Is his "racist" comment a DISTRACTION from Epstein?

[BigmanPigman]

Was this his plan? Will he order more ICE raids the day Mueller testifies?

[trev]

1. Yes and no.

His tactic has always been to attack and distract at the same time.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Is that what the "one two punch" means?

[trev]

16. Good point.

[hatrack]

3. Well, lotsa luck with that approach - Esptein is going to go on for months, if not years

Plenty of boils to lance, plenty of slime to sieve, plenty of connections to explore, and it's disgustingly prurient enough that even America's television "journalists" will still be paying plenty of attention.

5. We can multitask.

6. Huh

I was thinking the same thing

[liberal N proud]

4. Every action is a distraction from the previous action

[kentuck]

7. The racist comments may have been a distraction...

But I doubt that Donald Trump expected to be censured on the Floor of the US House.

8. That's what I thought it might be. There's a report out that Epstein had cameras all over

his mansion and recorded everything. If Dear Leader shared in the festivities it's probably recorded for all time. Pervs don't destroy their libraries. The big question is whether Barr will disappear it.

10. +1

9. No. None of his supporters care what he does, and his opponents haven't gotten the political will

to do something about it. Justice supposedly marches on no matter what.

[VarryOn]

11. He can do all the destractions he wants on this deal, but...

Epstein isnt going away, nor should he! I hope there's a video of every Epstein buddy who got so much as a semi-erection from any of those girls. I so hope for a perv frog march, with the Orange One front of the line!

12. David Frum got this right:

13. He is clever!

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Everything he does is an attempt to distract

From his inept idiocy. He's in way over his head without a tool chest. Attack, distract, confabulate, rinse and repeat, thats his modus operandi. He's the ultimate con, smoke, mirrors and prestidigitation.

He's an idiot propped up by sycophants. We should expect nothing from him but hateful chaos. It's what, as a psychopath, he thrives on. Creating pain is his idea of a good time, that's how psychologically disturbed he is. It's a shortcoming for us not to clearly see this. He is best ignored and bulldozed under.

Our most serious mistake is attempting to explain or make sense of his madness. Our attention is best utilized focusing elsewhere. The more we discuss and debate him and his prestidigitation, the more he wins and we lose. Attention is our most vital tool. Whatever we focus our attention on we strengthen. He doesn't deserve the time of day. We need to focus on GOTV!!

15. I don't think it was meant to be a distraction from Epstein. I think it was meant to be

a distraction of the EO he just signed prohibiting Planned Parenthood doctors from having an abortion discussion with their patients.

Like Rachel says, watch what they do, not what they say.

[trev]

17. Thanks for the reminder.

[comradebillyboy]

18. Trump mistakenly thought Nancy Pelosi would take his side

against the four Democratic representatives in her own caucus. Trump thinks everyone is as petty and vindictive as he is.

[nini]

19. yes.. everything he does is a distraction from his crimes

..and corruption.

[DemocracyMouse]

20. NEW DEMOCRATIC TALKING POINT:

When fussing over a Trumpian distraction, ALWAYS point out FIVE things he is covering up.

That is a news algorithm that will give Dems a supermajority in 2020.

[BigmanPigman]

21. Works for me!

[gulliver]

22. +1000

[gulliver]

23. Yes, and Mueller and North Korea and Iran...

He has to get America fighting each other to keep them from going after him. It's not going to work. The rat has been smelled.
