Hmm I see you’re mentioning me. So who is obsessed with who now? This is why no one on this thread takes you serious. You come across as a rambling, emotional and confused fool sometimes.

Your only taking point and sole achievement in life is the delusion in your decaying brain that nobody else on nairaland has been to the US apart form you. People you know NOTHING about. This is how stupid you are bro. And why I will NEVER believe Harvard would admit a thuggish, denigrate, clearly jobless, emotional wreck like you in their institution.

Like I told you take your lips off Bidens anus for a minute and go get a life. You sound more desperate the more Bidens crimes are revealed. Why is that?

I'll help you out. Start by googling obsession. Figure out what it means first. And then ask yourself if you used the work properly. Hint: You haven't. Then reread the shit you just posted. Ask yourself, who was going to prosecute Obama for war crimes in the US? Name me the law and or statute he would be prosecuted under.

I'm sure your take of US politics sounds smart to the ignorant and stupid people who you surround yourself with. I'm neither. I have a low threshold for stupid people, moreso for stupid people who post misinformation and moreso for stupid degenerates. You're the trifecta. Why don't you get back to sexually harassing woman on here or opening up new usernames.. It only takes you 2 minutes huh? (What grown man gloats about that?) You are the true Nairaland Troll Champion. Well done. #Lifegoals right?

MentalCase98:
There you go trying to flip the script making it sound like Republicans are the ones who started this dangerous trend. Did we not warn you when you guys were totally obsessed and consumed with trying to impeach and put Trump in jail for the most nonsensical allegations under the sun? Digging the books for the most obscure legal theories to prove he had committed some crime because you were so deranged by him?

We warned you guys that going at a former president so hard will have ripple effects. You naively thought it will stop at Trump? LMAO. The flood gates have been opened. Now every former US president will be targeted by prosecutors of the opposition party once they leave office. Just like in African banana republics.

That gentleman’s agreement that the US had for centuries of granting unofficial immunity to ex-presidents for the sake of peace has been shattered by the democrats and it’s a race to the bottom from here on.

What you don’t realize is that ALL presidents commit crimes. Big or small, before or during their presidency. They are all guilty of something. Both Bush and Obama could have theoretically been prosecuted for war crimes for their actions in Afghanistan and Libya respectively. But we all know the system will never do that.

if you target ANY human being, let alone a former president, as hard as Trump has been targeted since 2016, you will definitely find something to indict them with.

There’s a reason behind the saying that a determined prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Dig the books deep enough and we have ALL committed some theoretical crimes. It’s all about who the system decides to target and who it decides to turn a blind eye to.

Enjoy the ride from here bro. US politics just got interesting.

Obvious take from someone who has 0 understanding of US politics. There was no gentleman's agreement and most President's don't commit crimes. Trump tried to prosecute Hillary Clinton (How we all forget Lock her up), Bill Clinton and Obama. He even tried to prosecute John Kerry. The thing about the US, if someone isn't guilty of something, it's hard to indict and prosecute them. You should leave your Nigerian sensibilities of politics in Nigeria. The nonsense that is posted in this thread.

Judge strike down hunters sweetheart deal

The judge did not strike down the deal. She explicitly said, "I'm not going to say I'm going to accept the agreement, I'm not going to say I'll deny it,". One of the reasons she held it up was a technical constitutional matter. If you want to parrot stupid talking points at least make then factual.

You should also probably go do some research on what types of jail sentences people receive who end up paying their back taxes. Most if not all credible attorneys believe this was overcharged. That is if you actually care about learning anything. But I doubt you do. So, continue on being a useful idiot or just an idiot.

All this misinformation flows from Giuliani. He admits today that he was lying about fraud in Georgia during the election. Imagine how many people's lives he's hurt and destroyed (including the Jan. 6th people who actually believed his lies) for a naked power grab. Also the person Giuliani and Trump sent to drum up this fake Ukraine stuff about Joe Biden spoke up recently about the allegations and what he did. Giuliani will either flip or get indicted. And how long before the MAGA cultists start calling him a member of the deep state?

Since the MAGA cultists prefer watching video to reading, I've included a video of Lev Parnas (Giuliani's partner in the Ukraine stuff) discussing what he did.

Look at this thread. They use the mentally unstable and uneducated like Basilico who have all the time in the world to repeatedly post this nonsense. If you repeat something long enough, some people will believe it is true. Republicans are very good at propaganda and lying shamelessly.

Rudy Giuliani finally admitted that he lied about the two Georgia election workers (Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss), he accused of rigging the 2020 election and counting extra votes.

