Bahaha. No idiot. It’s your fathers passport I borrow to travel ode. Poverty mentality. Now even having passport is achievement to this clown. Stop embarrassing yourself like this brov.

And my point is that both on US politics and international/current affairs, your knowledge level is akin to that of a 12 your old boy. In other words you are a fvcking ignoramus.
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.

Ron DeSantis says Apple removing elonmusk's Twitter from app store warrants Congressional response:

"That would be a huge, huge mistake, and it would be a really raw exercise of monopolistic power that I think would merit a response from the United States Congress."
Great free market, laissez-faire Republican there. Lol

If he really lives there at all then he is no different from your everyday ignorant American. Maybe he is not widely traveled enough to know there is a global stereotype about Americans being daft and naive. Especially when it comes to global matters.
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?

That guy (bolded) is always funny to me. Speaks like someone that just left the hood. Georgia's finest.
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.

So every black person who excels in republican politics is automatically a “token black person”? sounds like you are the racist here.

And FYI Hershel Walker’s success in the GOP primary was mainly due to his personal friendship with Donald Trump. It had nothing to do with him being a “token”. The establishment didn’t even want him.
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.

Why does Ketanji Jackson who was picked for being a black women not fit an example of a token black?
Google House Negro vs. Field Negro. This isn't a new concept.

It matters when the main consideration the person picking you gave is that you are a black woman. Jackson probably bested many white Asian, Latino Black men and women to get to the post. Reducing her qualification to her gender is silly

Only idiiots will diminish the accomplishments, If its easy you go ahead and do it. Ben Carson is a neurosurgeon there are idiots who will say its because he is this or that, Then go ahead and become a neuro if its easy
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.

And your opinion was that Colin Powell was propelled by Republicans because he was a minority
which will bring me to ask you that Ask yourself why you only question how/why minorities got their jobs.
Those are the type of conversations you will expect to hear at a KKK meeting but here you have it a black person repeating the same vile lines like that above

One would think Collin Powell did not rise through the ranks to become a General
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.

To add to your point

Joe Biden will chose Kamala and Judge Ketanji but he had to say it that I will be picking a Black woman!! Why do you need to mention the black woman and make it seem that the most important qualification is the person being a Black woman

It would have been different if he just said "I will be picking the most competent American" and picked Judge Jackson but to play to the identity he had to ridicule her years of Harvard JD education and achievements to elevate the Black woman part

What is the most important part of Judge Jackson ascent to the SCOTUS is it that she is one of the most competent American at this time or just the black female according Biden
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.

The irony given you were the same person who posted the below hours ago



Why are you not questioning Petreus, McChrystal and other white Generals. But Collin Powell the black General is the one under scrutiny and you identify as Democrats

Colin Powell was propelled by Republicans because he was a minority

The Democrats can barely hide their inherent racism anymore. They only believe the Democratic party is the only party who can lift black people yet almost50yrs of voting Democrats what is the lot of the average black person
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.

Bahahaha. I can feel the emotions. Nigga is in tears. You libs are so easy to own Because you are ruled more by emotions than logic. Take it easy bro. Don’t kill yourself because of someone you don’t even know on a faceless Internet forum.

Now let me give you a point by point response to your highly nonsensical post which my 12 year old cousin would even laugh at

1. AGAIN with the “you will never live in American” taking point.. hahahahahahahahaha. Brov. At this point I believe this is some form of self therapy for you after I destroy you. I can feel the raw emotions oozing from that very sentence. Bro, fist of all who the fvck told you I have any interest in living in the United Stateshuh 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.

At this point I am getting tempted to drop some more receipts to shut you up like I did to shut up 1stGenAmerican when she had the gull to ask me if I can afford 2 square meals in Nigeria but honestly I feel like I have already given away too much personal information on this pointless thread to total anonymous nincompoops so I wouldn’t make that mistake again. Just know everything I say here is based on facts and not because I listen to any “racists” like you claim. That’s the buzz word of you pathetic liberals. Once you lose the argument just shout “racist” and you think that settles everything hahahhahahah. Brov. You guys have used that word so much it has practically lost its meaning. So no problem. Keep shouting “racist” like the emotional morons you are while more matured minds discuss actual statistics and policies. We don’t even pay anymore mind to that “racism” nonsense. So go Kill yourself if e pain you too much. Pathetic weak man. You remind me of my b!tch I swear.

2. If an able bodied person cannot find or create a means of employment for himself then YES he deserves not to eat. The Bible itself says this! You lazy ignorant fucktards. There is only so much the government can do for you. I already said there should be a limited safety net for able bodied people who can’t find work but it cannot last forever. The social security system won’t survive if more people benefit than contribute to it. That’s a simple economic fact. I’m sorry if it hurt your little delicate feelings. I notice how you didn’t even address this aspect in your response. Even in a country like Nigeria which you rightly pointed out has basically no safety nets, people manage to find ways to feed themselves no matter how difficult. Come to Lagos and see even handicapped people hawking products on the streets. I’m not saying this is ideal but it perfectly encapsulates the hustler mentality of the typical Nigerian. Just imagine if conditions were made slightly better for these same people. There is no limit to what they would achieve. This was the mentality of Americans in times past that made that country the great country it used to be. Way before social security ballooned into the behemoth it is today. Way before Americans became the lazy, entitled, gender confused, immoral and amoral people they are today that is leading to the country’s near-certain collapse. This is the reason why Nigerians and Asians travel to the US and excel more than the homegrown Americans. Because they have that “killer instinct” that Americans used to be known for but have all but lost.

