SlyFoxxDaGOAT:I recognize this idiotic posting style. Did you really get banned and/or get a new username just to look for my attention? Who does that? You're like a stalker. I was SPOT-ON about you. |
adamusuleiman11:Great free market, laissez-faire Republican there. Lol |
SlyFoxxDaGOAT:I assume you know this topic is about US politics. If I live in the US, so what would "global matters" have to do with this topic? It's local to me as I live in the US, Global to you as you live in Nigeria. Hope that was helpful. FYI, I have 2 current passports. Do you have any? |
saxywale2:He fn'ing infuriates me. He is literally on the stump calling Warnock a "slick, educated, fast talking black man". The racist caricature of Black Men "being criminal and not knowing their place". And it has to be a known campaign tactic geared toward bringing up those racist feelings, because that's all he says now. I despise that dude. |
SlyFoxxDaGOAT:Yes, the same way that any black person who is allowed in the KKK is a token. You get my point. And FYI, Trump wanted him to run because he was BLACK and thought he could split the Black vote with Warnock who is also black. |
raumdeuter:Google House Negro vs. Field Negro. This isn't a new concept. |
raumdeuter:I hear you on Biden, but I think what he has done has been important none the less. Of all the brilliant black lawyers in the US, why hasn't there been any on the Supreme Court prior to now. You're mad at Biden for what he did, but there should be more outrage for the fact that there haven't been any up until this point. |
raumdeuter:Actually, the Republican party has a history of elevating token Black people in order to pretend their party is not racist. See Clearance Thomas, See Herschel Walker. |
raumdeuter:You're right. Didn't like that approach. It did sort of diminish their accomplishments. But, on the flip side, so what? The argument you're making relies on the proposition that at any moment there aren't dozens of Highly Competent Black women to fill that role. And not matter what a large part of the country would have diminished their accomplishments regardless because they are Black. |
raumdeuter:Nice attempt. You've missed the point in your attempt to play gotcha. I didn't bring up Colin Powell. When he mentioned Colin Powell, I then added my opinion. My cut off is ALWAYS, are you smart or not. Don't care about the rest, man, woman, black, white. I'm allergic to STUPID people. If you want my opinion on the rest, ASK. And more generally, If you want to talk about my view on affirmative action and White privilege, Ask. Otherwise take the gotcha games somewhere else. |

SlyFoxx4Life:Most of what you write is asinine. My head hurts trying to make sense of your logic and contradictory points. I keep saying you have 0 idea of the US and you keep proving it. FYI, Blue states are more Populus than red states. The only reason the Senate is divided is because the electoral college is weighted toward land not people. But, again, this is stuff you'd learn in a high school US civics or geography class. There's an expression; It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, than open your open and remove all doubt. Keep writing so everyone knows how much of a fool you truly are. It's very easy to be an anonymous Internet tough guy, innit. Very easy to talk big when there are no repercussions, innit? The problem for you is your words betray you. The way you write, the lack of critical thinking, your misogyny. It confirms the type of person you are and the type of people you associate with. Not people who are really about anything. And definitely not the type of person who lived in the West for any long period of time. But you probably don't know what I'm talking about. See, you're a wounded child, flinging poop, lashing out and looking for the affirmation of the grown ups. Deep in your heart you know you're not on my level. Trust that feeling. FYI, you can save your screenshots, they are probably fake. But as I said, I know what schools I went to and as I said unless you have an Oxford degree, your third tier schools aren't better than mine. Also, I know the type of loud mouth you are, if you went to a top tier school, you'd probably put it your signature. lol. Don't worry, being an idiot is probably just a genetic thing. |
I guess Jan. 6 was a big deal after all.

