I like how we all forgot about SS cuts too and the housing crisis we've been in since COVID. No worries tho we can all just starve and die cuz there's scandals to focus on! And forget about after 4 years of investigations with zero consequences like trumps 90 felonies.

gruntmusic.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s not that the oligarchic media is easily misled.

They are complicit. They are helping the administration find some -any- other story.

idiokratie.bsky.social•5 days ago

#Signalgate has served its purpose after a single news cycle.
Honestly until Waltz' Venmo thing dropped, I half thought the Natsec scandal might have been intentionally launched as
a distraction. Now I think it was just a lucky break. Autocracy windfall.

They want to turn the public’s head from the security issue -the public is the head but the press is the neck and the press can turn our head to any issue or away from any catastrophe

Dude, this piece of shit president blamed the death of 67 airline passengers on DEI and everybody forgot about it within days.

maggieshayne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nobody forgot. They just moved on to the next 30 disastrous things, and 30 more the next day, and so on. The human mind can only deal with so many crises at a time. And that's the point.

neevenoodle.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m still seeing a lot of stories about the signal catastrophe. I. Fact the press seem to be doubling down and reporting about the national security advisers Venmo still being public.

How about "complicity attention span media?"

Text STOP to unsubscribe from future war plan updates.

malibukitty.bsky.social•5 days ago

Everyone on the group text should be fired immediately and prosecuted, except the reporter.

vtgal.bsky.social•5 days ago

We knew there would be a distraction…

brooklynamerican.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe the Signal mess was orchestrated to get people to forget that Trump/Musk/Heritage is rapidly disassembling our democracy?

mrlky.bsky.social•5 days ago

He can not LEGALLY apply these sanctions and the press needs to do their job.

He does not have the authority by any act of Congress to apply these sanction that would stand up in court

kristendior.bsky.social•5 days ago

Its worse - the tarrifs, signal & ICE kidnappings all are a smokescreen as he plans to never leave as president by taking voter issues away from states. His new executive order removed a state drivers license as valid Id to vote in elections & DOGE is going to “purge” state voter registrations

kgbenefits.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is getting way too little attention. It's completely unconstitutional but red states will go with it & purge whoever DOGE lists as questionable.

It's going to give them a big list of possible voters to purge & my worst fear is that DOGE cross-references this against voters they like.

wendytkss49.bsky.social•5 days ago

😱

mxhrad.bsky.social•5 days ago

That order is meaningless. The federal government doesn’t control elections.

kristendior.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah they cant end USAID either, how did that work out? Or what the administration is doing to Maine right now? Ignoring this until 2028 will be a mistake.

mxhrad.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not “ignoring it,” but this is one case where he really has no power. Voting isn’t supported by federal dollars.

Only way he can force this is by sending the military to stop people from voting. Sure, red states will do whatever Trump tells them, but not the case with the other states.

noodle557.bsky.social•5 days ago

jazzrat2000.bsky.social•5 days ago

the world is like a Bluesky TL, everything scrolls by and disappears, soon. I feel there will be another scandal, maybe today.

dainty-bastard.bsky.social•5 days ago

They can seriously only juggle two or three things at once, and only then if it only has no moving parts.
Tepid, fluffy paste for news.

laurafrost.bsky.social•5 days ago

He is trying to detract from the scandal. Yet, he has been the biggest hot mess since he started this trade war.

websterzcat.bsky.social•5 days ago

The media has the read of much of the country as to attention spans.

corsair321.bsky.social•5 days ago

Only if you allow it.

eric81521.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s the plan, that’s always the plan!

arcstrike.bsky.social•5 days ago

What about the other guy....

mistermagic.bsky.social•5 days ago

There's no such thing as a distraction if everything's bad

rob772.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's quite a long attention spam for magats

draigen.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s the plan. Do some fuckery to take attention away from the people committing real crimes.

Keep in mind - this ENTIRE TIME we have been talking tariffs they have been:

- kidnapping citizens
- threatening judges
- trying to kill voting

Trump is the distraction. Focus on the others!!

gotoguy.bsky.social•5 days ago

They are starting to piss off the international press! So keep going morons!

belish.bsky.social•5 days ago

He puts in place a tariff (import tax) that will hurt Americans economically.

The EU and Canada threaten reciprocal tariffs. Truml threatens even more tariffs, because apparently only he gets to hurt the American people the worst?! It's so dumb.

mightytightywhity.bsky.social•5 days ago

Squirrel!

dc-757.bsky.social•5 days ago

This whole “Trump is pretending to be an evil moron to distract from the fact that he’s an evil genius” is as bad as claiming his eff-ups are 4-D chess.

lurkinlorkhan.bsky.social•5 days ago

What are you talking about? It’s still wall to wall on signal gate

saltyshawn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just another squirrel - trying to get us to look away

courtney01.bsky.social•5 days ago

Correction: goldfish attention span MAGA
goldfish attention span Congress

whereverlq.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was his second diversion. The first was the EO to put Trump in charge of proof to vote in the states. The third diversion was the announcement that $12 billion of aid would be removed from the states public health systems later last night.

whereverlq.bsky.social•5 days ago

This morning the announcement that HHS will cut 10,000 jobs was third. The longer Signalgate makes headlines, the more they will roll out their shocking cruelties.

pauldecampo.bsky.social•5 days ago

And further bury the outrage of killing innocent civilians

oldguy-4-democracy.bsky.social•5 days ago

The supposed master of distractions. Sounds like the tile of a song. You're welcome...

