The Trump administration claims to be fighting an existential battle against insurrectionary forces in Los Angeles. In truth, it created this cynical spectacle itself, deploying troops and inflaming tensions to distract from its policy failures.

    He doesn’t want you to know that RFK just fired all the people in the FDA who approve vaccines. Pay attention to that shiny object way over there and ignore that your personal chances of dying just significantly increased.

    Before this happened smart intelligent people could just ignore everything RFK says and look to non government or foreign/European governments for guidelines on vaccines and health issues. But this new directive is going to kill intelligent and unintelligent Americans alike because going forward life saving vaccines will no longer be approved for Americans.

    Today it is as if Herman Cain, the infamous idiot who went to a Treason Trump rally without a mask and died from Covid a few days later, is making your critical survival decisions that you are no longer allowed to make. That Traitorapist Trump and the Republican Party places a very cheap value on your life, no matter who you are, is something that you need to remember for the rest of your life.

      The shitty thing is that this isn’t just a fake news story to distract you from the truth. Even if it is a distraction tactic, it is also a very real threat and escalation that needs attention too. It’s fucking whack a mole with the problems and many of the moles are the size city buses.

        People who say “This is just a distraction” are missing the point of Steve Bannon’s flood the zone tactic. The point is to overwhelm you with too much shit at the same time, regardless of what they get away with it’s something that they want. It’s not causing chaos to hide a nefarious plan, the chaos is the plan.
