That’s the point of his bad news smokescreen. There was such turbulence in the media throughout his entire presidency that the majority of the real damage he has done was only noticed by people who actively seek out information. It’s a brilliant way to obfuscate his agenda from the eyes of the passively informed.

Its the Russian stratagem. Flood the air waves with anything and everything. Call what’s true false and what’s false true. Now consensus reality no longer exists.

I guess I’m going fully red-string crazy because yeah, we’ve been under a russian propaganda storm for years now and like… why does the cia just let them? I think we have to recognize that the global information apparatus is allied against the ignorant public, their mutual targets.

Because we were already in one of the hugest propaganda storms in human history, and the Russians just started using the American apparatus effectively.

How can the secret service let a 20y/o survalence a presidential candidates campaign site; see the guy with a view finder scope out the building your snipers are in; then let him grab his gun and climb in the building you are in?

Our law enforcement is about as useful as a pool noodle.

Spend some time looking into true crime. Crimes go unsolved not because the murders are geniuses. 9 out of 10 our law enforcement is incompetent.
