You are already tired? Show us any time you complained about Bidens policies and the garbage policies of the Democrat party
i probably wasnt even commenting much in this section when Biden was president, just as I am now.

I commented more on local politics.

I am only shocked that the things I complain and yammer about locally, is what i have to shout about regarding the present US administration.

I just see Wike, Akpabio, Tinubu, and other lawless Nigerian leaders in the present Trumps administration.

He’s unlike any human being who’s ever lived. Part human part extraterrestrial. His body has special DNA to regenerate cartilage. Like never seen before. Tremendously!

Immediately the “bullet” hit and he stood up for a photo op moment, I called it immediately. Staged!

I was stunned at those who couldn’t immediately clock it. People really are different I guess 🤦🏽‍♀️ but that means we know who I’m going to be selling my beachfront property in the Sahara desert to. Gullible

Democrats have emboldened their voters to commit violence. This one didn't get away .

Homeland Security
@DHSgov
Eduardo Aguilar, the illegal alien who offered $10,000 bounties on TikTok for the murder of our brave ICE agents, has been ARRESTED in Dallas, TX.

We are thankful this criminal who had a firearm in his possession was arrested before he could kill one of our law enforcement officers.

The Trump administration will not back down from these threats, and every criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice.

They can't protest when they have stripped the Royalty all powers . They are planning on delayin county g council elections for another year. Officially it's because they are doing a reorganization of the county councils.
One reason advanced for the extra year's delay is that Farage"s party might win. Makes sense

That is a complete bastardization of the discussion. Please, come on!!!

The King may be small government in the sense that it's ONE PERSON and maybe his family, but the REAL question is...what are his powers? The King of Swaziland (Eswatini) is an absolute monarch while King Charles of England barely has any powers, he's completely subject to Parliament.
You'd note I gave historical kings and emperors, with powers modern King Charles doesn't have.

My point is, single (small) governments have been corrupt in the past, such that I don't think size of government correlates with corruption, since private companies can be corrupt too, especially if there's no big government to oversee them.

As for Nigeria, the wage bill alone will eventually crush the size of government, because there's only so many past government pensions you can tax people to pay before we revolt. Expected hyperbolic date is 2125-2225.

In hindsight, we will all come to thank the tyrant predator for one thing, he made the republican party so toxic, right now it's barely hanging but that doesn't bother him lol. After all his corruption will be exposed in a special commission, the ones who enabled him will be fleeing or entering witness protection. His presidency will ultimately turn out to the most destructive thing America has ever suffered.
Na! He has not made the republican party so toxic enough. I want him to do 4 more years of his destruction so people will instantly drop dead on hearing repu alone!

I agreed with the cease fire and the end of the war in Gaza.

But I wont sit down and agree with Trump for the same things nigerians are suffering from under the misrule of African leaders.. impossible..

I cant be dragging Tinubu and his gang here in nigeria for corruption whilst hypocritically supporting Trump for doing exactly same thing (because he is white?)

I work in a firm that operates on tight business principles, based on ethics and compliance. Probably you do too. I cant come out to support a man who is openly and brazenly mis stepping law and order just to get what he wants or do whatever he wants.

I have asked you and I will ask you again..

Without a left vs right. What Trump has done is it OK with you. ? Don't tie it up with what other persons have done. Pardoning a Felon.!!! Does it agree with you as a person?
The question is, why did you not care when it wasn't Trump doing it?

Where were you when Biden was misruling? Why didn't you care about Biden's corruption and Hunter Biden's laptop?

Drag Tinubu, drag Trump only if you DID NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES TO BIDEN.

Am I the only one seeing the hypocrisy here? It took you a while to even admit Biden messed up on the border issue. That's because you saw inexcusable videos of blacks and some Democratic politicians complaining about the open border.

Your principles disappear when it is not trumped. Did you complain when Letitia James was saying that if she is elected, she is going to go after Trump? You did not

You did not complain of Biden's dealings
You did not complain about Hunter's laptop

You defended them.

Without left and right what he is doing about immigration is okay.

