Very unserious set of people.

Pete Hegseth immediately denied before he knew others had already admitted it happened. As a former Fox News host that he is, you can tell he’s programmed to automatically lie.
He is a liar, just like CNN hosts and their Biden mental fitness lie they spread for 4 years until the presidential debate?

👍🏾 Cool

Although you can choose to wait for backstory but I don’t think anything is going be an acceptable excuse for why they chose that medium of communication when they have more secure options.
They could opt to use that if it's apparent that Biden orphans infest Pentagon and WH.
It's not rocket science. Or it was a trap to catch a leaker . Who knows, but it does seem weird how every media house is turning their guns on Mike Waltz ,his DUI & his tattoos, you included , yet it wasn't him who invited perennial anti Trumper Jerry Goldberg of the Atlantic to the chat.
Who owns the Atlantic? ,Billionaire activist Laurene Powell Jobs ex-wife of Steve Jobs. Who is a major democrat donor. She also owns Axios , another anti Trump outfit .
No coincidences at all .

Indivisible is a non profit that's reimbursing protesters to Tesla premises. It's among 4 others that Musk named as part of the group funding protests. Indivisible is funded mainly by George Soros.

It happens that the wife of Matthew Graves who led the prosecution of 1500 J6 protesters sits on the board of Indivisible.

A judge is ordering a J6;protester back to jail on April 2 despite the pardon. When he was raided FBI found him in possession of a firearm he wasn't supposed to own , stemming from a prior conviction on an unrelated matter..
Which means Hunter Biden can be indicted for any crime that wasn't explicitly stated. Democrats shooting themselves in the foot.

And the wife of Judge Boasberg. Founder & board member of MEADOW REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS, an ABORTION CLINIC in McLean, VA that opened in JUNE 2024.

These DC swap critters are all progressives

Musk epic troll. If DOGE wants to shutter a federal building they only need to park a Tesla outside.

Laura Loomer points out that Indivisible is mass deleting.

Are you waiting to see if the sensitive communication was taking place on a commercial messaging app or not? Because I think that has been established. And that’s what the whole problem is. Can we agree on a simple thing like the fact that classified information shouldn’t be exchanged via such media? If we can’t agree on that, what are we even talking about?
Of course I agree. This to me is not a random mistake. There is a backstory that's not been exposed .
That's my opinion , I may be wrong

They are Trump‘s DEI picks = dumb entitled/erratic incompetent

But Hillary’s emails cheesy
Hillary's emails were a scandal that was buried by Obama. For 4 years she never used state. gov to transact official business .In one email she is on record telling her aide either Huma Abedin ( wife of Alex Soros) or Cheryl Mills to print out a classified doc from state.gov and send it to her via fax or email to her home. Cheryl Mills was her attorney in the FBI investigation of her emails.Get that.Her lawyer is the one who also broke the laws with her full knowledge.
Worse most people who secured an appointment with her as Secretary of State donated to Clinton Foundation.

On the chat were the
The Director of the CIA
The Director of National Intelligence
The Secretary of Defense,
The Secretary of State
and the Vice President of the United States.

None of them knew how they were supposed to handle classified info.
And this doesn't seem to be the first time.
Residual Alcohol blah blah .

Goldberg published a piece detailing how he was added to the 18-person chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal earlier this month by an account sharing the name of White House national security adviser Mike Waltz.

You are accusing Hegseth of being drunk, yet it's not him who added Jerry Goldberg to the group.

the point is not if someone intentionally added the journalist so that there will be a leak. the point is that they should know better than to have such sensitive communication using a messaging app. Even if such app promises them privacy. It’s not guaranteed. That’s why there have always been proper channels in place for these kinds of information.

You’d think a whole defense secretary would know that.
This is who was picked in place of a four star general? It’s a shame
Just my hunch. Every media house is calling out Hegseth. He had earlier said he is using polygraphs to root out leakers.
On another media , I saw it's Mike Waltz who added him. If that's the case then why you saying it's Hegseth + DUI which is the current talking point by democrats.
As I said , it will unravel soon I'm quite sure there is a story behind it.

The reporter who got it at first thought it was fake because it was too crazy to be real.
I believe it was sabotage Trump admin is facing onslaught from judges . Any case before these judges will be thrown out. Why would he publish them without first seeking to find out if those were real people. It was a leak to the media, deliberate and in a few days I predict the story will take a new twist.
He is a journalist . He is well aware that he can't publish child porn photos found on Hunter Bidens laptop for instance . But he can publush classified info without consulting people whose phone numbers he most likely has ?

