Another descriptive term is wagging the dog (referring to the tail having disproportionate leverage over the beast) which is a (not uncommon) presidential tactic of taking a serious military action in order to distract from other scandals.

News media, including classic liberal media will allow other stories to die to report on attacks or invasions (or when you can get it, attacks on the US by foreign units).

George W.Bush used this method, but also blitzing the public with countless scandals. (George H. W. Bush did too) So Trump's kitchen cabinet was likely informed by history when considering becoming Bibi's personal B.

We are used having a crisis per quarter not crazy Orange Chicken spamming the controls and creating 4 crises per day

Yeah, man, let's get back to talking about it. Like we were doing. Just sittin around, talking about it, while more and more of this list happened. And then we just kept on talkin. That's what we need to get back to, suddenly, no one's talking about it. That's the problem.

You think "nobody" is talking about it?

What a tiny world you live in

I remember seeing some post of reddit while lurking of a bunch of election letters being dumped in a drain

I wonder what came of that

I thought the 2024 election rigging was all wild speculation?

I agree the pieces are there for it to happen but I didn't see any actual evidence.

There's an active court case in New York uncovering indications of tampering and wild statistical anomalies. This blog is a little conspiratorial sounding, but it's also doing a difficult job of putting back together the pieces of what is looking like a well executed technological coup.

I saw an analysis of results in deep-blue Arizona cities where there were quite a few people who voted for Trump...then Democrat down the rest of the ballot.

It's not hard evidence, but it's suspicious. The problem the US has is that the winners are quite okay with winning at any cost and don't see a problem, even if the win was stolen.

I am so drunk rn but I can't wait to read this tomorrow because you are a goddess sharing fucking .gov sources to a mother fucking bill and I'm ALL ABOUT those kind of sources after years of clickbait news

we the people have probably read more of any given proposed bill than the republican congress voting on it, how fucked is that?

Oh yes we are. The news has a short memory but we don't. F that guy.

Pretty much all I ever talk about, and its also all over the news, idk where you're taking shelter under.

Always appreciate more attention on it, tho, good work.

It does feel like that story just got moved from way too fast.

Well, Americans shooting each other is hardly news.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
