Botragelad:. It is established fact that Russian troops evacuated Bucha on March 30. Ukrainian National Police began entering Bucha on March 31, and that same day the mayor of Bucha announced that the town was fully under the control of Ukrainian officials. At no time was there any suggestion by the mayor or any other Ukrainian official of mass killings undertaken by Russia. The videotape in question was released by Ukrainian authorities on April 2; it is not certain if the video had been taken earlier, or on that day. What is certain is that the images shown in the video differed sharply from the narrative initially portrayed by the mayor. Those are the facts . There is doubt the Russians withdraw, leave bodies on the streets . The mayor on March 31 mentions no bodies ,4 days later bodies in the streets that supposedly had been there for weeks .What's the status of a Bosh after 2 weeks? (I'll cite another case. 8000 civilians were killed by Serbs at Srebenice. They jailed people , and never found 8000 bodies The media and ICC repeat that as a fact. Where were the bodies. ) ignore this. I'll respond later to the rest of your one sided narratives . I don't support Putin I have said . The mayor of Bucha , April 2 saying Ukraine had retaken full control . Did he mention any bodies that showed up 2 days later? Be my guest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoi92LN9X2M |

Elon Musk and the DOGE team held an interview with Bret Baier. Transcript here for those Tesla haters. https://singjupost.com/transcript-of-elon-musk-doge-teams-interview-by-bret-baier-of-fox-news/?singlepage=1 Govt paid $850 million for a surveymonkey interview about National Parks No details of what happened after the survey. 40% of calls to Social Security are fraudsters wanting to change details of where checks should go to. Databases of different agencies are not updated and don't reference each other. Retirement process unchanged from the 1950s manilla files, manual and time consuming..Storage area has millions of paper. Y'all should stop the hate once you read this or watch the interview. Those who really oppose DOGE, the loudest mouths have relatives feeding from the chaos in the federal govt systems. |

bemeruca:He asked a valid question. How many Russians should die before Putin pulls out? Russia started out the invasion with 200,000 some men amassed at the border. Now they have North Koreans at the front. Is anyone talking about Putin's slaughter of his own people? |

bemeruca:The UK and maybe the whole of Europe except for a few of them like Hungary and Poland, have submitted to wokeism, globalisation, DEI, LGBTQ+ and then the most deadly bit, unchecked immigration from areas and people who hate them and will like to replace and subjugate them in their ancestral lands. The strange bit in all these for me is how they are the ones inflicting these horrors on themselves. Muslim extremist infiltration is another kettle of fish. So, Trump wisely, and this is my views, set in motion some actions that will probably make them have a rethink, smell the coffee and appreciate reality. Hopefully all the actions taken or about to be taken by Trump will make them have a brain reset. |

nateevs:Putin don't care. Ukraine have killed many of them and they are still sending men. And another leader Kim who does not care as well is sending men to help Russia. So if Russia has the man power, The equipment And is willing to throw men in the meat grinder, how would Ukraine survive? It will take time but if the EU does not do more they are wasting their time and the lives of fallen Ukrainian men. Put boots on the ground, send adequate equipment then talk to the US for support. When the battle lines starts to retreat it will force Putin to the table. I don't think trump can talk Putin into end the war any power. So he has to help the EU insert force on Russia that will bring them to the table. He does not have to as well since the EU are spoilt brats that thinks the US only problem in this world is to deal with their problem. How many years since the alliance was formed, NATO aside from the US is incapable of stopping and defending ships against Houthis in the red sea. They are just there. France is building warships for countries like Russia but how many do they have, what about their neighbours? Even the Iranian native is bigger than the whole NATO minus France and UK and Sweden. So what is NATO countries doing? They are using money for defence to brag about their welfare programs while laugh at the US that put 4% of its GDP into defence whereas aside from Poland, almost all other NATO countries don't reach their 2% gdp especially Spain. The whole Ukraine thing has been a game of chicken. The US has spent more on UK than other NATO countries and they are 7k miles away. They have waited so long thinking the US will he the country to send its men to die for Ukraine and since they are not seeing that France and UK are now talking about putting men on the battlefield. Something that should have been the case for a long time now. But one still has to ask: what about other NATO states? |

