Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

While America today is focused on the DC National Guard shooting, we should all be asking how did the shooter get his guns and why is this administration working to make that even easier?
While the world focused on the Epstein files, Congress took up a dangerous bill that sponsors say is to help law enforcement get greater access to “less-than-lethal” weapons.
In reality, it deregulates dangerous weapons to help a billion-dollar weapons industry make more money.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.
