God also gives us incompetent rulers as a form of punishment. Scripture clearly says that God made the rulers of Samaria (Israel after the split from Judah) weak because of the idolatry at Bethel, to the point where there was constant political instability and murders of monarchs until the Assyrians took over. Scripture also clearly states that God abandoned Judah into the hands of the Babylonians because of their infidelity towards Him. God gives us the rulers we as a collective deserve; the ruling political class is a sad reflection of Bahamians as a whole.

Birdie like most Bahamian Christians you are comically ignorant of your faith. Christ Himself told Pontius Pilate that he would not have the power to crucify Him unless it were given to Him by above. Hitler purged his country of communists that would have loved to rape and kill nuns and other clergy like they did in Republican Spain, and signed the Concordat with the Vatican that remains in force to this day; Mussolini created the Lateran Treaty that brought peace between Italy and the Vatican, purged communism from Italy, and if the visions of Blessed Edvige Carboni are correct, is in Heaven today; Stalin for as evil as he was ended persecutions against the Orthodox until Khrushchev took over. History is full of examples of God using imperfect men to further his plans.

Tbh I haven't looked at what items are available for shipping to the Bahamas in months, but in prior experience I've noticed that a lot of items that are available for shipping to a US ZIP code were not available for shipping here. I will probably stick with using a courier until a greater selection becomes available and any kinks in the system get worked out.

I've ran business for a while and haven't had to pay bribes to get things done but I will say that having someone you know in a given department that you can call to get things pushed through is a very helpful asset. Who you know is just as important as what you know in this country. Connections are everything.

Allegedly Trunk has told Bibi to wrap up his expeditions before inauguration (which is believable). Expect the intensity of the war in Gaza and Lebanon to get turned up to 11 now that Gallant is gone and they most likely have a deadline to meet. Ukraine has no prospect of ever taking it's territories back outside of direct NATO intervention which will 100% trigger a massive Russian retaliation that leads to WWIII. Even if you gave the Ukrainian military the entire US arsenal they would be unable to win simply because they don't have the numbers to hold forever or even push (there are reports they are even starting to drag women off of the street). This war has come at a human capital cost for Russia (not as bad as what the West says though) but their economy is flourishing and they have been forced to clean out a lot of corruption that was present in their pre-22 military. Russia will not want to end the war now because time is on their side. Trump can easily force Ukraine to the negotiating table by withholding weapons but right now the Russians don't have a reason to negotiate, everything is going in their favour, so the big question is how can he force them to table. He has to have something really juicy to offer them.

Until it eventually gets extended to Bahamian companies.

Funny you can't disprove anything I say, the numbers speak for themselves. Your team got overwhelmingly rejected in the best result for a GOP candidate since the days of the Bushes. You literally even lost the popular vote, which nobody (not even myself) expected would happen. You people live in a delusional bubble.

Let me put this really simply so your orangutan brains could understand: literally nobody was on Harris's run. Why did she pull out of the running for the 2020 Dem nomination; because she had literally no support. If sloth is the cardinal sin of the GOP, then pride is the one of the Dems. Your team literally did the same exact shit as 2016 when you rigged the primaries for Clinton because you desperately need muh stronk wahmen President and are surprised when you get a 2016 (no, worse) result. If Cumula was such a strong candidate why couldn't she go through a primary like everyone else? Biden was no more cognitively deficient at the time he pulled out than he was when they started (or even in 2020). Oh thats right, because everyone in the Dem power structure knew she had literally zero chance of making it through them.

You have no idea who I am or what I stand for. Neither Trunk nor Cumula are shining beacons of moral integrity. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in the big picture at the end of the day which one goes in because they are both beholden to the same power structure. America is on a decline to turn into a third world nation, and Trunk will only delay that by a little bit while Cumula would have accelerated the collapse. People like Trunk and Cumula are just indicative of a greater societal problem in the United States, much like our politicians are indicative of the societal problems that we have here.

Too many people live in social media echo chambers separated from actual on the ground reality. The actual reality is that many people are suffering and at best are living paycheque to paycheque. The Biden admin could've cooked up all the fake job reports they wanted, that doesn't change the actual on the ground reality of what people are feeling on a day to day basis, which is why the results are what they are.

Bahamians are so hypocritical when it comes to American politics; nearly every commenter here will agree that Bahamian price controls are an archaic form of government interference into private commerce that belongs in the past century, but because the blue(TM) candidate wants to implement them that shit is golden. Cumula was out of her league with nonsensical economic ideas such as price controls, unrealized capital gains tax, and more. She would have been an absolute disaster for the United States, and we would've only benefited from an influx of expats seeking to get out like what happened with Biden. The fact that the Dems even put her up as a candidate showed that they treated this cycle as a wash and were just looking to get it over as quickly as possible. No one with an iota of economic or political knowledge ever took her seriously.
