Real chance of another Civil war. All empires collapse sooner or later, and it looks as though the United States one will from within. Biden never said he would not accept the result the only thing said was that he should not concede before all the votes are counted Trump, on the other hand, said the only legitimate result is him winning Trump will lean HARD into the Red Mirage (Red Mirage is the map looking like a Rethug blowout at first due to massive amount of Dem votes not being counted as they mostly will vote non-same day, and Repugs will be the opposite) and claim the Blue Shift is illegitimate (Blue Shift is the inevitable massive Democratic vote totals going up and up as mail-in ballots are counted) he will try and stop all further counting (ultimately banking on the SCOTUS to end it illegally, that why he is so desperate to get his catholic death cult ultra crazed RW'er whore on the Court before the election), and will try and have Rethug state legislatures send in a separate set of electors if he loses a state where the Rethugs control the state legislature robsblubot, manpe, 11Drogba and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 For those not aware, there have been major protests in Nigeria calling for the abolition of a controversial police unit called SARS, short for the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. It was formed back in the 80s to tackle armed robbery in urban areas targeting banks and convoys... However in recent years it has devolved into a rogue unit that extorts innocent civilians on the road, and it has been linked with many extra-judicial detentions and killings. They specifically target young people based on spurious reasons (hairstyle, dress, car being driven), wrongly labeling many as fraudsters. So in recent days there have been numerous peaceful protests across different cities in Nigeria calling for their abolishment, at levels not seen since the early 90s. The government have a strangle hold on the major TV stations so they initially refused to cover the protests, hence the youths have deliberately paralyzed several choke points in different states in the country, in order to force attention to the issue. In addition, the youth led protests have been given attention by Afrobeats musicians and celebrities who now have more of a following outside the country. The government initially acquiesced to the demands by declaring the end of the unit, but then created another unit called "SWAT". There are concerns that such declarations are just changing the name of "SARS" to "SWAT". As of today, the protests continue within and outside the country. Very interesting to see whether the protests evolve to a more strategic wield of power by the youth against many of the issues plaguing Nigeria, or they fizzle out. Hoping for the former. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/13/africa/nigeria-police-sars-victims-intl/index.html Vesper, Fulham Broadway, 11Drogba and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People subject themselves to religious primitivity instead of common sense. A poor Christian man will give birth to six children, a poor Muslim man will marry 4 wives and give birth to 20 children and that means definitely the children will be sent to beg on the streets. It is inevitable that the country will explode when the population gets saturated. The natural Resources cant go round everyone.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The irony of Donny "mobster" Trump accusing anyone of being a criminal... I mean, the guy who tampered with a witness via twitter! "To be sure, Trump's upbringing in Queens, where the Mafia was ubiquitous, helped form his wiseguy persona." https://www.newsweek.com/2019/01/18/donald-trump-mafia-connections-decades-later-linked-mob-1285771.html doesn't that explain a lot? "I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” Now if almost half the population is that stupid, I'm not sure we deserve anything better. I mean how how many times can you listen to an anti-masker talk about how masks are not "effective" for me me me... I feel for the rest of the world, I really do, but Trump remaining in power will just accelerate the inevitable... the irony of it all is that when the USA experiment finally fails, the rightwing supporters will end up in all the wrong places (countries) - at which point they may finally understand where all that money actually came from.

Donald Trump thinks Ivanka is 'hot' and would 'date her if she wasn't my daughter https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/donald-trump-thinks-ivanka-hot-22781403 Back in 2003, when Ivanka was just 22, Trump appeared on the Howard Stern Show, where he described her as "one of the great beauties of the world". So far, so good. But then Trump went on to say "my daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body" before bragging about how much money she'd made from modelling. The following year, in a New York magazine interview, Trump went further. He said: "Ivanka is a great, great beauty. Every guy in the country wants to go out with my daughter. But she’s got a boyfriend." And things went from bad to worse when Trump, once again on the Howard Stern Show, agreed that his daughter was "a piece of ass". Two years later, while promoting their new series of The Apprentice, Donald and Ivanka appeared on talk show, The View - and things got really weird. Trump was asked how he would have felt in Ivanka had posed in Playboy during her modelling days. He replied: "It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what's inside the magazine. "I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." “Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?” In an interview with CBS News, Ivanka admitted she found claims made in a New York Times article that Trump had asked people if they thought she was "hot" "pretty disturbing".

Vesper 30,235 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Pat Robertson: Trump will be reelected — and then the End Times will begin https://deadstate.org/pat-robertson-trump-will-be-reelected-and-then-the-end-times-will-begin/ Speaking on his 700 Club TV show this Tuesday, evangelist Pat Robertson had some bittersweet news for supporters of President Trump. Robertson says God told him Trump will be reelected, but the End Times will start soon thereafter. The veteran Christian evangelist said that Trump is going to win “without question,” but after he’s is sworn in, “trouble is going to happen.” According to Robertson, Trump will face challenges from the Chinese, a nuclear-armed North Korea, the Russians — “after Trump is sworn in, we’re going to see civic disobedience in America that will just be mind-boggling.” He then cited more than one passage from the Bible to back up his assertions about future world events. Robertson said that after these tribulations, there will be a “great spiritual revival” all over the world, proceeded by a period of peace — and then possibly an asteroid hitting the earth, bringing about the End Times. That’s a hell of an endorsement for Trump. Watch the video below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
