And now stop looking at them!
Yes, Mr Trump is dispersing chaff in his contrail to distract everyone. I saw it last night on Colbert: Annexations of Greenland and Canada came up, as did the extra-frothy ‘Gulf of America’ switcheroo.
They have the added advantage of distracting from Trump’s record as Lead Insurrectionist, but I think even that is not the primary goal.
As I wrote about here, Jack Smith’s report, due in to the DoJ and out to the press, but with Judge Cannon blotting her name yet more by an attempted interjection, and not mentioned by Colbert, is possibly the most important pressing matter on Mr Trump’s plate.
And the press should learn to ignore cute little squirrels and pursue the deadly ugly manatee that is trying to silently wiggle past them. Maybe just say, “Today, Mr Trump proposed make Syria into a colony of the United States. We laughed. In more important news, former prosecutor Jack Smith has said he’ll present his report concerning top secret documents retained by Mr Trump today …”
When it comes to top secret documents, I don’t have a lot of patience with patent irrelevancies like renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
