Pepperpot – Dump Trump
OBAMA...faced an attack from Trump about his birthplace<strong></strong>
Lifestyle, News, PepperPot

Pepperpot – Dump Trump

A group of Jamaicans who are US citizens said they are definitely going to vote in the American presidential elections this November, just to register their vote against Donald Trump who is getting on everyone’s last nerve with his extreme views.

“Four more years”

This American election cycle is like no other. How many of you saw the Canadian Parliament almost to a man chanting “four more years” for President Barack Obama after he addressed their joint sitting this week? He seemed very moved by the whole thing. Of course, there is no four more years under the US constitution where a person can only serve two terms as president.

Hush money

The politician involved in the accident which claimed one fatality is said to have offered the victim’s family to take care of the child of the deceased until adulthood, in exchange for them not pressing charges. The family accepted on the basis that him being in prison does nothing for them beyond emotional satisfaction. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Girl stabs bully: should both be expelled?

Two high school girls got into a fracas. One girl who was being bullied by the other ended up stabbing the bully, according to school allegations. Both were expelled. Is it fair for the girl being bullied to be expelled? A real dilemma.

Question of the week

Is Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton trying to turn back the hands of time on ganja decriminalisation?

Chris Tufton<strong></strong>
