I know you did not like Michele Flournoy so I bet you would not like this one too.


Why not a civilian different entirely to run the pentagon

Anyway I wish them well but Biden should do better I don't think he will be confirmed he needs a waiver first then 60 votes for confirmation Senator Jack Reed once said the senate should not grant waivers.

I'm Worried Michelle might be war whisperer to the President.

But I don't mind if the pick has served in uniform before or not, just good folks.

AmazonTopaz:
Even on twitter and everywhere many are not pleased with this pick.
I hope it is not true seriously anyway it is Biden's choice and cabinet but still this pick is a no no many are not happy with this pick you cannot ditch Michele Flournoy for this man did Biden team properly vet this man they have even brought out some controversial stance he said about Syria and ISIS.This has even put dem senators against Mattis confirmation 4 years ago in a tough spot to go against their word and confirm him(They should not).I won't feel bad if he does not get confirmed.
There are other qualified people not army generals to pick from

I'm raging right now sef

But let see how things unveil.

AmazonTopaz:
This is the only Biden pick I am disappointed in.
Just like the James Mattis issue this one will need a waiver and Biden said he wanted to correct the Trump abnormality.
I feel it was as a result of pressure remember last week he was asked if he will apppint a black person to a top cabinet position that could be the reason for this pick.If Michele Flournoy a civilian could not get it why him?some even argued Flournoy she was well qualified although many critics have argued her decisions have been a blunder.I don't know much about her so I quoted both sides.

I am interested in his pick for AG.Stupid Lindsey said he would not seat a Biden AG if he/she does not promise to not prosecute Trump what a fool he is because that is impossible to do but the dems have used it as a campaign push to the Georgia senate runoff

Lol.

raumdeuter:
Have they said they won't swear in Biden or if he gives orders as CinC they will not obey? Why are democrats so bothered about acknowledging victory? What next we will start asking how many Republicans have visited Biden

If Trump owns Republican party who owns Democrats

Have they said they won't swear in Biden

Lol, as if anyone has power to thwart the idea of biden inauguration.

The leader of the free world behaving recklessly like a despot, for a nation that tout democracy that much acknowledging the winner of democratic process is important.

raumdeuter:
Since you know who owns parties you should be in a better position to tell

Lol.

raumdeuter:
If Trump owns GOP, who owns the Democratic party

ok then you tell me.

raumdeuter:
Who owns Democratic party?

Really ?? where is this going ??

You even deviating from initial talking point, let focus on that, Lol.

raumdeuter:
Trump is not a whole party

Trump owns GOP, Lol.

raumdeuter:
All these are scare tactics that Democrats have always deployed. The Republican party is different from Trump.

As a black man I know the party that has my interests financially and not just want to deceive with populist ideologies and socialism

Where they come preaching to us when they need votes and after elections they abandon us

Lol, Trump cares about you

AmazonTopaz:
Sorry don't blame me behaviours like these are what you find among African leaders and third world countries not in the USA unfortunately it has been normalised here in Africa and seen as normal over there it is not common so anybody watching around the world especially in Africa and countries ruled by autocrats specifically their leaders would be having a field day because America would have no griunds to question the pseudo/illiberal democracy as Trump has unmasked it all dragged the country down and given the country a new look.Such leaders will be happy with what us going on and citizens won't rate America anymore even some of them have been misinformed as a result of Trump that America rigs elections on a widescale so they are no different from their own leaders who are dictators disguising as democratic elected leaders who rig elections to stay in.power so mother America has no right to tell thrm how to conduct elections after the debacle and humiliation Trump has put the country to.If not of strong institutions and some patriotic individuals who follow the law Trump would have succeded in overturning the election and turning it into a banana republic as Larry Hogan said two weeks ago.This attitude of Trump can easily work in Africa because we have strong men and not strong institutions that are able to resist Trumpian tendencies as seen here in this continent thankfully the American system was stronger than him.so there is a beacon of hope had he succeeded na another story we for hear and leaders like him all over the world for dey talk another story and have some strong reasons to excuse their own undemocratic behaviours.

Yeah you right, it is not uncommon in African countries.

But Barack and Michelle are black and they accepted the 2016 election result even though it was painful for them, the President invited the fool two days after the election to the White house & Michelle also welcome the high end escort lady too.

Trump has badly destroy US reputation across the globe, her allies are just pitying her i'm talking of UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, South Korea & Japan.

It will soon be over though.

AmazonTopaz:
Someone should check's Trump's ancestry or lineage there must be an African somewhere he has African DNA

It not about Africa, it the state of mind.

Saying donald might possess some African DNA strand you are dragging all of us in the mud.

