A man you can bait with a Tweet

So who wants to try and explain to him that we aren't that interested in the fact that the family is "close"?

 

 

 

 

Doesn't the fact that they're close make Jr's e-mails worse for Sr? lol

Puppets on a string. Sad!

Not a puppet! You're the puppet!

He really is going to keep going down this path.

Hmmmm, your kid tweeted the story dude.

 

 

And then - we're "presidential" with our attempts at distraction:

That last tweet is just a subtle cattle prod to the base, and they're reading it, "Fear the brown people!" ISIS is a convenient bogey man - scary, but distant and not capable of hitting American shores yet. But they hit Europe, and that makes major headlines in America, and keeps the base afraid.

 

MS13 has been in operation in America for decades, but you're only just now hearing about it being a huge problem. Most of the base has no idea who they are, other than that they're a brown-skinned gang, and they do scary things. They're no different today than they were ten or twenty years ago, they're not goingi to be kicking in your door anytime soon, but they're a good specter to keep you vaguely afraid and listening to Trump/State Media so you constantly hear how they're keeping you safe at night.

And I mean, how bad could Jr. be? He's a handsome, wealthy, white guy.

ISIS' demise was also set in motion by the Obama administration. They did exactly what the American people have been asking them to do for decades. Assemble a coalition of middle eastern countries together to fight for themselves so the US didn't need to put more boots on the ground. But even the media barely touches on that aspect.

In other words....

 

"Don't let them kick me out of office because of my idiotic son (who is totally innocent) or MS13 is going to take over the country and kill all of us."

Day 245 in office, that he won and his only defense for any of his criminal acts is "but what about Hillary".

[NM11046]

The best ever. Please visualize him actually sitting in his robe, at 9:43 am DC time, typing this.

Friendly reminder that Whataboutism was a favorite propaganda technique of the Soviet Union and is still used frequently by Putin and the Kremlin to this day.

It's almost like Republicans have to be consistently afraid and angry to support the policies of their party.
