wirinet:No one is forcing anyone to stay with anyone hence the referendum!!! The referendum means they have a choice to either accept to be part of the US or reject it if the deal had gone through. Why do I have to spell these simple things out for you people? The referendum puts the power in the hands of the people to decide their own destiny. 9 Likes 1 Share |

wirinet:How am I supposed to respond to this childish tantrum? Everything we are saying here is hypothetical. The deal didn't happen did it. And if it did happen between Denmark and the US, the referendum would be an opportunity for Greenlanders to either accept or reject it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

wirinet:Again I will ask you to stop being petty. Mainland Denmark is not greenland is it? Whats the standard of living in greenland? Anways, There are many ways to ensure that the wish of the citizens of Greenland are respected on this matter, one of them being that the deal could be tied to a referendum by the Greenlanders. In which case, when the deal is done, the Greenlanders will have to vote to ratify it or vote to reject it . so I don't see the issue of citizenship being a problem if the deal had gone through. Neither you nor I can say which the Greenlanders will prefer so I think it will be better left to them to decide for themselves 5 Likes |

wirinet:Stop being petty, the people in those territories will become US citizens and I am sure they will love being US citizens better than being Danes. It would have been a win win situation for all involved if the deal had gone through 5 Likes 2 Shares |

GalaticHorde:You are starting to bring on a headache with your unbelievable ignorance in this matter. How does gerrymandering affect Mitch McConnell's statewide election? Is Mitch McConnell's election a statewide senatorial election or house congressional district election? How can you be arguing about something you are obviously so ignorant about? Even your fellow liberals in the house will be laughing at your total ignorance on this matter right now. Go and educate yourself on the difference between a statewide senatorial election and a house congressional district election and which of them Senator McConnell is standing for before you give us a headache here with your ignorant arguments. US Senate elections are statewide and not affected by Gerrymandering!!! Thankfully i can see you finally went to educate yourself on gerrymandering having no effect on the presidential elections except in Maine and Nebraska. The additional thing you need to know is that you can't even win the presidential election in any of those two states by gerrymandering!! Why? Because only one electoral college vote is allotted by congressional district in both these States, the rest of the electoral college votes actually go to the winner of the statewide elections in that state i.e Winner of either congressional districts in those States get one electoral college vote each while the winner of the state carries the rest of the electoral college votes. So in a nutshell, the highest any party can get if they try to gerrymander a presidential election in either of these states is one single electoral vote. And that one vote has never decided any elections in US history. As a matter of fact since Maine and Nebraska decided to adopt this system in 1972 and 1992 respectively, only once has that one single vote gone to a different candidate from the one that won the rest of the state's electoral votes. In Nebraska, it was 2008 when Obama won that one single vote while McCain carried the rest of the votes In Maine, it was in 2016 when Trump won that single vote while Hillary won the rest of the votes. So you are even scoring an own goal if you want to use Maine and Nebraska as an example of how the GOP are rigging the electoral college because the very first beneficiary of that split electoral votes system was Barack Obama!!! 13 Likes 7 Shares |

Galactichorde, I am not going to waste my time answering your all your posts one after another so I am going to respond to all with this one post 1. Gerrymandering does not affect presidential or statewide elections because the whole state votes for the candidates standing in a statewide elections. Every voter in the state from every county and congressional district votes and the votes are counted together. Gerrymandering affects house of reps and state Congress elections because only a portion of the state votes for the candidate so if you want your candidate to keep winning all you need to do is redraw the map of the specific district to contain the parts where more of your supporters reside and your party will have the upper hand in elections there. Both parties do this in the states they control so it's not an issue of one party or the other. 2. Mitch McConnell's election is a statewide election so gerrymandering has no effects on it as you claimed 3. I defended Trump's attempt to buy Greenland because he has absolutely every right to aspire for that if he wishes, he is not breaking any law or any precedent by doing that and I think it was a smart move on his part. At no point did I say I didn't defend Trump's right to buy Greenland like you lied in your post again. What I said I didn't defend was his diplomatic spat with the danish PM over the Greenland issue, I didn't defend it because I felt the spat was unnecessary 4. Stop fooling yourself, No Democrat candidate can beat Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

TheShopKeeper:And you believe that because Sandi bachom says so? As in the well known leftist nut Sandi bachom that even leftwing media refuse to touch with a long pole? You think if anything like what Sandi bachom said happened in court that the anti Trump media won't have reported it by now? Stop trying to defend fake news with more fake news. Get your news from trustworthy sources, not loons like Sandi bachom. The other thing is MSNBC and Lawrence O'Donnell himself admitted that they haven't verified any of this stories and their source has not seen any of the documents in question so stop trying hard to pretend they have any evidence on Trump. By their own admission, they have not seen any evidence so it's not about whether it's meant for public release or not. Even the reporter and MSNBC themselves did not say they are retracting because it's not meant for public release. He said in his own words because, "I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process". How much more clearer can he be? I don't know from where you are bringing the issue of whether it was supposed to be released to the public or not. Even the people involved didn't say anything about that 6 Likes |

basilico: Liberal politicians are busy flying all over the place in jets and riding expensive cars emitting carbon at an astonishing rate. I should think that if we truly had only 12 years to climate Armageddon, then these jokers would be doing every thing to reduce their carbon imprints. They won't do that but they will complain about cow farts and people eating burgers. And you are spot on about Obama the hypocrite purchasing a Beach front home. That's just a perfect demonstration of the hypocrisy of these jokers 8 Likes |

DaddyYeeboz:Lol, That's from 2 years ago, I've long stopped supporting IPOB because they have embraced methodologies I don't support. And you want to know what's pathetic? What you just did!! Very pathetic indeed. You will not drag me back to the mud with you. I made up my mind to not get involved in all the tribal insults throwing on nairaland anymore. If you really go through my posts, you will see that I am more than capable of holding my own on that score. I was a master at throwing tribal insults and a champion of tribal wars on nairaland but you know what happened? I grew up and became matured in my thinking. What you are today is what I was two years ago and I am not going to let you drag me back to that childishness. I've got more important things to do with my life than that |
