More of the Interview. I think Bill Barr weaponized the DOJ for Trump and will not be looked on kindly by History. But this is an interesting perspective given his old sycophantic support of Trump and the fact he was in the middle of all this stuff. A good watch.

Here is Bill Barr, Trump's old Attorney General with his take on the Right's talking point "Trump was exercising his 1st Amendment rights". "Speech Doesn’t Give You Right To Engage In Conspiracy"
And he has to get his gratuitous Hunter Biden reference in though.

Let the Republican fracture begin.

I checked out National Review yesterday and read a rather weak Editorial criticizing the indictment using all the weak arguments Republicans tend to use in support of Trump. It seemed sloppy and rushed.

Another writer on their staff Noah Rothman wrote a better written counter editorial today, calling out the lapses in yesterday's Editorial.

The Republican party is one giant grift from top to bottom. Looking fwd. to the impending civil war.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Ijebos and Obrigado

It would interest you to know that there is now a Liberal majority in Wisconsin Supreme Court and Democrats in Wisconsin have taken the first step of doing away with Republican gerrymandering.

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/wisconsin-lawsuit-asks-new-liberal-controlled-supreme-court-101956321

The next is to overturn the State's abortion ban in the coming months.
Democrats have retaken the Blue wall it will be difficult for Trump to win it next year.

The only good side of a Trump presidency was making Democrats take things seriously at the cost of losing Roe v Wade but there is hope that they will win against MAGA.

You make a good point. Going to shift some of my donations to the Sate Supreme Courts. If State Courts can curtail gerrymandering, we can pick up some more seats.

Let's see how the electoral college looks in 2024. Hopefully GA is in the blue column going fwd.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Oh I get your points and they are very valid.
It would interest you to know that Dems now take the courts very seriously. Some of them are voting Biden because of SCOTUS, Alito and Thomas even Roberts will not retire under a Democrat in power but nature can take it's course and if it does let a Democrat be at the White House. That is why I said that Scotus was at stake in my comments earlier.
That is what a lot of folks are seeing. DeSantis even said that Democrats should not win the next two election cycles because they can take back control of SCOTUS. I expect Justice Sotomayor to retire in Biden's second term. And must be replaced by a liberal, if nature takes out a conservative jurists a Democrat should be in the White House to fill that vacancy.
It is what folks are saying, it's so sad the courts were not taken seriously in 2016. In 2024, Scotus is on the ballot.

You're right, they are finally getting serious. But unfortunately, it only took the overturning of Roe v. Wade for people to wake up. Aside: Check out the series HandMaid's Tale. It's surprisingly similar to where we are now and a good warning of the society some people want.

There's enough blame to go around re: 2016. The biggest has to go to RBG not retiring during Obama's term, a legacy that undermines/ed all her great accomplishments. And then Obama for not fighting harder for that open seat. Though I get he thought Hilary would win.

Hopefully Democrats have learned their lesson. The Republicans are focused and evil in their intent (minority rule by "Christian" fascists). So, the Dems have to be equally focused and willing to push back hard. Back to why I'm big on Newsome. I like his fight.

Here is your hero and Trump's Right hand man Rudy Giuliani. Conservative Values innit.

Ladyhippolyta88:
@bold, I don't understand what you mean here.
Care to explain?

A couple of Justices are getting old. So I assume Biden will get reelected and the conservative ones may hold out from retiring. So in 7 years they may not be around.
So, I like Gretchen, but I think the country is sexist and so I'm not willing to gamble on her winning. I hate to say that.
But, given what conservatives are doing all over the country in their quest for minority rule and racist policies, a Supreme Court not in the hands of the religious far right is important. Well, unless the Dems find a way to redo the Supreme Court. But of course, they are Dems.
That is my train of thought right now. It may change in 4 years if demographics and ideologies change. But given the fever conservatives and the world seems to be in, I don't have faith in that happening

basilico:
If his supposed girlfriend back home read all of ije's posts she would not know it's him.Because none of what he says has any truth.
She would probably want to date a man like him, a boring pompous man to fund her ashawo lifestyle. While she services every sweat stinking villager.

Still seeking my attention I see. I gave you to ability to engage in a constructive discussion but you found it easier to write this drivel than read the actual indictment and argue from a place of knowledge. Go figure.

