mojeer678: Bros, the Attorney-General doesn't have the legal power to discipline any federal judge. In fact, the only ways a federal judge can lose his/her judgeship is via resignation, death, or impeachment by Congress. Yes, both the Seattle judge and the 3-judge panel of the 9th Circuit ignored 8 USC section 1175, but you never know whether the Supreme Court will take the statute into consideration in a potential emergency appeal of the 9th Circuit's decision. 2 Likes |

When I tell you all the clowns mouthing off about America here don't have a clue about the happenings in America people think I am denigrating them. The clowns only Google and watch Faux News and all of a sudden they will become American political analysts from their hellhole. Thanks for setting that Agbero straight. 2 Likes |

Van Jones: ‘Sometimes Liberals Are Too Knock-Kneed About Standing Up’ to Islamic Fundamentalism On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Messy Truth with Van Jones,” host Van Jones argued that “sometimes liberals are too knock-kneed” about standing up to Islamic fundamentalism. Jones said to his guest, HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher, “[Y]ou and I actually agree a lot on the need to be tough on these fundamentalists. And I think that sometimes liberals are too knock-kneed about standing up. And at the same time, I think even somebody who is very concerned about the bad part of Islam has to be excited about the good part of Islam.” The good part of Islam? Van Jones criticized Muslims, grab some popcorn. There's going to be some left on left violence soon 3 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter: The truth is that some folks are just bad losers who doesn't know how to cope with reality simply because they can't sieve a glimpse of the truth from a web of false reality using common-sense. That's the reasons such whining folks easily fall for the stupid illogical propaganda that Russia caused Trump to win the US elections by interfering with the elections, but when faced with the fact of how did Russia turned the elections in Trump's favour when their mother Hillary Clinton actually won the popular votes overwhelmingly with about 3 million votes? Guess what--they just stare into outer space as they can't answer that logical question. My brother, that's how you tell a mind that swims in diminutive propaganda and fake news. When faced with facts and logical reasoning, they simply do not have answers other than insults and name-calling. Another thing i have discovered, which is very sad and pathetic is that, while some of us blacks/Africans would easily play the racist card (since blacks suffered most from racism,) some blacks are even more racist than what they claim...call it the pot calling the kettle black...And is even more disgusting when some of them comes to a Nigerian forum and rain insults and vile names on the tribes and nature of others, under an arrogant sense of self glorification against their own folks. Very Pathetic. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Rumors have it New York is about to see a show down between the Kennedy and the Clinton family. Caroline Kennedy and Chelsea Clinton are likely contenders for Senator Kirsten Gilibrand's seat should she run for President in 2020. New York loves both families and the Clinton's have more political power and influence in New York plus Chelsea would be contending for her mother's old seat. Caroline's only problem is popularity, I think she can win if she convinces New York to pick her over Chelsea based on experience and not just the name but New York is a Clinton stronghold. New York hasn't been kind to the Kennedy's for backing Obama in 2008 over Hillary, the more reason why Caroline dropped her bid for Hillary's seat, she didn't get enough support. May the best woman win. 2 Likes |

Lucasbalo:I'm worried about next year. We have too many seats to defend in the Senate. 10 of those seats are not safe. All the anger against the GOP we see now may not reflect on Election Day when voters massively put them back in power and even vote out Democrats as they did in the last election. We have a big battle for next year, we need to keep the Senate balance we have now and win 4 seats from the GOP. If we fail to do that, 2019 will be a ugly year in Congress for us. 2 Likes |

ValerianSteel:I absolutely agree with you and not only on the Senate, the House is very important too. That's why the pressure on the Conman and the Congress must continue. One thing you have to understand about republicans is that they always overreach whenever they are in power. We just have to keep the momentum up and get our people to get out to vote. We have a worthless billionaire here in Illinois as a Governor ( Bruce Rauner) and most of the people that voted for him are having a case of buyers remorse. We have many Democrats waiting to take him on including Chris Kennedy, the son of RFK. It's going to be a very interesting governorship race in Illinois. The people of Land of Lincoln are salivating in the mouth to throw him out with his billions. My concern is getting our people to the poll. 1 Like |