basilico:Why are you selective picking?. Are you saying because Russia withdrew on March 30, then Ukrainian entry on March 31, bodies "suddenly" appearing by April 2 mean the whole thing is a lie? Again,got any evidence to back that up? Stop running away from my questions. The absence of mention from the mayor at one point does not automatically remove the evidence documented after. Tell us how it is possible that local officials, in the middle of securing a town freshly liberated from occupation, should have immediately conducted door to door forensic investigations while avoiding potential booby traps? What’s the status of a corpse after two weeks?”. Coming from you? If you're curious about that, maybe you should pick a book or observe how corpses behave under different conditions. In winter temperatures, which Kyiv experienced during much of the conflict, decomposition slows. This isn’t quantum physics, it’s common sense. Or do you expect corpses to spontaneously combust if left unattended for more than a fortnight? https://africa.businessinsider.com/politics/a-detailed-timeline-undermining-russias-claim-that-the-massacre-in-bucha-was-a/vq8cxns You bring up the thousands of victims of genocide but don't tell us that the bodies were systematically buried in mass graves and later exhumed across multiple sites over years. If anything, the efforts to conceal those atrocities tells us about Russia's own attempts to erase evidence in Bucha, only less successfully. But, does that mean all war crimes must come with neatly packaged body counts and confessions before they can be acknowledged?🤷🏼 What does that even have to do with this conversation? Funny of you to dismiss credible reporting while simultaneously citing Kremlin aligned narratives as truth. Haha What's your obsession with the mayor speech on March 31!! Every tragedy do not require immediate public declaration to be valid. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, did authorities provide a full explanation,etc of destroyed homes and casualties within 48 hours? Of course not. Again, why would Ukraine stage such disgusting act, risking international credibility, when satellite imagery clearly shows signs of executions and mass graves prior to their forces entering Bucha? Say something reasonable this time around. |

Wow. The CFPB in October 2023 threatened banks not to discriminate any lender on the basis of immigration status. An action guided by Merlick Garland DOJ. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-and-justice-department-issue-joint-statement-cautioning-that-financial-institutions-may-not-use-immigration-status-to-illegally-discriminate-against-credit-applicants/ As of now Obama judge Amy Berman has blocked the dismantling of CFPB. https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1905719113865191684 These judges I'm positive some have committed prosecutable crimes and are being so anti Trump in order to cry victimization when they are charged. Take Comey. He was investigating Trump on accusations he knew were false and creations of Hillary, when he was fired McCabe opened an investigation into Trump. Later Mueller implied Comey firing could have been an obstruction of justice As if Comey is FBI. |

basilico:So the thing is these guys have money to dole out to freeloaders from Islamic countries. They have time, energy and resources to house illegal immigrants, rapists, bullies, thugs, radicals etc - in Europe and the UK. Ok? Now, Trump is like, this is crazy! You guys spend a large portion of your GDP working to “replace” yourselves in your own lands and you you want the US to bail you out any time there’s security related issues ? No way! You have to pay your fair share! Now I read the other day that Two Tier Keir is about to reduce the money doled out for benefits in the UK. In the US, Trump already issued an EO that on no account should any immigrant - legal or illegal be housed in the US using Tax payer money! Now isn’t that common sense and refreshing to read ? |

Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is facing scrutiny over his handling of details of a military strike, brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. One of the meetings, a high-level discussion at the Pentagon on March 6 between Hegseth and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, took place at a sensitive moment for the trans-Atlantic alliance, one day after the U.S. said it had cut off military intelligence sharing with Ukraine. The group that met at the Pentagon, which included Adm. Tony Radakin, the head of the U.K.’s armed forces, discussed the U.S. rationale behind that decision, as well as future military collaboration between the two allies, according to people familiar with the meeting. https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-brought-his-wife-to-sensitive-meetings-with-foreign-military-officials-c16db0ea?mod=hp_lead_pos1 |

basilico:Imagine waking up every morning and looking up information about a foreign country you've never been to and getting enraged about things you barely understand and have never experienced all while the country you do live in is struggling economically and politically. Sounds insane right? I think there is someone you know who made it to the US, that you are jealous of and thus want to fail. So you want all immigrants in the US to fail so that person can fail. |

bemeruca:Your struggles with the English Language are evident again. This is the title Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials You see the word sensitive there. It is an adjective which modifies meetings. It means meetings where Secret/Top Secret or classified information were discussed. Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials is not Hegseth Brought His Wife to Meetings With Foreign Military Officials One is illegal the other is not. like I drove my Car today is not I drove my Car Drunk today I'm trying to be more fluent in French and then start on Spanish this year. Maybe you should try trying to be more fluent in English this year. |

How did you continue engaging that post after reading the ABC news link that was posted as overwhelming evidence? Incase you skimmed through it, please read it again and confirm for yourself if any one here would believe that story the way it is, if the same claims were made by Russia. Lavrov asked the UN and it has been 2 years + since then but nobody responded. - What are the names of the deceased? - How did they die? - When did they die? - What was the motivation for the killings? - How did NATO sweep through Bucha by April 2nd and not report any massacres, bodies or killings but then report same the very next day? - How come Ukrainian National Police said they chased out saboteurs and Russian accomplices but never reported the massacres? - How do we now have videos of Ukrainian forces pulling bodies into position if those were done by Russia? - How do we have some dead bodies moving hands like the same crisis actors did during COVID? - Who watched the Video of Ursula supposedly observing the massacre site? She is the poorest actress in the world - far worse than Gal Gadot. All these, people ignored to conclude Bucha was massacred so they will hold on to the same daft narrative that Zelensky was allowed to back out of a ceasefire. Take the new position I've settled for this time around. Just post your truth and ignore stupid rebuttals until the same media they still believe in will have to spell out the truth. I always enjoy all the unlooking they have to do. I saw people post about Bill Maher the other day but nobody brought up the Fauci conversations that were had in that particular episode. Nobody is quoting the same NYT article about all the lies of Fauci and Collins concerning COVID-19. The same NYT they were so quick to quote in 20-21 especially. Some Ijiot was mentioning me and I ignored b/c why feed a miserable troll? I'm surprised he didn't come back to post when Tim Waltz walked back his Tesla rants shortly after he realized MN pensioners have 1.6m Tesla stock. I could go on and on. basilico:

