Could all this distraction be avoided or is being done on purpose?

We thought his 1st term was chaotic, but holy criminey! We are seeing him tear everything down! From the courts to the military, the media, government agencies to arresting people off the streets.

Yet the GOBers idly defend him at every opportunity.

The Big Bologna Bill could have been rejected on it merits alone. They knew it was bad and still voted for it. Knowing that it would affect the aging population and children in so many, the word cruelty comes to mind.

Now the floods and Epstein scandal. The Trump administration sweeps it all under the rug and say “look over here” with a chaotic situation brewing.

Of course it is being done on purpose! Just because they have control over the narrative.

It is going to be a never ending cycle!

I never want something to happen to anyone, but my patience is growing thinner by the minute!

It is Stephen millers strategy.

Plus with a thousand small spoons you can bring down a damn in no time.

They are tearing down our country FAST.

I’m ready cause it is not stopping them anymore. Each day escalates the fear, intimidation and violence on our streets.

The child president has a ten second attention span & he flits from one issue/disaster to another, & the media flits with him while his cosplay cabinet create more messes. The lunatics are in charge.
