Do not underrate the goal of Trump and Caputo. What they're doing is not political theater.

What they are doing are what Putin's GRU and FSB call active measures.

To mobilize white people through fear and "perception management" so that they fear and fight other Americans these guys call violent -- Democrats, antifa, liberals and Americans in general -- is Trump's goal for avoiding jail.

Trump is using Michael Caputo as his proxy, his disinformationist operative in "perception management."

Caputo's job is to be dogwhistle enforcer to trumphumper gunhumpers to go start shit.

Re today's news: the Trump regime plan is to call their militias and gunhumpers "left wing."

Before and after Election Day: Assuming they've succeeded in changing the public's perception of militias as "left wing," -- he thinks he will -- Trump will then use his militias' appearance as a pretext to send in actual National Guard and any other corporate militaries or CBP militaries or even THE military to start REAL shit.

This is Caputo's and Trump's plan -- to generally fuck up Americans' views of what they're planning so that they can actually fuck up the election.

They intend to change the latest polls that already show the public believing Biden is better at law & order than Trump.

Michael Caputo an Trump are Russia-funded Qanon dumbasses.

nightly news shows. Yes, he's the president, but to lead with everything he does as news? rather than Joe Biden? Gavin Newsom? Andrew Cuomo? ANYone in The House?

You mention Ari. I've gotten irked by not seeing enough of the LEGAL perspective on the news. He does it, but he could do it more over things like presenting laws around the post office, forest maintenance, governors' legal sovereignty, or even the meaning of partisanship, stuff like that.

I'm gradually getting away from news in the next 50 days, I think. Sure, I can sift signal from noise, but I don't think most people should subject their well being to horse race news presentations.
