It’s almost painfully obvious what a scam and a setup this whole “Pete Hegseth is killing innocent drug dealers!” thing is. Mysterious anonymous sources just happened to say exactly what the Democrats needed said following their illegal orders nonsense of last week, and exactly when they needed to change the subject from the murder of a soldier that was arguably contributed to by their illegal orders nonsense of last week. This is just the latest in an endless series of lies designed to undermine the will of the voters by undermining the Trump administration – throw it in the pile with Russiagate, trying to frame Trump, and Hunter Biden’s laptop, et al. But this latest phony scandal does raise an important question in American politics.

Are the people pushing this transparent nonsense cynical operators who know it’s ridiculous, or are they idiots who actually believe it?

Now, you wouldn’t know it from the coordinated regime media/ Democrat narrative tsunami, but, Pete Hegseth denies what the Washington Post claims were two anonymous sources saying that his instructions were to kill all the drug dealers in some unspecified illegal manner. Putting aside that it’s both legal and good to kill drug dealers hauling poison to our shores to kill our people, the hearsay claims of individuals who don’t have the courage of their convictions to come out and say it, or to report this allegedly illegal conduct officially, and also who don’t exist, the regime media/Democrat complex instantly accepted these anonymous slanders as gospel truth. Anonymous claims are the best claims because you can’t defend against them other than to deny them, which is exactly what the liars want. It’s all part of the okey-doke.

Suddenly, overnight, all the Democrats and all the regime media were on exactly the same message. I wonder how that happened. Well, that’s a key component of the scam. It’s an operation, albeit an ineptly executed one, and one which was disrupted by a subject of a different operation to undermine America, so it had to be accelerated to take the dead Guard soldier out of the news. Regardless, you’re either stupid or think we’re stupid if you’re pushing it.

Oh, where to begin? Well, let’s start with a chronology, which vet @TimOnPoint succinctly set forth almost immediately. You may or may not have noticed in the last couple of weeks that it suddenly, out of nowhere, for no reason, you had a bunch of Democrats announcing that troops are not supposed to follow illegal orders, which is something all soldiers are trained for, and it’s not a shock, surprise, or revelation to anyone. So, why did it happen just now? And why did billboards go up........
