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.
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.
