Every time anyone bothers to talk about it is less time talking about the real shit going on - Pompeo and secret arms sales to Saudi Arabia, FEMA stealing and Kushner grifting medical supplies, the Senate ignoring calls for more aid while they plan to push through judicial appointments instead, what the heck Bill Barr is up to, Lindsey Graham's latest kangaroo court antics, and on and on.

trump is waving a big shiny "LOOK HERE!" sign and every single thread (of dozens in less than 24 hours) about his latest lie plays right into WHAT HE WANTS, which is to talk about the lie and not the important stuff.

Why are you doing what he wants? Stop it. Please.