SlyFoxx4Life:You are one confused person. So blinded by self hate, you sit in a country full of black and brown people and listen to racists halfway across the world in a country you'll never live in, trashing those same Black and Brown people. You then go online and regurgitate their propaganda. Riddle me this, what happens when able bodied people can't find work or don't work? Do you think some fairy magical being gives them housing? They become HOMELESS esp. in a city like Boston where a cheap 1 bedroom is ~US 1,500 a month. So, you have just explained the reason there is homelessness in the US. So. you either find a way to help them or you don't, but if you choose not to, then why yap your mouth about it or show pics of able bodies homeless people? The depth of your thought is so fk'ing limited. Let me break some of your myths and propoganda. 1.) The counties that voted for Biden account for 70% of the US economy. Yes, Dems are the ones that drive the US economy. Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America’s economy. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/11/09/biden-voting-counties-equal-70-of-americas-economy-what-does-this-mean-for-the-nations-political-economic-divide/ 2.) Biden won more college educated voters than Trump did Biden Vs. Trump: The College Education Divide Is Wider Than Ever https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2020/06/15/biden-vs-trump-the-college-education-divide-may-be-wider-than-ever/?sh=55b981a27999 3.) Red states(Republicans) get more welfare than Blue states (Democrats) Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed https://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2004/09/red_states_feed.html Blue State Bailout? Red State Residents Received Largest Stimulus Checks, And Millions In Federal Aid https://www.forbes.com/sites/shaharziv/2020/05/12/blue-state-bailout-red-state-residents-received-largest-stimulus-checks-and-millions-in-federal-aid/?sh=396bb6ce8352 Now to the personal. I don't give a sh*t about whatever third tier education you received or bullsh*t businesses you think you've opened. Unless you went to Oxford in the UK, I can guarantee my education was better than yours. You should drop the childish attempts at comparing yourself to me and focus on reading and developing more coherent arguments. |
SlyFoxx4Life:Your list makes my point. You listed minorities who white people have ok'd as being competent. Outside of Condoleezza Ricce, there's nothing particularly "Brilliant" about the rest on your list. They are Brilliant only is as much as White Republicans have held them up in their party. Now, I respect Colin Powell for being the voice he has. The others have actually set minorities back. Now, if you want to look at affirmative action or people being elevated because of the color of their skin, look at that list you wrote. And include in them Herschel Walker etc. etc. Now, I've heard Karine Jean Pierre before she became White House Press secretary. She always seemed composed and smart. Jen Psaki was brilliant, but Karine Jean Pierre is probably as competent if not more than any Press secretary in Trump's White House. And FYI, the White House press secreatry job has to be one of the hardest there is. You have to not only be quick on your feet but be able to assimilate and understand a wide breadth of ever changing information on every discipline so that you can take random questions on any of it. Honestly, you should sit back and ask yourself why you've internalized soo many racist tropes. |
SlyFoxx4Life:I think you need more self awareness. Do you not live in Nigeria? The US has a lot of safety nets. Some people fall through, usually by mental illness or drug use. But your pic is probably one small part of any big city in the US. Now I love Nigeria, but I see scenes like that all over even Lagos, even near the nicest hotels I stay in on the Island. I had to drive from Abuja to the East when a flight got rerouted and some parts I drove through looked like a bomb went off. That level of poverty I had never seen anywhere. If you had an ounce of self-awareness, you wouldn't be criticizing any other country for poverty/homelessness. But, you should pick a lane. Either you're a Republican who doesn't believe in safety nets (welfare etc.) and those scenes don't bother you or they do and you agree with the Dems that that we need more spending to prevent them. Honestly, you're just a troll who seeks attention. Nothing you post is actually even rational. |
SlyFoxx4Life:Ask yourself why you only question how/why minorities esp. women minorities got their jobs. Have you ever asked how any white person got their job? There are those of use who work doubly hard to leave a legacy that propels other minorities to new positions of power and more equal opportunities. And there are others like you, who hate themselves and try so hard to be accepted by people who hate them, that they work hard to tear down other minorities by using RACIST talking points in hopes that will bring them acceptance. Be proud of yourself Assh*l*. |
tamudabu:They had their democracy when they voted for the board. Rather spend the lawyers, money and time in GA for the special election there. If the Republicans care about their representation they should spend their money on it. I |
An Arizona county has refused to certify election results by the legal deadline https://www.npr.org/2022/11/28/1139447507/arizona-midterm-election-results-cochise-county So, this is a Republican county and not certifying will probably cost the Republicans a House seat. But the below convo is who Dems. are and why they always tend to lose against Republicans. Republicans screw themselves. Dems fight to help Republicans not screw themselves. Elect more Republicans, who then screw all of us.

