Ad usual you have experience in everything.
You have been to the moon too?

Sat after the shooting one of my boys asked if I had bought DJT( (he can't due to his Job), thought it would go up on the goodwill. I agreed. Easy call. But missed it in after hours trading. Didn't think to short it as I generally don't short plus just wanted to make a quick turnaround.

But if you spent less time posting bullshit about a country you don't live, you might know what a short position is.
And get you some friends with money so you can talk about money.

Republican National Convention dubbed 'the Grindr Superbowl' after gay dating app crashed due to spike in users in Milwaukee


No wonder homosexuality is always on their minds.

Gay hookup app Grindr crashed after a spike of users around Milwaukee on Tuesday – the location of the Republican National Convention (RNC).
More than 1,000 users reported a Grindr outage in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area around 4pm on Tuesday, according to data from website Downdetector.
Savvy social media users quickly picked up on the spike. X user ‘Computer_Gay’ posted on Tuesday saying: ‘Grindr experiencing outages due to unprecedented traffic in Milwaukee, WI.’
After the reported app crash, gay ex-Congressman George Santos posted a video on social media site X claiming ‘Grindr executives are calling the RNC convention the Grindr Superbowl’.
The GOP convention began on Monday in the midwest city and is set to finish on Thursday.

Decided to watch this rambling mess of a speech. What a mess!

But, by the looks of it, a lot of Republicans are having a great time.

RingRoadCartel:
If my memory serves me correctly, Isreal has been on the forefront pushing for a Palestinian state for these nitwits. They even offered them the option twice, but HAMAS turned it down. It was only until recently that they perished the idea because they've realised that HAMAS will only use their state status to pursue more creative means of exterminating them, since it isn't interested in the development of its people and state.

Please, this is nonsense.
Israel never wanted a Palestinian state. At least one that would really be a state.
The goal was to do their periodic "mowing of the lawn" and to continue developing settlements that would make a Palestinian state impossible.
At least they are finally being honest.

happney65:
Just saw it on CNN now. It was even my wife that called my attention to it that see Hulk Hogan is speaking tonight

P.S. Do you notice Republicans seem to be agitated about Biden dropping out of the race and are coming out with some funny talking points

Guess they can see a Biden out of the race is a total and complete beating for them

Please where were they when he dropped out and stepped down in 2016? We didn't see them getting worked up like this

At least we have people in his party that can talk to him unlike their own party that belongs to Trump 100percent

He is their Lord and Saviour and the Bully that kicks them here and there

Yeah, they think that Biden gives them the best chance of winning. Though I don't think they'd even win with him on the ballot. Trump has a hard ceiling. Everyone knows who he is. And that's not changing.
Yeah. Dems do what Dems do though.. wet the bed. Trump could eat a crying baby on live TV and Republicans would still support him.

But, either way, it's ok.
I think Biden would have still been an effective President. If you listen to this speeches and interviews, taking out the gaffes, it's clear he still has a profound understanding of policy. Something that Trump doesn't come close to. In terms of accomplishments that would move the US forward, he's probably been one of the better Presidents. Maybe even better than Obama.
But I don't think he should have run. He'll be 81 and Father time is undefeated.
We are in a inflection point in the US. We need a President who can strongly vocalize what the US needs and push back against the BS that the GOP is pushing. I think that was one of his biggest failures in the debate. He knew his policy, but he didn't trash Trump and the BS that came out of his mouth.
The new President is going to have to deal with the Supreme Court, may have to end the filibuster to pass abortion rights, will have to do something about the Media Landscape (too much purposeful mis/disinformation) and will have to deal with the Middle East. Need someone both with new ideas(though was pleased with his proposal on the Supreme Court) and the ability to use the Presidential bully pulpit.

When I was younger, I read about Lucius Cincinnatus. I felt he represented what it meant to serve. He left his farm to lead during an emergency. After the emergency he went back to his farm. There are other people who can lead. Biden has done his work, has led us through the emergency and did it well. I think it's ok that he goes back to his farm and enjoys his family who Republicans have mercilessly attacked.

