Clinton was just a bad candidate, trump was just fortunate.
Clinton wasn't bad. Infact she's stronger than Biden, despite the last minute Scandal. The Democrats mistake was writing off trump and under estimating him ,while over estimating their own chances because they feel people will be sentimental to having tge first female president. So they didn't do their proper homework.

The only current black judge on the US supreme court was nominated by George Bush senior, a republican.
The thing is that the racism tag about republicans is actually a myth. Racists are not restricted to the Republicans, Racist can be a member of Republican or Democratic party. Even Biden is a known racist. The only thing Democrats have is that they virtually own the best media, so whatever they push out through them sticks. Over the years of political campaigns against Republicans, Democrats have made that racist stereotype narratives to stick on republicans. The republican will have a lot to do going forward to attract more minorities into their fold in the future. Even though Trump is a crazy guy, he did the little he could to attract a substantial minorities to his side. It's left to the Party hierarchy to build on that, although they need to use other methods to gain more of them sha, because Trump's method is not sustainable in the long run.

My point is that any average white guy can be racist, whether republican or democrat.

I get his point but I don't see this current republican party restrategising it will actually be the democrats.The republican party is now far right I am sure you saw that they elected Qanon idiots to the house of congress they will become more racist and far right if care is not taken and this will cause a split or crack like what happened in the democratic party with the dixiecrats.

I know that story not too well though it was because of Franklin Rooselvelt that was why the democrats became less racist after the dixiecrats broke out the 1960's the party reformed and became friendly to civil right movements that was when the blacks embraced the party because the party gave them a place.
That's true sha.

Let the future generation decide that with years to come the republican party will crack because conservative values are not advanced at all and the world keeps evolving.
He's right though . No party will dominate. Republican will just repackage and restrategize.

Republican and Democratic party in the US are strong institutions and none of them will die out very soon and none will dominate another. They are not like APC and PDP with no ideals and directions. If PDP was a proper party, they would have taken advantage of the present APC f*k ups by now with proper direction towards 2023. The Democrats saw an opportunity in COvid19 and they took it and milked the sh*t out of it to kick out their opposition.

Do you know that the democrats used to be the racist party who were pro slavery? Along the line, they just restrategized and today, they've have swapped places with the republican as per ideals.

How the Democrats made the swap, I'll never know.

If his business suffers, it won't be because of politics though. Trump is known to be an habitual declarer of bankruptcy long before he went into politics and he usually bounce back.

Seems to be true for trump too, becoming President will most likely result ending up in prison for him and his kids
Oga calm down. None of Trump or his children are going to prison. He'll just get ridiculed as per he get mouth Cho Cho Cho. Lol

Mata's first touch on that pass exposed the ball as the opponent's anticipation was brilliant, swift on and spot on. The pass wasn't that bad as some of you portrayed it here.
True. A better first touch could have avoided story that touch.

Nobody should blame mata for that second goal.. I just watched the highlight reel..

Na Bruno set am up.. That's a clear setup.. Very clear one
Normally, with a little more body mass from Mata, he wouldn't have lost the ball, but his small frame failed him because he was very frail to sheild the ball. The pass is a 50-50. It's not entirely a bad pass. To make matter worse ,MATA no get speed, another player would have caught up with the guy that collected the ball or at least disturbed the player to prevent him from doing anything meaningful. All in all, Both Bruno and Mata were at fault. Mata own vex me pass, the Istanbul player just pack am commot for ball with too much ease.

Unfortunately, they are not meant to see it.

It seems the Democrats borrowed a leaf from 2015 APC play book,which is Destroying the reputation of their opponent with one excuse(corruption for Jonathan and Covid 19 handling for Trump)

Whether Biden will turn out to be American version of Buhari who turned things from bad to worse, time will tell.

But aside for Trump's uncount utterances, he did well pre-covid.
No one is perfect, but it seems Mr Biden is seen as the perfect leader by majority of Americans currently, no thanks to the Democrats saviour complex they instilled on him during the campaign. Hope they deliver on those perfections.

Paul Scholes in his attempt to absolve English players Luke Rashford, Magwire, Shaw, blamed Martial for yesterday's defeat.
Paul scholes is an as*hole na. it's not new thing

Even though I no like martial as per his sometimes lazy attitude on the pitch, he was the only person in the attack trying to grind our results. He even scored from a Luke shaw bad cross, and won us a lot of freekicks in dangerous areas, yet he's the one Scholes is blaming . No wonder Scholes is a failure as a coach

What if democrats decide to pack the supreme court with more judges? Remember there were rumours they will do it and Harris was asked but she dodged the question and never answered it.
The democrats needs to win the senate majority for that to happen. Without it, a republican senate majority will just keep bouncing them

Them don change am sha. The registered voters is 3.6m . They claimed it increased to that number due to people that registered to vote on Election day.

