Beau of The Fifth Column

Okay, so the core question.

How did we know this was going to end up being the story?

We didn't.

We knew of his links at the time and might have known about the death of his colleague, but we didn't know about the years of mental health challenges.

We knew the narrative was wrong because any narrative that creates a simplistic good demographic versus bad demographic in the immediate aftermath of a dynamic politically charged event is always wrong.

It's just a way to manipulate the American public.

With the information currently available, the talking points in D.C.

should be something like expanding mental health access for asylees who fought for U.S.

forces.

We know Americans need it when we come back from war, and that's returning home.

Did we really think foreign-born fighters who then get the added stress of an evacuation before being transplanted to the U.S.

don't?

But nobody in D.C.

is going to want to talk about that because it would be called soft on crime.

And frankly, that's way more complicated and harder than scaring middle America with some foreign menace.

Well, howdy there, Internet people.

It's Belle again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's pardons.

U.S.

pardon attorney Ed Martin has said that Trump has issued 77 pardons to people accused of attempting to interfere in the 2020 presidential election results.
