Expect Trump to do everything and everything possible to distract from (maybe including war with Iran) to make it harder to vote in the Midterms. If Democrats get subpoena power all this will be coming out. https://substack.com/home/post/p-188426985

ono: Initially, I wanted to respond to your post, then I decided not to. This response is just me wanting to let you know. I assumed you tried to write in complete sentences, then realized you really had no point. It's easy to write posts when there is no underlying coherent thought behind them, just rehashed slogans. Ask Raumdeuter. |

And here is more graft: Raumdeuter's response: Trump is so smart and an amazing businessman, no other President was smart enough to do this. The private company that controls President Trump’s intellectual property portfolio has filed three trademark applications that would reserve his name for use as the brand of an airport.
The applications, submitted by DTTM Operations LLC on February 13 and 14, seek federal protection for the names:
‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport’ ‘Donald J. Trump International Airport’ ‘DJT’ .. From a legal perspective, the applications were drafted and filed as though the names would be used in connection with an airport. It is a type of filing typically submitted by a public airport authority. Airports are ordinarily owned and operated by governmental entities, and their names, when registered, are generally held by those authorities.
DTTM Operations, however, is Mr. Trump’s private intellectual property holding company. It owns a vast portfolio of trademarks associated with the Trump brand, spanning hotels, residential towers, and a range of licensed consumer products. ... The move raises unusual questions about the intersection of public infrastructure and private brand ownership. While presidents and public officials have had landmarks named in their honor, a sitting president’s private company has never in the history of the United States sought trademark rights in advance of such naming. ... Because these trademarks have been filed, if an airport authority were to adopt the name ‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport,’ DTTM Operations would now need to license the mark to that authority, potentially charging a licensing fee (or accepting some other form of consideration).
I should be very clear: these are trademark filings that are completely unprecedented.
Airport names almost always originate from the governmental body that owns or manages the facility. They are not owned or licensed by privately held entities.

raumdeuter: Their earnings are less than 1% of Trump because they started way poorer than Trump. Clinton and Obama benefitted more from their presidency than Trump can ever be Trump started presidency as a billionaire, Natural progression of a billionaire without presidency could have doubled his worth from real estate alone, Show how many community organizers have done 70times their net worth in 15yrs
If Trump does 70x then come and show us evidence The 80 year old man who if he did nothing but get interest on the money his father left him would have been richer than he was beforethis 2nd term, didn't double his net worth in 80 years, but in the year before he became President increased it by 1 billion (the Saudi deal was cut in the months prior to the election) and in the first year of his presidency increased it by 2x or ~ 4 Billion . Yes, nothing to see here folks. The sad thing is that the way you defend this corruption is as if you're getting a cut of it.

raumdeuter: So Trump doubled his networth while Obama did what? 70 times his networth
Tell us Obama networth in 2007(before presidency), His networth in 2012 (mid presidency), net worth in 2016(immediately after presidency). Let us calculate how much he grew his worth while in office and after office
Shall we? We must show the hypocrite today The World: Trump has corruptly made Billions in 1 year of his Presidency by doing things like allowing foreign countries to have AI chips other presidents wouldn't that affect out National security. Raumdeuter: But look at these Presidents who haven't even made 1% of what Trump has grafted in year 1 of a 4 year term in their whole lives after their Presidency You see those Billions don't really matter because if you're a Billionaire, you'd have to steal $70 Billion for it to really matter. |

nateevs: What is the insistence on pivoting to a pure arithmetic debate on this matter if not for the purpose of being deliberately disingenuous?
If the starting point of Mr X is $1bn and he does 3x (3 $3bn), yet Mr Y does 7x from a starting point of $10m to make $70m, effective additional wealth should be treated as $2bn and $69m respectively.
But agenda must agend I think it's $4 Billion by now. He's rationalizing $4 Billion in corruption in year 1 of a 4-year Presidential term. These are the kind of number that would make even a Nigerian President blush. At least we know how Nigerian Presidents can get away with so much corruption. |

benalvino3: Lmao,
Which is greater, 3% or 70% How are you going to argue this? I believe you know accounting.
From arithmetical to calculus, 3% increment is always less than 70%
Percentages tell you efficiency / relative performance how good was the return compared to what you started with this is the point. If you are presenting a report in accounting or performance metrics to your bossed or stakeholders, that is the language you are going to be using, something they can easily understand.
Absolute dollars tell you raw scale or actual money added, it does not tell you the performance metrics, growth or efficiency.
You are smarter than the guy that said 3% > 70% don't do this to yourself.
He said he would take 3% increment over 70% 😂 Ha.. This is emblematic of Bemeruca's overall reasoning. Like someone who has no clue what they are talking about trying to sound smart with the help of AI. Gotta love the "From arithmetical". Almost as if he's never heard the word or seen it written |