The people in this thread who repeatedly posted this nonsense and repeatedley refer to Giuliani as a credible source on anything should reflect on why you are so gullible and always fall for conmen.

I think gop dead too. People just can't possibly in the majority elect them I don't think, not with the policies they propose. It's like asking America to vote Ayatollah.

The GOP in it's current form is dead. It has to be. Trump pulled back the curtain and revealed the BS that it was. Overturning Roe V. Wade sealed the deal.

basilico:
How you expect someone who thinks you are beneath him to treat you as his equal? Respect is earned Not demanded .
You defend the few examples of how slaves were treated But want to make blacks more treated harshly than others. Blacks have not been enslaved since 1865. Equal treatment is what you want . Noone prevented blacks from running businesses or working since then.

Wow. No one prevented blacks from running business since 1865? I guess you've been reading Florida's African American History curriculum.
Start by reading up on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre as just one example.
And FYI 1921 came after 1865.
Jesus, I can't imagine walking though life constantly being a fool.
A good quote for you. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt"

He has mistaken people getting tired of his buffoonery and leaving the thread for somehow having actual thoughtful posts.

The only slavery we hear a lot is blacks in America, whom I believe have had better opportunities than in all other countries.
Can the left give us a break

Yeah, this happens to be the "American Politics Thread - Joe Biden’s Presidency/Road To 2024!". If you don't like the discussion of slavery/racism in America as it pertains to the election (Desantis' School reforms), you should find another thread to troll in.

TookDownYourMum:
This is about slavery in the Americas not the Trans-Sahara slave trade and the Barbary slave trade which both pagan Africans and Christian Europeans were enslaved even then they could gain their freedom if they converted to islam. Arabized Nubians in North Sudan and Southern Egypt helped the Ottoman-Egypt slave raid further into the interior of Africa so they could add slave soldiers into their ranks. As for castration, Islamic empires like the Ottomans not castrate all of their slaves, there are Afro-Turkic people today which most are descended from slaves and 40% of Mauritania is heratin (descendants of slaves), 30% are Arab/Berbers and another 30% of black Africans who were never enslaved, many Bantu Somalis etc, elites and people of Swahili city states are Afro-arabs and Arabized populous in Mombasa, Kilwa, Zanzibar, Lamu etc.

As for Argentina, thats a myth people like to keep peddling. They were not killed off, there are still 150,000+ Afro-Argentines in the country today descended from slaves. Also, modern-slavery ingeneral is a big problem but Africa barely contributes to most of it, Asia is actually the hotbed for modern-day slavery like India having more than 18 million people enslaved. Then you have all the Arab states like Qatar, Dubai etc that enslave Indians, Filipinos, and Nepalis etc. There is also child sex slavery which is the biggest in Asia, specifically southeast Asia which many white expats and white tourists from Europe and America keep alive, most of Interpol most wanted pedophiles are white. Dont get me started on the sex slavery in Eastern Europe either being a problem.

Also, I never said that US was the worst in chattel slavery, that was infact Haiti controlled by France which they had a revolt about, won, and killed all of their French slave masters. Out of that 500,000, 180,000 freed blackmen and ex-slaves fought and died in the Union fighting for freedom. It wasn't just a white Union effort. Once again, stop using party labels, the base ideology is what's relevant. Just say Conservatives.

Edit:



There was no racial concept in Africa, did they share the same skin colour? Yes, but they did not view the people they were trading as "their" people because they weren't of the same ethnic group. it was tribes enslaving other enemy tribes in their wars, debators and criminals, and sometimes raiding villages of enemy tribes. Would you say England enslaved their fellow white people after they thrashed France in a war? No, thats ridiculous. As ones who owned the slave forts and shipped Africans to the Americas were Europeans. Africans may have been the one to capture the slaves in the interior and sell them off to Europeans for stuff like firearms, but Europeans are the ones who bought them, transported them to another continent, and treated them less than animals for 400 years.

Shit, you try to justify all of that inhumane shit just because they have better opportunities in the US than those in Africa currently? Even then thats bullshit because stuff like redlining, given harsher sentences for the same crimes than their white counterparts, 9 times more likely to be stopped by police than their white counterpart, predominantly black neighbourhoods and schools are underfunded, understaffed, and underresourced, more black people are killed at a higher per capita than whites, less than 5% of black businesses receive financial assistance, and constant attempts to limiting Sunday ”Souls to the polls” etc.

Thanks for the posts. Good read.

