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.

Generative AI is a Dunning-Kruger accelerator, it enables people who know next to nothing about a subject believe they are more capable than experts.
