I volunteer to be the government monitor to oversee their content and procedures.

Can you imagine that?

Question: “So what do you do for a living as a SES, GS14 and GS11?”

Answer: “watch porn.”

How about the government starts up a commission to regulate Internet porn? Hahahaha We could lead the world by being the first nation to have a porn commissioner. Now that’s progressive!

“The deal, known as a deferred prosecution agreement”

Its the SERV PRO conviction. After meeting conditions, “it’s like it never even happened”

Hunter Biden actually had an account there.
He has many photos of underage girls including his niece that he uploaded to the site.

I believe they (feds) got something they weren’t going to be able to get in court, in exchange for the deal. So it’s possible that some of the makers, rapists, and posters will be dealt with in time.

Pray for these girl's!
