So now there will be American boots on the ground.
This plan stinks to high heavens.
Worst case scenario? A WW3 before inauguration?
Putin won't fall for this . He loves his neck more.

he Biden administration has lifted a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems, particularly F16 fighter jets and Patriot air defense systems, an official with direct knowledge of the plan told CNN.

Democrats plotting to remove Sotomayor from SCOTUS.
https://news.yahoo.com/news/dems-war-over-secret-scotus-150058869.html

The Democratic Party is secretly fighting over whether to try and force out Justice Sonia Sotomayor to avoid the specter of Donald Trump sending the U.S. Supreme Court further to the right

Clarence had hinted he might be retiring also?

Funny story.

A friend of mine was supposed to take her Citizenship test in a couple of weeks.
She's Nigerian and got a visa for work.
She was having a hard time with the questions (not sure why), so I was tutoring her on overarching concepts. Thought it would help her understand them better.
One day we were talking about civics and she told me she was a Trump supporter.
I've known this woman for 3 years, we hang regularly and was shocked. I get it, it's probably religion, but still either you're not keeping up with world affairs or you're comfortable with his character.
Anyhow, I quietly started ghosting her. Have zero tolerance for Trump Supporters.
She called a bunch of times before the election. Didn't pick up.
I finally spoke with her earlier this week the day before the election and told her she should study it herself in a kind way.
She called me about 5 times yesterday.
Finally picked and she was freaking out. She told me that a friend told her that Trump will probably change the naturalization test like he did last time and make it much harder for people to get citizenship. That she wanted to makes sure she passed the test this time. That I should help her.
I said, cool, let me call you later.
Ain't calling her.
I'm sure if she devotes her time she'll pass. And if she doesn't, oh well. Should have thought about that support for Trump.

Rich from the guy who says America is divided and blames conservatives for the divisions.

Budaatum. I know you cherish the term jury of his peers.

Trump has surpassed his 2020 vote tally of 74 million votes . Seventy Four million voters want Trump at the Whitehouse , not in some Orange suit. They loudly made their voices heard.

You think a 74m decision is subservient to 12 jurors from a heavily democratic jurisdiction?

Jackboot has already asked the judge to pause the proceedings...Fool will be the first to be interrogated . Conspiracy of rights at the minimum.

Timeline of Events Surrounding J6 D.C. National Guard Deployment Shows Politically Motivated Decisions

https://open.substack.com/pub/juliekelly/p/timeline-of-events-surrounding-j6?r=45sa6j&utm_medium=ios

By June 10, 2020 Gen. Milley had decided not to resign. “Fucck that shit,” he reportedly told his staff. “I’ll just fight him.” Milley assured his confidants that he would never openly defy the president—a move he considered illegal—but he was “determined to plant flags.” He told his staff, “If they want to court-martial me or put me in prison, have at it, but I will fight from the inside.” Milley saw himself as “tasked” with safeguarding “against Trump and his people” from potentially misusing the military, something he confided in a “trusted confidant” to ensure he remained true to this plan. “I have four tasks from now until the twentieth of January,” he affirmed, “and I’m going to accomplish my mission.”

Raumdeuter, I said Lake is gonna take this.

I remember when she almost derailed her campaign by embracing the pro-choice abortion BS under fair looking at how the democrats were amplifying the abortion crap nobody cares about except for LordReed. She quickly walked back, and here she was. She went from at least 10% behind her opponent in the polls to leading. Thanks to their debate, she stood firm on the abortion issues and nailed her opponent on the border issue.

The guy running the election in Maricopa Stephen Richer does not like her. Katie Hobbs was the SoS and she run the elections when running for governor. He has a lawsuit against Lake for defamation over the 2022 elections.
He's been active on X regarding the polls. Yesterday he deleted his account.
The McCain republicans don't like Kari Lake by the way .
I don't know whether she will win.. All the same Republicana have a Senate majority and if there was foul play, the new administration will definitely act on it.
Maricopa county is still counting. Says it will take up to two weeks.

I cannot find my actual post where I was angry at him for attacking DeSantis and Musk, but this is what I found.

It seems like he listened to me and did a lot better, not perfect but very focused and controlled behavior.


Overall Trump like any other person who made his money cleanly ( whether he was jumpstarted or not is not here) is famously bombastic loudmouthed.
He does go overboard at the wrong times.
At the core he basically wants a return to the good old Murica that the left has considerably destroyed.

Trump won this election not because of conditions on the ground but because propaganda and misinformation was allowed to spread on places like social media, where people like you lapped it up.