PDPGuy:Outside of increased lending rates it's a good thing. Housing costs esp. in my area have gone crazy. You walk down a street around me and you'll see a small 3 bedroom around 1800 sq ft house for ~$800,000. Now a nice house is ~$1.1 million +. A friend bought a house for $1.4 million 4 years ago, decided to move and sold it for ~$2.1 million a couple of months back. |
basilico:Everything you wrote is propaganda. 1.) The process the FBI used is what is always used. They have to show the chain of custody. From the place they got the documents to court. If they didn't take the pics on the floor of his office, then Trump can argue in court that they planted them while they were in the FBI office. The DOJ can't by regulation discuss the case in public. So this document was gratuitously placed in a Court Filing to shut up Trump and his lies. 2.) By the regulations governing these documents, Trump's office was an unsecured site. Even his safe was an unsecured site. The regulations governing these documents prescribe the thickness of walls, type of locks etc. etc. where the documents can be stored. In fact they are only supposed to looked at in SCIFS. They are transported by Military Personal and everyone who touches them has to sign that they have received them. These were highly guarded secrets. 3.) Trump is no longer President. All of the Documents are Government property. He could have declassified some of them up until he left office. The minute Biden was sworn in he controls the classification. He could have immediately reclassified them and being Government documents, Trump would have broken the law as he shouldn't have had them to begin with. But that's not what happened. There has been 0 record that he declassified them. In fact the special master asked him to state which documents he declassified. He didn't and wouldn't. Again, lying in court is a crime. Not so much to people like you. Lastly, by law he doesn't own the classification to Nuclear Secrets. So, no matter what he couldn't declassify those. 4.)During search warrants, nobody is allowed in the place being searched. But Trump kept his CCTV on. He watched it. Ask yourself why he didn't release the video? They had an informant who told them where to find the documents. If they looked in Melania's closet it is because they had a good faith basis to believe that documents were there. Because they had to go before a judge and describe the exact locations they wanted to search and what probable cause they had for searching those locations before being approved for the search warrant. 5.) Trump filed the suit for the special master. And thus he has to prove his case that the documents were planted and that he declassified them. It seems Trump would have happily did that. He didn't. The Special Master ruled that he had to prove it. He appealed the ruling to Judge Cannon and his appointed Judge Cannon overturned the Senior Judge Cannon herself chose. Ask yourself why he didn't just end it and show all the proof he had. 6.) The 100 documents you are referring to were the TOP SECRET documents. They are probably a handful of people in the world who can access them. Though the Special Master has clearance by being a Judge, Trump's council wouldn't have. There was 0 chance the DOJ was going to let his attorneys look at them. One of his attorneys is registered as a foreign agent. Also I posit one reason his attorneys wanted so bad to see them is just so they could get the security clearance to do so. They could them monetize that clearance. (not many attorneys have that level of clearance) The Gov. appealed the ruling and the Appeals court with 2 Trump judges ruled 3-0. In fact they decimated Judge Cannon in that ruling. But ask yourself. If they were Spygate documents Trump had, which he supposedly declassified, why didn't he release them? And why hasn't he said that's what they were? Lies work in the public, but again it is PERJURY to lie in court. So, don't listen to what Trump says on twitter, listen to what his lawyers say in court and what they say in court filings they have to sign under penalty of penury. |
basilico:That is FBI process. They mark/document where they got the evidence from initially. So they probably opened the drawer and took a picture of the drawer with the documents there first. Then they took all the responsive documents they found in a particular location(room etc) and put them together to mark what room/place they came from. So, the FBI agents who did the search spread them out like that on the floor to document that all those documents came from that particular room. And I believe the FBI agents didn't even have the necessary clearances to even open the folders or review the documents with those markings. So, they just gathered them photographed them and put them in boxes without reading them. Trump has had the ability to say under oath that the FBI planted documents. He didn't, even when pressed by the Special Master. It's easier for Trump to lie in public than court. There are criminal penalties for lying in court. |
