    Why does it seem like everyone on my “side” is always centuries and eons late to all these realizations? Like no fucking duh. This “nonstop news making” is a famous Russian disinformation technique that we’ve known about for years! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

    It’s pretty obvious what he’s doing, but the media absolutely cannot help themselves in amplifying everything he says. And you can’t really blame them. When a president says he’s going to overturn pardons issued by past presidents, you have to report that as major news. Even if he says it and isn’t serious or is just trying to keep the spotlight on him and away from something else.