Going by that number sef , it seems fishy that they recorded 3.2m votes our of 3.6 m registered voters. That is like 90% voter turnout and that is ridiculously outrageous and almost impossible.

2016 voter turnout in that state was 47% . We all know more people voted this year but jumping from 47% to 90% looks ridiculous.
The werey in charge of rigging for the democrats in that state must have done a bad Job, hope it doesn't come back to affect Biden if Trump doesn't conceed defeat and goes to court. Because that shit is irregular, no matter how they want to spin it grin

You dont get it do u? Its not about spinning this is human lives we are talking about, the fact is that donald trump downplayed the virus and this has lead to the death of over 200,000 people and there is no moral justification for that stop trying to mix politics with epidemiology.
You'll be naive to think the democrats give a f*k either.

It's all about power grab to the Politicians. All these moral talk is just to garner more support.

Trump's undoing is his lack of political correctness when handling things. He says things as it is without consideration for feelings or emotions. The democrats simply capitalised on that and used the moral standing of loss of American lives to garner a lot of sympathy votes. If the democrats cared about American lives, they won't be sacrificing them in the middle East with the needless wars they cost.

Una funny sha. Democrats and Moral justification in the same sentence

Why should you always see things from this perspective. Everything against trump? Hmm. IMO, it was also a good opportunity to show true leadership, he goofed it with so much unserious talk. Now it may cost him his office.
No matter how Trump deals with the virus, the democrats where ready to spin it regardless.
If Trump imposed a national lock down,they were going to use it against him that he's taking away their freedom. If he didn't impose a national lockdown like he did, they were going to spin it as not caring about the people and allowing Americans to die like what they are currently using against him. The Virus was just a perfect event for them.

You know how I know that Democrats will spin it if trumped had locked down earlier? It was because Biden was against the travel Ban trump imposed on China in the early days of the virus, when the virus was still restricted to China.

So there was no way trump will win in the eyes of democrats, which ever way he chose to handle it.
All those Democrats followers are just naive , thinking Biden cares about protecting them against virus. It was just an end to a means of grabbing power, just like Buhari used Jonathan corruption issues against him, in which Buharis followers thought he cared about fighting corruption, not knowing Jonathan was a learner when it comes to Buhari corrupt administration grin

Teams are scoring for fun in EPL, pundits claimed the standard of defence has dropped in the Premier league. Why are other leagues finding it difficult to break the defense of the farmer's(EPL) league now? grin
You dey mind those drunkard pundits? grin

Even Man utd that has been shitty in the league sef, the best teams from other leagues can't breach a their defence. PSG with all the Neymar , Mbappe only had to score them through Martial own goal. while a free scoring Liepzig became an impotent against them.

The fact is that, the EPL teams have got stronger this season and not the other way round. Every match is now madly contested like a final in the league.

If trump eventually wins,a lot of viewers will discredit any news from CNN as incredible
CNN credibility went into coma after 2016. If Trump wins again, their credibility will finally be buried.

CNN we all used to know for their objectivity and sound reporting us now dead. It's now a Democratic party full time propaganda machine. very sad

SportsRe: Paul Pogba Admits He Made A "Stupid Mistake" After Conceding Penalty To Arsenal by timay(m): 12:00pm On Nov 02, 2020
Logon59:
There's always spotlight on Pogba so everything he does including mistakes, will be criticised. But I won't criticize him for giving away a penalty, everyone can make that mistake. I will however criticize him for giving the ball away 15 times in one match. Not because it's Pogba but any player that carelessly loses possession and puts his team under pressure that much in such a high intensity match, deserves every criticism that will come his way.

Are you planning an upcoming building project and don't have a decent plan yet? or you have one but not satisfied with it's quality? Or you don't have the additional drawings (structural, mechanical, electrical and BOQ) contact me to design top standard and complete building plans plus full supervision all at decent costs. Chat or call 0816 124 7898 or visit any of the links below to see more.
Even the penalty give away sef is becoming annoying from him. This year alone he's given away stupid penalties 5 times. This season alone, he's given away 2 penalties. It's no more a one off mistake, it's now becoming a habit

Southern kaduna has no business being in north west , Yorubas have no business being in north central , some part of Niger have no business being in north central,
Oyigbo ,etche , asaba , egebema , omuma have no business being in south south
Same with Igbos in benue and kogi

Let's have 6 zones ..let each zone create as many Provence as they wish in the structure that would fit them

Election should be done by number of zones u win ...u only need to win 4 zones to be president
Number of voters in each zone done really matter

@Bolded. That idea is similar to USA electoral college vote system.

It ensures that no one region is able to impose their will on others, just because they have the population to do so, like what we have today.