But either way, I think it's ok.
Democrats will always be the grown ups. Fortunately and unfortunately.

Hulk Hogan to speak at the RNC.
Trump sure seems to love his racists.

Democracy is a rule for the people by the people and of the people.
JB won nominations, now the elite want to handpick a successor after they force him out. Apologize to his voters first for lying that his mental abilities were intact.
But but but Trump is a threat to "our democracy ' , voter ID is racist .

I see as the RNC meets the R epublican-Wannabe N utters C onvention is meeting here.
Keep at it Basilico.
Might want to up your medication dosage though. Looks like at least 10 conspiracy laden posts the last 24 hours.

basilico:
I saw this in a disqus comment. On Friday last week , some group shorted Trump Media Group shares.

Calling out ibime the expert from retirement and summer holidays. How does shorting work. If Trump assassination was successful, Trump Truth Media Group shares would have been worthless. What would have been the payoff?
Why would they short 12 million shares then refile on Monday saying twas an error.

This nut wants to buy into a conspiracy theory but doesn't even understand how it works. Lol. Nutters.

Fux.. Tried to buy DJT after hours on Sat. was already too high. Should have shorted it instead. Shorts aren't in my DNA though.

Gerrard59:
In that very comment, I linked two articles.

As usual, the classism. The belief that only those based outside Nigeria have "the range" to have a say on certain topics. The belief that even when someone is actually based outside Nigeria, they MUST have the same thought process because a set of people are the numero-uno. Not fact-based o, just vibes and anything Awon Liberals parrot. Mr IbeOkehie is based outside Nigeria and in the US like yourself.

Well, here is it: in today's Nigeria, anyone can leave the country. So, being abroad isn't something to boast about.

Is it classist to believe you can't understand racism fully if you've never been in environment where you aren't in the majority racially? Fortunately for a lot of those people in this thread, cheering racists and cooning away, they will never have to experience it.

You argue about fact based debates, and now argue that you can somehow have full knowledge of things without actually experiencing them. Does that sound rational to you? I am Nigerian and spend tons of time in Nigeria, but I even understand my limitations when discussing Nigeria. It's ok to understand your limitations. We will never know what we don't know.

There are tons of Black people doing amazing things in Math and Science. You should figure out why you think "black people" hate numbers and fact based debates. Maybe reflecting on it will illuminate your own biases, insecurities and deficiencies. Insecurities like figuring out why you thought I was boasting about being "abroad", because I said you can't understand racism without being in a place where you may experience it.

Gerrard59:
Expectedly, you could not refute my claims with superior evidence. Very typical of the lovey-dovey folks in the Democratic Party. Nothing surprising. Additionally, a Nigerian has no right to accuse others of racism. Lastly, how is it racist, as a black African, to question policies which benefit black Africans more than native African Americans which they were intended for?

Oh, did you expect me to have a discussion with you on whether "black people generally hate numbers and fact-based debates."?
Leaving out the fact that, ironically, your argument was not fact based, that post was drenching with coonery and inherent racism. Given that, you seem unexposed or psychologically damaged and so generally not worth my time. In this Trump era, where Racism seems to no longer be a taboo, I have less patience for it.

Surprisingly you are not alone. I've found that there are a lot of self hating black people on this forum. I'm not sure why. Generally, it's people who have never left Nigeria, who somehow believe their skin color isn't really black or they would be considered the exceptional black skinned person. I see it a lot more in the American Politics thread.

Laurene:
He can still move to New Jersey if the permutations requires that... It's political posturing and calculation.

Trump's move to Florida didn't stop his political prosecution in New York neither would it hinder one in Vegas, New Jersey or even Florida(DeSantis was rumored to have been nonchalant or possibly complicit in Mar-alago's DOJ's raid though it's debatable)

Yeah he moved out of New York mostly due to the cesspit the state has become but if politics demands he moves back there for the culture then he would.
Doesn't mean he's gonna live there... He just have to refill his home address to FEC as New Jersey, Nevada, New York etc

Ron might not have called Trump names but he threw jabs and served as a useful idiot to the Liberal media... Parroting left-wing talking points about Trump causing an insurrection, actually losing the election and causing Republicans to lose in the midterms.

