Feels like people are leaping to whatever is in their immediate view.
Attack Iran to distract from Epstein. Attack Venezuela to distract from Epstein. Genocide in Gaza to distract from Epstein. ICE agents raiding various liberal cities to distract from Epstein. Try and fire Jerome Powell to distract from Epstein. Demolish the East Wing of the White House to distract from Epstein. Tighten sanctions on Cuba to distract from Epstein. Threaten Greenland to distract from Epstein. Greenlighting media consolidation into the hands of Silicon Valley allies. Turning over increased managerial authority to AI to distract from Epstein.
Like, you wouldn't even know Project 2025 was a thing. Or that guys like Steven Miller and David Navarro are restructuring the socio-economic landscape of the country to impose a new national fascist regime.
Everything revolves around keeping this single dead pedophile multi-millionaire from being linked to Donald Trump, a thing that has already been happening for the better part of a decade.
The fact that "it's kinda obvious" suggests to me that people are being distracted by Epstein.
I just want to point out that bombing Iran has been an outspoken political view of the Republican Party for almost 40 years now. They have been foaming at the mouth to do this since before Iraq. They used bombing Iran as a campaign ad against John McCain in the 2008 election. Everyone over 30 should know this.
It's been the political view of the Neocon Wing of the GOP, specifically. After Trump's win in 2016, a bunch of those neocons jumped ship to join the Democratic Party. So now both parties have this brain parasite of Iran hate digging through their leadership.
Ah yes, a classic McCain banger.
Crazy that this was the most moderate voice within the Republican Party.
It's all distractions. All of it. It's practically a distraction onion at this point.
