Tweets Of The Day -- Trying To Keep Up

#BunkerBoy gathers intel from the most reliable source possible -- "Fox and Friends" -- and tweets a distraction:

“I don’t see any indication that there were any white supremest groups mixing in. This is an ANTIFA Organization. It seems that the first time we saw it in a major way was Occupy Wall Street. It’s the same mindset.” @kilmeade  @foxandfriends  TRUE!

Telling:

Telling that the president feels compelled, yet again, to defend the honor of white supremacists. https://t.co/EDkysPof4T

Part of what's going on is the name ANTIFA sounds foreign, so there's this other-izing element at work in which Fox News has something to scare its viewers (into watching) with.

It's all just bargain-basement fearmongering, conspiracy theory horseshit.

Is Antifa part of Obamagate? Just trying to keep up.

This is how the most powerful man in the world communicates to the citizenry during a time of pandemic, economic calamity, and widespread civil unrest and violence: he tweets out a quote from a no-nothing Fox News host. This is embarrassing and just...SAD. https://t.co/4RPvwLMDKr

"Indications":

I met this guy Lafayette Park across from the White House before things really heated up last night. He wore a Hawaiian shirt, a symbol of right wing activists who hope to provoke racial conflict called "Boogaloo." He was aware of the meaning but insisted it was a coincidence. pic.twitter.com/0qSNKgRSyo

Reminder:

THREAD: President Trump says these protests are professionally organized and the result of domestic terrorists and anarchists. Based on my reporting on the ground today, the vast majority of people gathering outside of the White House are everyday Americans demanding change.

Finally,

You know, I always wanted to know what it would be like to simultaneously experience the Spanish flu, Great Depression, and 1968 mass protests while Andrew Johnson was president.

Pic Of The Day: #Bunker Boy

As protests spread in downtown Washington, DC last night near the White (Supremacist) House, the lights were turned out as demagogue and coward Donald "Very Fine People" Trump hunkered down, as we noted earlier in "Monday Reading," with nothing to say in contrast to a Presidential Joe Biden. The hashtag #BunkerBoy fits so well, as does the image that indicates "no one's home."
