    WTF are you talking about? You're going to have to help me out. How did you start with me saying all 'news' channels are bullshit and end where I have a secret about racism population?

    If you’re defending the excuse being put forth you’re supporting Trump and the insurrection. As Liz Cheney said this is a critical point in our country where we must make a moral choice.

    you dont necessarily have a secret. i am asking you if you do. is your opinion on what percenta of trump voters are racist a secret or can you share it?

    i ask because i get the impression from the media that racism is a huge dividing issue in american politics and people are tasking sides based on it. like for instance if most trump supporters are racist you could use to help understand why they are motivated to overthrow american democracy, which seems fairly important. if a large number of them are racist, and almost half of voters voted trump, and we were one person (pence) away from losing ur democracy, i was wondering how close we might have been to a klan led ethnocracy, and how much murder we would engage in, relative to, for example nazi germany, or south African apartheid.

    so i ask again, what % of trump voters would you guess are racists? or is your opinion on that secret, and if so, why?

    Disclaimers are like taking the 5th, everyone knows the words don't mean anything including the person saying it. To my knowledge no government agency is officially monitoring communications.

    For a higher dramatic effect you should substitute Stasi for Gestapo. They were worse. Much more intrusive and 'effective'.

    i am not defending anything, i am discussing the extent to which our communications should be private and who oversees our texts when a viking trespasses.

    i am interested in which buildings need to be invaded or not invaded, and which hats may be worn, for me to have private texts. like for example if a viking hat guy invades a post office, and i text my buddy about it, and he works for a company that had govt contracts, do i lose my privacy?

    then how should we know when a person like hannity is communicating with officials, and if it is or is not determined by you to be mere opinion, and private, or policy advice, which apparently you think can never be private?

    i am discussing the invasions of privacy of the fox news people. they are not govt agents, and i dont think their texts should be made public, or known by the govt at all. i think privacy is very important. i think people should be able to speak off the record.

    my understanding is that hannity texted the private non govt number of meadows. i feel like it should take a warrant and moving heaven and earth to get access to those phone records. this jan 6th trespassing event does not justify invasion of privacy.

    your friend here suggests the following:

    "texts from her personal phone to his personal phone AND it is to influence or impact public business - then its not private"

    i think this is a slippery slope as its hard to determine what statements are meant to influence or impact public business. i dont really think it matters what their intent was, they should have privacy.

    That's a bold exaggeration and use of the word imo. I think it takes a hell of a lot of people, in a hell of a lot of locations, and the support of some members of Congress and the support of the military to even remotely consider calling it an insurrection.