2004 - 121,069,054 votes cast
2008 - 129,446,839 votes cast
2012 - 126,849,299 votes cast
2016 - 128,838,342 votes cast
2020 - 155,507,476 votes cast👈
2024 - 142,995,077 votes cast so far


13 million voters less than 2020 . Where they went to? Despite media showing long lines claiming the turnout was the highest ever.
Kamala votes neared Obama and Hillary votes but Biden were through the roof and defying every statistic.


Next check bellweather counties. Every winner won a majority of bellweather states except 2020.

Bellweather counties are counties that almost always show who actually won the Presidential election.

OBAMA 2008
69,000,000 votes
Wins 873 Counties
Wins 18 of 19 Bellwether counties
Wins Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
Wins House seats
WINS ELECTION

TRUMP 2020
74,000,000 votes
Wins 2497 Counties
Wins 18 of 19 Bellwether counties
Wins Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
Wins House seats
LOSES ELECTION

BIDEN 2020
81,000,000 votes
Wins 477 Counties
*LOSES 11 of 19 Bellwether counties
LOSES Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
LOSES House seats
WINS ELECTION


* Some analysis say he lost 14 others 18


Another feature of the elections. Kamala Harris won in all states that don't have voter ID.

You enrolled in Nairaland University (the religious section) and learnt to use your brain.

Personally, that section is where everyone should start their Nairaland adventure.

I started there too before you had to recite the shahada to post on the subsection. I learnt that what's drummed into people from almost infancy is very hard to change.
I read tons of materials,watched hundreds of videos in my sojourn there.Then I found here when Obama was appeasing terrorists all around the world. My hatred of Obama is not out of jealousy it's because he allowed ISIS to grow by arming moderate jihadists who later joined ISIS . ISIS were genocidaires , they murdered Yazidis and enslaved their women. They wanted the same to the Kurds of Kobani,north west Syria and in Northern Iraq too.
Yes I started in the religious section too.

I was thinking about the how the electoral college actually does the opposite of what it was intended to do.

The Electoral College was created because the founders didn't trust the uneducated populace to make good decisions in electing leaders. So, they didn't trust a direct popular vote.

But what has effectively happened is that because of the compromises of how each state gets Electors (less Populous states getting more representation), the Electoral College has effectively given less educated people (Trump supporters) more representation and the ability to elect the President of the US.

Yeah
But it remains to be seen if DA Fanny Willis in Fulton county, GA would continue her case against Trump. I bet there will be a lot of pressure on her to “in the interest of peace and conciliation” discontinue the case.

Moreover, the other factor to consider is Judge Merchan’s sentencing of Trump later this month. I highly doubt he would sentence Trump to prison though.

What's wrong with you. Fani Willis.
Fani will have to withdraw. She brought the charges with coordination from the WH and sham J6 Committee. She should never have charged anyone without first doing her own investigation of the theft that took place in Georgia 2020. Her cases are cover up for the blatant fraud .
Tell me in 2024 how many votes were counted in Fulton vs in 2020. How Fani , Kemp and Raffensburger explain that? If there was fraud Trump had the right to call that SoS and tell him to investigate the fraud, a fraud investigation report Trump had on his hands when he made the call. Further Fani should not have used that recording. Was a conference call recorded secretly by Jordan Fuschs , while she was in Florida; which requires consent of all parties before recording a call.The call was leaked to the media and fortunately the audio file was recovered from the recycle bin after being deleted.Such was the crookedness of Georgia officials
Her cases were to protect the steal that illegally hoisted Joe to the WH.
She will have her day I hope before a jury.
Merchan. He will have to withdraw. He must be shitting in his pants right now.Plus that Soros sponsored Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

There has been suggestions that Biden and Clinton sabotaged Kamala.
Biden explicitly tied her in with all decisions and policies he took. On Afghanistan he stated she was the last person in the room with her when he made the call to giftTaliban with $80 billion of America weaponry and cash. A few days before elections he calls all Trump supporters garbage.
Bill Clinton not to be outdone said Trump economy was better just days before election and repeated it.

Hillary at one time was thought to be an apt replacement of Joe Biden. Joe was forced out by Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, George Clooney plus donors against his will, he endorsed Kamala while they wanted the DNC convention to elect... Maybe Hillary or Mitchell.

How about this MAGA dress Jill Biden wore to go vote on election day? Was it a fck you to Kamala puppeteers? .

Ijebos, don't take some things too seriously, you need to vent out at times. Think out of the box. We already know you are deficient , no need convincing us that you have some brains. You only have brawns.