basilico:They were looking for Classified Documents during the raid. And they found them. In fact the headers for one of the documents that were pictured on the floor meant that the document inside of that folder in fact had to do with Nuclear Weapons. Here is an article on it https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/09/fbi-found-nuclear-documents-trump-called-a-hoax.html And this is a good write-up of what was found. And what the markings on those documents mean. https://www.electrospaces.net/2022/09/the-highly-classified-documents-found.html Also look at the picture of the documents that they retrieved. Below is a list of what the markings on the documents mean - SI = Special Intelligence (intelligence from intercepted communications) - G = GAMMA (sensitive communication intercepts) - NOFORN = No Foreign Nationals - ORCON = Originator Controlled - HCS = HUMINT Control System (intelligence from human sources) - HCS-O = HCS Operations (HUMINT operations and methods) - HCS-P = HCS Product (HUMINT intelligence reports) - TK = TALENT-KEYHOLE (intelligence from satellite collection) - TS = Top Secret (release would cause exceptionally grave damage to national security) - SAP = Special Access Program (non-intelligence equivalent of SCI) - NF = NOFORN (see above) - OC = ORCON (see above) - FRD = Formerly Restricted Data (about nuclear weapons) - NATO = Releasable to NATO partners - S = Secret (release would cause serious damage to national security) - C = Confidential (release would cause damage to national security) What is insane is that he had those documents sitting in an unsecured room at his hotel/club house. Again, you don't have to take my word for any of this. Look at the picture of the documents the FBI took that the DOJ submitted to the court by signed declaration under penalty of perjury and put all the words you see in google. |
basilico:Yup. Blind Deaf and Dumb. FYI, The first Amendment tells us what the GOVERNMENT can't do. Non government companies can censor. They can run their business the way they want. The same is true on Nairaland (which regularly bans people), I'm sure even your favorite alt-right site bans people for saying certain things. A lot of it has to do with liability. And if Congress does repeal sect. 230, you'll see much much more of it as companies will then be held liable for the speech they allow on their platforms. Goodbye to all the right wing false information you read. Also. Even the 1st amendment isn't absolute. There are circumstances when the Government can limit speech. Check out Brandenburg v. Ohio (it's a US Supreme Court Case). It argues that even the government can limit speech if 1.) The speech is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action,” AND 2.) The speech is “likely to incite or produce such action.” Doesn't it sux when your 5 second sound bite, meets actual facts. |
basilico:Actually it is. The Secret Services job is to prevent threats to their protectees. And the only reason they know who is a threat is to know about that person. If that means filtering Youtube videos, they will filter Youtube videos. But at this point they probably already have a profile on him. They most likely told him who he was and he didn't care. Just like he didn't care that his supporters had weapons during Jan. 6th. Because they aren't there to hurt him. But I understand to support a person like Trump you have to be or pretend to be Blind, Deaf and Dumb. You are doing a good job at that. |
basilico:I assume you've never voted in the US, nor understand the arcane state by state/county by county voting rules. This was caught by an election audit that most counties have to test the machines and voting process. And because the race was so close, they will probably have another recount. Your argument is that, because we had a Human error (not identifying a memory card in time), let's do a hand count to introduce more human error. And a hand count which would probably take 2 weeks or more to complete. There in itself lies the problem. Republicans like the confusion of voting, it helps them make the case that voting is hard to help depress the vote. The more people who Vote means Republicans will lose. The long lines you see are a product of Republicans limiting voting places and voting times to depress the vote. The length of counting votes, is the Republicans limiting when certain votes can be counted (i.e mail in votes) and how they are counted. If you were truly interested in fair elections, you would have supported the Democrats Voting Rights Bill that standardized elections, and did things like making it illegal for people to stand in line to vote for more than 1 hour (in some Black counties in Republican led states people stand in line 6-8 hours to vote). So, as all things, Republicans purposefully break something but yet convince their uneducated base to blame the Democrats who always try to fix it. It's amusing hearing Kari Lake talking about the length of the vote count, people waiting in line, etc when REPUBLICANS are the ones who ran the elections and made those rules in their attempt to disenfranchise Democratic votes. But what did Democrats do, they pushed their supporters to vote early and by mail where they could. |
