If you are shocked that some believe the alternative facts dump feeds them then I'm afraid it's you who don't believe what you see with your own eyes.
I am not shocked that MAGAs believe in alternative realities that Trump feeds them, what I am shocked by is the belief that Trump could make something happen just by thinking about it, just because he said do.

That's Godlike. Even Jesus took certain physical actions to make things happen.

And of course you must believe whatever dump says and ignore all contradicting evidence, and can't possible understand why we don't.
I am beyond shocked by that statement. So because Trump said he could declassify any document by just thinking of it, that makes it a fact. Truly Trump must be God according to MAGAs. I am sure that Trump could make a baby by just thinking about it according to them. Even Trump himself did not believe he declassified the documents before leaving the white house.
The irony is that whenever Trump is caught in a obvious lie, they resort to he was only joking, he was being sarcastic or he was only boasting.

I'll respond to Ijeboss later. He asked something very reasonable devoid of emotions or bias
By president can keep anything that's not the law it's as an implication. The president is the ultimate declass authority.
Not exactly correct. The president is not the ultimate declass authority. It depends on the type of document and the reason for the declassification. Congress has the powers to declassify certain types of documents, while the president has the powers to declassify certain documents. Agencies of government also possess the powers to declassify documents originating from its departments.

He can order a declass of any document. Guide me on how he is supposed to do this in law, what does the law say is the process? Did he follow the law because you claim that his declass orders can be debunked?
He is supposed to beg his juniors to allow/reject his orders?
Once again the president cannot order a declass of any document. There are guidelines and procedures for declassifying classified documents.
The president can declassify most classified documents with the use of executive orders. He has to actually sign an executive order before the process of declassification can commence. Even at that nuclear secrets and certain defense information cannot be unilaterally declassified by the president. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 mandates that Documents containing Restricted Data/FormallyRistricted Data are exempted from automatic declassification and must be reviewed by Department of Energy prior to release.


Iran documents. I posted what Trump said...Verbatim. Those were newspaper clippings. I also posted a cbs article quote -His attorneys did not find that specific document.
If you backtrack, I posted a memo from Trump declassifying sone documents before he left the WH.
The documents you are referring to were FBI investigations on his 2016 campaign’s contacts with Russia. Its not a blanket declassification request for all government classified documents. Trump had requested the declassification of the documents since December 2019, and FBI had given its approval after redacting some names. I don't understand the relevance of this with the Iran documents.
Why would a president declassify US invasion plans of Iran or any other country?

Call to duty is service to humanity. He should please serve o.

He should please ignore those who want to blackmail him to reject the offer to serve his fatherland.

There's a reason why the video is coming out now from the social media constituency of Shehu Sani and it's for political reason, not for patriotic or altruistic reasons. He should not fall for the blackmail.

He has learnt a lesson from this and next time will make such statements conditional like when Pastor Bakare prophesied that Pa Obj will die in office and later said God must have changed his mind after intercession. If God, the immortal invincible all-knowing can change His mind for a cause, HE El Rufai, a mortal who doesn't even know all can not be faulted after learning he was inaccurate when making that illustration based on his presumption about the future.

Nigeria still needs that his 1st Class brain, intellect , experience and his bold, frank can-do spirit. Check my signature for free stuffs!
Is he the only person in Nigeria with first class brains? You mean there are no other Nigerians in their 40s with first class brains? OK, with his first class brains, what has he contributed to Nigeria before we start talking about humanity? In his 8 years as governor of Kaduna State, what has he contributed with his first class brains to the economic and social life of kaduna?

Does it sound logical that a man became a minister at 43, became a 2 term governor (chief executive) and now go back to become a minister once again at 63? Is thar not a retrogression? Shame seems to have disappeared from the conscience of the blackman.

Step 1: Post the actual statutes he was indicted on from the indictment and superseding indictment.
Step 2: Post the the Section from the Presidential Records Act that says the president can keep any document he sees fit. You'll probably bring up the Clinton Socks case. So also link to the ruling/holding of that case. Quote the holding and then quote the place where you think that ruling entitles Trump to keep the Records.

I am telling you that what you wrote/write sound like gibberish. Do those Steps above and you'll also agree what you wrote sounds like gibberish. Do the Steps above and you'll be in a sufficiently knowledgeable place that I'll engage you in the rest.

And FYI, you haven't read the indictments. Your posts say so.
You have time to be responding to him. He says the most stupid things in his rabid defense of Trump. How can the presidential records act say a president can keep any government documents he likes? The presidential records act was referring to how incumbent presidents treats records - classified or not. Where there is a dispute in the presidential records act is personal documents/records of the president and not nuclear secrets or military documents. The law can never mandate all former presidents take all government documents as his personal property.