Poll after poll showed there was no part for him (he was even losing his home state by 30 points), he remained in the race to undermine and provoke Trump thereby dividing the party.
His supporters ported to Kennedy's ship as a result that.

As I've said earlier, DeSantis run for president made little sense because he's ideologically inclined to Maga... He was seen as the heir but he was too fast.
He could have strongly endorsed Trump and ended any media speculation of his running... Then waited for VP or 28(peradventure Trump lost) thereby serving as the messiah to the party but he blew it.
He sat on 200 million dollars after the governorship election, refusing to answer if he's running or not to the media even after being pressed by Charlie Crist during the debate... Helping fuel the talks of his running.

He listened to his donors instead of his base.

Posts like this read like someone who knows little about the US and gets most of their opinions on some blog they get to by firing up their VPN.
Oh yeah. That is who you.

As if Desantis had some option to preempt a Federal court approved subpoena. Jesus. The fuckory of it all.

The damage right wing media has done is incalculable. Lost brain cells reading this.

Gerrard59:
They never get to answer this question. As it is, black people generally hate numbers and fact-based debates. It is partly why we don't perform well in quantitative tests worldwide or even show up during competitions such as the Olympiad.



That is emphatically true. Blacks have this penchant for feeding bottle mentality. Always government support with other people's money o. Never theirs, but as Margaret Thatcher stated..."The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money".



I am amused when I see Igbos, regardless of location, complain of racism. It makes me chuckle.



There are facts to support it. 1) The greatest beneficiaries of AA are upper middle class blacks, not the downtrodden. 2) In fact, black Africans benefit proportionally more than native African Americans on a per capita basis. I am surprised that this statistic isn't widely popular so that native African Americans get to know the biggest benefactors of affirmative action. It is why on Twitter, upper middle-class black Africans "support" the continuous use of affirmative action. I have even advised another Nairalander who resides in Spain to ensure his children select "Black/African American" during admission. I will do the same, but the truth has to be told.

These articles chronicle the various studies and statements by native African Americans about who actually benefits from affirmative action: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/affirmative-action-helps-black-immigrants-but-not-black-americans/

So much coonery and broad racist generalizations in this post.

djon78:
Are you smarter than them?

People that have developed there country to be a wonder


If you are smarter
Work on your country

Nigerians will just be having nonsense opinion like you are smarter than them

While your country is in a mess

Yes many Americans are totally devoted to Donald Trump

The majority of Trump voters are Uneducated/Undereducated.
Trump's support is derived mostly by white non-college educated men who paint themselves victims, and despise black people and minorities, because they feel they are keeping them from success.
The states that support Trump are generally dead last when it comes to any metric. Education, Income per Capita, Life Expectancy. etc.etc.
In fact they are mostly welfare states, receiving more from the Federal government than they give to the Federal Government in taxes.
Google any of it.
That is what you are supporting.

Yes, Nigeria is in a mess. And for us to grow, we must erase the logic of voting for a convict who is a liar and who corrupts anything that he touches, including the Justice System.
And fyi, your argument may work if I wasn't an American citizen.
Focus on facts and less on insults.
Your way of thinking is what roots Nigeria in failure.

djon78:
Because you don't understand what devotion means

Huge number of Americans are devoted to Him

Devoted, like he's their God?
Devoted to a man who says he grabs women by the kitten?

You say it so cavalierly as if there is nothing wrong with it.

ElSudani:
Stupid brainwashed woman. If Biden had nothing to do with it then simple courtesy suggests you should take his call.
She is far more scared of what the other brainwashed Republicans will think of her.
Her husband died for a man who cares only about himself.

You're right.
But there is more to it.
I'm sure she is scared that if she takes Biden's call she will incur the wrath of people who donated close to $5 million dollars to the gofundme set up for victims of assassination attempt.

