office, had accumulated a wealth of $120 million, according to celebritynetworth.com.

Per the outlet, it is also thought that Clinton and his wife Hillary have earned more than $250 million to date from speaking engagements, book advances and royalties, and through investment and consulting fees.

Barack Obama was the president who saw the second highest increase to his wealth coming out of office, at around 5,300 percent.

Bwahahahh at posting a chart without Trump on there.
God, you're a propagandist.
And a mumu one to boot.

They don’t have to make sense, they just need to waste our time arguing. Mamdani was 9 years old and today they’re trying to blame him for it.

The whole Mandami thing is obscene.
What is Netanyahu doing even involved in our Domestic politics? As if Israel isn't a donor state.
Just obscene.

cococandy:
If your source of truth is from this administration, you’re a dum dum. Happy Sunday to everyone except those who have handed over their thinking faculties to Trump

Also no one should be charged with “resisting arrest” when strange men wearing face masks, glasses and a vest anyone can buy online try to take them.

I think anyone’s initial reaction would be to push back to try and see what’s happening and who’s trying to take them. Especially coming from a country where kidnappings happen often.

It’s so easy for bigots to say well “he should’ve complied” or “he shouldn’t have resisted”. But stuff like this happens so quickly and in a panic. The brain is trying to get all the information it can while the body is trying to protect.

So, until it happens to you and you’re just willing to let anyone walk up to you and grab you because you’re not a white man, be quiet because you have no idea what you’re talking about.

What's more obscene is that they are doing this blatant lying in the age of cell phone videos.
They act as if they are impervious to any repercussions.

Despicable

CNN: The Pentagon removed Michael and the three soldiers who also died this past weekend from the public casualty count of soldiers and troops who have died during the war. Has anyone spoken to you about this?

Like I said before I am very stubborn as well but as I get older I have to ask myself whether being in the right constituted a victory. As it is today my default choice is to actively avoid the routes these people are on. My dislike and contempt for them is almost always viable in my demeanor and so they become even more aggressive during our encounters.

A colleague used to be like that as well and one time on a journey from Lagos to edo the police wound up throwing his daughter to the ground. The question was simple - you were in the right but could you have forseen that outcome?

Unfortunately, that is the question. What does a victory look like?
I'm stubborn too and don't like being taken advantage of. And their goal is to put you in situations where you're under pressure in order to take advantage of you.
But, I pick which battles I fight wisely now.

The problem with Naij is you can't always avoid it.
So, I don't fault anyone for making bizness decisions in those scenarios.

cococandy:
When a solider is killed in combat, a memorial is held at the pentagon and a roll call happens where their name is called three times.

After the third call with no response (signifying that they have made the ultimate sacrifice) the trumpeter plays taps to honor their passing onto glory.

And of course their unit leaderships walks up and says a few words of praise for their character and contributions to command.

These four names were scratched off the list of the deceased and did not receive this honor. Makes you wonder.

FK everyone who supports this administration!

No.
That seems even too deplorable for the Trump administration.

GloriousGbola:
He was not wise and I will repeat it

He could have been killed and even if they were on video it would not have brought him baxk

I hope you will not be telling uniformed men you meet while travelling that you work in an oil company or you just came from uk

We have been taking on this platform about how dangerous it is travelling by road. Your goal if you don't have escort and even if you do is to make your trip as quick as possible while being as incognito as possible

In a country with security issues and police in cahoots with kidnappers you want your trip to be as uneventful as possible

Winning an argument is not worth the potential risk to your life.

You also need to understand police you will meet while traveling are a whole different breed from police in the city. It is just you and them. No crowd to gather to video, no one you can call at short notice for backup. Just some of the rawest Nigerian police there are

Yeah, I struggled with this.
I think giving them money enables them to continue and so is a moral issue, but then you start balancing it with just trying to make it through your trip safely.

A did a trip from to the East from Lagos when it was safer to do so (g/f had it on her bucket list to do that drive herself and begged me).. Ok..
On the way there we got stopped a lot. She's driving(her bucket list), I have a heavy jjc accent, so I let her do her thing and talk to them.
But she does not back down esp. when she's in the right. So, each stop got time consuming and we were already pressed since we left Lagos later than we should.
After the 2nd stop, I had had enough. I was concerned, we would be driving in the dark, which we ended up doing. And the cost of that would be potentially more. So, I just said we'd just pull over and give each person a certain amount and keep it moving.

So unfortunately, you're right. Just pay and keep it moving.
Nigeria at times pushes you to be a different version of yourself.

This sequence is bonkers.
They have Trump, who regularly threatens reporters, at the Correspondents dinner while a war is going on.
They gave an award to reporters who reported on the Epstein document and was threatened by Trump, and forced to relocate from their home.
Trump stands up to shake their hands.

America is so cooked.
And the media is largely responsile

*Watch the 2nd video, the first is corrupt.

Let me hear you call any one that clamors for universal programs such as health care or education a communist in this group again.

From your dribbling I can only conclude that democrats who are pushing for Medicare for all Americans aren’t potential communists. They are just asking for what should be a constitutional right.

Agreed?

He has no idea what the convoluted mess of his argument means.
The guy barely understands the words he uses let alone the words Chatgpt writes for him.

bayelsaowei:
And also remember that the deranged orange man and his minions once said that the kinetic engagement with Iran wasn’t a war but an exercise.. I have forgotten the exact terms used.