I honestly believe Basilico's life is tied to the defense of Trump. He says one thing, if that thing is debunked, he jumps unto another, and so on. Then a few weeks later he starts the cycle again with the same debunked claim. He says Trump was showing newspaper clipping and not actual Iran invasion plans, once that has been debunked, he switches to Trump had declassified the documents (a claim that Trump's lawyers refused to present in court), if if it was debunked that there is no evidence Trump declassified the documents, he then switches to whataboutism and 2 tier justice system.

Reading his desperation at grasping any straw to defend Trump is annoying.

You all are invited to our Sunday service at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), for our covenant day of settlement, where you become settled in every area of your life in Jesus' Name.

For those outside Lagos and Ogun State, you can visit any of our local churches or stream online via YouTube (Living Faith Church Worldwide), Facebook (Winners chapel Int'l) etc. For sure, your life will never remain the same for good. Jesus is Lord!
The problem I have with Winners Chapel and his fellow prosperity gospel doctrine is that its always about me, me and my interests. People are not taught love of neighbour, sacrifice for the common good of the society, compassion for others and even love of God. Is always a quid qro quo of giving to God and the church (which is actually the Pastor) for individual selfish benefits.
People are wired to become "born again" for selfish reasons. The irony is that the people are getting poorer and poorer, while the churches (aka pastors) are getting richer and richer, on the blood and sweat of their believers. Same situation with scammers and money doublers, who promise unattainable personal wealth by first collecting seed money from victims.

This selfish prosperity doctrine is actually responsible for tearing the very fabric of our society. It has rendered Nigerians outcasts among other people of the earth. Very soon even benin republic and Ghana will start rejecting Nigerians based on our lack of moral values while looking for prosperity. The average Nigerian is ready to do anything, comit any crime in order to attain the prosperity. And others are wired to celebrate this prosperity without question no matter how it was achieved.

Democracy is a popularity (and in the case of Nigeria a rigging and Bribery contest) and not a test of competence. That's why it throws up criminals and criminal minded people with no idea of what governance means.

This 1TB Plan is the best with 10gb daily omo sound unlimited to me 10gb daily for 1 year nothing can beat this how fast is the device or do mind giving it specs
I suspect this data plan. Why give 10gb daily after exhausting the 1TB plan? Why not just make the plan 10gb daily for 1 year straight. At 10gb daily, you would exhaust 1TB just over 3 months. Then you will have to rely on the 10gb daily bonus. I suspect the 10gb daily bonus would be throttled. I had that experience with swift network. I switched from the regular plan to the unlimited plan, it was so throttled that I could not even watch YouTube videos with it. I had to call them to switch me back to the regular plan.
I would believe this 1TB offer until I get feedback from an active user.

Wirinet, Hunter Biden pled not guilty to two charges of tax misdemeanors, the case is ongoing. As for his sweetheart deal meant to keep him out of prison on the gun charges. The judge angrily denied this plea.
The prosecution wanted to slip in an immunity deal for any future charges that may be brought up against Hunter the crackhead
The judge refused this. Set the following conditions for Hunter Biden.
HUNTER IS REQUIRED TO:

1) NOT possess a firearm
2) NOT use or possess any controlled substances (including marijuana) unless prescribed
3) Submit to full federal supervision
4) NO use of alcohol AT ALL
5) Seek active employment
6) Submit to testing for prohibited substances
7) Participate in substance abuse therapy

PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING COULD INCLUDE

1) Immediate issuance of an arrest warrant
2) Revocation of release
3) Forfeiture of bond
4) Prosecution for contempt of court

Sp what's your grouse now. Should you not be happy that the wheel of justice is grinding slowly but surely? So what exactly concerns Joe Biden that warrants an impeachment inquiry in this case? If Hunter Biden is found guilty of breaking US, I support he face the full extent of the law, including jail time. It does nor require legislative investigation yo prosecute Hunter Biden or any other private US citizen.

Actions like asking to investigate the bribe that biden and Hunter are involved with? Does your mouth bleed for too much dk sucking?
So you need an impeachment inquiry in order to ask FBI and DOJ to investigate an alleged Bribery crime? Why is it so difficult to invite the officers directly involved in the investigations for questioning? Why is the investigations only about whistleblowers? To prosecute a case you need actual evidence. 100 whistleblowers without concrete evidence cannot lead to indictment not to talk of conviction. Till today, the Republican led investigations have not revealed who did the bribings, documents and money trail that connect to Joe Biden or even video or audio recordings of Joe taking bribes. What evidence to you guys think is admissible in court to support your Bribery allegations?

