      The only way it could be theater is if all three of them are world class actors who have stayed entirely in character for years.

      It’s simply far more likely that all three of them are, just ss they appear, thin-skinned, emotionally stunted manchildren, currently engaged in a schoolyard slapfight.

        Trump is a world-class actor who has stayed entirely in character for years. I could see the other two playing their parts at Trump and his merry band of miscreants’ direction. Remember. They need us to forget about gutting Medicaid (and Medicare), the billionaire tax cuts, the raiding of the public space for loose money so they can fund those tax cuts, and the imposition of a right-wing religious autocracy on us. Don’t lose track of that as you enjoy the entertainment this show gives you. That’s all I’m saying.

        PS: I do agree that they’re thin-skinned, emotionally stunted man-children, but they’re also conniving bastards, and they want you focused on the drama…

      Banning Bannon definitely took notes from Roger Stone. It will be interesting to find out what this particular plan is, eg which part of p 2025 this is advancing (past more fossil fuel dependency, while knowing they’re depleted).

        And that’s what they want you to think. They want you to underestimate them and focus on the public shitshow, while they quietly implement Project 2025 while you’re distracted by the slapfest they’re putting on for you in public.

        As I said above. They’re a bunch of conniving bastards, and until I start seeing real things like Elon explaining exactly how Clark County in Nevada was stolen from the Left, or Trump actually cancel SpaceX contracts, or Musk abducted by ICE agents and sent to El Salvadore, I’m going to continue thinking this is all a WWE plot designed to distract us from the shitshow going on behind the scenes.