keil-d.bsky.social•5 days ago

We need to focus on Signalghazi, tariffs, and what the DOGEtards are up to all at the same time. What we need to add is stories of people, preferably Republicans, who are suffering from this evil administration's policies

The main stream media is in on it, they can not be trusted most of the time.

buckyrea.bsky.social•5 days ago

Flooding the zone with incompetence is just as valid a strategy as flooding the zone with distractions.

theexpat.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep outlandish tariff headline just to suppress signal chat fiasco

sassymaster.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or the gutting of our voting system and stripping people of Medicaid and undermining social security.

sheretired.bsky.social•5 days ago

It is Thursday. The end of his 20 minute work week. He sends his end of week deflection then heads to maga largo to host his shakedown events.

trucanpat.bsky.social•5 days ago

He's the master of distraction and confusion to make his problems go away. So he grabs Canada as a punching bag. We shouldn't allow that bullshit by giving attention or credit like the way Danielle and Pierre do.

kezmet.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's so easy to distract people who desperately want to be distracted.

easytoslip.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was the plan. Totally predictable, like clockwork.

cainethejust.bsky.social•5 days ago

It forced Canada's PM off the campaign trail

realeric.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or some other fuck up will come to light.

unreal-axabjay.bsky.social•5 days ago

like Sarah Kendzior says: he covers crime with scandal

so today he's covering criminal national security incompetence and negligence with scandalous economic policy

raechelg.bsky.social•5 days ago

Again, Harper-like.

unreal-axabjay.bsky.social•5 days ago

LOOK AT THE SHINY THING OVER HERE, EVERYONE

johnnymack619.bsky.social•5 days ago

I was critiquing the DNC yesterday, and how now is the time to kill that party & install a new one for the people! The hate I got was surprising since 10 Senators just sold us out to the fascist party! Like WTF?

jennipherb.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was my first thought too, distraction. SQUIRREL

jerryaulik.bsky.social•5 days ago

At this point we should pick our poison. I say ignore the tariffs. Hit him on 2 fronts - visa detentions and the classified scandal.

Let people feel the tariffs. They deduce on their own when the paycheck doesn’t go as far.

247newsroom.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's the strategy, keep bombarding, there's bound to slip some unchecked executive orders through the cracks, or, when they are finally repealed, it's way too late and the damage is already done.

darnukids.bsky.social•5 days ago

Flood the Zone is their Putin-inspired media technique following every major fuck up. Expect it.

You'll never believe this, but they literally are taking rights away from trans people & kidnapping people who were born overseas off the street for their political opinions, and then everyone forgot bc they texted a journalist about bombing apartments! (Oh no, its not the bombing anyone is mad at)

More like windshield wipers in a rainstorm….
Or watching tennis on fast forward?

It’s hard to keep up with Dumb Donald because he has no ability to follow a train of thought or a singular line of reason through to a conclusion.

scorpion233.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes. Because I want those eggs I was promised. You know, like my reproductive freedoms were more important than the price of eggs. America voted for eggs. Eggs are more important than national security, aren't they? That is what America voted for, eggs, not national security (all sarcasm).

wendytkss49.bsky.social•5 days ago

I need to see time lines for each of his proclamations. The threads are getting tangled

eoghan62.bsky.social•5 days ago

He also floated the idea of financial compensation for pardoned J6ers, presumably to distract from Signalgate.

draftingjaak.bsky.social•5 days ago

Except nobody's paying attention to the one minute on next minute off tariff scam anymore 🙄

beauch79.bsky.social•5 days ago

ignore the squirrels.

keep saying they risked our national security, fired +80k veterans, stopped death benefit payments to orphans, trafficked American citizens, stolen our personal info, & withdrew money directly from the bank accounts of SSA recipients.

don't be distracted. shout over him.

doyourresearch1.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's his plan. He's hoping to get SignalGate off the top of the news feed.

He plans to sign some more EO's today in a effort to change the narrative to something other than SignalGate.

The more outrageous the EO's the better his chances.

justhavinfun.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. We're all cats chasing the laser light.

hard2phathom.bsky.social•5 days ago

His entire tenure is an unprecedented national security scandal. Until Congress or SCOTUS does their job, they will continue to destroy our government without consequences.

tonysomo.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s surprising that the media and folks who should know better can’t see through this move.

sherryll.bsky.social•5 days ago

They can, but they won't admit it.

thoughtfulpolitics.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tariff distraction is just the back up plan in addressing the security leak. The main plan was already in place: Republicans getting more exercise for their shrug muscles.

mdaltonp.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's calculated. Trump learned from his first term that if he floods the zone with chaos, nobody can keep up with it all. It's hard to focus on one catastrophe when there are three more coming up.

hurricanegirl.bsky.social•5 days ago

Narcissistic crazy making.

schzzrf.bsky.social•5 days ago

Leading the 9am top of the hour coverage on both CNN and MSNBC. What media are you referring to exactly?

nominish.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nope. I don’t give a flying fuck about his tariffs. Only people that have money do. The rest of us already know how to survive without it.

ladygee.bsky.social•5 days ago

We MUST comment retweet and like everything we see on this today. Stay loud or they'll skink off. It's our safety at risk

carpederpum.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just checked CNN USA. 19 articles, in which the national security scandal is in 1 titled "5 things you need to know for March 27". The other 4 things are unrelated.

roddlyyours.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s not “just do a tariff.” He is destroying the North American auto industry. It’s an attack on Canada.

liquidskye.bsky.social•5 days ago

But they haven’t realized that the American people are starting to wake up and pay attention and not forget. Uh-oh there’s the word woke. People see that that’s what the word woke means you realize when something’s not right . Because you’re staying informed educated woke.
