    This is propaganda, and it’s working. This is a distraction ploy. This is being done solely to absorb your limited attention. They’re pulling a Kansas City Shuffle.

    We should ignore this, and every other instance of Trump saying anything, he’s blustering for your attention while they tear everything else apart. They are actively making moves to stop the midterms from happening, continuing to drop bombs on ceasefire areas, completely disregarding an impending hurricane for anyone outside Mar A Lago, refusing military death payouts as they send more people into yet another meat grinder they refuse to call a war for clerical reasons, and allowing disease to spread through our food supply with no regard other than profit.

    Nobody is immune to propaganda, if you’re mad about this pointless nonsense then it worked on you.

      Yep. That’s what Bannon has been explaining. By the book. We know it. Why do we keep falling for it??

        God damnit, no. Epstein files are also a distraction ploy. Here’s the thing, nobody is ever going down because of the Epstein files. Not one. Not ever. There is a magical thing that happens when literally everyone in politics is involved with a thing, if one domino falls the rest follow. Everyone in those files is wqtching and protecting the backs of everyone else in those files and literally everybody in power is in those files. They may as well not exist, the files are no more than a ghost, an ephemeral dead visage of what was and could have been. They’re gone. Absolutely nobody in a position to do a god damned thing about it ever will, because they’re in the files. There is no more powerful a pact. We lost that one. It really fucking sucks. Move past it and look at the reality of now and the actuality of things, as mich of a tragic misscarriage of justice as it was staying lazer focused on the epstein files has allowed further and equally as blatant acts of heinous cruelty to pass by without notice.

        There is and always has been more than ten god awful things happening, absolute atrocities, at all times. When we focus on one specific aspect of what is now a dead tendril the rest act and continue their functions without regard, concern, or notice.

        Stop beating dead horses in the middle of a stampede.
