Whiskey Pete, as the news unfolds about the DC Guardsmen shooting . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

Metal pot and liner on his coiffed hair, chin straps flapping in the breeze. A bayonet gripped in nis teeth, ammo belt bandoliers on both of his broad shoulders. I his hands, at the ends of bare muscled arms if a big hands holding a commandeered 50 cal machine gun taken from a tank.

Bravely, so very bravely, he surges an additional 500 troops

And the world is impressed at the decisive action of our Secretary of War. Then they ak: "what the fuck are 500 more Guardsmen going to do?

Really, what do we need another 500 troops for? Street sweeping? School closing guard duty?

2. Did you mean to say "school crossing guard?"

Sometimes predictive can be unhelpful.