raumdeuter: So you ask the initial numbers to know who multiplied their wealth more in office? Trump multiplied his 3 times, Obama multiplied his 70 times That you ask that question is why you are MAGA. Do you even understand what you are arguing or what point you are trying to make? You guys spend your lives throwing out nonsensical propaganda that you read somewhere online that only makes sense to people who were dropped on their head as children. Everything is surface level reasoning, without thought nor depth. Oh, 70% of X is greater than 3% of Y because 70 is greater than 3... derp derp derp. (You might want to go back and learn what percentages are). That's why when any MAGA has a real debate with someone they resort to lying and repeating the same things over and over as if it is a real argument. |

Grumpy 01d man, you and common sense are like water and oil. This is a great example of your same puddle level depth you employ in everything you write in this thread. Someone like you hears someone made 70% more profit and someone else made 3% more profit and says, yes I'd take the 70% more profit. Someone like me asks 70% and 3% of what initial numbers. That's the reason most of your posts are incoherent ramblings. To slow to even know what questions you should be asking. |

Look at that Cocoyam head Stephen Miller.. a disgusting human being..worse than Trump..
But for those who think they are supporting cruel actions attributing it to common sense, I only pity them.
Slowly and gradually they'd turn into monsters. I was somewhat blunt, but I think we have to be honest as to what's going on in the US. From Pam Bondi to Noem to Hegseth, they are all latently evil/corrupt people who have always been comfortable abusing power and abusing it to abuse others. This is just a new level and platform for them to continue doing so. |

cococandy: Bingo. They’ve always known.
I used to give them grace as per “easily brainwashed people who readily believe lies that serve their agenda” but no one is that foolish. How often can you be lied to before you realize you are being lied to?
Every time one of their major talking points gets irrefutably exposed as a lie, they pivot with a non sequitur and carry on like it never happened while still remaining in steadfast support of the people lying to them. They can’t be that xtuuuupid or else how are they getting through everyday life?
It’s a way for them to keep being the ghouls they actually are while hoping that one day they can be forgiven and have it all dismissed as a result of innocent misinformation.
We will not forget. Some aren't clever enough to understand what they are posting, and the others are fully aware they are lying. The truly despicable thing is that they choose to do so on things like p files and racism. This Trump presidency has made me realize there are a lot more truly terrible people who walk amongst us than I previously thought. |

