So, both Biden's and Trump's DHS failed to properly screen this person, but it is solely Biden's fault to Trump's supporters. Also, because he was granted Asylum, he wasn't illegal at the time of the attack ... he was a legal immigrant.
    Him being legal means *nothing* to the Trump administration.
    Hell, the fact that being too brown is enough cause for arrear and potential deportation might have been the reason he shot the two guards.
    Like a paranoia fueled panic attack about being sent back to Afghanistan.

    Will emphasise that this is just a theory of why he did it.

    "How much did the tariffs lower it from there?"

    That's after tariffs were applied. In fact, I see nothing in here that says tariffs paid down US debt at all. But that means that everything Trump has done to lower the budget, stuff like DOGE and the tariffs, has been canceled out by increased spending in other places.

    Trump said he was lowering the deficit. Trump lied.
    I imagine the US credit rating getting downgraded also didn't help with the interest on the debt.
    Wonder what lead to that happening this year...
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    I am fully aware that his actual status means nothing. He could have been a naturalized citizen and they would still push their narrative.

    Of course. White Supremacy is the name of the game with this Administration - and the thinly veiled racism by the Cult doesn't hide that fact.

    The fact we have the mask drop from "We want to deport illegal immigrants" to actively supporting deporting ALL immigrants.

    And brown American citizens too. Can't forget Trump and Cult both are all in on that as well.

    Yup. It would in fact be even better because the narrative then becomes - see, the legal status doesn’t matter, all immigrants from certain parts of the world are bad.

    They've stepped it even further. "Deport all democrats!!" was trending right after it happened.

    Nothing. Trump is just using Biden's name as a general insult, a less-than-paper-thin excuse. He probably wants to bulldoze it and put up a statue of himself, and by saying "this is Biden's fault" he wants his supporters to cheer him on. Ironically, the latest development in the Reflecting Pool was a water filtration system to make it cleaner. In 2012. There is no evidence Biden was involved.
    Almost like when you fire everyone that cleans it then it gets dirty. Trump's just looking for an excuse to built the Trump obelisk, one that is 1/100th the size of the one already there.

    Oh look the CIA involved. So a much basic story that person worked for CIA and Afghan Intelligence helping they yes, we needed to extract this guy since Taliban would have killed him. Idk what is confirmed on PTSD side but seems legit if you are doing some heinous shit in his home country.

    Part of the story but definitely no concrete conclusion yet. Likely not what the shit stain Trumpers who just ban a whole country off one person. Who demonize this guy who again did alot of dirt for the CIA. If you are CIA now every time you make a deal to extract a source for protection, that person understands their words don't mean shit.
    Now to be fair I wouldn’t put it past MAGA to be in deep on CIA conspiracy theories as well.

    Of course this won't clear any narrative of the fascist and I cautioned that this may not be the whole story either.

    I deleted and was going to edit, about a clear fascist playbook of blaming one person for the whole group.

    For anyone who sees Kaleredar reply; post. I will go with my original post.

    Copy/paste my words at least. Forgive me it's Thanksgiving:

    He just did a sort off followup video. Summarizes the mess the US is in politically at the moment rather well.

    Not only will they not listen you now hear them trying to distance themselves from Trump. Libertarian fucking assholes are now trying to paint him as a leftist.