Tariff is okay. The whole world is using Trump as the Boogie man and they are not looking inward

I feel you. It must be very difficult for you to understand that King Charles III is not anywhere near like wannabe king dump.

You just go check how many executive orders King Charles and his mother before him signed, and you might understand the difference.

Yeah. See how simplistically you reason like you don't know president dump as he is has more powers than King Charles, and a king dump will have even more.

Pity dump can't ever be crowned though. But I have a great idea. dump should shove Farage aside and just run for king of UK, since you believe he'd win.

Hmmm, Biden did as well but no one protested Biden.
Bottom line is one is a king, the other is elected with checks and balance.

The point on size if government is well taken. That's correct.

The more important parameter is the FUNCTIONS of government, which determines the size (number of employees).

For example, privatizing Ajaokuta Steel will immediately reduce the number of government employees. And the wage bill will also go down.

Ajaokuta Steel is a monument of corruption, people get jobs there by political patronage and then get paid for producing NOTHING. Selling it off will therefore automatically reduce official corruption.

The Department of Education in the USA is a massive duplication and ursupation of State Government functions. Abolishing it will reduce the size and expense of government and also reduce corruption.

The USA Federal Agencies involved in housing subsidies and finance should be abolished. They crashed the world economy in 2008. Why does the entire Department of Housing & Urban Development even exist?

These shouldn't be controversial positions.

Healthcare via charitable organisation equals Americans accessing health care.
Yes it does...the point is if a VISITOR can get healthcare, surely US citizens can get it too. We know healthcare is the number one justification for socialism. We know.

Thanks.

I am not disagreeing with you. My own Orolu Local Government is bloated because every local government chairman employs more staff, though there's no work for them to do. Those who come to the local government just sit around doing nothing, and there's loads more collecting wages without ever working at all. Some have even lived in UK for years. Yet, we can not find anyone to staff the local government library.

Which is why I've selected the above from yours, and even left in your "Good luck", though I don't agree with luck.

Is it really "the FUNCTIONS of government" which determine size, or the purpose of those that are elected to form the government?

I ask because I'm trying to figure out what the function of my Orolu Local Government might be, if we have one at all.

I'd have appreciated dump's staff cuts if they were not biased and unAmerican.

A good one, no? Considering the current system leaves so many without healthcare because they can't afford to call an ambulance?

I've benefitted from UK socialist healthcare. I used to moan at my National Insurance Contributions until it saved my life. There's no way I could have bought the care I got if I'd been relying on my personal insurance or funds, and trying would have significantly negatively impacted my living.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1127305/

Add education as co number one justification for socialism, because it reduces the uneducated in the society.

US can not socialise healthcare, though I should never say never. And UK is trying hard to privatise more of ours.

A better directed DOGE, yes. And past governors have tried, mind.

Bisi Akande, Governor 29 May 1999 – 29 May 2003, told his kitchen staff to stop killing 2 cows everyday in the governor's house because only his wife and he lived there and they can't eat 2 cows. From now on they must buy only 2 kilogramme of meat a day.

The people said he's selfish, that only he wants to eat. They labelled him Baba kilo, and kicked him out in one term.

Aregbesola, holding my nose, Governor 27 November 2010 – 27 November 2018, said he can't pay the bloated wage bill of Osun State, he had to let about a third of them go. The unions said no. "How could you? Don't you know government wage is all many families live on?"

So he offered half wage for a short while, that ended up like half wage every second month, and many wailed.

Which is why I'd argue that it is the people who are responsible for the leaders they elect and how or whether they monitor what they do, and for letting them know if it's liked or not by voting them in or out.

This, after all, is why you blame Palestinians for what the Hamas they elected did on October 7, no? And why we blame maga yous for dump.

This is the party that thinks men should be in women sports in women bathroom why not when they cannot even define what a woman is

The party that protest when crime is clamped on and they actually encourage crime, more and more young people are moving to the Republican party

Check the new registration data recently, there was a net 4m gain for the Republican party

Many minorities are moving to the Republican party now in huge numbers
