Thursday

From NPR today:

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said in an emailed statement Thursday that the shooter involved in the attack, who came to the U.S. from Afghanistan in 2021, was admitted into the U.S. "due to his prior work with the U.S. Government, including CIA."

“including CIA”? Hmm.

Is the current “president” this stupid, complaining about how some immigrants don’t love America when our own government literally employed the shooting suspect?