Now to some other pints you raised


3. The counties that voted Biden account for 70% of the economy LOL; everyone knows democrats always win the urban areas whilst republicans win the rural areas. That’s not news to anyone but this datapoint is lopsided because it does not account for the many people who work in these counties but live full time in outlying counties. There are many nuances to this statistic that I really don’t think you are literate enough to understand so I won’t even bother.

4. Biden won more college educated voters; so what? The vast majority of college grads graduated with a completely useless degree that couldn’t even pay for itself and ended up in so much debt that Biden had to lie to them he would forgive just to win midterm votes lmao. Just over 30% of Americans have college degrees which means the vast majority of the workforce of that country, the people who do the actual hard jobs, don’t have college degrees. I don’t think this is a great a taking pint as you thought it was in your stupid head when you made that comment. As someone with 2 college degrees, I can tell you they are overhyped. In terms of my success today, my experience and personal connections have been more vital.

4. Res stars get more welfare than blue states; another lopsided datapoint. There are FAR more people in red states than blue states cheesy you are literally retarded. Either that or you really do think you are debating with a child. Hahah


Lastly, you have no idea what colleges I went to in the UK. Even if your hapless father begged all his family and friends, he will never be able provide one of his kids with the education received. He cannot. He is not capable. I won’t send another screenshot of my degrees like I did to that useless b!tch 1stGenAmercan that sir her up but just know I wen to the same schools as royalties in the UK. You hopeless bastard. You really think me and you are mates. Becuase we are together debating on an anonymous platform? Hahahha. Bro I swear, if you see me in real life they don’t born you well to even utter a single word to me. If I drop one link to my LinkedIn profile now and you see who I am brother I swear this will be your last response to me hear. You no fit. You are not up to the level. An emotional liberal dunce who does nothing with his life but complain about Donald Trump on the internet all day hahaha. Drop the mic bro. You are finished.
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.

Lol. Your brain is too simplistic and that’s my biggest problem with you. Where have you ever seen me give Nigeria props or say we are getting it right here? Nigeria is a fvcking 3rd world country that is less than 70 years old so that’s our excuse. America that claims to be the foremost superpower on earth and one of the oldest democracies what’s their own excuse for so many of their citizens living in such squalor?

Alsways quick to come up with the “I live in America, you live in Nigeria” taking point like insecure little man you are. Bro I will say this one last time. I don’t live in the US but have been to multiple cities there. I also lived for well over 6 years in London and have visited multiple major cities on this planet like Geneva, Beijing, Paris, Cairo, Dubai, Sydney and Singapore. If you want to compare America to other counties then compare them with these counties not Nigeria. Nowhere have I seen the level of homeless drug addicted derelicts as there are on the streets of San Francisco and other major US cities. There is something fundamentally wrong in that country that goes beyond just the quotidian poverty that is commonplace in all advanced countries. You are experiencing societal collapse and mental health epidemic like no other country and you don’t even know it.

And who told you republicans don’t believe in safety nets? They do. They just have this weird idea that it should be reserved for the most vulnerable members of society, mostly the disabled and elderly. There is no reason why any able bodied man or woman should be living off benefits (as we call it in the UK). Even if you hit rock bottom, as we all do from time to time, it should only serve as a temporary source of income until you find your feet again. It shouldn’t be something that any able bodied adult should live off off like many people in major US cities are.

That’s why you always hear mainstream republicans talk about “reforming” social security. No one ever talks about eliminating it completely. They just want to find a way to make sure more people are contributing to the system than are benefiting from it because that’s the only way it can be sustainable in the long term.

Republicans always talk about the value of hard work, starting and growing a business, being a productive member of society whilst the democrats constantly talk about free this and free that because they know their illiterate voters do not understand the economics of the whole thing. They just think the US government has infinite resources to meet their needs LMAO. Maybe when the whole system finally collapses and goes bankrupt as many economists are projecting, that’s when you daft Democrats will understand.

Bro like I said before, you are not educated. You just get your talking points from left wing cable TV and regurgitate them without any real thought of your own. You are talking to a real life business graduate with more than ten years experience of starting and growing enterprises in several African countries and Europe. Don’t go and wound yourself dabbling into matters that are beyond your brain power.
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.

2.) Biden won more college educated voters than Trump did

3.) Red states(Republicans) get more welfare than Blue states (Democrats)

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.

Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas; these are all highly qualified and competent black people that EARNED their place the old fashioned way.
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.

“We the American people”
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.

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*.