Humans benefit from the suffering of other humans. That's how it has always been. Slavery was something not unique to the united states. It was everywhere. Your focus on the United States only shows victimhood for no apparent reason.

People who died in flights from the 1940s to date did not die for nothing. Their deaths have made it safer today to fly. When someone says if it was not for their deaths, we would not be travelling. It is not that they are celebrating death, it is just that the suffering and efforts of others have put them in a better situation today.

I don't expect you to get it... You cannot tell when basilico was being sarcastic.

How much self hate does it take for a Nigerian to argue that Nigerian/African slaves transported to the US were better off in the US rahter than Nigeria/Africa because of skills they may have learned there like blacksmithing.

Really, how much do you hate yourself and the country you live in?

TookDownYourMum:
As a Nigerian I have to laugh at this.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I could of sworn that Nigeria during the NOK culture was dealing with Iron since 1500 BCE while their ancestors in Western Europe looked like this. Why do these white supremacists dedicate themselves to being utterly fucking stupid? Jesus christ, I almost dont feel sorry for their race dying out in the states.

Right. Unfortunately didn't study Nigerian History. But being utterly stupid is a trend in the US right now esp. in the MAGA movement.

One of the members of the committee who wrote these reforms (unfortunately a lost black woman) thanked God for slavery, claiming “if it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshiping a tree". Tell me what tree is that you worship? Just kidding obviously.

Princedapace:
Bro, this is not about Obi or anything. Pls, we need our country to work. We need an election that is electronically transmitted to improve transparency. This is obtainable in serious countries.
We cant keep doing anyhow and expect Nigeria to grow.

I would be the happiest if Nigeria can have a reliable electoral system. U maybe benefiting from the malfunction maybe from political appoitments but for how long will Nigeria remain like this?
When are we stopping the nonsense elections we run using pen and biro to record results and manually inputing data like we are in 10th century.

I'm with you. I'm not sure what people are arguing against. Watching parts of that election on Twitter left me dumbfounded and embarrassed. Election officials literally put ballots in Tupperware containers and called them secure?

Nigeria can't grow or work if people are comfortable with it as is.

basilico:
I sarcastically said Maybe I don't have a college degree
See how stupid you are

Your post wasn't sarcasm. Just a moment of honesty you now regret. Why don't you tell us about this "good" degree you have and the IVY league school you went to to get it. Since with DEI you clearly could have gotten into one right?

basilico:
I need to go live with the
Hotentos to understand how bushmen live, Or go back in time to know the Roman culture or how Ceaser was murdered

Yes!!!! YES YOU DO! The fact that you don't seem to understand that says everything about you. And so, because we don't have time machines, we find other ways to get as close to that knowledge as possible. It's the reason archaeologists spend millions doing their digs for artifacts, paleontologists dig for dinosaur bones and anthropologists live with the people they study. It's the reason subject matter experts exist who dedicate their lives to understanding Roman culture by pouring over historical texts, studying Latin and Greek, so they can come as close as possible to understanding works as it was written at the time. When I was in highschool I had to learn Latin so I could study some texts that were originally written in Latin with the understanding that even someone's slight translation of a word may change the text's meaning. I can't even believe I had to write that.

But that is the difference between you and I. I understand the limits of my understanding. I am comfortable doing my extensive research before speaking, fact checking the shit I post, knowing who is a subject matter expert and who is just some random dumbass on twitter and if I can't I don't opine. You don't, so you post bullshit here that is repeatedly wrong and that would have taken you 1 minute to fact check on google or a minute for a reasonably smart person to think if it made sense.

Read Malcolm Gladwell's outliers and you'll maybe begin to understand expertise and what it takes to get it.

basilico:
You brag a lot. You exhibit limited understanding of worldly and social matters.
I know about ranking, I have a good college degree, maybe you have convinced yourself that you are intelligent.
Simple demonstration of your illogical reasoning. The old cliche " you need to live in America......" .
The moment you repeated that one, I realized you are an immbecile that I can just troll.
Show me just one post where you made any sense at all.
The way you believe lying media, speak highly of Biden when evidence of his crimes is laid bare also demonstrates you lack intelligence,reasoning and understanding.

Because to gain understanding of something you can do it simply by sitting in your village in Nigeria? Right? Idiot, get a passport, put some stamps in it, visit the countries and understand the culture of the places you repeatedly talk about, diversify your network, diversify the cultures of the people you know, diversify the things you read, use your mind when you do read and take your medication for whatever mental disorder you clearly have. Then, maybe.. maybe you may say something that has some understanding behind it.