I don't rate people, esp. men who attack people's partners who they don't know esp. from the safety of their anonymity. I find them to be weak and cowardly. Simply, if you want to attack her, put your name behind it and reap what you sow. Everything else is just the ramblings of a cowardly idiot.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Trump won because of White Women, asides the electoral college screwing Hillary. White Women screwed her too.
They take the major blame in why Roe v Wade is gone today. The voting Demographics is changing Whitmer can win.

He did. Roe did shift things, but I'm not sure America is changed that much. It's still at least 4 years away, so I'll see then. But given that there may be 1 or 2 Supreme Court seats open and given the direction the country is going esp. for brown skin folk, I hate to say this, but I'm not sure I'm willing to gamble on that.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I don't know about that, they are already propping Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan to ascend the Presidency.

She's quietly done a good job in Michigan.
Campaigning for Hilary and listening to the way woman spoke of her because she was a woman running for President, I'm convinced America is more sexist than racist.
But listen to Newsome's Hannity interview. He took apart a lot of Republican talking points.

Ladyhippolyta88:
It all started with the election of Donald Trump.
The madness was a reactionary politics to the election of a Black man that served two terms so they decided to revert back to a racists good for nothing liar and may be convicted criminal.

Sometimes I blame social media for the woes the world is facing people now have a platform to spread lies and disinformation unchecked and people consume these propaganda daily.

The current one is the lies concerning Africa. A lot of Russian bots propaganda accounts claiming to love Africa are posting unverified news about coup, the people loving the coup, Burkina Faso not selling Uranium to US&France when in reality Burkina Faso does not have Uranium.
The lies on Twitter is even worse and Musk is not doing anything now every propagandists is working unchecked. People should be careful where they get news from.

MAGA Lunatics are already deep down in the kool aid with no hope insight for those deplorables. I hope they don't succeed in infesting Africa too.
The Russian disinformation machine is REAL.
The fact that these people coozy up to dictators and want to overthrow Democracy around the World should be very alarming. Russia and it's counterpart China must not lead a multi-polar world.
It is too bad that some Americans want to overthrow Democracy because their views are not popular and would not mind being like Russia and China.

100% agree. I'm really worried and disappointed what I'm seeing in Africa and the newfound love of Russia. The Russia propaganda must be deep as I see no other way to explain it.

The rest of the Republican candidates better watch out. Trump will most likely lose in DC given the makeup of the people who will be on the Jury. So, his only chance of staying out of Jail will be winning the Presidency. He will try to win the Republican nomination at all costs.

Ladyhippolyta88:
This can only happen by voting. I don't see Newsome ever becoming President.

If Ginni Thomas is indicted also, Clarence must be forced to resign. Jack Smith says more people will be indicted. I hope it includes her.

I can see Newsome winning. He has the bravado a lot of Dems are missing. Appeals to younger Dems.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I agree with you.
Democrats,left-leaning independents and other members of the Democratic coalition must ensure that they vote and vote importantly in swing states
Nobody should underestimate Trump and his MAGA delusional base.
The day Trump committed January 6th was the day he sealed his fate.
That man is not coming back, but Republicans must not be allowed near the White House or any where.

It's stunning where US politics are. Some Republican Senators even came out supporting Trump after this. We're at the precipice as a country.

bemeruca:
Control your obsession. I am a straight dude. I like women

It's not natural that 90% of your posts are about homosexuality and/or transsexuality.
When those are the only things you can talk about, there may be something deeper going on with you.. something you may be covering up.
You know Republicans who talk the most about homosexuality usually come out as gay.
See someone and figure it out.

Trump indicted again.

bemeruca:
Let him be. Let him continue to embarrass himself

"Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are"

bemeruca:
Your imaginary girlfriend is now your driver. You are a special kind of stupid. Get a girlfriend and stop vay life.

You bought a tire? Lmao

Think this through for a sec. If you can have a girlfriend or a wife, how many can I have?
I am literally at least 10 times the man you are in every category. I'm that Western thinking guy, who is better educated, better looking, has more money, better traveled, a better physique and who will stay lay it down.
In fact if you are married and your wife had a choice today. She would choose me hands down. Lol.
Stop this and be serious with yourself.
I'm done with you.

bemeruca:
So why are you responding to me? A guy who is always in the passenger's seat 🤣

Like those naija gitls, he is fast to bring out his phone and start taking photos.