Why not go to the FBI offices , place them on table and leak the photos to the media. The impression created was that the documents were on the floor in an unsecured room as you believe. In reality FBI/DOJ had visited the storage room and adviced on adding a second lock .
Again what documents had been declassified. All those markings you posted had been declassified by him. As the final declass authority he did not need the FBI to tell him what not to declassify . I am assuming the jackboots who came for the documents had clearance... Did they have clearance. Currently they are refusing to release the search warrant to Trump defense . The FBI also does not want the Special Master to see about a 100 documents....I think its documents on Spygate that they dont want the Special master to see because they show how FBI is irreedemably corrupt. No wonder they had to hire a Special Counsel ..
We shall be back to this topic in 2024
During the search they asked for cctv to be turned off and refused to let Trumps lawyer witness the search. Just thugs who even peered in Melania closet looking for documents without Trumps lawyer present.
Again they got a very urgent search warrant on a Friday but went on a Monday.
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.

Thats a good response. I will cross check though. As for documents on the floor I highly doubt he would have placed those docs on the floor just weeks before the FBI had visited Mar a Lago, inspected the room and recommended to add a second lock which was done to secure the room.
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.

Nothing with freedom of speech. Media makes up lies about Trump. Were they not looking for docs on Nuclear Weapons during the raid?
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.

Your hatred of Trump. Making assumptions. I dont belive everything I read from media about Trump because I know they make stuff up.
See how they are melting down over losing twitter censorship.
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.

Grade one thinking TDS influence of course,The guy came long with Kanye West. The secret service job is not to filter youtube videos before Trump can meet with anyone.
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.

Obviously it was was all planned to look like a mistake. Count all the votes, then determine how many you need to flip and inject them.
Voting should be hand ballot counting Same day.
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.

There is a lot of misinfo nowadays . Did Trump know the guy before the dinner?
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.

---Trump statement about Kanye's visit---
This is who Trump had dinner with

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?

In a new video tonight, Kanye West says that Trump began "screaming" at him during their Mar-a-Lago dinner, telling the rapper he will "lose" his 2024 presidential run.

Kanye West also claimed that Trump called Kim Kardashian a (bleeped-out) profane name, which left Ye upset. "That's the mother of my children," he added.

Kanye further claimed that Trump was "impressed" with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The rapper additionally said Trump was attempting to relate to him by sounding like a mob boss.


Video was posted on Kanye's Twitter account:
https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1595965974293118979?t=2fI5ljNC8VXaSJ98hRmYuw&s=19[/quote]Wow. I feel sorry for Kanye. Now he's promoting White Supremacists like Nick Fuentes? He's talking about people being puppets.. while he doesn't see the strings on him. He needs help. Mental Illness is real.

See how she melts down because she wants to protect the quack doctor Fauci from answering for his lies about the COVID origins.

Stand up for our brave Nigerian brother. Simon Ateba take a bow.

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).

Shove your disclaimer where it don’t shine bro. You are a political animal with a glaring vendetta against Trump. That immediately rules out every political opinion you give here as biased misinformation designed to taint Trump at all costs regardless of the facts. Your hubris is what makes it even more hilarious. You that blatantly lied that Trump appointed the IRS chief when there was one appointed by Obama for the fist year of his administration. You that lied an audit cannot be completed in 6 months.

I don’t even know if your own is misinformation due to ignorance or disinformation due to your Trump derangement but either way you constantly spew fallacies here which are constantly called out by other sounder minds than you on the thread. You rub minds with a guy so deranged by Trump he literally said that’s it would be the end of the world if he doesn’t go to jail. Lmao. That’s the level you are on bro.

You have no expertise or knowledge in anything besides Trump derangement so sit down. I doubt you are even university educated. You know about as much as US politics as those folks in the video I posted . Whether or not you’ve lived there all your life is irrelevant. In fact it actually makes you look worse if you really have, Which I sincerely doubt but that’s non of my business. I don't see it as a big deal like you.
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

Yes. You have poverty mentality thinking it’s a big deal to go to the US. FYI I have visited there several times. Half my family is based there including 3 of half siblings. I studied in the UK for 5 years obtaining both my BA and MsC from there. Prior to going there I got admissions from several US colleges but chose to study in the UK for personal reasons (my immediate and closest sibling is based there)

so don’t come in here acting like you are the first or only person on this faceless forum to enter the US. I could have moved there permanently if I wanted to but the truth is I don’t really like that country. Anyone who reads my posts can tell I think it’s a falling empire that’s completely losing its values, morals and even its national identity. It’s not even a safe country to raise kids in my opinion. First time I landed in that country from the UK first thing I noticed is I lost this sense of security I always had in London for whatever reason. The whole place just looked so big and chaotic to me.

So yes you dope I have been to the US and it’s my personal decision why I never chose to study or live there. But I am well vested in the laws and customs because i talk to my fvcking siblings all the time asides my own personal studies on the country.

FYI I’m presently. doing very well for myself in Nigeria and can afford to take vacations whenever I like. So just scratch this your “I live in America therefore I know better than you attitude”. It sounds rather shallow and stupid. We don’t live in the stone age. There are people who have never been to the US that know more about its laws than born and raised citizens. If you don’t believe then go hug transformer.
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.