There you go trying to flip the script making it sound like Republicans are the ones who started this dangerous trend. Did we not warn you when you guys were totally obsessed and consumed with trying to impeach and put Trump in jail for the most nonsensical allegations under the sun? Digging the books for the most obscure legal theories to prove he had committed some crime because you were so deranged by him?

We warned you guys that going at a former president so hard will have ripple effects. You naively thought it will stop at Trump? LMAO. The flood gates have been opened. Now every former US president will be targeted by prosecutors of the opposition party once they leave office. Just like in African banana republics.

That gentleman’s agreement that the US had for centuries of granting unofficial immunity to ex-presidents for the sake of peace has been shattered by the democrats and it’s a race to the bottom from here on.

What you don’t realize is that ALL presidents commit crimes. Big or small, before or during their presidency. They are all guilty of something. Both Bush and Obama could have theoretically been prosecuted for war crimes for their actions in Afghanistan and Libya respectively. But we all know the system will never do that.

if you target ANY human being, let alone a former president, as hard as Trump has been targeted since 2016, you will definitely find something to indict them with.

There’s a reason behind the saying that a determined prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Dig the books deep enough and we have ALL committed some theoretical crimes. It’s all about who the system decides to target and who it decides to turn a blind eye to.

Enjoy the ride from here bro. US politics just got interesting.
In effect the whole legislative investigations is just to revenge Trump's impeachments. At least Trump's impeachments were actual allegations against Trump himself for actions he took as president, and not allegations against his sons, his dead father or grandfather, or even his dead alcoholic brother.

There were the phone records with Zelensky, there was col. Vinman who reported the blackmail of Zelensky. There were administration officials including the European ambassador who found the call inappropriate. Even Zelensky and Ukrainian officials found Trump's request inappropriate.
For Joe Biden's, the Republicans have no allegations not to talk of proof. The is no direct allegations or even complaint against Joe Biden. The allegations are against Hunter Biden, Biden family and Biden's Business associates.
They say they want to hold impeachment inquiry to search for proof.

See David Packman's take on it to see how ridiculous they sound. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants Joe Biden impeached and Donald Trump's impeachments expunged.

From what I am made to understand, she did not exactly strike down the deal, she is only questioning what exactly the plea bargain covers. Is it just the tax fraud or the illegal gun purchase too. Because purchasing guns using false information is a more serious offence.

Still the allegations and plea bargains have nothing to do with Burisma, China, Romania or Bribery, and certainly has nothing to do with Joe Biden.

I give up. Have you read that the whistleblowers , two IRS agents were impeded in the investigation by DoJ? They wanted to raid Hunters storage, the FBI leaked to Hunter to clear, they wanted to question him, they were told to wait for Hunter to call them, They wanted to charge him with multiple felonies as Special Counsel, DoJ denied them. The FBI had a FD-1023 from a Confidential Source detailing $5 m bribes to each
Joe and Hunter- They never gave this doc to the IRS whistleblowers Basically the investigations were muddled up by bureaucrats, ensuring Hunter goes Scot free.He is not yet out of the woods with the gun charge, the judge can refuse that plea deal esp if that cocaine in WH was traced to him.Plus
Yesterday Hunter's lawyer lied to a court clerk to remove a filing by the House Committee. to appear as amicus curiae.
Hunter pleaded to two misdemeanors, instead of being charged with felonies.
They wanted to investigate, question and charge Hunter Biden, but they were impeded. Who were the they? Don't they have names? Why is the Republican led house not investigating the officers that impeded the wheel of justice? Why not invite Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr who were the Attorney Generals at the time? Why not invite the FBI and DOJ officials directly involved in impeding the investigations. Why moan and cry from one whistleblower to another? 100 whistleblowers will not achieve anything other that rile up MAGAs.

All these payments Hunter received, he was wiring money to 9 other Bidens including toddlers, money laundering and tax evasion. Paying for prostitutes and calling it a tax deductible business expense.
Let the impeachment of Joe Biden begin, what will come out will be devastating.
What were those payments for? There is the 5$ million bribe documented to Joe Biden.
Hunter was acting as a foreign agent without registering as one, which got Manafort a jail term.
I still ask, where is the crime? Wiring money to 100 Bidens is not a crime. If the Republican led house have concrete evidence of money laundering and tax evasion, they are aware that they can forward their evidence to relevant departments and then subpoena them if they fail to act. If the have actual evidence of Bribery against Joe Biden, why are they keeping them hidden from the public and relevant authorities. Afterall the Bribery was supposed to have taken place more than 8 years ago even before the Trump administration.

