That telegram quote was exactly how ecstatic Ijebos was on October 7

Was this your email?

Nice piece.

This section challenged my preconception that America would survive Trump.

That’s exactly as the ancient political philosophers predicted: as democracies enter their late, chaotic stage, the people want an autocrat. They yearn for one. And in America, they voted for one twice. The forces we are up against are far beyond Trump. They’re called the cycles of history and a critical mass of the American people, who no longer want to govern themselves, who are sick of this republic and no longer want to keep it if it means sharing power with those they despise.

And another section

The tyrant’s first textbook tactic, of course, is declaring an emergency to justify the seizure of arbitrary power. Trump has now done so over 30 times in various executive orders and directives in his first seven months. Previous presidents have moved the dial of executive power, as a polarized, deadlocked Congress has surrendered more and more authority, but even John “Signing Statements” Yoo — who once argued that a US president has the right to crush the testicles of a child if he so wishes — now acknowledges that Trump has “elevated it to another level” (see AP graphic below):

And unlike, say, Putin, who capitalized on (and may well have orchestrated) an actual emergency — a terror attack — to make his first big move, Trump just declares non-existent ones real on Twitter — and presto! — they are real. He knows he doesn’t even have to bother to justify them. He rightly assumes that Americans have less resistance to bald-faced autocratic lies in 2025 than Russians did in 1999.

Trump’s mouthpiece justifies it this way: “President Trump is rightfully enlisting his emergency powers to quickly rectify four years of failure and fix the many catastrophes he inherited from Joe Biden — wide open borders, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, radical climate regulations, historic inflation, and economic and national security threats posed by trade deficits.”

Unpack that for a second. A failed previous presidency, wars fought by other countries in other countries, subsidies for green energy, 2.7 percent inflation, and a trade deficit not much different than in the past few decades: if this amounts to a “national emergency,” then an emergency is a permanent condition, and the president can rule by fiat from here on out. And so here we are: with the Congress a sad rubber-stamp to the mad king, and with the lower-court checks on him stayed by SCOTUS, which is taking its own sweet time to adjudicate.

Meanwhile, America is one-man rule. Resist and he’ll ruin you. He’ll destroy your law firm’s business; he’ll stop that corporate merger you want; he’ll put a tariff on your company; he’ll launch a DOJ investigation into you; he’ll get you fired for doing your job in government faithfully; he’ll sue you if you print something true about him; and if you’re a federal judge and rule against him, he’ll sic an online mob, and maybe a real mob, onto you. He has done all these things this year — and openly celebrated them.
...
Let’s be perfectly clear: Trump has less than zero constitutional or legal authority to do any of this. Tariffs are constitutionally the Senate’s prerogative, and are applied for reasons to do with trade and industry. For a president unilaterally to use them as a club to coerce other countries on unrelated policies — on a whim unrelated to any Congressional mandate — is an impeachable offense. And yet what were only a few years ago obviously impeachable offenses are now simply known as the Trump administration.

Does your state have any republican congress person? If not, why?
Your scumbag hero also benefitted from gerrymandering,yet he has the galls to call.out Texas.

I'll answer that question as soon as you explain why that matters to you more than that it takes 12 hours to drive from Lagos to Warri.

You ask a question that you could have easily googled for yourself.
But I guess you tried and didn't like the answers, so you came up with a conspiracy that the "Woke" replaced all the answers on the Internets with Woke answers.

Obama and Diversity. The first foreign judge to be appointed to DC federal was by Obama . Judge Chutkan who was presiding over Trump case, she helped Jackboot Smith commit every ethical violation he could.

There are currently 61 serving foreign born judges serving in the federal system. All were appointed by either Obama or Biden. Gemini couldn't find any foreign born judge appointed since 1980,Obama is such a smart ass.

Summary Corrupt DC system , 5 out of 15 judges in DC are foreign.



Obama introduced some DEI to the court system. The 5 judges above ,none has any judicial experience.Mmm they seem to be just activists to me.
Thank you Obama.

As you're not American, you might want to try thanking Tinubu or Buhari for your situation.