PrideofLincoln1:
Exactly. I don't know the kind of power Trump have on these Republicans that they can't say the election is over and we are having another President comes January 20.

Trump is now the most powerful republican, for real.

Deep down in their mind biden is the president-elect, David perdue acknowledged him recently in a zoom meeting but that will not happen in public.

All there action point to one thing - self preservation.

bayelsaowei:
See the fool Nigerians are supporting...

Lol, Trump now owns the GOP & it only takes a tweet to end the career of any Republican that does not resonate with him.

He knows this and he is using it to hold them hostage, trump owns the asset(supporters) that elect those folks.

OgaTheTop2:
You can imagine someone like FFK supporting and urging Trump....steewpid..Tuehhh!

Lol, already picking fight with the VP-elect, someone who is oblivious of his existence.

If Langley offer him small attention now, dem go dey shout.

Timiofak:
Are you late ? Lmao. More than 30 hrs the video came out. Debunked.

Sorry sir, move along.

The guy too dull, invoke martial law and let the military conduct another election.

What are we ?? Banana Republic.

The idea of such narrative is super crazy.

bayelsaowei:
I think trump should be tried and if possible arrested for all of these moves to set a precedence for other fools who might emerge to behave wildly like this if they lose elections by a land slide.

Trump is a mad man

If the election was too close, it will be a total mess cos this election is kinda close.

He exposed the loophole in the laws guiding the presidential elections, the founding fathers never envisage someone like trump will rule the country.

AmazonTopaz:
The shittshow ends December 14th.

Supreme court won't even hear the case.Any deluded Trumpanzee that does not use their deplorable brain to reason they have been scammed will remain a fool forever.

So officially the grifting too will end on 14th.

Woah, 200M+ USD that buys you a new life, if you are debt free though, Lol.

armyofone:
Interesting time

Lol.

armyofone:
Someone is whispering to oga asking him to suspend the constitution and hold new election

Is it possible to do that ?

Kidding , right ?? Lol.

AmazonTopaz:
The Gop messaging did wonders there.
The lies about dems being socialist remember that a lot of cubans are there and the memory of castro still haunts them afterall the elderly are reliable voters there
They bought into it did you see how the dems lost Miami dade a reliable democratic stronghold because of the socialist slogan the dems lost some reliable counties and won two republican ones Sarasota or so and one other.
It was the socialist messaging a lot of people are gullible.Biden even lost Florida than Hillary did in terms of margin.Also the USPS did not deliver up to 200k ballots in Florida before election day I read it in the news too likely dem votes who knows..
The democrats are bad at messaging and voter outreach I believe the failure to hold door to door campaigns because of coronavirus was a factor in dems lost they were so cautious and unlike republicans they reached out door to door to lie and misinform people.Sometimes when you reach out in person it helps because you can then enlighten them because they may have been fed a lot of lies on the internet/social media so you meet them and correct such misimformation this affected the democrats.Afterall some gullible people here in Naija believe the democrats are illuminati and Obama,Biden and others work for the antichrist the funny thing is Illuminati means light in latin and nothing in history or research points to illuminati being a representative of the antichrist all are conspiracy theoretical lies with no evidence and the bible never referenced any of such in the book of Revelations.I was once a christian and so even though I no longer practice the religion I read and research holybooks just to gain different knowledge and philosophies.

My opinion @shegzkhn what do you think

Apt, your submission was impeccable.

budaatum:
This is like asking me why ono has her head stuck up trump's ass!

I don't have a perception why trump won Florida. I'm just glad he lost.

Lol, his label for biden/harris as socialist worked well.

Now opposing your earlier assertion, i think trump has zero strikes against sanders if he was the dems candidate.

budaatum:
I don't know why trump won Florida.

Why did trump win in Florida?

are you kidding ??

Just your own perception, why ??

budaatum:
Its not the same thing. Trump can say whatever he wants but to most Americans, Sanders is way far commie left to Kamala's sort of centre left, and Kamala was not running for President.

Lol, Kamala will have upper hand in the next administration.

She might even displaced dick cheney as most powerful vice president in American history.

why did you think trump won florida ??

budaatum:
Socialism is evil Communism to most Americans, and as Pride said:

Look he said the same thing about kamala in every of his hate rallies, i watched ever damn one of it.

First he will attack senator harris and say biden shouldn't have picked her as running mate cos the way she treated him during the debate, he'd continue by saying she is more further left than 'crazy bernie' and conclude that America will never be a socialist country.

So you see, it almost the same thing.

PrideofLincoln1:
That's why Trump was trying to derail Biden's candidacy with their stupid Hunter Biden garbage and it failed. Trump knew Biden would give him problems and Trump and his people really wanted Bernie Sanders so that they can label him with Socialist which is a political killer in America.

