Your consternation is easily explicable.

Janneh, sans the bogus titles, was a hustler in a rag tag military organization.

Then he pulled a coup, which made him a criminal, if the captured slaves of the occupied soupist territory of the Gambia had been regimented by the forces of legality.

That made him a soupist. No problem here: if Christ were to become a politician in zone bullcrap, West Africa, a soupist he will be.

Dude, your post will be deleted: you can take THAT to the bank of soupism.

If you tink say ya na longstep, then you are more dense than I first thought; and, talking about stupidity, boneheadedness: dude, get a grip, will you?

I reiterate: the Gambia is not a nation; rather, it is a captured soupist territory. Your resort to profanity, longstep style, ain't 'gon change that positing, which I deem, under my theoretical horizon, as a FACT.

But, one may disagree with any projection in the realm of politics that I posit as a fact or, should… [Read Full Text]