A post ago, you didn't have a college degree. Now you have a "good" one? Lol. Ok..

basilico:
Did I mention white students anywhere. I said not everyone wants to go to Havard. If you are in the 99th percentile, I consider it to be among those who applied to Havard for a specific program in maybe culinary arts. Those who never applied to Havard but chose Amherst say, you think you scored better than them?
You don't know my background, stop assumptions on whether I possess. College degree .Maybe I don't..
You reason like a 5th grader.Your ramblings here give no indication of a Havard education.

I was speaking to my niece today and explaining to her the concept of "not knowing what you don't know". I think it's a concept you should learn as well. You dive into every topic with the slimmest understanding of it and always come out looking stupid-er. The 99th percentile refers to where your score ranked in the SAT, the exam Colleges required (when I applied) for entry and mostly every College applicant took. So, yes, that 99th percentile meant my score was.. better than 98 percent of every other college applicant who took the test that year.

Based on the trash you post here, I would have guessed you didn't have a College Degree. As I said posts back, I wondered what schools allowed you to graduate with the limited ability to reason you've shown here. Acknowledging you don't have a degree gives me more faith in Nigerian schools.

Anyhow, I'm done with this topic with you. You seem to bring up my schooling more than I do. Why is that?

basilico:
There are lots of good universities worldwide, lot of students pass very very well and don't want Harvard.
DEI helps here. Those applying specific to Havard would not necessarily be the smartest kids on the block. Say there are those who want Stanford or MIT or Berkeley or UK Oxford or Cambridge.
You can only say you re in the 78th percentile of the applicants in that year to that specific program.

You're jealousy and stupidity have left you babbling online. You are somehow arguing that people who went to Harvard aren't some of the best applicants and some of the smartest? All IVY league schools try to get the same pool of students and target the same percentage of African American Students in their class and so have similar Affirmative Action Programs. I scored in the 99th percentile in my entrance exams. So I can say I was in the 99th percentile. Your argument is somehow that no Black person can score similarly to white people in standardized tests? I feel sorry for your indoctrinated warped mind.

Again, you had the same ability to use DEI to apply to top schools as other Nigerian students from Nigeria who were in my class. Why didn't you get in to any? Spend more time figuring out why you weren't good enough instead of tearing down those who were.

I wonder how people would react if someone forced students to learn how Holocaust survivors learned skills beneficial to them, like how to dig graves. People only think it's ok to rationalize slavery because it's Black people. Further crazy that this is what DeSantis who hoped to be President was comfortable proposing.

No trails I know off, just bring a road bike. There are some clubs I believe.

Ahh.. No trails. Surprising.
The road bike was my first thought. But a friend cautioned that it was really unsafe (he lives on the island). How do they clubs navigate the traffic?

I'm going to spend some time in Lagos the next few months. I was thinking of bringing one of my bikes for exercise. Are there any bike groups/clubs that ride regularly? How do you deal with the traffic? Also are there any bike trails/paths that are safe if I bring a gravel/mountain bike instead?

wirinet:
Why are you shocked? Yes 90% of Nigerian don't know what a trans mean. The few that does are those that lived or travelled to the US or get their news from US media particularly Fox news or CNN. That's why I am shocked that some people here are so obsessed with trans and LBGTQ issues and cannot issue two sentences without talking about them

That's why I never involve myself in the heated debates on trans and other related issues, it's pointless.

I hear you. I don't get involved, because the more people make irrational arguments against it, the more it forces me to think about it. And the more I think about the more I don't see a rational argument against it (outside of minors). Religious sensibilities aren't a rational argument in a country with freedom of Religion and a supposed "separation" of Church and State.

In fact given this is a politics thread, it should be discussed here in terms of how it effects the election. If people want to discuss transsexuality in general, why not just start a new thread?

basilico:
Nobody attacks you for going to Ivy league. It's entirely possible you went there courtesy of DEI.
We find it bizzare that you came out with nothing from there. You reason like 5th grader, you write long meaningless rubbish posts.
Noone has a problem that you went there. It's what you got from there that has never been displayed. You're dumb as Fucck.

You don't seem to understand how Affirmative Action works/worked. Like most things you discuss here. Affirmative Action doesn't take wholly unqualified students and drop them in. It takes students who are mostly qualified, high GPA's and maybe a lower SAT score than the other applicants to fill out the percentage of students they want. Say the avg. Harvard SAT score is a 1500. They may accept someone who scored a 1200, which would still be around the 78th percentile. And the Harvard freshman class is roughly 2000 students with roughly 7% being African American. So, that would be ~140 African American Students in a class. So, let's posit someone got in based on Affirmative Action. That means that student was probably still a better applicant than 78% of the people taking the SAT and given they only accept 140 African Americans a given year, probably one of the best African American applicant that year. So, the question then becomes why didn't DEI help you into an IVY? And before you begin with you live in Nigeria, my g/f went to one of the top 4 schools in the US if not the world and she applied from SS in Nigeria.

