Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Pledges Green Cards For Foreign Graduates Of US College If Re-elected by Laurene: 8:56am On Jun 22, 2024
LordReed:
It is what is called a dog whistle, you are not supposed to hear the silent part. And the silent part is, if you aren't "white" you aren't wanted, illegal or legal.
You Nigerians are funny... You lack moral compass to be an arbiter.
You guys wouldn't accept other tribes.

BTW it's more of virtue-signalling than dog-whistle... It's very common in politics.
PoliticsRe: A Hypeman Reckless Statement by Laurene: 8:55am On Jun 17, 2024
HydraFeeds:
Kemi becoming an MP in UK is no big deal cos the UK have ruled Nigeria as well .

If you can show me one Yoruba man or Hybrid person that won elective position in the east then I will condemn those that are preventing outsiders from holding elective position in the west . Not to forget that many elective position holders in the west are hybrids.

Every Nigerian has right to vote and reside anywhere in the country but not when it's one sided .

APC is not Yoruba and this post is not about APC but about Yoruba heritage ,if the Yorubas say they don't want to vote for an hybrid that doesn't think Yoruba then they have their rights and it's no one's business .

My response to the post you quoted is based on his support and chest beating behaviour of the commenter . Whatever ways you interpret that it's none of my business.
Just shut it please!
Your rebuttal is dumb and weak.

I just watched the videos and honestly it contradicts with the headlines and most people's opinion on the comments, the OBA was very respectful and reiterated support for the candidate, even said he has previous supported the candidate when he was in the NBA as a practitioner...the headlines is simply for clickbait
Not a clickbait but the work of a serial tribalist and jingoist.
Nairaland has gone down the rabbit hole.

To be honest...due to the evil minded people, insensitive people that now see it as norm... I believe to get it right.... we need authoritarian riles and profiling ...just to weed the nation from those that now see these vices as norm as they are really growing in numbers
You need authoritarianism but you admire the west and would not reject a free visa?

We all know the rise to lots of these vices are as a result of bad policies from ignoramuses and incompetent personnels at the helm of affairs.

India used to have same level (even worst) level of crime until their government strengthened the economy and effected median working class policies that favoured masses and low income earners and reduced cyber crime by indigenes significantly.

Crackdown by hook or by crook (force) is shortlived and may affect innocent persons living just life.

When men in the police were harassing young boys in the name of curtailing yahoo, people like you cheered it as weeding the nuisance until innocent people began to get affected in their illegal maraudings and activities.

Be careful what you wish for... Your loved ones you think that are innocent might get caught in the rope.

Most of them know...they just choose to overlook because of the money....when this law is implemented....they will know ...u don't even have to worry ... that's when u will know how smart people can be when it involves their lives
No they won't just know! Unless one has obvious loopholes that give them away.
Criminals have devised means even far ahead of current tech to maneuver those security systems.

I hope you ain't advocating for authoritarian stereotypes and profiling that are used in dictatorships such as spying and wire-tapping or even launching direct affront on democratic freedoms in the guise of fighting fraud?

I'd love to hear how they're supposed to know those into fraud from your own opinion.

The nest way to stop yahoo is to seize houses rented to them by landlords or to shut down car shops of woners of car shops yhat sold them the cars.... when government makes it a law... u will see how yahoo will start to decline ..... any bank that fails to report their activities will be fined heavily and the transaction officer will be sent to jail
And how do these institutions know who's into fraud or not?

Yet other capitalist nations have found a way to marry capitalism and social welfare so that the poorer citizens aren’t having as tough a time as the poor Americans are having in this end stage capitalist hellscape

Save it pls.
It's mostly European countries that are far liberal and progressive than America...No comparison.
Certain economic and social activities like LGBTQ, mass immigration and abortion has been legalized over there since the 90s before the USA.

America was built on strong capitalist ideas that favoured and gave power to the populace in decision-making and power broking...such ideas gave birth to individualism and independent institutions.
This is part the reason America is super power today.

Countries founded on freebies and giveaways give rise to laxity and non creativity/innovation... The end result is imminent collapse of economic and financial institutions.
Check history!

Radical? Is that what you call those other countries who are already implementing way more social welfare and benefits than he advocates for?

