All distractions and creating confusion… stop listening to what he says and start paying attention to what he and the people he appointed do and who benefit from it.
The clock is ticking down on a crucial but little-noticed part of President Donald Trump’s first round of executive orders — the one tasking the secretaries of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to submit a joint report, within 90 days, recommending “whether to invoke the Insurrection Act.”
Many of us are now holding our collective breath, knowing that the report and what it contains could put us on the slippery slope toward unchecked presidential power under a man with an affinity for ironfisted dictators.
Adding to the suspense was the recent “Friday Night Massacre” at the Pentagon — the firing of the nation’s top uniformed officer and removing other perceived guardrails (i.e., the top uniformed lawyers at the Army, Navy and Air Force) standing between the president and his long-stated intention to declare martial law upon returning to power.
You’re a better person than I am if you can. There is a firehose of bullshit coming at us right now.
Him “thinking about” or “threatening” doing shit is a distraction until it gets to the next step. Him “moving” to do shit is him actually having started the process.
What I mean is the whole threats of tariffs thing is distracting people from the hollowing out of the government and checks / balances that make it a democracy. Removing protections against and sanctions on Russia. Pouring all the goodwill and trust on the stage of world politics down the drain. Who stands to benefit from an isolated US and infighting within NATO?
