@evelyn it could maybe be excused if it was just a wrangling op. most all conservative media in the USA is that. it's just there so people can 'feel included' while they all stand down on anything meaningfully important, and keep the population segment in a controlled loop.

it's another thing entirely when you have mass security stand-downs the night you "get attacked" and use it as an excuse to indiscriminately bomb an entire city state in to the ground
