Deflection and diversion....



When caught in a wrong doing instantly go on the attack. Accuse someone else of doing the exact thing you did with utmost confidence. Make the other side feel like they have to defend themselves - because then they can’t keep attacking. Smear everyone who may know the truth. Smear early, smear viciously, and smear completely. Turn the victim into the culprit. Make the abused the abuser. Whip your flying monkeys into such a state that they will willingly claim black is white, up is down, and claim anyone who says differently is out of their minds.

It’s so by the book it’s boring... except it continues to work.

I despise this administration.....
