HEGSETH SAYS TRUMP HAS ASKED FOR 500 ADDITIONAL TROOPS TO BE DEPLOYED TO WASHINGTON, D.C., AFTER TWO NATIONAL GUARD WERE

I agree. This is NOT good.

Well thatâ€™s not good either.

Remember that the Guard were originally deployed to DC to avenge Big Balls, who is meanwhile rifling through all our Social Security data.

AND ALSO, on Nov 20, Jia Cobb ruled the Guard deployment was illegaly, but stayed her decision until December 11.

but if this is a false flag, and I don't know, I'll bet whoever set this in motion was counting on the shooter being killed so that there would be no interrogation.

Hopefully, this won't be another Jack Ruby.

Either way, the results are the same; you don’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know what Trump et al. would do.

The best result would be tons of footage of them sitting around, bored out of their minds, playing cards, etc. It needs to be seen at completely pointless.

Please, please just put it on ignore.

...posing as strength.

And it's stupidity, supposing that ANY additional troops prevent rogue attacks like this.

They used to just stage night raids in Baghdad and Fallujah. This is how nations posture against enemy territory, this abomination of leadership directed at the nation's capital.