Trump has thoroughly corrupted the US

bemeruca:
idiot

Lol.
You are wholly incapable of being truthful.
You are a LIAR. You lie about everything. You lie about what country you live in to your friends.
There is a time in life when you'll be given a lesson the hard way about lying.

You are really truly a trash person. Through and Through.

bemeruca:
so there is no community note then?

Ahahahaahha.
True to the trash individual you are.
Lie, then lie some more.

This was the bet

ijebosb:
Then take the bet.
Just say "If there is/was a community note on that post, I won't post here ever again".
Easy.

You see the WAS there. That is past tense. LOL

bemeruca:
idiot, the community note should be on the original tweet of the guy not what the leftists making a fool out of you post. so post the original tweet with the note on it

Lol.
The community note was on the original tweet and subsequently downvoted. The conversation downvoting it is attached to the original tweet which I linked.

So.
1.) I know understanding how community notes work is too complex for an idiot like you.
2.) You are a proven bona fide liar, so I never expected to you to keep your word.

Pax, Liar.

bemeruca:
i have taken the bet. if there is any community notes i will stop posting.

This was the bet

ijebosb:
Then take the bet.
Just say "If there is/was a community note on that post, I won't post here ever again".
Easy.

Remember the bet was
If there is a community.
or
If there was a community note.

There was a community note that was subsequently downvoted.

Goodbye!

I think this video/report is interesting.
The father of the shooter and the owner of the rifle used to shoot Trump was profiled as part of a secret GOP project.
He was rated 17th out of 19,320 people profiled in that area and was classified as a "Strong GOP Voter".

Wow. Channel 4 News reports that the father of the Trump shooter was a Trump supporter who was held on a database and profiled by the former president's election campaign

Well, the dude did not claim he is going to vote or if he is a citizen. You are spreading leftist lies here

There were no community notes that were tweeted. Which other lie do you want to spread here?

FYI, If there is ever a discrepancy between what I post and your understanding, I am 100% you will always find the fault is in your understanding.
How bout this, if there is/was a community note, you stop posting here forever. Let's see how confident you are in what you write.

bemeruca:
Irrelevant idiot, each week you lead the chart on who most people call a fool on this thread 🤣

I think you are somewhat confused.
If people can respect someone like you, not respecting me is a sign of honor.
And someone calling me a fool, speaks to how much of an idiot they are.
You can maybe call me an asshole. But calling me a fool? It means you're objectively stupid like you and Basilico.

Democracy is on the line. When someone who dey don't like is challenging them all the conspiracy theories and lies will start to surface.

We should get community Notes like this for you, Basilico and Laurene (Mr. Laurence).

Another fool with some mb. Even Biden and the democrats are learning to tone down the rhetoric. Just because you are a Nigerian doesn't mean you have to be stupid all the time.

Try Unlimited 5G and Unlimited 1500Mbps down.

I must have missed your post when Bemeruca initially posted that.
Miss me with your bullshit.

Budatuum. This is consistent with other polling out as well.

Donald Trump has not received a poll boost in the first presidential election survey conducted since the failed assassination attempt on Saturday.

The poll, conducted by Morning Consult of 2,045 registered voters on Monday, reveals that Trump is leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point with 46 percent, compared to the president's 45 percent. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.

The findings also reveal that Trump's lead has narrowed slightly since the firm's previous survey, conducted between July 12 and 14, which put Trump two percentage points ahead with 44 percent to Biden's 42 percent.

Reason like this?
He said he read the ruling. Then gave a 180 diametric view of what Roberts wrote in it. Lol
Then kept arguing hat diametric view as if no one who actually read and understand his words knew you sounded like an idiot. lol

You remind me of Nigerians I meet in Naij. Never know wtf they are talking about, but will try to talk a big game embarrassing themselves in the process.

Well done. I felt embarrassed for you when you wrote this stuff. Like a child pretending he really did read and understand that book on astrophysics. Lol.
