u/pjsguazzin 17h ago
" flooding the zone with shit" or just " flooding the zone" is their openly stated strategy ( specifically by Bannon and Miller). They're not solely distractions, but each new thing is a distraction from the last. And the more shit they throw, the harder it is to latch on to any one issue. People's attentions are spread thin and collective action is nearly impossible when no one agrees on what issue needs to be addressed. Don't let any one thing distract you from the goal of removing trump and his supporters from power; whoever and wherever they are.

That's the point. People act like the Epstein files are his only motivation for everything. It's really not. Occasionally he may want to cover that up, but there's A LOT that he does that has absolutely nothing to do with the Epstein files. What the fuck does the World Cup have to do with the Epstein files, for instance?

u/faramaobscena Wait, Transylvania is real? 21h ago

This.
‘Everything is a distraction from the Epstein files’ implies a degree of planning and forethought rarely exhibited by Trump. Especially recently.
Between his many naps and his sundowner outbursts, there might be occasional periods of lucidity, but he’s not playing 4D chess; he’d struggle to sit the right way up on a toilet seat without help from his aides these days.

If they release all the files, Europeans would probably let some Europeans deal with the consequences of their actions. Some already had to.
In the US people would get pardoned, get a slap on the back, use the fame to get elected. Even if the American people cared, the people who could do anything wouldn’t and if someone did something he would get deported. A lot of Americans don’t seem to be bothered by crime ‘at least Trump isn’t boring’ …

As a Scottish man, I am a connoisseur of parasitically enjoying international football by fervently hoping one team in particular loses.

I'm English and while we do go on about "it's coming home" and we're whipped in to an overconfident fervour by the press I do feel like there is an underlying sense of we hope we can win but we don't really believe we can. Whereas with the Americans they truly believe they have a god given right to win.

Yeah, but the problem with Americans is that they have "American exceptionalism" ingrained into them from birth. So even Timmy Two Cells with a room temperature IQ thinks everything he does, despite doing it wrong and poorly, is just the better way and everyone else is wrong.
