@nfergus A smart hypothesis — but it may credit Trump with more strategic coherence than the evidence warrants. Distraction politics is real; disciplined maskirovka less so. Sometimes chaos is a tool. Often it’s just chaos, retrospectively upgraded into grand design.
They aren't going to lower the flags in this country for the 3 police officers from my local PD who were gunned down by a 24 year old with an AR.
These dudes were actual heroes, since it seems like people have forgotten what actual heroism looks like
TRUMP: “John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up…”
John couldn’t get his fucking arm up because he was tortured as a POW while serving in Vietnam.
Trump dodged the draft crying bone spurs. What a POS to still be besmirching a war hero.