We all told them it was a war from the onset.. they danced around, denied, justified why it wasn’t a

But here we are today..

We're in an up is down world. The constitution is clear.
We're in a war, without any authorization from Congress. Everyone should be enraged.

I'm even sure if it weren't mandated the military wouldn't publish the war dead.
I also wonder how many private security contractors have been killed as well.
I don't think they have to report those.

There is no depth to Trump's indecency.

By Thursday, the Defense Department had lowered that number, reporting that 14 American troops had been killed in the war.
Three military officials said that one reason behind the change was that the Trump administration decided to remove four service members killed this past weekend from the list — three in Jordan and one in northern Iraq — because their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April

Most of the people in this thread were on the right side of history on this.
Everyone needs real friends who tell them when dey fking up.
Unfortunately for Netanyahu's Israel, they didn't have any and here we are.

Look at the polling numbers on this issue with people with college degrees vs those without.
I'm sure Ibime will be right along to call the majority of Americans "terrorist lovers".

The outright corruption is coming in fast and furiously.

Donald Trump’s social media company has discussed charging Wall Street traders and investment firms as much as $100,000 a month for faster access to the U.S. president’s posts on his Truth Social platform, according to people familiar with the matter.

Meanwhile the current president’s sons are drug sniffing criminals heavily into financial fraud at the expense of the tax payers.

And the morally upright godly family values supporters are mute. Their hypocrisy is too big for this world. Words cannot describe the magnitude of their rot in them.

Like full on open, we don't care fraud.

It was always a game.
It' the same people who were up in arms over a made-up child molestation ring in pizzagate now rallying around the Tate brothers.

Just rotten gullible people.

benalvino3:
Lol. From a guy that do white men 😂

Always on time to defend your boyfriend.
Your closeted self is showing.

Always thought the whole "Biden weaponized the DOJ" was some of the nuttiest stuff that came from MAGA.

Biden had control of the DOJ to weaponize it but let them arrest, indict and take his only remaining son to trial?
The kind of ish people say who don't have working braincells.

Hunter Biden: My dad had no control over the DOJ. You know how I got evidence of that? I got indicted twice and then I had to go to trial as a son of the president. My dad never picked up the phone and called Merrick Garland.

Universal health care is not socialism. Do research before you discuss. This is embarrassing.

Definitions matter because words have actual meanings; universal healthcare in a market economy isn't socialism.

It is why you think Norway is a socialist country when it is clearly not.

UHC is a government programs that can exist within a capitalist mixed economy.

Socialism concerns broader public or collective ownership and control of production, not the government funding a service.

Like I said, do your research and tell us what communist/socialist country you would like to move to.

You simply don't know what you are saying. Anytime you see a program you tie it to socialist or communist mentality

Jesus.
The guy doesn't even know his first language, English, well enough to tell when something is very obviously written by AI.
The conservatives in this thread are a joke.
Not a braincell amongst them.

Dude, start with the basics, open up Hooked on Phonics, before you start trying to explain the type of Capitalism the US has.
Just embarrassing that a grown man can write so poorly.

No one takes the word of a perpetual victim serious

A victim for hire

He said he needs to take someone's word where there is an article that he can easily read and evidence he can go seek out himself.
Brain addled MAGA member.
Not even sure how people like Raumdeuter tie their shoes in the morning.

Unfortunately, you wannabe token black Trump White Nationalist fluffer is going be treated like every other token... used.

I used to do these types of coemptions when I was younger, so the story peaked my interest.

Hopefully there is an investigation here.

Next time when Raumdeuter talks about there not being racism or systemic racism in the US, this is what it looks like.

Ive changed batteries over the years
That’s about it
Clear up space to upgrade iOS

Nice.
If it suits your needs that's all that matters.
Just pushing back on the tangible upgrades part.

ewa20buredi100:
This is does not sound good at all.
Especially coming from the USA.

How did they allow the Islamic State to infiltrate them? All in the name of being woke and liberal.

You will never find a Christian or other non-muslims hold political positions in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait or any other Islamic state, let alone dictates who who comes in and out of the country.

Nigerian Iranians over to you.

Asinine comment.
You may want to actually read the Constitution of the country you feel the need to comment on.
Here, we have freedom of religion.

yinkeys:
Ive been using my phone for almost 10 years. iPhone 7
No big deal
No tangible upgrades with new phones
I hear some phones are too fragile with issues .eg. Samsung screen

All for pushing back on planned obsolescence and keeping phones for a while, but a decade?
There would be issues:
At that point, the speed difference would be very noticeable.
I'm also sure apple doesn't even support security updates for that device.
And some modern apps probably won't run on it.
And unless you changed the battery a couple of times, the battery wouldn't last nearly as long as a recent device.

This mfer has no bottom to his indecency.
Putting words into the mouth of soldiers who died fighting his illegal war to serve his purpose.

cococandy:
It irks me that there are people incapable of recognizing the truth of others’ experiences unless it happens to them personally. That’s the default setting of conservatives.

It's the whole crux of the conservative movement.
If people were capable of recognizing other's experiences, they wouldn't be conservative or be voting for Trump.

benalvino3:
You have never been to one.
Maybe you should check the meaning of 'locker room talk.' It does not have to happen in a locker room or with football mates. This shows how clueless you are.

Always running your mouth pretending you have any clue of cultural contexts but just making yourself look the silly person you are.
