Reup: We know that Afghan counterinsurgency veteran Rahmanullah Lakanwal passed multiple vettings before he allegedly murdered Sarah Beckstrom. The Afghan counterinsurgency veteran who FAILED his subsequent vetting, before murdering, is Whiskey Pete Hegseth.

This is their bread and butter bullshit. They cannot produce any evidence to justify their murders, so they invent hypotheticals like “they could’ve been ISIS or Al Qaeda…they could’ve had lots of drugs…”
It wouldn’t stand up in a single court of law…which is why they actively undermine our courts.

The lectureer, Rutger Bregman said that President Trump was the “most openly corrupt president in American history”. This was removed before his lecture was broadcast on Tuesday.
Because, of course, what he said was true.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
