Lol, You know how stupid sound?
You went to my profile to post a photo I had there since 2021. Unlike you, I don't post what I do. I did not post it here. I made my point long ago once to shut someone up who was making noise. So when you go to my profile and pick something up then accuse me of showing off... you only confirm how dumb you are.
if I want a US visa, I can get it like that. Nobody will ask twice. from my travel history and my job, they will just give me 2 years before I blink. You are a gatekeeper of the US I forgot...

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.

Everything you say speaks to the fact you look down on others which speaks to the reason you hate those who live in the US, jealousy that you think they are better than you. So you want to tear them down and diminish their accomplishments, so you can feel better than them and about yourself. Look at the lies about me you keep repeating. I'm poor, my Dad's poor, my girl's poor, my relatives are poor. You like these delusional worlds of yours. You already think you're a White Republican who lives in Florida. So, why not. Keep it up.. as long it soothes you at night.

But really though, the other day you were saying my family is from Ajegunle which I assume is a socio-economically disadvantaged area in Lagos. As if, because people live there, they are bad people? Today, my relations are poor. Because people struggling in Nigeria and maybe don't have the privileges I was afforded are what, trash? Very Christian attitude of yours don't you think?

Yeah, Qatar is a layover destination. Clap for yourself. I guess that's where you go when you can't get a visa. Maybe you can stock up on some skin bleaching cream to make the trip worth it.

benalvino3:
Lol, I have the option to move to the UK whenever I like, You don't know me, I don't brag like you. Long before now, I have said United is one of the places i don't consider visiting. My Boss in the Office is an Igbo man, he has a Canadian passport but he chooses to work in Nigeria(pay is good). he is the manager. we have folks from the US working with us.

I don't know why you want to die on you are not in the US issues. You are new here, Clueless about many things. Not everyone is like you who eats and drinks juice, then takes photos of it.

I have worked in 2 different countries, same cannot be said of you. also, I don't usually do this. But the Next Gen of my family, lovely kids, and Nieces and Nephews just finished writing their exams... they left for the UK 4 days ago. 3 more in their first year in secondary school is going to join them. keep you America, I can just take a punt and come there to shut you up but I really don't care. I will be in Qatar for a vacation very soon.

When your relations are stuck in Nigeria, you think everyone is like them Your dad is the case study here. stuck in Nigeria. after all those years in the US, nothing to show for so he is in Enugu. Your Girlfriend cannot get a visitor visa to come and see you, she is stuck.

Your GF and dad is magically in the US now Good Lawd

This guy. You'd be a great psychological case study. A black man who hates his own skin and lives in a thread of a foreign country he's never been to and says he hates. I'm sure it all boils down to forms of jealousy and insecurity. Even if you wanted a US Visa, the shit you write in this thread, would most likely disqualify you.

You keep asking I'll keep sharing. As to my girl, part of her contract, outside the free Lagos apartment, car, driver, cook, cleaners, etc. is 3 business class round trip tickets a year so she can "work" out of their NY office as she was based in the US before moving to Nigeria. You wouldn't understand it because of those "options" we talked about earlier

Who eats and drinks and posts pictures... AH. This pic is your profile picture right? With the Golden Tulip prominently displayed so all can see? How long did it take to arrange that brochure? lol. I would have at least posted a pic at the Wheatbaker. You can spell Hypocrisy right?

benalvino3:
The gatekeeper of America. She has been on this Thread for many years. she knows I am not in the US. Your girlfriend stuck in Nigeria is not in the US so are your cousins and father. They are all alive and breathing. Though you think you are better than them because you are in the US. Privilege that makes you breath and sing everyday but you will soon cry about being oppressed.

This topic's resident Racist, who believes he's a White man who lives in the US. I see you still don't understand the difference between those Nigerians who have options where to live and choose to live in Nigeria vs. those without the option who have to live there and do things like raise chickens.

FYI, my g/f is currently in her apartment in NY(where her company is headquartered) and my dad is in his house in Boston. You know, those Nigerians with options I referenced earlier.

Are you going to be in Waco today ?

I was watching David Koresh ( Waco cult leader) on NF yesterday and this morning, I read Trump will be in Waco.

Lol. Was this post meant as shade? Benalvino3 has never been nor does he live in the US.

CoolUsername:
Aaaand, still no indictment. Until then, they are just posturing.

Who is posturing? What has Bragg said or done that is posturing?

CoolUsername:
There's no indictment because there's no case. The Statute of Limitations has already elapsed, so the case would get dismissed.

Misdemeanors have an SoL of 2 years but can be extended to 5 years if the defendant has been outside the state continuously or cannot be located during that time. Most felonies (barring rape and murder) have an SoLf 5 years too. Whatever the case may be, it seems like the time has elapsed.

