Are we being fed spoon full by spoon full - a Reality TV Presidency to keep us entertained and distracted,..

.. as we fall for their each and every scripted and theatrical scenarios coming at us machine gun style to keep us off balance, confused, and unstable as a society ?

Take a look at this analysis of the "assassination" attempt that occurred in Pennsylvania not too long ago.

Numerous "assassination" plots were also hatched there to boost his polling numbers there also. Team Putie and Team trDUMPee seem to be working from the same script, how odd is that ?

This is useful in some ways, but it draws the attention of the opposition into self-entertainment and away from the machinations of the truly evil.
Dawg knows I need some entertainment and letting off steam, but we MUST keep the pressure on Palantir and Thiel and Musk and...

Keep your eyes on the antics of the rodeo clown, not the oligarchs.