If sanders was dems candidate he will lose florida right ??

budaatum:
I'm so glad the Dems never chose Sanders even though I agree with his Socialist policies. If Sanders had won, which I consider unlikely, he'd be standing toe to toe with orange turd now making the turd relevant instead of moving on like more mature Biden has done.

Eh, sanders may not crush Trump ke, how do you figure ??

budaatum:
British police are not much different I guess except without the guns. I was stopped once while driving in an area known for drug dealers.

Policeman said, "show me your driving licence and insurance", and on seeing my name asked where I was from and I asked him what where I'm from has got to do with the cost of meat at the butchers, so he asked if he could search my car and I said go ahead but they found nothing except there was a gash in my tyre which he said was illegal, I must pay a fine and get points on my licence which would double my insurance, so I went to court to contest.

Court day, judge said, "budaatum, are you guilty or not guilty?"

I said, "not guilty".

Judge said, "was you driving with a gash in the tyre or not?"

I said, "yes judge, gash was in tyre and I was driving, on the way to tyre man to get new tyre when police stopped me claiming I was speeding which they had no evidence for, it would seem".

Judge said, "Police lawyer, present your case", but police lawyer said, "I sorry your honour, but police who stopped budaatum has refused to appear in court to testify", so judge told her off, apologised to me and told me to consider suing police for wasting my time.

Ever since, if police follow me in car, they radio check, see my details, toot siren and just drive off.

Point is, police might be bad but its bad not to know your rights.

You funny sire.

You are living in an advanced world, you can't compare.

The moment you start reading your right to a Nigerian police then you should know 7.62 round might hit you any minute

Police harrass Devs. in Nigeria insanely... You think they dont know their right ?? , but I mean they are dealing with animals.

See, those politicians that ensure that those folks don't get paid well, get absurd training, establish lack of equipments, inadequate funding & a host of other problems you think they don't what what they are doing ?? Lol.

budaatum:
You know Naija police now. Any little thing dem go point gun.

I was once arrested at Mile 2 for wandering while reading a book waiting for a bus. They pointed gun when I refused to pay bribe or enter their vehicle. I shot them with oyinbo and they let me go.

I once drove a UK registered bus full of books to my hometown. Police pointed gun when I refused to pay bribe and gave them book instead. They thought I was mad and let me go.

Police pointed gun for taking photos at Murtala Mohammed Airport and refusing to give up my camera. I insisted they take me to their oga who took my film instead, had it developed, found nothing on it and sent me my photos.

I was beaten by soldiers at Idi Araba for wearing camouflage. They pointed gun, threatened to shoot me and locked me inside shalanga till they got bored and eventually let me go when I sat there writing in a book.

Me, police and soldier, we get long history, so I always go about with a book so my time with them is not wasted.

Eh, Egbami for real ??

All the actions by the Nigerian law enforcement agent ain't different from what is obtainable in countries led by authoritarian.

That is one of the leverage the Leaders have got over the citizens.

edi287:
My people - Trumpanzees are beyond delusional. They've now turned on Lin??

All my hope is that all this little game they are playing should benefit the dems in Georgia.

budaatum:
I cannot imagine what will make me point one of these things at a fellow human being or what will make another human being point one at me apart from perhaps Nigeria police who in the past have pointed a similar thing at me so I pointed my brain back at them and here we are.

I guess I that's why I do not live in the supposed land of the free and the brave.

Land of the free, Lol.

It heart wrenching i got to tell you and when bad things happen all we hear is 'Thought and Prayer'.

Your ordeal with Nigeria police, wetin happen ??

PrideofLincoln1:
Some people in America own guns for vengeance here too but the problem is that the guy you want to harm might even be more deadlier than you. I can't even tell you how many of my friends I have converted to owning guns because they will tell me that it is dangerous in a house with little children. There's safety locks on all our four guns and I keep it in my basement. My next purchase now is AR 15 and that will be my Birthday and Christmas present because I was born on Dec 25.

AR-15 purchase on Christmas day

PrideofLincoln1:
That's why I told Amazon that Nigeria make up is different from US. An average American gun owner looks at guns as a protective measure because we don't have those big fences that covers the buildings in US like you do in Nigeria. I will hate for some crackhead to break in my house and I will run under the table or bed in my house. God forbid because I will blow his brain into 200 pieces and I won't even be taken to the police station. In Illinois, we have what we called concealed and carry and that means when you go out, you have to put your guns in a hidden place in your body or vehicle but States like Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and even Indiana next door to me is an open firearms States. You can show your AK47 and that's what those Nazi punks used to do in the Jim Jones era to intimidate blacks but thank God, these brothers are all packing now and I am grateful for that.

Right.
