raumdeuter: When has this type of deal ever worked in the history of politics
Serve one term and get out?
The ‘cabal’ struck the same deal with GEJ but he reneged on his part of the bargain by running in 2015, and we all know how that panned out.
My thinking is that the ‘cabal’ (from both APC and PDP) want someone who is amenable to them and has no political clout at Aso Rock, cos it’s much more easier to control Obi than to control either Tinubu or Atiku who have over 30 years of experience in politics and considerable wealth.
raumdeuter: "I believe there are element in the villa that want us to loose the election because they didn't get their way, they have their candidate and their candidate didn't win the primary and hiding behind president desire to do what he think it is right."

Those elements either want Atiku to win (due to ethnic solidarity) or want Obi to win because they may have struck a deal with Obi/Datti for the duo to serve one term if Obi wins..

JohnBullMySon: Randy will not invite Patricia. Another defender will be there instead. Regina Otu, I don't know what value she adds, maybe she does but I have not seen it. Onyenezide for me. I don't see Gift and Flourish both making the team. One will be dropped. Likely Flourish.
I won't take Onome to the WC if I was Randy though.
SlyFoxxWontDie: America’s current political climate is not sustainable. No country that it’s leaders spend 95% of their time fighting each other can remain a super power for long. It’s actually one of the symptoms of a dying empire; hyper-polarizations and partisanship.
Just look at the people on this thread as a microcosm of American politics in general. All they do is here is fight, post damaging and disparaging information about members of the opposite party and try to one up each other. No one has ever posted to say this is how republicans and democrats can work together to achieve XYZ for the American people. It’s all fight fight fight January to December.
That country does not have a functioning government anymore as far as I’m concerned. This is why China will soon overtake them. Becuase say what you want about the Chinese, their system of government ensures for unity and harmony amongst all those in power which gives the government great focus and the ability to achieve things much faster without any hindrance or opposition. Watch Bill Maher explain it perfectly;
Bill Maher hit the nail on the head! The bureaucracy from local to federal levels is slowing down economic growth in the U.S. I mean, how many people, aside from accountants, lobbyists, or lawyers have the time and will to navigate the 17,000-page federal tax code and numerous other 1000-page business regulations?

U.S. credit card balances topped $870 billion as of December 2022. About 56% of Americans carrying credit card balances have been carrying them for over a year; while the number of seriously delinquent credit card accounts rose to 37 million as of last year's 4th quarter. Meanwhile, mortgage demand has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years..
I sincerely hope people are ready for what is coming..
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday he was appointing Robert Hur to serve as a special counsel to review classified material found in President Joe Biden's Delaware residence and a Washington office he used.
Hur, now a lawyer at a Washington, D.C., firm, was the U.S. Attorney for Maryland during the Trump administration, and is also the former principal counselor to former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw the Mueller investigation.
Garland said Hur’s appointment “authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter." Garland said the move was necessary because of the “extraordinary circumstances” involved. "I am confident Mr. Hur will carry out his responsibilities in an even-handed and urgent manner," he said.
In a statement, Hur said: “I will conduct the assigned investigation with fair, impartial, and dispassionate judgment. I intend to follow the facts swiftly and thoroughly, without fear or favor, and will honor the trust placed in me to perform this service.” The move came after the White House acknowledged publicly on Thursday that classified Obama administration documents were found in one of Biden’s Delaware homes. This came after confirming Monday that documents had been found in a Washington office.
Garland said the DOJ was told about the documents in Biden's home on Dec. 20. Biden's lawyer informed the Justice Department on Thursday morning that one other document had been found in the home, Garland said.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News that the single additional classified document Garland said he was informed of Thursday morning was found the previous day at Biden's home in Wilmington. The president’s personal counsel notified the Justice Department about the document on Thursday.
Garland had previously asked John R. Lausch, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois and a holdover appointed by former President Donald Trump, to review how classified material ended up in a locked closet in a Washington, D.C., office that had been used Biden after he left office in 2017, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News earlier this week.
Garland said Lausch briefed him on his findings on Jan. 5, and "advised me that further investigation by a special counsel was warranted." Garland said he agreed but did not elaborate further.
Multiple aides who worked for Biden in the final days of the Obama administration have already been interviewed by federal law enforcement officials, two people familiar with the matter told NBC Thursday.
In a statement released Thursday, Richard Sauber, a counsel to Biden, said the additional documents were found during a search of Biden’s two Delaware homes. He did not say how many there were or their level of classification.
No documents were found in Biden's Rehoboth Beach residence.
In a second statement after Garland's announcement, Sauber said: "We have cooperated closely with the Justice Department throughout its review, and we will continue that cooperation with the Special Counsel. We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the President and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake."
In brief remarks to reporters Thursday, the president said the documents were found in "storage areas and file cabinets in my home, in my personal library."
Asked why he'd had classified documents next to his Corvette in his garage, Biden said: "My Corvette’s in a locked garage. It’s not like they’re sitting out on a street."
He then added that "people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously."
A source familiar with the ongoing review later told NBC News that Biden’s lawyers searched his personal library at the Wilmington residence, and no classified documents were found there. The library is not the room adjacent to the garage where one classified document was found among stored materials.
House Republicans are set to vote on their “Fair Tax” bill which would impose a 23% national sales tax and eliminate the federal income, corporate, payroll, estate, Medicare, and capital gains taxes and the IRS..