I've noticed most of you are just the same pseudo-intellects. You only turn on when the party being scrutinized is against your side of the divide. - Supported terrorist rally =/= terrorism - Wrote an op-ed =/= terrorism The stupid labels you argue with were created by your media: pro-palestine, pro-Israel and so on. You're not antisemitic because you don't support genocide of women and children by Israel. You're not pro-palestine for speaking up against atrocities caused by Israel in Gaza or the middle east. Vet your stories as your guzzle it. Ask yourselves what-if questions as you peruse your news asking the right posers as you go. Who is a terrorist? What is a terrorist? What judicial procedures should be followed prior to deportations? The same evil you condone today will be used against you tomorrow. I can go through all the Andrew Tate nonsense. Marco Rubio lies. Mike Waltz being a Deepstate hack that is clearly a mole in Trump's camp. You guys see this and play Ostrich. Always chasing shadows. Trump was supposed to be pro-peace all through. Nobody voted for Satanyahu's wars. Nobody voted lawfaring or deporting people who don't kow-tow to Israel. Trump is making gigantic mistakes that he will end up regretting big time. From his CDC nominations to pretending Pam Bondi cares for anything other than Israel and being on FOX news. Scamala would have been significantly worse but Trump is shitting the bed. BTW, Yemen had been bombing Israeli ships not USA ships. JD Vance basically outted it in that Signal fiasco story. The US is fighting a war on behalf of Israel in Yemen rather than mandate them to comply with the ceasefire terms. You're justifying the indiscriminate killing of women, children, journalists, Healthcare worker's. Something that both Biden and Trump now have in common. |

IjeBos:Seems like you are the one having problems with language here. Pete Hegseth, as the U.S. Secretary of Defense, is allowed to bring his babe to meetings with foreign military officials; nothing is stopping him from doing this. A defense secretary has significant discretion over who they invite to such discussions. Even the WSJ acknowledges this. "A secretary can invite anyone to meetings with visiting counterparts," idiots like you find who will fool them so they can feed it to their TDS. Look for a wife, you are wasting off

I would agree with all of this. All of it. except where Kamala would’ve been worse. Now you know you’re just saying that to mask your disappointment in yourself that you let your isms make you choose the other candidate. There was no objectivity applied in the decision to support Trump. Live with your disappointment and don’t drag her into this. She literally warned y’all that this all of this would happen under Trump. Anyone could’ve seen this. Everyone who saw he’s been a chronic liar since like forever would’ve laughed when he was making those promises. But not you guys. Don’t make your inability to pattern detect an everybody thing. But yes for once I agree with you! Android17: |

Android17:You just wrote a post here in which you seemed to be able to understand the difference in how words are used. And then you write this. Jill Biden attended a Cabiner meeting on a White House initiative on Women's Health Research. She spoke for about 4.5 minutes. As you also know at these Cabinet meetings the President usually seats in the middle of the Table. So, though she was sitting at the end, she wasn't leading it. She did not make policy calls, the meeting was not sensitive or classified and she did what most first ladies have done. The US is not run by Kings and Queens and Royal Families. It is illegal for anyone who is not cleared to receive classified information to get it. There is no exemption for people's partners. In September, the former first lady sat at the head of the table at a Cabinet meeting to speak about a White House Initiative on Women's Health Research. The president traditionally sits at the center of the table with Cabinet members seated in order of the founding of their departments. Former first lady Hillary Clinton also attended a Cabinet meeting during her husband Bill Clinton's term.https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-cabinet-meeting-jill-biden-2036987 It's so weird you people claim you are so smart and thoughtful but get sucked in this constant propaganda and lies. |

bemeruca:Level of dishonesty in this post. You posted a quote from a story, yet seemingly didn't read the story (I'm not sure you would have understood the story if you did read it). You probably read where someone posted it online. This is the quote from the story you posted. bemeruca:Here is the rest of that quote from that story: A secretary can invite anyone to meetings with visiting counterparts, but attendee lists are usually carefully limited to those who need to be there and attendees are typically expected to possess security clearances given the delicate nature of the discussions, according to defense officials and people familiar with the meeting. There is often security near the meeting space to keep away uninvited attendees. |

It's just that while Biden and his gang would pretend to disagree with the way Netanyahoo is conducting his ethnic cleansing (while arming them to the teeth and protecting them from the UN and ICC), Donald Trump doesn't bother with any yeye eye service. |
