    It’s almost like it was a fake fight to distract from all the other shit going on. If only someone would have pointed that out to begin with.

      That’s wrong in this case, they absolutely do flood the zone as Bannon would say, but this isn’t that, Trump is known to burn bridges (look at his entire first administration with many in jail or just had a falling out) because Trump is Trump. I’m surprised Musk lasted 5 months

      Getting really sick of people saying everything is a distraction. They don’t give a shit, why would they? Would it have mattered if they didn’t do this? Everything they’re doing is insane and fascist. What does it matter if one insane fascist thing distracts from the other?

        Keep burying your head in the sand.

          Yeah okay, it’s always a distraction until it affects you. You guys said it was a distraction when Trump threatened to invade Canada/Greenland/Panama/etc but it doesn’t feel like a distraction when you live in one of those countries

          Also I’m not saying any of this shit isn’t fucked up. I’m just taking it seriously as should you

            I’m Canadian. That wasn’t a distraction. That was a act of war. A tryst between Trump and Musk doesn’t effect people, which makes it a perfect distraction. You’ve been conned.

            While talking about a fake fight that has no effect on you, look at what’s not being properly covered by the news that does effect you. You’ve been conned.

      Conspiracy bullshit. Sometimes narcissists fall out when their feelings get hurt and they’re likely to lash out. Not everything’s a “distraction”.

        I’ve been reading comments about how every single thing Trump does is a “distraction” for over 8 years now. No, he’s just a chaotic fascist moron.

          Yeah, people tend to give him way too much credit. Listen to the dude. He’s a fucking narcissistic idiot. There’s not enough going on between his ears to figure out where he’s going tomorrow.

            Not to mention, WE KNOW. We know he and his fascist enablers are destroying the country. Anyone who doesn’t know that now is willfully ignorant and no amount of “distracting” would make a difference.

        At this point the thought of everything being a machiavellian scheme is just less embarrassing than the thought of what’s actually going on.

          Why be embarrassed? Those idiots aren’t you. The fact that we have a messed up system isn’t your fault. You’re doing your best out here, just like the rest of us!

      I’m still waiting for the big event where they fight at Hell in a Cell.

      If you think of Trump politics in terms of pro wrestling, more things than you expect start to make a lot more sense.

        Why do you think Linda McMahon has a cabinet role? The real education she is managing is how to bring pain in the ring. This Sunday, at The Coliseum!!
