Shouldn't the Guardian be fact checking this sort of information before passing it on to unsuspecting readers? I am pretty sure this step was overlooked. The consequences of such irresponsible journalism could be deadly.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

A continued military occupation of DC is the plan to remain in office past 2028. It's a coup! It's doubtful they will give up control of the House or Senate if they lose seats there too. They will claim the elections were fraudulent and not allow elected officials to be sworn into office.