I went back to edit "out" to "of" and realized I was banned.
What in this post is auto-ban worthy?

I dont fit into the type of people who vote Democrats

Yes, we know.
Exp. given most Republican states are welfare states.
And we've also seen your "intellectuals".

cococandy:
Of course they have more than noods. In 2025, what are noods? No one would bat an eye at them.

But noods with a minor? Now that’s something.

Had to read this twice to understand "noods".

Lol.
Raum's at it with his logic again.
Can anyone even make sense with this post?
He says MTG, Republican #1 will fit in with the Democrats.

She is a Republican because she is nutty and unserious and a Republican she will remain because her voters are unserious and nutty.

President run on improving the economy so that private employers can grow do business more make profit and employ more

Not just filling the economy with govt jobs

No one is guaranteed a job if you are not providing value to your employer like leftists want

Demanding your employer keeps you on a job regardless of if hes making a profit or you are providing value is the insane belief of communists and leftists

Fyi. The goal of government jobs isn't to make profit, but to fulfill services.
The services that the fired employees offered were essential that's why there are things like:
-lack of flood warnings,
-huge increases in wait times for seniors seeking Social Security, (forcing the agency to slot in other untrained employees from other departments which decreased the efficiency and has a cost in itself in new training and further deficiencies in the departments they came from)
and of course, agencies scrambling to hire employees back.

You live in this weird world, where facts and logic don't matter.
You seem not to understand how the government works. Or you do and you're doing your intellectual dishonest thing again.

raumdeuter:
Glad I can educate you and reduce your ignorance

No one is guaranteed a job if your employer does not need your services you cant force them to keep you

There are no higher prices. Gas prices are down, groceries are down

The policy is to make America great in case you haven't heard. We are doing great right now and winning

Yes, in distorted MAGA reality, prices aren't increasing and people losing their jobs is ok because no one is guaranteed one.
While the rest of the US is blaming Trump for the high cost of living.

This auto-mod is terrible.

This is a politics section, there are some words that are in the political discourse that should be able to be used, like pedo.philia.

I am surprised the winning is not getting to your side, cos its so much winning here that I am almost tired of it, Winning every week

Lemme ask where do you shop? Sprouts or whole foods abi where are things that expensive abi you dey carry $40k Hermes bag enter store ni and they inflate prices for you

Come dey shop for Texas where everything soft for us

Why do you want the rich taxed? They already pay the bulk of the taxes as it is

Despite Raum's posts being nonsensical, they are quite illuminating.

He is arguing that during one of the worst job reports in 10 years, that Trump and America is still winning.
And in the last few days he has argued:
That, no one deserves a job, so if unemployment increases, so what.
That, since you can afford higher prices, why complain.

It's never been about policy with these people.
I hope that the Dems that keep pretending that if they found the right mix of policies they can reach these people, hopefully finally see that.

Get a lake to scream at like your fellow libs

Is that better or worse than waking up every day from 'some place not in the US' and jumping on an online forum to scream "that you live in the US"?

JUST IN: Employment growth petered out in July and prior months’ gains were substantially weaker than initially reported, according to new data from the Labor Department.

The US added just 73,000 jobs last month, and May and June’s payroll gains were revised down by 258,000 jobs, bringing those monthly net gains to 19,000 and 14,000, respectively.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.2% from 4.1%. Read more: https://cnn.it/40I1xQz

The downward revisions are the esp. concerning part.
Fox and Friends are already beginning to blame Powell. I think it was the plan all along.

The fact that mostly every "conservative" in this thread at one point pretended to be American and probably needs psychiatric care should give you an idea about your views.

Here's a hint, if your position is worse than Trump's on a moral issue, you may want to check your morals.

He will take whatever crumbs he can get. Someone who says that you’re a fool who will accept slavery to escape your village is not someone who respects you.

But you can’t expect people to respect you when you’re desperate for validation so I get why he clings to anyone who gives him a bit of validation.

Whatever crumbs for validation.
He'll be a good candidate for a study on Stockholm syndrome.