You guys are just repeating Benghazi and Hillary Emails. Years of legislative investigations without even a hint of indictment. All you guys after is just noise and wailing until after the elections.

COMPAQ:
Funny enough, despite all the plenty talk about the minimum wage, I still wonder who exactly makes N30k per month. No doubt there are, but my point is that many people also make far more than that per month - people you might not expect make that much.

I very much doubt that a danfo driver in Lagos, bolt or Uber driver is not making more than N30k a month.
Most private drivers in lagos are making more than N30k a month. As at 2019, I was paying my driver N40k a month and if i still had him now, i'd be paying him at least N60k, if not more.
I doubt any mechanic with customers is not making more than N30 a month
I doubt any spare parts dealer in idumota, electronics seller in ASPAMDA etc is not making more than N30k a month.

Maybe I'm skewed by being in Lagos sha. I guess the real issue is in towns like Ijebu, Shagamu, Ago Iwoyi, Oshogbo, etc where there isn't a lot of activity like Lagos.
This the problem I have with Nigerians, they are not holistic in their thinking, they think piecemeal. Now tell me even if uber driver makes N100k per month, you think he will pocket the whole N100k. He won't maintain his vehicle, he will not suffer unforseen but foreseen circumstances like LASMA, Police, FRSC, VIO. One of these circumstances can wipe out the whole N100k at once.

Then your driver, se he will not pay transportation to your office or house? Unless he is a live in driver. I has to increase the salary of my driver from 60k to 70k this month as he complains thar he spends more than N20k to transport himself every month. And we are not talking about cost of maintaining himself while working - launch, water, drugs, etc., before we now start talking about maintaining a house and family.

Devon Archer , Hunter Biden business partner is supposed to confirm that Hunter called Joe 24 times via speakerphone while they were meeting foreign business men.
.
I glanced the link and it's the same old story from 2019 (that led to Trump's first impeachment). Burisma this, Hunter Biden that, chinese payments, Romania. All its says are "Biden's family, Hunter Biden, Biden's Business associates,etc. What are the exact criminal allegations (according to US laws) and who are the exact suspects. Biden's family is not a person. Is there any allegations against Joe Biden? Or are you guys still searching for a crime?

Hunter Biden had been investigated since 2019 under Trump's DOJ, and most of the prosecutors involved are carryover from Trump's era including the judge. Hunter has pleaded guilty to tax crimes, for which we await sentencing. So, what are you guys and the Republican led housing wasting US legislative time for. If the prosectors are not satisfied with the judicial process, they have the rights of appeal. If the legislative are not satisfied with the prosecutors handling of the case, they have the rights to call them in for questioning.

https://wapo.st/3Y8I8pj
The lies and conspiracies are to energize the MAGA Movement and their white extremist supporters, while at the same time discouraging weak democrats and independents from voting for Biden, just enough to win the electoral votes (not necessarily the popular votes). This was that strategy that won against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Crime is a virtue among MAGA and republicans in general, the more Trump's crime is exposed and indicted the more they idolise him. See how they idolise George Santos and Marjorie Taylor Green.
But in the democratic party, crimes and indictments will make you lose support. Hillary lost because millions of democrats did not turn up to vote and not because Trump was able to convince Democrats and independents to vote for him. This is the reason the Republican party has gone overboard with Burisma and Hunter Biden. The Republican lead house will not carry out any legislative duty until the next election outside Hunter Biden. Burisma, Ukraine, Hunter Biden's person life will be the principal legislative agenda of the Republicans. They will now attempt to use whatever crimes they can conjure to paint Joe Biden.

The judgement does not affect the election case. That case was filed before the election. Yes, it is absolutely correct that INEC has the discretion to determine how results are transmitted, and INEC had in it's guideline mandated that in confirming with the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act, results must be transmitted. Having determined so, INEC can no longer change the mode after election has commenced as it will be similar to allowing the referee to change the rules of the game in the middle of the game. So that decision is right to the extent that INEC can only decide how to transmit result before the election, not after the election.
Nigerian judges can turn logic on its head in making bias rulings. No one had questioned INEC's discretion in making electoral guidelines on how election results should be transmitted, the dispute is whether INEC can change those guidelines after making them, putting then in the electoral laws that's approved by the national assembly and assuring the political parties and Nigerians on the implementation of these guidelines.
You can't change the rules in the middle of the game or after the game.

