It’s only “MAGA republicans that do it” grin

I think you just started following US politics when Trump came around.
Any of the last 5 presidents have organized a coup to attempt to stop the certification of election results in order to hold on to power?

Any of the last 5 presidents have tried to smuggle in fake electors, not based in actual votes, into Congress to help him hold unto power unconstitutionally?

And any of the last 5 presidents called secretaries of states to help him find 11,780 votes to enable him win the state?

And any of the last 5 presidents failed to hand over officially to his successor?

And guess what, the funny thing is that at the end of the day Americans have a right to question elections. It’s protected by free speech. So this idea that CNN and other networks are putting in your head that elections are sacrosanct and must never be questioned is a lie.

There is no law that says anybody must accept or concede an election. You are free to question and challenge elections. At the end of the day the courts will decide just like it did in 2000 when Al Gore challenged bush’s election. All I don't like is this double standard that Republicans can’t do it but democrats can. That’s bullshit.

Yes you are free to challenge any election, even in "shit hole" countries like Nigeria, but storming Congress in a violent manner, threatening the VP and legislatures in an attempt to stop the winner from being declared is not one of them.

If you are dissatisfied with an election, you seek legal redress. If you fail, you accept you have lost and try again next time. That's the honourable path Al Gore took and certified Bush's election victory despite disagreeing with the outcome. Unless you are suggesting that Al Gore should have upturned the elections and declared himself winner.

Now you’re shifting the goalpost because you lost the initial argument. What we started with was that “republicans are dangerous for refusing to accept Biden as the legitimate president”. That’s what you or someone said that started this argument. I have proven to you that is bullshit and both sides are guilty of it now you have gone back to January 6th storming of the capitol which is what you people always fall back on

So to that I say this…

1. Yes, storming the capitol to disrupt official proceedings is a crime and all those who did it are being prosecuted. I believe about 900 people so far have been charged with crimes ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy.

2. You have no idea what a coup is and nobody charged so far has been charged with plotting a coup.. a crime which would fall under TREASON; which is punishable by death. So stop making allegations even the DOJ is not making. This is your CNN brain working again because that’s where the term is used a lot. Even the Jan 6th committee is yet to formally accuse Trump of inciting a coup. You are crazy man.

3. Trump calling the Secretary of State to look into the vote count is not a crime either. And he hasn’t been charged with it. Had he threatened the guy or tried to blackmail him to do so then you might have a case. You obviously are not a lawyer as you have no understanding as to what constitutes a crime and what constitutes free speech. The fake electors thing was discussed in a brainstorming session by Trump, his lawyers and republicans to study the legality of it but was never actually attempted. No fake electors where actually submitted. Now you are just lying or don’t have your facts right.

4. What are you even saying? Trump didn’t hand over power officially? Lol. Pls explain this. Because I vividly remember him leaving the Whitehouse at noon on January 20th 2020 as he was legally mandated to after all his election challenges failed in court. He even left the traditional (but not legally mandated) handover note on Joe Bidens desk.

Pls inform yourself before wading into such debates.

You guys are something else. You pick out one sentence or word out of the entire context and then blow it out of proportion.

Biden was asked to clarify what he meant by Trump and the MAGA movement as extremists" he explained that he wasn't referring to "any Trump supporter" (in particular) but added that "anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn violence when it's used, refuses to acknowledge an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which we rule and count votes, that is a threat to democracy". He even went on to add that " Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology."

You guys have been wailing since that Biden is insulting half the electorate. Are you guys serious? Can the Republican party as a whole (not even the MAGA faction) win the popular vote?
Neck buried deep in sand like an ostrich. President Biden still called out the MAGA Republicans yesterday on twitter and got over a 100,000 likes. Infact, almost 300,000 likes when the 3 tweets are added. His reason for cropping out Biden's full post was because he never thought posters would fact check. Biden never walked back his comment and never apologized too for calling them semi-fascist.

I don't know why you guys are so pained over being called Semi-fascist, when Trump himself had called Democrats Fascists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_2rJNqYqOA

Trump and his MAGA crowd claim to fame is spewing insults. Trump insults everyone not supporting him. He even insulted his fellow republicans and their families during the last presidential primary debates. He called Ted Cruz's wife ugly.

I believed Biden is still being too soft Trump on the MAGA crowd. Calling them Semi-fascist or extremists is too mild. I would term them fascist terrorists, with all the threats of starting a civil war because of Trump.

You sound like a Russian troll, putting up your Russian propaganda from your far-right websites.

Russian inflation is 15%, but as usual a fool like you who doesn't know his left from right will post anything he sees online.