Lucasbalo: Wrong @ the bolded! Racism is not just about colour alone, Mr Lucas....it goes way beyond the colour of a man's skin, which is less or more insignificant than the colour of his eyes; and that's the reason i don't easily fall for that card when played by some coloured-minded folks. Even here in Nigeria, racism thrives in the streets like a pregnant woman and that's why you see an Igbo man calling a Yoruba man Afonja and a Yoruba man hating the sight of an Igbo man. The Fulanis/Hausas dislike that the other parts of the country rule over them, simply because they feel they are superior and sees the other parts of the country as conquered regions. One tribe hating another and almost forbidden to get married to a certain other tribe. That's racism for you. Therefore, when some folks draws up the racist card as a sentiment to dismiss the reality and to undermine the truth and logical reasoning in a particular and prevailing socio-economic or political issue, using it as the sole and final basis of argument; is totally wrong, completely childish and extremely delusional. Such folks only portrays mendacious assertions under a web of twisted and warped beliefs. For instance, it is a fact that the United States have killed much people, destroyed and toppled the governmental machinery of many nations than any other nation you can think of presently and in time past; but it's equally a fact that the US have contributed immensely to the healthcare needs of many nations, particularly in Africa. Now, won't it be out-rightly stupid, unfair and unlearned to say that since the United States contributed to the healthcare needs of certain nations, it has no blood in its hands, or since the United States has brought much chaos to some parts of the world by virtue of its military interventionism, it has therefore never assisted some nations to resolve certain national issues like in healthcare? How would that feel or sound if such line of senseless and lob-sided postulations are put forward as the sole basics of final conclusions in a given case? Your guess, i believe, should be as good as mine. Thus, solely denouncing Le Pen as racist for calling out the lies of CNN, dismissing Trump as racist and Russian stooge for saying it as it is, or denouncing the Ukip party in Britain as a racist party fro craving complete national sovereignty; is complete blind-man's conclusion and lob-sided narrative--the current opposite results from the events that characterise the said cases in their respective domain is what actually defines the Reality as it pertains to what majority of people actually feels. The evidence is the reality and the reality never lies! Only the deluded minds do. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lucasbalo:I hope Illinois goes blue. The party is currently directionless, we have no leader fighting for democratic outreach. The DNC chair has been turned into the 2016 primary over again with Keith Ellison the Sander's backed choice taking on Perez the Clinton choice. It's been war with these two, nobody wants to concede to the other. At this point am more inclined to go with Mayor Peter Buttgeig. He doesn't have allegiance to either party leaders. He's been successful as a mayor in Indiana. We need to start strategizing now, hold town halls, outreaches, massive recruitment of democratic activists. We need to get the party in order, get the progressive far left working with the centrist moderate Democrats. If we have another Clinton vs Sanders war over Party Direction, the GOP will sit back and watch us burn all over again while they sweep the Senate and the House comfortably. 1 Like |

ValerianSteel:Presently we have the grassroots momentum and the bulk of our stronghold is in the millennials and minorities plus the labor unions. There's no need pandering to the centrist and donors, they failed us in the last election because we lost touch to our base and didn't motivate our core base to come out to vote. Electing Rep Keith Ellison will take us back to our progressive outlook and we can leverage on the current outrage of disgust for the new right wing policies of GOP. The town hall revolts should give anybody a outlook of what's to come. Even red state like Utah having a large scale of revolt should send signal to anyone. 1 Like |

Appleyard:Appleyard, you and your meaningless epilogue. Don't tell me anything about racism. If you love tribalism and Tribalist that's your cup of coffee but you trying to defend Marie Le Pen and her likes is frankly sickening. I grew up knowing what I know and you grew up in your neck of the wood. It's guys like you who don't have the kind of experience we had growing up that try to justify all the nonsense about racism. You are the same guy that told me racism doesn't bother you because as far as you are concerned racism is as far as East to West. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it but don't come here and teach me what I have lived. I wouldn't argue with you about politics in Nigeria and please cut that nonsense out about trying to defend the indefensible. Have you ever been to France or live in France to be regurgitating garbage being spouted out by a vile and bigoted Le Pen. Please for heaven's sake, you can kiss her rear all you want but don't lecture me about racism or anything American. Ain't no fool to toy with. As many times as I have been to Nigeria over the years, I wouldn't lecture you about what's good or better for you in Nigeria. Enough is Enough. |