Thats not what the argument is about. The argument is about claims that certain people developed Lagos, and all these claims are fairly recent. First the igbos who started coming to Lagos at the end of the civil war, claimed they developed Lagos, then during elections we hear Tinubu developed Lagos, now Yorubas are claiming to develop Lagos.
People like me try to educate these groups that Lagos was just a tiny fishing settlement before the coming of the Portuguese. What attracted the Portuguese and British to choose Lagos as a trading port was not because they met a developed Yoruba settlement, but because of its natural harbours and lagoons that allowed them berth their ships very close to shore and navigate far inland through creeks and lagoons.

Why are you shocked? Yes 90% of Nigerian don't know what a trans mean. The few that does are those that lived or travelled to the US or get their news from US media particularly Fox news or CNN. That's why I am shocked that some people here are so obsessed with trans and LBGTQ issues and cannot issue two sentences without talking about them
This conversation is pointless I swear. Many gays don’t even agree with transgenderism.
That's why I never involve myself in the heated debates on trans and other related issues, it's pointless.

Again, you have no clue what transgender means.
That's because it's a strange concept to me. It's a concept I most probably will never encounter as a Nigerian living in Nigeria. It has no bearing on my life whatsoever.

They say gender is a social construct right? And gender is how one feels... Why do they need to fake or construct private parts to go inline with the gender they want to switch to?
Who says? Who is the they? To me these are political issues only in the US. Its one of the Democrats vs Republican talking points.
I have not heard of such debates among liberals and Conservatives in other liberal countries including highly liberal Scandinavia.
We are talking about peoples children. Being gay is different from being trans
Whose children? Have you ever heard of any Nigerian child being referred to as trans? What we are familiar with here is gayism which has even been considered a crime in our highly religious but hypocritical country. A Nigerian that wants to trans would be taken to a Pastor, Imam or babalawo for deliverance and not a doctor for surgery.

Heasykenny:
Why is there much difficulties in starting generator converted to LPG carburetor? Like it takes too much time to start and it may not even start at all
It does not. I have been using the LPG carburetor for a week now, I only had that problem the first time I used it. I used my experience with petrol to correctly diagnose the problem. The problem is over floating, you are flooding the engine with too much gas. Press the button on the lpg carburetor two or three times then start the engine. If it does not start then push it one more time. If still it dies not start then shut the gas valve and pull the cable a few times to start the generator, that should get rid of excess gas. It will start or attempt to start. Then open the gas valve and pull once more. It should start.

There is a difference between transvestites and transgenders , all under LBGTQ++
Transvestites wear opposite sex clothing,I assume it gives them a kick esp men who might be obsessed about donning sexy lingerie in public or private. I absolutely have no problem with these kinky people.They are simply men, who wear women clothing, they don't mutilate their bodies.

Transgender think they are the opposite gender, say a man wants to be called a female name,Some will get operated on, others will take hormones to grow boobs .Trans problem with me is their in your face attitude. Because you have boobs and dick, I will call you a man. Trans men want to be accomodated as females, in restrooms, beauty pageants, hostels, sports, etc. Some criminals in jail decide to identify as women so that they go to the female prisons . Many trans are really transvestites or just opportunists. Bruce Jenner broke the decathlon Olympic record, 29 years later realized he is a female trapped in a decathlete's body - now known as Caitlyn Jenner.
Some really want preteens and toddlers to be operated on to change their sex. A sick mom declared she knew the baby was a trans as soon as she gave birth. Trans activism has brought forth politically correct sounding phrases like "gender dysphoria' and "gender affirming care" or definitions such as " gender is a social construct'
Ditto liberal nice sounding words for baby murder ie "female reproductive care'.

There is a large coordinated movement to force normal people accommodate trans.
My thoughts .. there is a political reason for this and a social reason for it too.
Well if you accept that men can be women and vice versa , you can as well accept many other things eg an adult can identify as a teenager...you see where this is leading too.
***Now that you mentioned religions, opposing this trans religion lands you labels such as transphobic.. Religious bigots, right wing, zealots, Nazis etc. Most conservatives definitely oppose this trans religious cult.
These are not issues I have to deal with and will probably not deal with in my neck of the woods. I even hate discussing LBGTQ matters as I can't really relate and I have more important issues to waste my thoughts and emotions on.

Homosexuality is an issue with few Nigerian families, but transgenderism involving mutilation of bodily organs is something extremely rare (even non existent) in the Nigerian society.

I have encountered a few Homosexuals, one even worked as a sales boy for me once. He was actually caught with another boy at the back of my shop doing the deed, he was stripped naked and almost killed. I gave him serious warnings but allowed him to continue working. Not more than three weeks later he was caught again. I had to let him go.
As I said,I do not support criminalising Homosexuality, because I don't care what legal adults do in their private bedrooms. My problem is when they bring such acts into the public - whether gay or straight.