So on one side we have the Manhattan DA (District Attorney) who is an actual lawyer and has a team of top lawyers all intimately knowledgeable of NY's laws and statute of limitations, who decided to empanel a Grand Jury.
On the other side, we have a guy who lives in Nigeria, who I don't think is a lawyer, who hasn't passed the BAR in NY, let alone fully understands NY law, doesn't know what legal theory Bragg is contemplating or even what charges he may file, wants to tell us about the statute of limitations.

Ask yourself, which person's legal opinion would you go with?

Giving how the Appeals court did Trump a couple of days ago (they put an end to his delay tactics and denied his appeal within 24 hours), things aren't looking good for him

Lol.

benalvino3:
Look at this Hypocrite Who thinks if you havent been to the US you cannot discuss the US but turn around and discuss the US with Obrigardo

If it wasn't for wokeness and your Skin, you won't have survived your first year in Harvard with how dumb you are, they probably think it is racist to fail you.

Very illuminating post. The kind of post I'd expect from a Racist white person. Go figure.
Wanted to archive it.

I was thinking about what McCarthy did with Alvin Bragg. If anyone is interested, you should read Alvin Bragg's response to Jim Jordon's letter asking him to testify before congress. Basically, a Republican chair of a committee who believes in States rights threatened to drag a State DA to Congress, not because of an indictment he HAD made (which would still be an abuse of power), but only because a member of their party said he would be indicted on a certain day most likely to raise money. So, without knowing the charges or knowing the evidence behind any charges, they decided to try to Bully a DA into not filing charges. That is pure Weaponization of the Fed government. The kind of stuff that happens in Banana Republics where certain people are above the law. And the Democratic party response?... crickets. Democracy dies in darkness.. the Democratic party has to wake up and stop hoping people are smart enough to figure it out.

Wow. You can't have a rational discussion with Benalivo3. The way he thinks is a meld of his lack of critical thinking skills and then a lot cognitive dissonance because he can't resolve being wrong, which empirically, he always mostly is. So, he'll argue and argue just not to be wrong. And as most Trumpers, they think they are smarter than they are, as if "FEELINGS" substitute for actually logical arguments based in fact. I learned when he spend days arguing people with Boosters are getting Covid at higher rates than the Unvaccinated, even though scientifically that would make no sense and the articles he himself posted said otherwise. It was startling.

Obrigardo:
Oh yes I did
I've been crazy dipped in AI for some days now and it came in handy coz I worked in the product design department of one lifestyle company. So it was like Photoshop to me.

Nice.. Good stuff.

Trump is going to finish Desantis before Desantis even starts.

Obrigardo:
The first is so funny damn

Let me see if I can make one like that lol

You actually made the ones you posted?

These were great.

Obrigardo:
Criminal trump has made many people dumbed to crime. Even the Appeals court giving the criminals lawyer 6am to submit a deadline in the stay of Judge Howell's ruling is a rare sight. In the old days that would have been breaking news non stop.

But soon he's gonna be taken out of the picture, the cancer must be removed.

They denied the appeal. Crime-Fraud Exemption. Wonder if he's going to appeal it further. The courts are wise to his trying to game the system.

I'm not sure what you are going on about.. it's incoherent and the post seems somewhat deranged to me.
Honestly, have you ever said anything intelligent in this thread? Wait.. have you ever written a complete sentence?

Obrigardo:
Lock Criminal trump up!
Lock him up!

I just realized this mornings how Normalized I have become to Trump's abnormal ways. How amazing is it that people are barely shrugging that a Federal judge using the rarely used CRIME/FRAUD exception is forcing the Attorney of an Ex-President to testify. And the attorney/client privilege is sacrosanct in the US. Let that sink in. One attorney has already been to jail. His attorneys have to get attorneys. What a time we are living in.

Since you seem to be curious. My Dad holds a US and Nigerian passport. He is retired and spends 70% of the year in Nigeria in his various houses(yeah, that was purposeful) in the East and Lagos and the rest of the time in his house in the US.

But the point is some of those who don't have the ability to leave have to accept their circumstances. And I've met a lot of Nigerians who seem to be comfortable accepting those circumstances and not expecting more.

Obrigardo:
I remember when basilico loco use to disturb us with lock her up chants. Now he's the same hypocrite that's disturbing us criminal trumps indictment is political retribution.

Just as brainless as this magat below. They always always own themselves.

Hypocrisy is the GOP's strong suit.

CoolUsername:
Seems like you have an iteresting take on the American Civil War.

