ICE agents most certainly did not "kidnap" three million people under Obama, and more, they didn't kidnap anyone who was going through the process legally, unlike the current regime. |
While true, the shooter was inspired by Trump and his policies. |
Yes although he likely has handlers, all seems fairly orchestrated. |
It makes sense when you understand that he spent his life as a US operative and once settled in the USA, Trump pulled legal status for him and his family, thuse forcing them back to Afghanistan where they are sure to face death at the hands of the Taliban. |
The NG is not improving the crime situation in DC. NG are not trained for crime disruption or intervention. This why they are mostly standing around, doing yard work, and occasionally helping elderly people cross streets (which is nice! The NG I've encountered are very nice, but they are not cops). This was a targeted attack -- this guy traveled to DC to shoot military officers, who he knew from TV were standing around in DC. In what way will bringing more NG into DC help this situation? Btw, it you actually knew anything about what has been going on in DC, you'd know the mayor attributes the drop in crime, in part, to the involvement of federal officers in raids and arrests. These are not NG, but FBI, ATF, and ICE. The NG has played no role in law enforcement. |
In this case, the shooter and his family served USA interests for years in Afghanistan with a promise of legal status in the US. Trump reneged on that, putting the shooter and his family at risk. How else does the US conduct a ground war with allies on the ground? And, how do Trump's action impact any future US actions in another country? |

This doesn't apply to the shooter though, so why are you posting it here? The shooter was apparently a known CIA operative who was promised legal status in the US for him and his family. Trump went back on that promise, and hence the shooting. |

This guy was just vetted again and approved for asylum by the Trump administration earlier this year. Think about that - in a period of time where Trump was canceling asylum and rounding up immigrants/migrants, this guy gets a seal of approval from Stephen Miller and company! But keep f#cking that chicken. This guy won’t have a day in court with all he knows about US operations in Afghanistan as *checks notes* a child soldier. Dark stuff. |
100% this. Maybe at some point, MAGA will understand that asylum and immigration are real things, for real people with real impact on American foriegn policy. or, nah. |
| Any updates re: the condition of NG? |
It would not surprise me at all if this guy was abused as part of bacha bazi with Northern Alliance warlords who were aligned with the U.S. He’s the right age. What other reason would the CIA or .mil need a 14 year-old? It’s nuts to even contemplate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi |
