like chaotic theater to distract eyes away from more serious matters. Of course it feeds Trump's base which then feeds his ego, but it seems really designed to eat up time on the news cycle this Thursday through Saturday and that makes me wonder what isn't receiving as much coverage.

And I keep coming back to Tillerson as central to that, which is why I've been posting more threads on his doings of late.

I was aware of his connection to Russia and the likelihood of the Russian sanctions being undone under him. Also think drilling at ANWR is on their list.

Didn't know about the other stuff.

Wow.