You are trying too hard. Can't you drive? Oh, you are not man enough... That's a gay thing

I guess all those people in Nigeria who have drivers aren't man enough either.
You always sound like a preteen. One day you will get to a place in life where your masculinity is not threatened nor defined by whether you are the driver or not.
You're a loser's loser.

You didn't answer the question. How many COKES do those tires buy?

bemeruca:
Yeah, so I am in the US, what do you want? You could have gone back to when I said they made me take the vaccine in the office. Unlike you who is jobless... I have a job to do. 🙂

I can go to any country... The US is not a nice place to be but I found myself here. Life is unpredictable.

So what have you proved? That I am not in the US?

Since you and your terrorist-wannabe friend seem to care about tires, my gf and my poor cousins.
Here's a receipt for one of the purchases of the tires. You can google the brand and see they are Run Flats as I discussed.
And here is a picture I took from the passenger seat of my g/f "racing" my cousin to dinner in her car. The reason she doesn't have space for a spare tire should be evident. And given she goes through 4 tires roughly every 2 months. And given the receipt, the reason I was pressed to find a local non dealer sources of tires should also be evident
And as usual, in the post I made, I made sure not to talk about pricing, not to talk about the type of car, just thought someone would be able to give me info.
So again, you are welcome to find any inconsistency in anything I post or me purposefully bragging. And, Benalvino3 tell me how many bottles of coke those tires buy.

basilico:
You gloat like an adolescent with nothing to offer and belittling Nigerians back home.
You ain't the only one there.

Thanks. That means you can't find any inconsistent statements.
Gotcha, so you got nothing. Just TEARS , that I throw the things I do have in your face when you try to talk sh$t.
Here's a thought. Stop talking shit and instead spend your time actually reading and thinking through the shit you read instead of being manipulated.

basilico:
Yea right.
America is a continent.
Which city are you in?
You are an idiot. To remain faceless you dont reveal everything about yourself.
Just like you lie about your wealth back home, while you could have been smuggled in by a gay fa.ggot member of the mexican drug cartels for all we care.

What city am I in? IjeBos lol. I'll let you figure it out. Lol. You guys really aren't smart.
And what lies have I told about my family wealth?
Show me anywhere in this thread where I have been inconsistent about anything I've posted.

Pick one.

basilico:
I've never caught a whiff of Ben lying.

vs.

basilico:
Who writes the truth always on a faceless anonymous forum?

basilico:
I've never caught a whiff of Ben lying
What's the big deal about him.being in America? Why you act that being there is a preserve for whom the gods smiled upon... Those whose parents own Lincoln's and Chryslers etc.
You sound very daft
I'm usually several times a year 4-5 hours ahead of GMT, those times when I post at 3-4 am nairaland time.

Don't care who is in the US. But several people in this thread seem to want to lie about it.
What does the time difference have to do with any of this?

He said in March he would never travel to the US. Made a point about posting he was going to Qatar (never mentioned the US). Two months after that in May, he supposedly went and returned from his trip to Qatar, got a US Visa, bought a ticket, found housing and landed in the US? Bullshit. He was either lying then or is lying now. Either way he's a liar.

bemeruca:
And? This proves what? i am not in the US?

March : In Nigeria saying you will never go to the US; supposedly booking a Trip To Qatar

benalvino3:
lmao, he thinks People are Jealous because he is in the US. This only confirms your hypocrisy. you won't give up the US for anything. hahaha so much white supremacy that you won't give the US up for anything.

This one is for you. I already bought my flight ticket. Just because you have poor relations in Nigeria you think everyone is like them
Your girlfriend is in the US now, Because I said she is stuck in Nigeria you are funny.

May :Then 2 months later, back from your Qatar trip and now in the US

benalvino3:
It's 1:27am here. I have already slept and now awake as the time difference is huge. I took this during the day and I am gonna take same spot again

I report you decide… lol.

1stGenAmerican:
Yes, a schizophrenic terrorist wannabe heralding doom, gloom, and “de-dollarizarion” non-stop while his native currency becomes more and more useless. The number of tags with useless and incoherent babble I receive from mentally ill trolls who are obsessed with gay, LGBTQ, and America confirm that they are jobless and fixated on the things they claim to hate.

