Pam Bondi, the Trump-bondaged US Attorney General is blaming the Biden Administration for airlifting tens of thousands of Afghan nationals who assisted the US military during the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. These nationals of foreign countries were essential to US armed forces - interpreters, informants, translators, etc. - and the US was obligated under contract to protect them when the US withdraws. And that is exactly what the Biden administration did.
But Bondi and Trump are using the attack to blame the Biden administration, when the fact is that even if Biden admitted these people into the US, it fell to the Trump administration to look at their cases and make decisions on grating them asylum, and the Trump administration that studied his case happily granted the terrorist the asylum.
Bondi said, “We have looked at…failed policies of Biden ... to letting people into our country without proper vetting after the Afghanistan debacle”, but ignored the fact that it was her government who opened the file, studied the case, vetted the criminal, and granted him asylum. But it has become an addiction of the Trump morons to keep blaming policies from decades ago (Clinton, Obama and Biden) in order to deflect public opinion from their own abysmal failures and to fool, again and again, their herd of MAGA morons with bullshit patriotic slogans.
The suspect, 29-year-old Afghan Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who was arrested after shooting two National Guardsmen close to the White House, had his asylum application approved earlier this year by Trump's supposedly fixed and stricter immigration regulations that have obviously failed.
Lakanwal was later revealed to have worked with various U.S. government entities, including the CIA.
What this episode exposes all too well: Next time the US needs domestic interpreters, translators, informants... on the ground, all these people should refrain from assisting the US forces, even as they are promised money and shelter. The US always betrays its "friends". I am guessing, but the terrorist shooter who helped the Americans back in Afghanistan might have realized upon his admission to the US that the Trump-style Americans have nothing but contempt, racism and hatred for people like him, which might have prompted him to commit his attack.
Bondi called the Democrats and the media “disgusting and despicable” for criticizing illegal National Guard deployments, as if the criticism has anything to do with the passing into action of the Afghan terrorist whom they - the Trump administration - supposedly vetted and granted asylum to.
Bondi is following traditional Trump tactics: shift the blame that lays squarely on your shoulders to your rivals, thinking that the American people are stupid enough not to see who the real incompetent idiot is.
Meanwhile, the highly incompetent dark-skinned Hindu Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, further embarrassed his boss Trump during a briefing about the Washington DC shooting by claiming that the shooter[s] "will be brought to justice," even after the DC police chief had revealed that there is only one suspect who is already in custody.
This isn't the first time Patel's competence has been questioned. In September, the Senate grilled him at a hearing about his actions in Charlie Kirk's murder investigation. At the hearing, Patel was derided for hastily announcing that Kirk's killer was caught even as the gunman was still a fugitive and not in custody at that point.

Kash Patel is obviously very very busy doing the Kama Sutra with his girlfriend - country singer Alexis Wilkins - whom he ferries around to concerts, football games and vacations on board official government planes. We should at least give him credit for daring to date a southern White girl in an environment where his own White supremacist colleagues are clearly racists and xenophobes.
