Summary
Donald Trump will not attend the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers killed during a training exercise in Lithuania.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will represent the administration at Dover Air Force Base. Critics noted Trump’s rare attendance at such ceremonies, citing just four appearances during his first term.
The soldiers’ remains were found in a peat bog after a March 25 accident.
Trump is instead scheduled to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Lithuania’s president honored the fallen at a repatriation ceremony, drawing contrast with Trump’s absence.
… and in this day in age … nothing more American than in having Americans put up with it all
If any previous American president had done this, it would have been headline news for months … for this administration it’s completely normalized … it doesn’t show bad the government is … it shows how dumbed down the country has become.
Actually, I think it shows how susceptible people are to what media tells them. The word is getting out to resist and organize. Traditional media doesn’t have full control, but it is working to slow the reaction down.
Furthermore, people have a much tighter leash to their corporate overlords/sponsors, they have to be strategic about which protest (if they even have the energy).
So yeah, it’s dumb and circumstances. But we’ve been been engineered down this path for the past few decades, it’s coming for you too.
Fuck capitalism.
American citizens are not putting up with it all. There are massive protests in every city in America every weekend.
The problem is the the media is barely covering it at all, so people keep saying that Americans arent doing anything about it.
By next summer, every weekend will see MULTIPLE simultaneous major demonstrations in every major city across America, protesting multiple issues. That’s when HitlerPig will turn the military and law enforcemnt against the protesters in a Tiananmen-style response that will allow him to impose Martial Law and cancel the mid-term elections, and preserve his Congressional majorities.
Unfortunately that’s exactly how I see it too. I’m lucky I’m getting old, I fear massively for the next generation.
