Yep. He is “flooding the zone with shit.” And it’s working, because American journalism still permits it to work. https://t.co/lqhQBHmNTh This is a careful and precise description. I recommend it.

I have also been warning about it for a very long time. But here we are.
Our media never learns
Trumps corruption is an ongoing enterprise, but it’s not presented by the media in that light.
Every member of the Trump family, every member of the Trump administration, and every elected Republican is incompetent and corrupt.
The latest episode of the ongoing corruption involves Secretary of State Mike Pence and his lovely second wife Susan (m.2000).
Apparently, Mike and Sue have been employing a “gopher” to “step and fetch it” for them at taxpayer expense.
Susan Pompeo also has an unauthorized security detail following her around.
IG Lisnik was investigating the Pompeo’s corruption and was fired from his job.
Pompeo asked Trump if he could, Trump said yes, and Lisnik was fired for doing his job.
Unfortunately we can’t rely on the media to investigate the rampant and open corruption we’re experiencing because the oligarchs have corrupted the media as well.