schwarzkopf: Quit living in self glorification. You have travelled across continents but still don't understand how the world works, only shows that your mental dispositions are left way behind in your closets while on the road. O yes! A black man who have travelled across the globe should be able to know that there is no place like home though it never feels so homely. Whining about racial attacks and using same to denounce truth and reality in a given situation, shows how myopic and secluded you have been in the world you have created within the confines of your imaginations. Otherwise, gentlemen like you should have known that racism is alive like the stars and the moon in every human society, even among blacks. Come down to Nigeria here and i bet you will stop whining about racism, except you're one of those folks that believe racism is only linked to the colour of your skin. But i trust you know better. Yes! Racism is not something we enjoy, cruel to the soul, and totally inhuman. But my gripe with folks like you is when you deplore it as the sole basics of conclusion under a given argument. Marine Le Pen simply called out the lies of CNN, which is fact, but according to your logic, since she is racist on the one hand, she has No Right to tell the Truth on any issue, on the other hand; is that so? In other words, your logic presupposes that a man that is a fornicator shouldn't ever try to get married. Do such reasoning make any sense to you? You simply could have rebutted her claims against that of CNN regarding the Ukraine and Syria with counter facts to prove CNN was right and she was wrong, but all you could do was to play the racist card as the sole basics of your conclusion. Is that how liberals or Democrats are thought to rebut facts in issues? At times you guys can be very funny... Contrary to your myopic logic, No one is singing the praises of a racists. That's just garbage excuse. Thousands of blacks like you voted for Trump in the elections, does it mean they are racist too or singing the praise of a racist? Get over it, gringo, you can't have it your way all the time. Everyone can't have same ideological perceptions all the time, and that's why it's called a Democracy--government by the majority through an electoral process--as a result of differences in political and social orientation. Keep that up your sleeves! UKIP didn't even drive the brexit vote cos they are f**king minority but it was driven by the conservative party and well championed by Boris Johnson. Like Guy Verhofstadt rightly put it, you can't continue lampooning the E.U in your country but yet collecting allowances and benefits meant for E.U members, least I forget Le pen is embroidered in a scandal of late on misappropriation of 300,000 euros from the E.U. Did Ukip party's political ideology mirrored Brexit or Not? Answer that! Did such ideology contributed to the overall Brexit result--Yes or No? You claimed that the Ukip party is a racist party, then i asked you, and I'm asking you again, does it mean that the millions of Britons that voted for Brexit also racists? Please give a straight answer. I have relatives in London that voted for Brexit, but have never known them to be racists. Brother, your logic simply don't add up. I heard about the Le Pen scandal too, but does it have anything to do with the answers she gave to CNN regarding the Ukraine and Syria brouhaha? We both know it doesn't and that has been the centre of this whole argument. If only you could rebut facts with facts. Your fear mongering end of the stick is known for spreading lies and alternative facts to keep all the braindeads in your folds. Like how they lie about how all the NHS fund is funneled to the E.U, about how immigrants coming to steal there jobs when these low lifers won't even get decent education. How the other brain fart in the USA keep spewing lies like it's going out of fashion. Foreigners come into your country, grab education and making a better living for themselves while these lazy mofos without even common GED sit by the train stations to beg for squids. And these never do well have the guts to look me in the face and say I am taking there jobs. Fear mongering keh..Nay homie, you've lived too long on mainstream media diet of diabolic news to realise that thousands of supersonic and hypersonic gliders carrying various nuclear bombs from Russia are pointing to every US major cities, and vise-versa. You should be grateful to Donald Trump who rightly stated during the elections that "the Nuclear Bombs in Russia works," followed by his other statement that reads: "what a hell do we need war with Russia for...".... I guess the millions of Right-minded Americans who voted for him after these assertions are also fear mongering and brain-dead, lol? Sorry, buddy. This is just the primary reason why lots of informed folks like us here and beyond will continue to thank God that Your beloved warmongering and murderous puppet, Hillary, didn't win because by now, Satan 2 would be heading your way while the earth awaits the cockroaches to take over. But the cosmic said No, and Alois Irlmaier's prophecy rolled backward from fulfilment. Praise the Lord Oh my Soul Fools like you should leave the neck of your backwaters before yapping about issues way above anything your brain can decipher nor comprehend. Now run along loser and go scoop some more bullshit from breitbart. It was millions of fools like me in America that voted Trump to take back their sovereignty and values from the establishment, and also to give the world additional years to survive thermonuclear warfare. But it wasn't millions of fools like me in America that were zombified and brainwashed with fake news, fake polls, leaking debate questions, and massively lying from pillar to post. I would like to be called the first fool over and over again. [s]If you are not a diseased vomit from a halitosis infested mouth, why are the dregs of the society the champions of the right wing parties. Like the way Putin is funneling cash to the afd and front national of these world and the other loser in Hungary. Come of it, multi-cuturalism won't die. The iddiots feeling they gonna be minority in the coming decades and can't stomach the pain of the reverse of what they have been dishing to other people for eons. Guess what the minorities gat the birth rate according to the statistics and the GOP base will be in the minority. Then will we ask them why a known southern bigot should be the AG and the Hispanic folks will ask why their nation is used as the past time for insult by the man child.[/s] Oh, my God! Is this how Liberals or Democrats are thought to rebut facts in issues? I doubt. |
