Disrupted lives for no reason except to shut down organizations investigating him and accessing billions of American taxpayer protected information. If this wasn’t clear to you from the beginning I don’t know what to tell you.


DOGE is just an opportunity to make wild claims to tarnish the democrats and win votes. That's why I said let's just keep quiet till 2025 deficit is announced.

Ibime:
The DOGE thing is just political opportunism and sensationalism to make political capital out of the norms of US spending for decades. Most of it is sensationalism to win voters just like Elon shouting about 130 year old people on National database

To make you think Democrats are stealing money and win your vote eternally

At the end of the year, we would just judge the growth or decline in deficit, National spending and Social Security spending to judge the truth or otherwise of the matter

Men lie, women lie, numbers dont

Democrats will demand a probe in congress Subpoena every they can obtain from him.
Whatever secrets he has be they infidelity will be leaked to NYT and other media will force him.to resign

Consider this case

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2023/03/marine-sniper-was-denied-permission-to-shoot-isis-suicide-bomber-who-killed-13-us-troops-testimony/

Marine Corps sergeant said he was denied permission to take out the Kabul airport suicide bomber who killed 13 American troops and over 170 Afghans in August 2021.

Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a sniper stationed at the Kabul airport, shared the testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday.


Not a word from the media.Noond was prosecuted or fired .


John Ullyot, who just resigned as chief Pentagon spokesman, and is a friend of Hegseth, says that the Pentagon is in “total chaos”.

He writes:

“It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president.

Even strong backers of the secretary like me must it: The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon — and it’s becoming a real problem for the istration.

There are very likely more shoes to drop in short order, with even bigger bombshell stories coming this week, key Pentagon reporters have been telling sources privately.”

It was so obvious. They didn’t even try hard. Fraud fraud yet not one arrest happened . The ones that believe them are those who don’t know how difficult it is to dupe the govt. you’ll go to federal prison.

They think leadership is by noise and propaganda. When it comes to actually doing stuff, all they know is how to cause chaos to distract from their ineptitude

He served as Pope in fulfillment of the Gospels teachings.
I've always found it odd Republicans were opposed to him because he spoke Jesus's message.
Seems Republicans have moved away from Christianity.

Look at Jesus’ characteristics and juxtapose them to Republican ideals of today. They are the ones who would’ve crucified him.

The brown messiah? Who hangs with sinners and welcomes foreigners? Yea the republican leadership would’ve been the ones to hit the first nail on that cross. No ifs and buts.

Problem here is that you guys can’t distinguish between deceit from those who want to destroy you and what you believe in, wolves in sheep clothings and those who really need genuine help!

How many displaced and needy people can you take in? Jesus said the needy and the poor you will always have with you, but me you will not. That’s imperative. It implies that you can’t take in all the needy - that’s foolhardy. You can only help others when you’ve done enough to help yourself!

Stop misinforming people! This Ullyot guy was fired! He was one of the “leakers” of the defence communications on Yemen operations. If he’s yapping away now, it’s because he was caught, exposed and dismissed!

in the 90s, we witnessed the failure of late stage communism and then complete collapse o the soviet union. today we are seeing the failure of late stage capitalism - where egotistical megalomaniacs deceive themselves that all that matters is their own prosperity , and the accompanying collapse of the united states

I'm not going to go through an exegesis of that verse with you.

But, If you find yourself chastising the Pope for his message of love and inclusion while deifying Trump, you may want to sit your bible for while longer. Well, if you have one.

Soviet Union collapsed, communism did not.
The freedom of capitalism is giving rise to communist and Marxist ideology stemming from the left. They usually go to colleges to get radicalized.

The pope never had a message, he was just saying what the globalists ask him to say.

Please include Hegseth reder. 3 leakers got fired and suddenly the Pentagon is a fish market.
Also check his response to claims that he used Signal messaging to his close family over Yemen strikes.

When democrats are after you they never relent.

And this right there is the problem I have with impatient people. You are always so concerned with the immediate impact of some positive steps, you lose sight of the greater good that the initial sacrifice will bring. You also don't like to talk about the good a positive move is making or causing in the society. You all are so full of hate, you lose every sense of humanity in you!
You will not talk about the drop in prices of gas that's the direct result of the tariffs "war" and all other good things coming from it. Don't get caught in the TDS web bro.

The drop in the price of gas is good news. But how did the tariff war cause a reduction in gas prices?

That might actually be true. Having a family member here as a student means you might not return after your graduation. I applied for a student visa twice for a relative and got denied both times. ission and finances all straight .

Every requirement was met but of course the VO thought there was no compelling evidence that the student would return to Nigeria upon graduation. So it could be true that having family in the USA might be a disadvantage. Makes sense.

Wow! This is serious. Finances don't matter anymore?

This is your defence for the actions of a very powerful Government, a Machine in its own right, with access to public lands, and all the wealth you can ever imagine. Shameful, you are not a Christian. This is disgraceful. How low can you get!

Is the student married? What is the age of the student, does the student have properties, etc?

Having a family in the US has nothing to do with whether you are going to return or not. Even if you don't have a family in the US what will make you return if you don't want to?

The Interviewer is interested in one thing only. Are you likely to come back? If you have property at home that you manage, or a business or a family,anything that fies you firmly to Nigeria.
Once the finances and documents are in order that's the next thing you need to convince them. If your port has never been stamped ,you aren't scoring points .If your port has exit Stamos from Europe especially that's a bonus

Who was to blame for the girls who turned you down.
Depending on whom you ask it's always the other person who was at fault.
The leakers were fired, don't expect them to praise Hegseth. Maybe they are bitter because they have mortgage repayments that were seriously disrupted.

One leading a school of thought has a paper that provides a pathway for a just wage. Overwhelm the social security nets such that govt has to give in and decree a living wage .

Your Pulitzer winning media house for the Russian hoax has not told you that Trump is planning to defund PBS and NPR.

You think it's a pure coincidence that the latest Hegseth Signal leak chat is doing the rounds.
