Grand rising/day/evening, comrades! I’m about to be busy, so in the before-hectic time I opened Lemmy to see the following posts immediately, and thought perchance they may serve your entertainment needs:

    Ah yes, thanks for pointing out the obvious in my face. Like recruiting people with learning disabilities or mental health conditions to daesh, then arresting them (which makes me wonder how these cases aren’t dismissed as entrapment).

      And imagine having not just a list of psychopaths but also evidence of them doing horrific things to use as black mail. Not that a psychopath that kills kittens isn’t going to jump at the chance to hurt people for a CIA pay cheque.

        It speaks very clearly to the psycopathy of US policy and a cargo shipload of government apparatus people.
