All things being equal and all factors considered, APC supporters might be better than MAGA. I can write a whole article about how much better they are.
Lol, I would love to know your reasons because many of the Yoruba APC supporters for instance are ethno-nationalists like MAGA. They are both Ronu. grin
Sycophants, bigots, prejudicial, you name it. grin

A billionaire conned them? Now where have I seen that before? 🤔

If this is true, it’s so funny lmao
What Muskite is doing is illegal and this is why they are not going to give up power not in the next 4 years unless something very drastic happens because he would do anything to avoid prison and with Orange Mussolini in power he remains a free man.
Again, John Roberts caused this and he will watch as Orange man ruins the Judiciary. American voters too will take 70% of the blame.

Oh really? Perhaps I’ve misjudged them more leniently than I should have.

But there’s always that added layer of racism, misogynoir and religious bigotry which I feel maga has over APC supporters that makes them worse. Then add the fact that they should know better. For people who live in a first world country enjoying the benefits of working institutions (for the most part) and freedoms only to turn around and let themselves be bamboozled into this because of ignorance. Who knows what other terrible decisions they’d make if they were in Nigerian citizens’ position?

the similarities are definitely unshakable but I was thinking maga might be worse. Like for example, I wouldn’t imagine that APC supporters will turn against education, medical science and research because tinubu told them to. But if they are capable of that, then all hope is truly lost for Nigeria seeing as we’re not in a position to be going backwards even further.

I’ll have to take you and Amazon’s word for it. My experience with apc people starts and ends on NL.

Trump has been playing you like a fiddle when you start throwing fits about anything and everything

To rule for more than 2 terms you need a constitutional amendment which I don't think can be done, If this can get done and get Trump a 3rd or 7th term then so be it, If the proper method of amendment is followed

You are British where a Prime minister can rule for all his entire life. Where Margaret Thatcher ruled for 3 terms, Tony Blair ruled for 3 terms

If you are so angry about 2 terms limit then you have a place to start which is closer to home for you. Start from UK
Ha. Raum said it's your fault for taking it seriously when Trump who started and insurrection and then pardoned those same people said that he was considering running for a 3rd term, knowing full well there is 0 chance a constitutional amendment would be passed by then.

Epic levels of gaslighting.

Why do they only realize how stupid it is when someone else plays it back to them? This inability to see what’s right in their face is the dictionary definition of deranged cheesy

Hard lessons will be learned. What makes it so sad is that it was very preventable. cheesy

Draw a line from October 7, 2023. That's the false flag event that justifies Israel's ongoing terrorism.

The targeting of American ships did not begin until after the United States, under Biden's leadership, formed a 10-nation coalition against Yemen and started bombing that poor nation to protect Israeli ships. The argument Biden made was some of the vessels hit were only Israeli affiliated. JD Vance has told us it is mostly European ships most of which are controlled by Israel indirectly.

Subsequently, tensions heightened and calls for a ceasefire were pushed. Trump took credit for it even though he was not in office at the time. When this agreement was reached in Gaza, Yemen announced a cessation of military operations.

A week after this, Israel violated the agreement and began blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Yemen announced the resumption of military operations in the Red Sea against Israeli ships only. This is despite the fact that for two weeks to date, no ship was targeted because all Israeli ships had stopped passing through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

Then, two days before Israel announced the resumption of bombing Gaza, Trump began carrying out airstrikes on Yemen, even though there was no threat or targeting of American ships. Again, why JD Vance was worried about how the unnecessary war was going to be sold to Americans who knew Trump ran on being pro-peace.

JD Vance said he was tired of America fighting on behalf of Europeans (he meant Israel). Hegseth called them free-loaders. The whole chat just exposed how much of chief hypocrites they all are and it has to be called out.

Trump is bombing women, children, babies, medics, journalists- rather than instruct Satanyahu to comply with the ceasefire terms. Benjamin bragged about it including about getting Trump to deport people he called antisemites. Americans did not vote for this.

That is why I said all the signal leaks were misdirections. Simply put forward to generate public sympathy and endorsement. Aren't you worried that the democrats who never see anything good in Trump are tacitly endorsing this madness?