But, I buried the lead. My high school that I tested in to is a Harvard feeder school.

I wish this I could say this ad was made up. This is where Republicans are today. This is what they are against. This is basically Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsing Biden.

Note: Was just looking for a youtube vid of the ad. Didn't watch anything beyond it and so I am not vouching for any comments outside the ad.

Butthurt 😂😂 typical liberal.

Relax bro. Get some Kleenex and wipe you vagina. It’s not that serious.

Yes, you're right, it's not that serious. So why do you keep mentioning me? On this new moniker I'm sure 75% of your posts have either mentioned me or alluded to me. You seemed obsessed with me like your idiot brethren Benalvino3. FYI. I don't like guys.

Try this, Try not to respond to, mention or allude to me for 30 days. If you can't, just change your name to ImobsessedwithIjeBos99. (Using ur naming convention/moniker count).

MentalCase98:
Lol that’s the point my guy. We DONT believe that’s your rolls Royce and we DONT believe you went to Harvard.

But anyone can be anything on nairaland so ride on my guy. And for Christ sake stop being such a Biden butt licker. Man don’t even know you exist.

Yes, anyone can. As evidenced by you and your 100 monikers or does the 98 represent how many monikers have been banned.
Honestly, I don't give a sh*t what you and your diseased mind believes. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPLY TO ME!

You live on this Forum. Put down your phone, wash your a$$, go outside and get some fresh air.

You are trying to attack me because of a picture of my family's Rolls Royce while the other members of the Brain Dead Brigade are trying to attack me for going to Harvard? Huh? If it were Harvard-Yale weekend the latter may make sense. Maybe one of you went to Yale.. lol.. Let me stop.. lol

Maybe I should say "Thank You"... for CONTINUOUSLY mentioning all these great things about me? Lol. The rampant stupidity of you three is breathtaking.

citing a leftwing junk to fact-check someone makes you a thicko. you are a certified Harvard idi.t.. stay your lain.

As if you even know who the writer is. Generally people read something and then dispute the arguments or facts. Idiots generally result to ad hominems. That is Latin for at/to the man/person. (Yeah, I studied Latin too in that prestigious highschool of mine I tested into). Facts seem to have a liberal bias innit?

And yes, thanks for mentioning my alma mater for the 100th time. The same school a lot of people who run the world went to.
But yeah maybe, just maybe, it wasn't as intellectually rigorous as whatever dumbfuck 10th tier school you managed to get into in PHC. Well, we clearly know that's a lie.

And FYI, it gets to the point of stalkerish and envious(using it properly there as well) that 85% of your posts are about me and/or Harvard. But I'd be envious of me too.

Fact Check
In the interest of not arguing with known mentally deranged idiots, for anyone truly interested in the details of this allegation, this is a pretty good tweet thread: https://twitter.com/thomasafine/status/1682085249243844608
Trying to blackmail Zelensky into making allegations like this was part of the reason Trump got impeached the first time.
Warning, this stuff is pretty much in the weeds. I'm a politics/law nerd, so I find it interesting.

---Finally Joe Biden will be impeached and charged to the court---

The FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President JOE BIDEN was involved in a $5,000,000 bribery scheme with a Burisma executive has been released by
ChuckGrassley---

This is propaganda. It was sourced and created by people affiliated with Giuliani and Trump so it can be used for propaganda purposes like it is now. This was the point of the "whistleblowers". To get documents that Congress otherwise wouldn't be able to obtain out in the open.
It's a very clever scheme. Giuliani generates a fake source who gives an interview to the FBI. The FBI now has on record a "source" who said something. And Republicans can then subpoena the FBI or "get" a whistleblower to reveal these confidential docs, private citizen (Hunter Biden) tax details, grand jury info or unverified allegations that they wouldn't normally have access to without a lengthy process. And they can now say, look we have an FBI source who said "____". The avg. American will know no better. And because Grassley did it in Congress he has absolute immunity. Republicans are good at weaponizing government for these purposes. I give them credit for this.

Here is a tweet from Lev Parnas, who was helping Giuliani with this stuff. And these allegations came about during Bill Barr's tenure (no fan of Biden). He did nothing with them.