The more you talk, the more your story unravels.

First it was a 3 year gap, now it's 2.
And first she was 18 when you knocked her up, now it's 19.
You gave the age range because of course people would wonder when you met her to get her pregnant by 18.
And now you trying to change the age gap to make it more palatable.

So first it was 18 when she got pregnant and you had a 3 year gap.
Now, she was 19 and it was a 2 year gap.
Given how much you lie, I assume both of those are lies to obfuscate the fact that she was much younger than that and the age gap is greater.

If you use the original 18 years old when she was pregnant with a 3 year gap.
It means you probably met her at 16 or 17.
So if it was 16, you were 19 and out of Secondary School.
Imagine dating a 16yo at 19.
So, you literally rolled up to a SS with lollipops to pick up women.
No matter how much you shine it up, you're a creeper.
Many girls are raising their children without the father.

Like I said, perception.

But the facts are showing us our perceptions are wrong. So instead of digging in our heels and keep lying to ourselves that religious leaders are safer than any other group of people, we should apply the same precautions we would around others to them.

So if you wanna be vocal about kids being in danger around industry folks or rainbow people or “leftists”, keep the same energy with right wing religious leaders. Otherwise it all falls apart as hypocritical under the tiniest scrutiny .
I'm still on this Asking AI Grok shows that most if the analysis between democrats and Republicans are mainly by democrat leaning sources like guardian or Reddit..

I'll continue digging for more conclusive data, I don't believe more religious people (xtians) have been caught abusing children than the secular.
It's simply not possible and the maths don't add up

The reason the conservatives and the religious people make the news is that the hypocrisy of not practicing what they preach. How many people are shocked when a drug head rock star or a rapper is the one involved?

In Nigeria for instance which one will make the news, A priest/ Imam sexual crimes or A yahoo boy/ Area boy sexual crimes
Yeah , actually had not thought that way . A supposedly holy person being caught will likely gain more attention
At high school there was a student who was gay, was caught in the act . He was luring other boys with words , gifts and whatever mostly fresh students. Many years later, I personally saw him in a medical school training as a nurse I still cringe at the thought of him being a care giver. He had said he was of course abused as a kid ,the shower rooms were quite hard for him , he could never get attracted to girls.
Such cases are bound to get plenty of publicity and attention. The hypocrisy. A famous media person.

Basilico I tried my best to summarize but you can search each of those names and read extensively about their individual cases and what sentences they’re currently serving or have served.

There’s no reality in which this many drag queens or LGBTQ people would be sexually assaulting children to this degree that you people wouldn’t have marched in the streets with pitch forks.

But you look the other way when it’s a man of God. I’m sick of it.
Thank you. That is no reason to abandon going to church though. What comes from the mouth of the preacher is supposed to the holy spirit speaking through the servant.
As long as I don't know their personal lives, I'll listen to a preacher . I'm not preaching to you idon't get me wrong.
As I pointed out many of the sick perverts hide in churches.
At the same time there is more exposure of them by the left. This has obviously resulted in declining numbers of church goers. Don't forget that the left has a near monopoly of media, the clergy cases are amplified in comparison to the other faith.
Let me dig up my own data , I'll leave this open.

Trump talks to Putin. Putin agrees not to attack energy infrastructure and sends orders to his generals to comply.
Zelensky is also for the idea. He then orders the gas metering station in Kursk to be bombed . It's the only metering station for Russian pipeline to Europe through Ukraine .
Next Zelensky says he wants more money from America and that Putin should hand over territory captured from 2014.

Zelensky wants a forever war simple.

This is BS and you know it. The only reason the right wing ones make news is because of the apparent hypocrisy of claiming to worship God while engaging in such despicable things

The fact is that perversion doesn't know any political party

If we are to stick to real facts, Didn't we see Democrats and Liberals go in uproar about a legislation that says "You cannot teach children about sexuality with parental approval"?
Didn't Liberals throw a fit nationwide about not putting sexually explicit contents in children schools
Didn't we see liberals hosting drag shows for children where they expose themselves to children?

Where do children get taken advantage of more than in the entertainment industry? And who controls the entertainment industry from Disney to The Harvey Weinstein, The R Kelly, The PDiddy, the numerous rock musicians

There are more people taking advantage of minors in the entertainment industry than any church can ever do
I totally agree with you.

