    Still convinced the whole thing was a retirement benefits scam started by a couple of agents years ago that got too big and out of hand.

        Made it thru the House and Senate for what was such a laughably obvious grift

        Wonder if they're going to just get more openly deranged with the requests

          Yeah lmao

          Most likely, symptoms were from buildings being fumigated at the time; you could even see it in articles around the time, because Trump originally suggested the insanity and got roundly mocked. Then Biden came in and uh....they started running with it after the admin just kept the course.

          Fucking dipshits

      The best explanation I've seen is mass hysteria following a few people suffering from pesticide poisoning from the mosquito control efforts the embassy was doing at the time, and a second wave of opiate withdrawal after the US lost control of Afghan poppy fields.
