    I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts

    • shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
    • shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
    • months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing “crime”, despite crime rates dropping
    • a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
    • two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
    • Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC

    Curious.

        Gonna need a source because that’s definitely not how it normally works. If true that’s wild.

        Edit: a cursory Google says they were in DC since August, so this is most likely bullshit. Also to reiterate, that’s not how any of that works.

      I’ve no doubt in my mind that this was entirely purposeful. Just like his “attempted assassination”. I’m fully convinced that that kid was promised a load of cash and had no idea he’d be taken out.