Of course his party don’t take him seriously because they’re money hungry hooligans only a few step below the despicable repugnant republicans.
The fundamental foundation and benefits of the republic which he's enjoying was built on capitalism and strong independent institutions...He's ideology wouldn't go right with the demographics that resides within the state.

If he was to go back to his roots (Israel) he'd get rejected with sheer speed.
There's a reason he can't win American presidency.

Smh. You are giving an exaggerated opinion if you think it is the influence of Isreali or Isreali government.

Just by backing Isreal is already a liability on Biden's rating and may cost him the election. US has stopped shipment and now incapable of stopping ICC from getting Netanyahu and his Minister of Defence. Knowing politicians for who they are, they will sacrifice Netanyahu's political career than sink with him.
All at play is still permanent interests and not permanent friendship.

Russia is today, in utter disgust for humanity, pummeling Ukraine with a significant population of ethnic Isreali, even Blinken's father/ grandfather are Ukrainian migrants yet he and his father had held very high sensitive positions in the US government but still can't save their ancestral homeland from President Putin's war machinery. That's how things can change very fast so don't give an exaggerated importance to Isreali citizens in US politics.

The Russians, North Korea , Arab/Muslim world and Chinese are even more formidable to impact US elections than the Isreali but these guys will do so in clandestine manner. The election of Trump in 2016 was influenced by Russians not Isrealis o
Bunch of bullocks!
Russian interference in American election of 2016 has been debunked by even Washington Post and New York Times.

You just proved my point... Events like black lives matter protests due to George Floyd's death and also covid made him endorse Biden.
People thought Dems handled or would have handled the pandemic better.

He definitely didn't like how Trump handled it... I've always thought it'd be extremely ard for any president to survive in that enforcement.

He's definitely liberal on social issues but he's not a Trump-hating leftist.

Kennedy's unexpected flip to challenge Biden shows that Biden has a problem with some demographics and he's definitely losing voters (at the moment).
But we'd see how it translates to November

He is a leftist. In the past, like the last election he was promoting leftist crap. Boxers or fighters in general tend to be conservatives but the rock was loud in his anti Trump last election.

The fact he knows Biden has been a disaster and won't endorse anyone shows he does not want to face scrutiny from the elites.
lol grin. He's a former wrestler...Ever since he joined Hollyweird, they conformed him.

I haven't seen Dwayne talk bad against Trump except on his endorsement of Biden last cycle (I may be wrong though)... I knew many celebs that were suffering from TDS but The Rock wasn't really in the spotlight.

In all, I think he's the kinda person that'd vote 3rd party.
Even if he ends up voting for Biden, I'm happy he spoke out against him... I'd give Trump some talking points and destroy some narratives.

Most people in Hollywood are leftists which was why I assumed he would be one too

They are at the forefront of the gender identity issues for example
I understand you but inasmuch Dwayne is likely left-leaning he's not a rabid leftist.
The one person I don't trust is Michael Rappaport.

The Rock openly speaking up against Biden will definitely sway lots of undecided voters... I'm not saying they definitely vote Trump but they may not vote at all or simply vote 3rd party.

I hope RFK jnr would do great harm to Biden's campaign m... It'd be the biggest FU of the decade.
Kennedy is getting on the ballots on most swing states that'll matter.
I think he's on 12 states officially so far.

The Dems is only trying to use fear to get people to vote Biden again but it won't work like it did in 2020... No one has the capacity to be a dictator in an American setting.
It's all fear-mongering.

Who will these leftist now vote or they will sit it out?
I doubt Rock is a leftist... He looks more like a centrist although he may be quite liberal on some issues but we don't know his positions yet.
He's just like Matthew Mccoughney.

He said he has donated to both Dems and Repubs years back... He looks more like a swing voter.
The type that'll vote Kennedy..

Remember he didn't endorse in 2016.

I think he endorsed Biden because of the events (Covid etc) that led the cycle and also Biden posed as a unifying of which he's not now.
The Rock even said he regrets that endorsement and Biden has failed to unite the country.

If there's any, there should be a process where the matter is debated and deliberated before a vote call is brought to the floor where it's decided.
