Yesterday

I had a bad feeling this event would be a MIHOP or LIHOP event to bolster many agendas for trump (garner sympathy, boost ratings, the Ballroom, Martial Law, increase attacks on citizens and political opponents, etc. )

Even if this was real, it will be quietly welcomed, if this is faked it will set off another week of shrill shit making trump to look like he has beaten death again while marginalizing opposition even more.

Either way it's bullshit

No matter what...