The posts are shocking. Feel like I can't even be in the same thread with him, lest I get accosted in Foreign airports or even returning to the US.
Nairaland needs to do a much better job with it's moderation. esp. people promoting calling for genocide.

Benvalvino3 vs Benalvino3
Things that make you go Hmmm...
Do we believe you 5 months ago or do we believe you now.

bemeruca:
I live in the US too

vs.

benalvino3:
lol, I am jealous of you. how? I have told you I love my life, I could not ask for more. I don't want to be in the US, I am not that interested. I have said this since 2020 or before. I don't care where you live.

bemeruca:
Oh, now you believe he is a terrorist? why cry? arent you happy with black lives matter and antifa?

Why should i link you?

Nobody ask you for help, No one knows who you are... You don't have a profession other than victimhood and Notice-me. Except its 1stgenamerican or amazontopaz, no one ask you for help.

I live in the US too, I wake up about the same time you claim you wake up and i don't think i would be a special kind of stupid to boast like you.

we know your type. you are in the pool of inferiority complex, you are insecured and envious. you need validation so bad to give your life meaning. I will say take the first step, Get a girlfriend and leave that gay thing behind... from there your life will start to turn around

You now live in the US? Bwahahahahahahahahahahhaha You've been trying to get me to bit on that for months. Go ahead, post whatever nonsense "proof" you want. You live in the US? Bwahahahhahahah

You literally made a post about me not talking about what I do. You spend 10x the time I have on here. So, it would go to reason that you have posts and posts about what you do/field of study.... Silly me for believing in reason. lol

You tell me, do the posts below sound like someone's who's not a terrorist wananbe?

timesup234:
make Muslim kill you there. May ogun strike your Israel god.

MentalCase98:
As in. If only this fool could dedicate half the time he spends investigation random people on nairaland on something more productive, he will be richer than Musk now and not need to keep posting stolen pictures on nairaland to prove his worth. Such a clown 🤡

Serious question though. Why is it people like you and your terrorist friend, who hate America, spend all your time on the American Politics thread and Love TRUMP. 1.) That should tell you everything you need to know about Trump. 2.) Why do you spend all of your time on the thing you hate rather than the things you supposedly love? Confused people.

bemeruca:
This research you are doing only if you have a job you could be doing wonders for them.

You are literally defending a wannabe terrorist. And people wonder why when they apply for a US Visa it gets denied.

bemeruca:
You have never discussed on naira land anything remotely close to your field of study before... Like go to other threads and discuss what interest you relating to the job or your profession.

Inferiority complex is a bad thing and your case is strong ijebos

Your stupid runs deep. Link me to the threads and posts about your field of study in the numerous usernames you have on here.
And FYI, I have talked about what I do. The truth is if I need input on something, I wouldn't post it here. 1.) Posting about it on this site isn't beneficial to me as the there is no such thriving industry in Nigeria. 2.)I usually get a lot of messages with people asking for help, sending CV's etc. and in the past I've tried to respond. but... So, learned my lesson.

I woke up at 5am US time. By 7 AM I had more productive work time than you will probably have this whole week.

Benalvino3 pals around with terrorists.

Btw, ask your boy Mr. kikki what I do. Maybe he's realized how Implantable devices are related to Electrical Engineering by now.

bemeruca:
no they did not ban me. I just felt i should leave that moniker to rest. the mods cannot ban me and succeed. its a waste of time.

Birds of a feather flock together. It's sad you are so desperate for affirmation you pal around with degenerates and a degenerate terrorist wannabe(?). (MentalCase98 = Timesup234).

timesup234:
make Muslim kill you there. May ogun strike your Israel god.

basilico:
I like that reasoning. Because half the country loves Trump, you think half a country is stupid and needs re-education.

No, they need an education and critical thinking skills. Normally the uninformed(uneducated) know they are uninformed(uneducated) and strive not to be. In this Trump era those people don't. Illiteracy is a badge of honor. Look at your posts in this thread. You are still posting on the indictments, making arguments based on them, but still haven't read them to be informed on them. I would never dare engage in a discussion about something I haven't thoroughly researched out of fear of being made look stupid by someone who is in the know. I would just sit, listen and learn. That same fear of shame doesn't seem to exist with the Modern Day Republican party.

But seriously, Trump is a 2x impeached soon to be 4x indicted ex-president and he is leading the Republican primary. Google John Edwards and you'll see the difference in the parties.
