The Trump administration on Thursday blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., but the alleged gunman was granted asylum this year under Donald Trump, according to a U.S. government file seen by Reuters.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, entered the U.S. on September 8, 2021, under Operation Allies Welcome. The resettlement program was set up by Joe Biden after the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 that led to the rapid collapse of the Afghan government and the country’s takeover by the Taliban.

    Basically every false flag ever claimed is bullshit, however in this case I’d be hard pressed to deny this being a likely real one. The cartoon evil on display in public leads me to believe there are probably hundreds or thousands of evil things done which we don’t (and may never) know about.

    Trump makes it impossible not to assume he’s committed every felony in existence many times. It’s so extreme that he managed to be a billionaire who also was convicted of over 30 felonies. It’s almost like he tried to see how many crimes he could get away with like it’s a video game high score or something. Imagine if some day he magically was tried and convicted for everything you can prove he did. I’ve zero doubt he’d be facing several life sentences.

        Notice I said “basically”. It’s not my fault that 99 times out of 100 these claims come from morons like Alex Jones.