Voltron doing his thing. what is the propaganda in what i posted? you guys are getting your ass whooped by Russia. Nothing i said is incorrect. go figure.

Russia is fighting a war so its inflation at 15% against all the stupid pointless sanctions did nothing. The UK is at 10% and they are not in war. go figure. they are not dealing with all the sanction Russia is facing but you guys in the EU cry more about what Russia is doing to you.

i am not supporting putin, I am angry with the Idiots handling things in the US and EU. eu is falling and they russia gas they claim to be running are from is what they buy at a higher price. Mumu like you will not see such. Shame

---Federal judge orders appointment of special master to review seized Trump records---

In a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, a federal judge on Monday granted his request for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s own use of the records for investigative purposes.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorizes an outside expert to review the records taken during the Aug. 8 search and to weed out from the rest of the investigation any that might be protected by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. Some of those records may ultimately be returned to him, but the judge put off a ruling on that question.

You are a foolish man. What nothing did the sanctions do? Just touting nonsense from your far-right sources.

Russian GDP fell 4% last quarter and is set to tumble deeper and their inflation is at 15%. That is because of the sanctions. They are playing their last gambit now before their matter really cast.

Just open your mouth anti-sanctions cho cho cho, what is your alternative? What is even your point?

Worry about Umudike where prices are doubling every few months and keep your nose out of what democratic people do. You don't even know most of the material cause of inflation which has been spiking before the invasion. Go and check inflation after the end of the second world war and come back. This is what happens when economies open up after years of inactivity (Covid).

the sanction did nothing zoonga. only less than mumu will not realize this.

Fact, their currency has recovered
fact, EU is seeing massive energy crisis
fact, EU currency is falling
fact, EU is still pumping money into Russia indirectly

Russia fighting a WAR with the whole of Europe, Economic war and Physical war with Ukraine only see a fall of 4%

you must be a closed minded idiot not to see the IRony. The idiots running Europe whose boot you lick are destroying everything. When trump warned them what can happen because they are stupid like you they laughed at him.

The Russian puppet was asking them to stop buying Energy from the Enemy and look for other means so the Enemy does not drag them by the balls.

there is nothing good you support. It is like you fools are setting up the EU and Nato to fail.

Umudike is fine... this is the forum for me to discuss other stuff... don't tell me what i should worry about. if things like make e double 6 folds here.... I stand weller.

Puttin up stupid sanctions then still buy Russian oil which you sanctioned at a Higher price is stupid. The alternative are glaring. Dump wokeness and embrace truth, the truth they rejected when trump was speaking.

Will you shut your stinking mouth.

I asked you what are the alternatives at the time the war started. What do you Benalvino recommend they do? You seem to be suggesting they lie flat and let Russia do whatever they want. Nobody asked you about the mistakes Merkel made in the past, but what do you suggest they do going forward.

The sanctions are working, 4% is a big deal to a developed country. You may be used to grinding poverty and Umudike crawling backward at a rate of knots, but 4% is a big disaster to any developed county. And it's just getting started because those sanctions affect everything about how Russia produce goods down to whether their companies can even use Microsoft Office to run operations. For context, USA has not seen 4% YoY GDP decline since the 2nd world war, you open your stinking uneducated mouth to say 4% is nothing. Do you think this is Umudike where economic growth year to year is anything goes? A developed country lost 4% in just a quarter, something that is just revving up, and you opened your dirty mouth to say just 4%.

Keep chewing your Russian propaganda and showing your lack of education. For your info, I used £71 in gas last month and the gas company is owing me over £200 cos I pay a fixed amount a month and whatever is left is put toward my balance. Worry about how you will afford akara next month, not whether my bill is £70 or £140. Putin is really biting me over here, I wonder if I should burn these notes to stay warm. This is 2 years salary in Russia which I just brought out to pay two builders here for one weeks labour. Putin is really winning. Efulefu

What are the alternatives? go back to February when I was shouting that Sanctions are useless and will not stop Putin and that they should Weaponize Ukraine very well. Guess what, they didn't do that, they instead impose stupid sanctions that they themselves are breaking, and Russia whose army was a sitting Duck was not pounded by the Ukrainians as a result. When it was a bit too late and hard for Ukraine to repel the Ground gained by Russia, that's when they started talking about arming Ukraine.

I am not suggesting they Lie flat and let Russia move through. I am saying their ways to repel Russia are wrong. How stupid are you not to get this? you are seeing the result of what I have been saying from the start Abi? all the sanctions were a waste of time because the sanctions are nullified by those who put them. Get sense

The sanctions are not working. McDonald's, KFC, and many companies including Google and Microsoft have left the country yet the Energy sector is still giving them good cash. 4% is too small. Russia is not a developing country. they are even more advance than the UK. Their military is bigger than the UK.

Nothing is getting started, Keep your closed-mindedness aside and look at the big picture. you are indirectly buying Russian products for more. it was worse are Feb and March but things got better for them since then while things got bad for the EU. how can you not see this?

4% decline is nothing oga: since biden came Russia has been laughing all the way to the bank
Russia economic growth for[b] 2021 was $1,775.80B, a 19.32% increase[/b] from 2020.
Russia economic growth for 2020 was $1,488.32B, a 12.1% decline from 2019.
Russia economic growth for 2019 was $1,693.11B, a 2.16% increase from 2018.
Russia economic growth for 2018 was $1,657.33B, a 5.28% increase from 2017.

From the Bold above, they have had more decline without the thing stupid useless sanctions Biden and his Minions imposed on them. So again 4% is nothing as the figure above shows and this is a time of war. they should be hitting 30% if you guys are not pumping money to them.

You use 71 pounds for gas last month so? Hahahahaha look at this one. Do you use the bus more abi? who cares? what does that have to do the fact that electric bills are high? I use 4k a month for electricity. How about that? lmao, Bragging about riches again abi? I have a couple of dollars lying around here next to me. 2k dollars, should i burn it to stay warm? how much is it in Russian rubble? they come in every 2 weeks.

I don't want them to stand by and watch which is something they are doing now. I dislike Russia and china. What I can't stand is the woke approach these politicians are taking. even to send Weapons to Ukraine they are not ready.

Sanctions will not stop the bombs from falling on Ukraine. I said this at the beginning. I also said the sanctions are useless because you cannot sanction a country and still patronize it which they are still doing to date at a higher cost now.

It is stupid. The Orange man warned about this and ask them to prepare and they laughed.
The Orange man also tried to take on China to force jobs back to the EU and US but they call him Racists... you guys will Fund China till the point they will gain more allies then you will see the fruits of your labor.

Mumu, the point is they have had more - 12% they recently experienced without a war coupled with sanctions.... they are expected to even recover in 2023 2nd half.

They are not expected anything unless sanctions are lifted. 12% they experienced in 2020 is in keeping with a one off lifetime event of Covid. USA GDP.fell 30% in one quarter in 2020 but recovered by the end of the year. For context, the great depression lasted 10 years and only wiped 30% off GDP in 10 years. That's ten years of the biggest financial catastrophe in US history causing 30% decline, exactly the same as Covid did in one quarter. Keep thinking 4% is nothing, something USA has not seen over a full year since 1946. Your problem is you don't know anything about economics and expect Russia to collapse in few months like say na Abacha. Even Venezuela took 10 years and the Soviet Union took 40 years. Stick to what you know.

There is no crying in the EU than in Russia. All you are seeing is a free media that cares about the living standards of the 10% poorest in society. Russians have been living in squalor for years and nobody cares, just like Umudike where poverty is grinding and don't make noise like the Europeans. If Europeans suffer just 2% drop, it will be all over your front page news, to the point you that is struggling to soak garri twice a day will think they are struggling more than you. That is democracy, and that is freedom.

IMF trims Russian 2022 GDP growth forecast, slightly raises 2023 prediction
- Reuters

when you are so closed-minded, all rational thoughts disappear.

IMF did not predict any GDP recovery. They predicted 6% fall in 2022 and 3.5% in 2023. Is that not about 9.5% while they are predicting 3 and 2% growth for the rest of the world. So the rest of the world is predicted to be growing 5% in total over the 2 years while Russia is backsliding 10%, is that sanctions not working in your eye?

When you have already fallen, you are on a lower height and they still expect you to fall again rather than rebound which is what most countries do, you say they are predicted to recover. If you fall 5% every year, after just 10 years, you will have lost half of everything you had.

The temporary sacrifice would be painful but they would come out stronger. It would also help wean them off Russia's energy blackmail.

Leave that mumu. My gas bill was £71, my electric bill was £82. The company is owing me credit. Putin will soon kill me oh.

Like I said, Europe is a society oriented around headlines to protect the poorest in society. That's the beauty of democracy. Pesin wey NEPA never let am see light for one week will be crying more than the Europeans because of headlines.

I don't know of anyone worried about freezing this winter in Europe. It's only on Nairaland I read up such.

Talking about taking care of the poorest in the society. They said Europeans will suffer, but the same Europe is sending 5 billion euro or thereabout to Ukraine to help them with heating for winter and other economic stuffs.
