    it’s more distraction to pile on top of the mountain of information overload they’re intentionally barraging you with as they eliminate the last few remaining shreds of what used to pass for “checks and balances” in the government. once they’re done at the federal level, they’ll move on to the states. congrats, you’re doing exactly what they want