I grew up very religious (still a believer) but can see the first for the trees after so many years of propaganda.

They will hide and transfer a priest/pastor who sexually abuses children before they will soil the name of the church.

And then they come to church on Sunday and tell you this right wing party is on the side of Christians. If you’re interested in messing with children, tell me which side you’d rather support? They feel safe amongst the Republicans.

The women won’t protect the children from sexual predators among them. They are either too afraid of stepping out their role as submissive partners or they outrightly believe it’s male nature and that the children or their parents have the sole responsibility of ensuring they don’t get abused.

Then they try to get ahead of it by spreading stories about how drag queens are a danger to kids when the danger lives and flourishes amongst them.
I'm not sure whether you intentionally gaslight because you actually argue that white colour is really black , naming is just a convention.
Logically, who is most likely a paedophile . Someone pushing to ban abortion or someone pushing to enshrine it and make it so easily available even without parental consent.
Guessing you have around a 7 - 10 year old kid you'd be more worried if kid goes to a bible study than to a drag show.

I am sorry to let you know that your submission has no relevance in the face of facts. Even your beloved Fox News can’t hide this known fact.

You guys think that because you disagree with the lifestyles of other people, you can disparage them with propaganda.

There will be child abusers on either side of aisle. But statistically they’ll gravitate towards the right because the right protects them when they are exposed.

The left will usually not give such people any platforms. But That’s not the case in your party. You’re willing to overlook anything no matter how horrendous as long as the said person is willing to move the party agenda forward.

The list is endless. If I were to quote you with every single article where a religiously leader was credibly found guilty of child sex crimes, we would never leave here.

I don’t even talk about the Muslims because theirs is out in the open with child marriages.
Nothing pleases the left more than when a supposedly religious person is indicted of sex crimes.
Repeat. They accuse others of doing exactly what they do
I'll give an example. They counted tens of thousands of lies by Trump.With Joe ,they never accused him of lying not even once.Not once and we all know their lies about him were as visible as forest fires .

The Venn diagram of people who believe old men are justified in having sexual desire for children because mature women over 25 years old are washed out and “overused”, that conservative values such as man on top woman at the bottom should be the norm, that anything outside of strict gender roles is of the devil but child abuse is tolerable etc is usually a circle.

Occasionally there may be outliers (obviously) but far and away they will often gravitate towards the Republican side. It’s observable time and time again. That’s why they are anti-education for the poor masses. Education teaches you empathy because you learn about communities that you have been brainwashed to dislike and you are able to see everyone as people who are just walking a different path than you.

Think of it as almajiri system in the north and the whole western education is haram rhetoric but the American version. Two sides of the same coin.
We can go back and forth but religious people are least likely to be criminals. The west was built on Judeo Christianity values but still a patriarchal system.
Leftists are more likely to be paedophiles has been my submission for many years.
Whatever they accuse you of doing is exactly what they do, that has been established countless times here.

Right. And then it can be run in the same pattern as the northerners in Nigeria run their almajiri schools. No standardized curriculum. Gather the kids and teach them some religious leaders’ opinions as the fact of life. Remove anything from the curriculum that doesn’t support religious beliefs.

Revise history and teach them only the parts that conform to white nationalist ideals.
Like they are currently telling kids that slaves were paid and many enjoyed being brought from Africa to a civilized country.

There's reportedly even a form protest leaders can fill out to receive "reimbursement" payments for their protests.

Over the next few days you’re going to see an organized progressional protest effort at Tesla stores put together by a group called Indivisible.

George Soros foundation has given Indivisible nearly $8 million dollars for their "activism".

Poor kids in poor neighborhoods will now be punished more than they already are because they chose the wrong parents I guess.

College will now be for the rich. Which I guess is the plan all along. Less educated masses means more votes for republicans.

This is greatness in its purest form. Leave the physically and mentally disabled children out of federal funding. Who cares about them? When we can just focus on healthy kids from rich families and make sure they get vouchers to go private Christian schools where they will be taught the 10 commandments and that vaccines are a mark of the beast.

A whole fvcking shame.
Governors want education back to the states. As to what I've heard there will be more money available . Lesa overheads .
Governors and locals are better at identifying what's good for their states than a bureaucracy run by rich men north of Richmond.
