It's A Diversion!

Think about it: The New Yorker ran a story that the Kremlin nixed Mitt Romney as Secretary of State!

That is a stunning, shocking revelation that in normal times would be the lead story on every media outlet. Instead, we have a low level nobody that everyone is talking about.

The Romney story came out several hours before Nunburg went insane, and even then, it wasn't really registering on people's radars.

Might have been a really earth shaking news story if we did not already know that the Kremlin picked the VP.

... bigger story seeing the common theme is NutBerg not selling Stone down the river.

What good is a diversion when it shines light on the very crimes that the diversion is supposed to divert us from? Plus, this argument gives Team Imbeciles way more ingenuity and organization than they are capable of.

(Which might be a repeat)

It’s not a diversion. If so, it’s the worst diversion of all time.

“They have something on Donald Trump...not sure what, but definitely have something on him....people like Hannity, Dobbs, Piero are going to be very embarrassed.” That’s close to an exact quote.

Exactly. Dems are always thinking any bumbling idiocy from the Repubs is an ingenious trick.

responses like flushing and sweating and he's contradicting everything he says.

I think it's just there are that many insane things going on, and one has video.

He's deliberately covering up for Stone. Whatever he is hiding is so big, that it is literally causing him to have a meltdown on live TV.

I wonder who has threatened him and if his family has also been threatened. There was a wild look about him when his father was mentioned on Ari's show.

The guy was wound up by someone or something.

Problem is , these people are in over their IQ's. They are mental midgets, not giants. And considering his past relationship with Trump, this meltdown was a long time in the making.

Could someone have purposely pushed him over the edge as a distraction ?

Roger Stone would do anything to distract and disrupt including using a guy loyal to him.

So, who knows ?

But if true, Nunberg isn't in on the play. He's all over the place, no focus.

Sam Nunberg has been coked/liquored up and sent out to muck up on all networks this evening to distract from the 2nd Steele Dossier that claims Putin put the kibbosh on Mitt Romney's bid for Sec of State! It's treasonous!

Nunberg is falling on his sword for Trump for the promise of a Presidential PARDON down the road!

And this descent into complete madness is being shown
on broadcast tv, telling me that the whole power
establishment is also sinking into madness.

We are a part of it ....