This person makes the argument not prosecuting Trump is treating him above the law. He argues prosecuting the crime of falsifying business records is common in NY. He adds cases to back up his point.

The US that fought a war to abolish slavery? I beg to differ.

Compare what happened post Holocaust to what happened post slavery. Could you imagine finding Hitler's bust anywhere?

budaatum:
This is like saying, until a dump comes along and promotes dumpism.

Desantis might get away with it for a while, but people will react when they see what Desantis decided and then decide to keep Desantis or dump Desantis' ass. T

That's what makes democracy so beautiful, you see. We the crazy demos get to reevaluate our decisions every 4 years and decide whether to keep them or dump them. That's what we did with dump.

You're more hopeful than I. There was a recent poll that said Conservatives would want an autocratic government if it supported their views. I think Trump's election was a seismic shift in terms of how people view Democracy.

budaatum:
I agree with the long term benefits of continuation, but not that the role backs are as intense or as bad as you propose since some role backs are good. Still, if the people do not want roll backs, they can keep electing the same party and get continuity, so it's the people who decide in the end.

...

The Chinese system would never be accepted in USA nor UK because neither has the DNA for it. In fact, the only countries that adopt anything close to what China has is called a despotic nation by those who don't share such systems. It's the sort that Nicolae Ceaușescu, Ivan the Terrible, Robespierre, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot et al tried to impose but failed.

Yes, I was both siding it when I really meant the Biden roll backs were good. But still, the US I think is far behind things like basic infrastructure (Detroit - lead in the water, failing Bridges, etc.) let alone developing for the future. And that is a byproduct of having crazy Republican rule and hence no continuation of policies. I didn't even know Carter had put solar panels on the White-House and Reagan took them down. Imagine where the US would had been now if we had invested in Solar then.

In terms of systems being accepted. I'm thinking more of the future as China becomes a bigger player and more people see the upsides of having a dictator vs. democracy. Already thanks to Trump Democracy is backsliding in countries like Mexico and Israel. In fact, as I said, I could see Republicans embracing it.

budaatum:
I doubt the majority were opposed to Brown v. Board of Education. It's like claiming the majority supported dump, when, on seeing he was dump, they rose up and dumped his ass.

Besides, laws against Brown v. Board of Education were already well established, so Brown v. Board of Education was difficult to oppose. They might have well opposed the freeing of slaves, in which case we shall impose on their stupid so called "majority opinion".

Equality Act 2010 protects the following characteristics: age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.

And apart from the law, we have education whereby minority rights are taught. It's why a lot of nations are in a pickle today trying to protect the minority gays and even transgenders. In countries where minority rights don't matter, a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl and neither the two shall change.

You can't even preach what use to be the majority religion in UK anymore, not even in a Church of England school.


Funny that anti-discrimination laws may be unpopular, but they still get to pass regardless in enlightened countries at least. While discrimination laws may be popular but they don't get to pass regardless.

Most countries don't just rely on laws, but on educating its citizens too. And prior to education, people sat in church and were told to love their neighbours whoever they may be, which evolved into the Equality Act above, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in my siggy below even though that verse took centuries to be understood as such.

Unpopular, or popular, is judged by it's merit, and most have brains for that. That's why we abolished slavery even though it had its majority in some places, and why I have faith in the human race eventually doing that which is right.

You are right about the majority position vis a vis Brown v. Board. Found a "poll", that had it at 55-40 in support right after the decision. But that 49% of whites supported it. In researching that I wondered about the Dread Scott decision (basically a US Supreme court decision that said African Americans could never be US citizens) and found the justice who penned the decision still his bust prominently displayed in Congress up until 2022 when it was replaced with a bust of Thurgood Marshall. The US really really didn't give a sh*t about black people.

Agree about the education, but that is all good until you have someone like a DeSantis decide what can and can't be thought.

But, there is a real debate in terms of what type of system works best. Look at China. They have the ability to strategize and implement long term objectives(belt and road, energy, infrastructure.. etc etc.) because they have a dictator for life. While every 4 years a new US President comes in and rolls back what the previous one did while Congress is focused on platitudes trying to win the next election.

budaatum:
I am beating the hell out of you, so you should just give up so I don't beat you no more?

What's funny is this your thinking is not limited to Ukraine. When black people in America awaken to fight against discrimination your reaction seems to be the same, that they should stop fighting against discrimination because they will be beaten and killed by their more powerful discriminators. Its hard for you to understand that some will rather fight their oppressors than submit to oppression.

Benaalvino3 seems to an appeaser mixed with side of Stockholm syndrome. But I guess living in Nigeria may do that to you. At a point some people have to be ok not wanting more or expecting more to be sane right? So, why should black people want equality when they should be happy with what they have. Or why should Ukrainians want their liberty and freedom, when they should just be happy taking what the Russians are giving them or allow them to have.