Found the following though.
https://newrepublic.com/post/202897/fbi-informant-alexander-smirnov-lied-biden-released-jail Yeah, but last I heard, the Trump DOJ was reviewing his case and asking for him to be released pending his appeal (is he appealing his confession?). Someone paid him a good amount of money to lie. Someone at Bill Barr's DOJ knew that and still laundered his lies ostensible to tarnish Biden. Kinda similar to what Trump wanted Zelensky to do. This would a huge scandal in of itself if there weren't a million other scandals in this Trump administration. |
Family › Re: A slap and my marriage ended ... What Should I Do? by IjeBos(m): 7:21pm On Feb 15 |
TheDepressed: Had to use a new account to tell it all. Please find it interestingly to read and advice.
I was married in Feb 2023, I have two kids (a 5yr old daughter and a 2yr old son). I own 2 houses ( one I built from scratch and another I inherited). Long story short my finances are a battle after another, that's the best term I can describe it with. So in Feb 2025, I had an argument with my wife and I angrily gave her a smack, she in turn angrily went to the living area and smashed in pieces our wedding photo exclaiming the marriage was over, that I should take her back to her father's, which I did angrily.
before we got to the juncture, my wife would randomly request to go to her mother's for a few days, sometimes week and one time almost a month. Things started to get worrying for me when she onetime while at her mother's told me, she was searching for a school for my daughter at her mother's. I was shocked as we have never had this discussion, she started to complain about the distance of our home from town where she can do businesses, this also came as a shock but I felt I was loosing my wife presence in my home, so I sat her down and asked to talk about everything happening and the way out? She mentioned we should go rent a house in town. Again I was shocked but after much enquiry and advices consign the rental matter, I obliged and we rented a 2bedroom apartment in town that is a 15mins drive to her mother's compared to our previous home a4bedRM that would take 1hr30mins to her mom's ( it's important to note that, through out her random stay at her mom's, her mother never one day called me to ask if I and my wife had issues at home that made her stay this long at her place, she never asked infact neither I nor she call the other on phone just for checkups)
So back to the home fight....that same night I moved her to her father's ( because her parents are separated, my wife's mom had 6girls for my father in law, the man did one away match and boom, the match birthed a boy, so MIL moved out of the marriage and hugged the streets) , that same night she moved to her mother's. After a day or two, the loneliness hit me again, I felt I had done something really big and wrong, so I immediately went into apology mode. I begged my father in law, he said I had no problem I should go take my wife home, that it's one of those things in marriage if not controlled maturely. So I went to her mother's and the reception was hostile, I left, I tried several phone calls, they would ring out or she would end the call angrily once hearing my voice, I went back to the house, one tim she took her handbag and left the home immediately I arrived, another time she threw insults at me openly. I really tried to beg this woman to please let my wife come home.
I turned to my wife, she said "I should bring persons with me to come beg her mother", I found this a little too much to ask, would I call my kinsmen to come beg a woman? I didn't even pay my bride price to her, so months past and it became 10months my wife has being outside my home and 10months I didn't see my kids only video calls.
Well on the 10th month being Nov/Dec last year, I received a call from my wife, I could hear her crying and I was sure I hear the word children but my background was noisy. So I excused myself to a quiet corner and called back and that's when she told me her mother just passed away, I mean died and I should come take the kids.
I was busy at work so I sent someone to pick my kids up and take to my mother's. So I called a meeting to speak about how I'm not seeing my kids enough ( mind you my wife suddenly distant from me, she don't even pick my video calls to see my kids, she insults my family and myself, she' just became strange unknown and weird). So after all agreements were mad consign the kids and their welfare, the meeting was pushed further to attempt settlement. For me I tot my wife has being outside too long and I won't lie, I miss my wife and having a full noisy home by the kids but this woman 10months after is not remorseful or missing her husband. So she was asked firstly and she said I should go take my bride price back and I was asked and I said I will take the bride price back but as I write, I'm yet to do xo.
My reason for this write up is because a few days ago, my father in law called me and said the mother in law date has being fixed for this month. He called very late at night and I said I'll think and call him in the morning. The next morning I called and said we'll your daughter doesn't want her marriage anymore, I don't see why I should be at the funeral plus I don't want a case where she would be there with her new man, if any. I don't want embarrassmeny or weird feelings but if I have anything to support I would send before the time.
So family Nairalander, would you support this kind of woman ( both the daughter and mother) with your finances? Or would you go as far as attending?
Ps: my suppose wife did not call me to inform me of the funeral date but her father did. I'm sure she must have told her father she doesn't care if I am aware or not. She suddenly hates me out of the blue and today' makes it a year she's being outside and our marriage together lasted 2yrs.
Everyday I'm depressed, indoor for days, sometimes cry and sometimes can't sleep out of wild thoughts. She has an elder sister, that till date has never called me even if to insult me for hitting her sister in the face. I can't believe I have lost my marriage over a slap. Reading your posts it seems you still don't get it yet. Your gender politics is all screwed up based on some of the things you have written in this thread, like "put money on her daughter's head". You physically assaulted your wife. (You say it was the first time but that's rarely the case esp. given your gender politics). Either way it's a really big deal. And it's odd you wouldn't even do the minimum of going with someone to talk to the mom. "I found this a little too much to ask, would I call my kinsmen to come beg a woman?" - more of your chauvinistic gender politics. Everything that stems from this is your fault because of your inability to control your temper and your hands. And it seems you still don't fully seem to understand that fact. As soon as you understand you are not the victim, you'll be better for it. But, it may be a good time to work on yourself if you really want to fix your family. Think through some of the things you believe and why. If not, that's ok. Just find someone who believes and whose parents believe that smacking/beating them/their daughter once in a while is OK. I see the plusses and minuses of attending the Funeral. If you don't go, you should probably arrange for your kids to go and say goodbye to their grandmother. Seems she was a good person to them. |

bayelsaowei: It has started happening. Truths have started emerging.
All our resident black nigeriam nairalanders who have blindly and impulsively supported every aggressive ICE action should start bowing their heads in shame..
We told them ICE is awfully led by incompetent humans..they say No..they say folks just like to put themselves in harms way and that ICE is not to be blamed when those folks are either injured, maltreated or killed.
Truths are surfacing.. The support by black Nigerians esp. those who live in the US is the most shameful and troubling part of this. They someone think they'll be spared because.... These officers lied even though they knew they was a recording of this incident. They felt their institutional power would overcome the truth. In this case it didn't. But, imagine the other cases where it may have. |