That should tell you all you need to know.
I'll defer this to later after I look at the timelines. Those mad Mullahs of Iran are the puppeteers. Iranan ships gather Intel on the merchant ships then pass it on to the Houthi.
I'll circle back on your post later today

I love when Trump says stuff that’s certifiably bonkers you reduce it to him playing a tactic or strategy. Ugh 😑

Then you also turn around and say well if he does it, then so be it. As if you would ever have the same energy if a democratic president ever attempted this whether by the “proper method” or not.

I can say with my chest that no matter how well a democrat leads, I wouldn’t support them for a 3rd or 7th term because that would be the death of the US. But you’re okay as long as someone from your party does it. That’s the summary of everything we’ve been going back and forth about on this thread.
You are yet to understand trolling Musk gave out a check to people who had voted last week or signed some petition and were willing to go knocking on doors.
Hus reason for the checks. Media goes bonkers, they advertise the event for free
That's master level trolling.

this is not a bug.it is a feature
this is not an isolated instance

what is the difference between ice and religious police at this point? they do whatever they want and answer to no one.
it is a message anyone who does not conform to our preference can be disappeared
we are watching america speedrun into a police state

trump has been president for all of three months
this is the us becomes a country like iran or russia
i have to wonder exactly what is in the minds of these project 2025 guys

what do they think the final outcome of this will be?

Imagine, doing nothing wrong and not just getting deported but being sent to basically a prison camp in El Salvador without a trial.

You are right. There is no difference. This is insanity.
This is the kind of stuff we would be sanctioning other countries (non oil providing) for.

This is deeply unAmerican.
The concept that ALL men(includes women and not only citizens) are created equal with certain unalienable rights was the core of the founding of the US.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
I think in the end the Supreme Court will stand up to some of this stuff. That at the minimum Roberts and Barrett will side with the Democratic appointed Justices.
And I hope/suspect that enough people will see this and will come out in the midterms.

But what Trump is doing is effective.
It's making enough people scared enough to stay silent.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Tarriffs. Trump use of tariffs and I have indicated here before is leverage.
A lot of companies do business with America and use the dollar.Some of you are not aware that Uncle Sam can come for you if you paid out a bribe using the US dollar. Ask Adani the richest Indian who was indicted for bribing govt officials to secure huge contracts in aviation, transport and energy in India.

Trump placed a 25% tariffs on Venezuela for refusing to accept deported illegal immigrants. Reliance Industries who are one of the worlds largest refiners of crude oil buys 10-15% of all oil exported from Venezuela. Reliance Industries has stopped buying their Crude over the tarriffs.
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/indias-reliance-stop-buying-venezuelan-oil-over-us-tariffs-sources-say-2025-03-26/

Only a matter of time before Maduro capitulates.

Tariffs are meant to force recalcitrant govts to comply. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
This is not rocket science.Trump has also been talking about America being exploited and taken advantage of by Japan ,from way back in the late eighties and nineties. "Countries send full containers to American ports which then return empty." If I remember.
Now to the liberals that's a bad thing to say, probably racist.

This was a legal immigrant who was picked up by ice and deported

The news is full of stories like this.

It is not surprising that Republicans are not concerned. This is what they voted for. This is what they want. For those who are not like them to be silenced and intimidated.

Wasn't referring to such cases ,I meant the whole idea about immigrants. Why are democrats so against deportations.
An example. Joe Biden granted Temporary Protected Status to 350,000 Venezuelans on Oct 2023 for 18 months set to expire Apri 7 next week. DHS announces they won't renew the status. An Obama judge has ruled that the TPS should not expire for it "threatens to: inflict irreparable harm on hundreds of thousands of persons whose lives, families, and livelihoods will be severely disrupted, cost the United States billions in economic activity, and injure public health and safety in communities throughout the United States.".

Biden can giveth, Trump can't taketh away.
Venezuela is actually threatening Guyana demanding to take by force some oil rich territory ,the Trump admin has warned Maduro over that. In other words Venezuela is not at war or under gangs, it has the military might to invade another country.

Another leftist firebombed a Tesla dealership. He was arrested. Pam Bondi says DOJ will be asking for 20 years.

What for? Because Elon is uncovering massive govt fraud in govt,media says he has provided no evidence.

This should also outrage you .

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/03/31/uk-school-suspended-a-toddler-for-transphobia-n3801347

Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.
The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.
But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.