Look at his last argument. Basically, just be happy you are in the US, don't complain about lack of equality, don't expect better or more. It's like his soul has been dominated.

Republicans arguing that Trump paying off a PORN STAR who he was cheating on his pregnant wife with is a purely personal matter because he used personal funds. Ha. "The party of Christ".

It's going to be a crazy, very interesting "Legal" period if Trump does get indicted and has to stand trail somewhere. It's going to strain our Legal institution and the concept that everyone is equal under the law.. well publicly strain it as we know it's not true.

Ex. What happens with the Secret Service if he has to stand trial? How do they protect him without prejudicing the Prosecution? Can they be in court, do they sit next to him? Can they research the jurors for threats? And if he does run for President at the same time? What if he gets indicted and convicted and is in jail, yet somehow wins the Presidency? Can he be president. The last one is a stretch but seems there will be a lot of issues that spring up.

Obrigardo:
Fùck you boy, you think I care about your opinion? You are a black person hater, and that's been established for a long time coming.

Imagine a person who lives in a country where he will never be a racial minority and who's never been anywhere where he can understand being a racial minority lecturing to others on what racism is or isn't.

budaatum:
But isn't popular opinion exactly what democracy is?

I would say yes, if tempered with minority rights. Thinking what the majority opinion in the US would have been during Brown v. Board of Education.

But, I do think people's opinions change so there should be a period where a leader can implement things that may be unpopular and let them play out. In the US we have impeachment if a President does something that outrageous, but needs a supermajority to pass.

But, yes standing up in Parliament would be nice. I think only two recent Presidents would have been effective. Clinton and Obama. Bush 2 was an idiot. Trump was an idiot who didn't study. Biden is knowledgeable but always made gaffes and his age doesn't help.

To the rest, I'm not knowledgeable enough about UK political systems to have an informed perspective.

To inject a little fact into this fiction. John Edwards was indicted for similar. And at the time there was widespread belief that he would be the Dem standard bearer after Kerry lost. He was indicted soon after that election by his ex rival Bush's DOJ (edit). I don't remember any Dem holding hearings on the politicization of the Justice Department for going after an ex-VP candidate and former Senator who was most likely running again.

The fact that PMs can be changed so easily is what makes the system desirable, as it puts the ruling party on its toes. They still are of the same party that changed them, note.

I'm not so sure. Sometimes policies take time to percolate and there may be intense anger at it's inception. Seems like a recipe to hue too closely to current popular opinion.

Basilico is insane, seriously. I can't imagine how a normal human being can survive in the echo chamber he swims in daily. Sooner than later he'll find himself acting out his frustrations just like any demoralized cult member.

Even criminal trumps own think thank told him there was no evidence of voter fraud but he didn't care. And it's quite a shame basilico will turn his sights against the truth. How can someone live a peaceful and happy life like that?

He's definitely not well. Gives off Christian Cultish vibes like Branch Davidian. As you said, I can't imagine someone spending day and night immersed in all that fringe Right wing propaganda.

BraniacX:
it was/is about American interests, panama was a province of Colombia whose armed secession America supported and funded for American maritime interests, building the canal was an overt act of imperialism and there was little to nothing benevolent about it. It could only take a Jimmy Carter to recognize America's moral injustice and hand over the canal to Panama. Same thing i think Russia is trying to implement with Ukraine in the crimea vis-a-vis securing their Mediterranean fleet via the black sea. I don't see them having America's Panama success though, and today, after Iraq and Afghanistan, i don't see the U.S being so overtly imperialistic as it was back then, it's no longer the wild wild west of days of yon

Yes, mostly agree with the first part. But I do believe the US always leans toward moral justice as evidenced by what Carter did. Yes, that is what Russia is trying to do. I don't see it being successful as well since the West esp. Europe also has an imperative not to allow Russia to control that region and what it produces. I'm really not sure what Russia is doing, seems very destructive esp. in this generation. But I watched some of Zelensky's tv show "servant of the People" and was amazed at how much of a Western influence the show had. Even jokes based on Western history. I can understand why Russia hates it so.

BraniacX:
Nigeria should align with Nigeria i.e non-aligned, pity we don't have capable leaders currently, we only have yes men who only go abroad (cap in hand) to have terms dictated to them by various power blocs like servile dolts

Ideally, yes. The issue is the yes man, not forging strategic alliances. Nigeria is so far behind that we do need strategic partnerships and we can negotiate good deals if we have good leadership.

And I'd rather the US align with the US/Western alliances than what is shaping up to be a China led alternative.