basilico:Think, my man, THINK. This is the ex-President of the United States who is running to be President again and a supposed Billionaire who has not only a FULL staff but 24 hour Secret Service Protection (The premier protection detail in the World, whose only objective is to know who is around to make sure there are no threats). Now THINK. What is scarier, this man knowing who this person was and having Dinner with him or NOT KNOWING who this person was and having dinner with him? Yeah, it's the latter. Him being stupid isn't the ringing endorsement you think it is. And doesn't make you supporting him any better. |
feedthenation:This is who Trump had dinner with [url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko304iDR920 [/url] Let me rephrase that. The ex-US President who is currently running for President had dinner with a White Supremacist, who openly talks about his hate of Black and Jewish people and a RACE War. An admitted racist and Anti-Semite. And not only did our former President have dinner with him, he called him IMPRESSIVE. Imagine that. Yet we have Black people on this forum from a country full of black people, who openly support that President. Imagine that. What type of people worship people who hate them and don't even think they're human? |
adamusuleiman11: |
SlyFoxx4Life:In that clip I saw an African man trying to tell a woman how to do her job as if he knew better than her. And continue to do so even when she told him to stop. It wreaked of sexism. And that's what a lot of Americans esp. American woman saw. He actually embarrassed Nigerians and Africans (as most Americans don't know the difference). |
SlyFoxx4Life:Try the disclaimer, it'll make the forum a better place. Pro Tip: Arguing that you don't think I'm university educated or that you don't think I live in the US just makes you sound daft. Stay in the lane that I'm a political animal or whatever juvenile comments you come up with day to day. That lane is better than sounding like someone who is wholly incapable of discernment esp. when it comes to what type of people they are talking to. Anyhow, wasted enough time on this today. Have a happy Thanksgiving All. I'll enjoy some turkey on your behalf. lol |
SlyFoxx4Life:Again, how does that change the fact that you haven't lived in the US or Studied the US so have little basis to really know anything in detail about it? Yes, there are people who know more about US laws than born and raised citizens do, So what. That just makes them more informed than someone that knows little about the US. I don't listen to them either unless they've shown some expertise in that topic. You haven't. In fact most of what you post isn't subjective things, they are incorrect objective information - misinformation (not disinformation as I don't think you know enough to know it's wrong). I wouldn't have said anything to you if you didn't post so much of that mis-information under the guise of somehow actual knowledge, experience, expertise. Things you clearly don't carry. Here's an idea. Can we agree that you put a disclaimer under your posts. Such as: "SlyFoxx4Life Disclaimer I have no real experience or expertise in US Politics, Law, Government or Culture. I have never lived there or formally/informally studied the US. Most of what I post is what I "feel" or "believe" or cobbled together from internet Memes. So, most things in my post likely won't align with any real facts." Let me know, we can tweak it if you don't like it. |

Baba if you like don’t believe, that is you and your fathers headache, but I categorically made the choice not to even go STUDY in that fvcking country talkless of live there. You think everybody is a homeless bastard like you that could not cut it in your country so you had to run overseas to become a second class citizen in a country you do nothing but come online to complain about 24/7 because you yourself know how pathetic your life is there? Working whatever pathetic menial job you are doing there that barely even leaves you with enough money to send your hapless parents back here? Hahahaha. Bro take a trip to Lagos let me spoil you small. Or maybe on my next visit to the states. I can tell that country has really dealt with you.
you are literally retarded. Either that or you really do think you are debating with a child. Hahah
