Some fucken fucker started a war to distract you from them!

The war helped as a distraction but the primary reason is the media being owned by the Epstein Oligarchy.

State media now runs the news cycles.

Oh boy, if only we weren’t distracted, we would have jailed all of them by now maddened

Not to mention that the republifucks bought out control of all the major news networks so they could turn them into propaganda machines!

Don't forget about primary-ing the biggest Republican proponent of releasing the Epstein files out of office (Thomas Massie).

The only good thing about that is he’s still there to do a lot of damage in his last days!

Nothing wrong have happened even if the war in Iran hadn't started. It's not like simply paying attention to things in the news makes anything happen.

It's also insulting to dead Iranian children to say this is simply a distraction. No, this is the mechanisms of American empire operating how it always has. This isn't some particular case or bad actors, a war with Iran has been cooking since 1979, and the exact preconditions for this war were in fact established by Joe Biden and his refusal to cease weapon shipments to the Zionist Entity. Every single president since Carter has taken an entirely hostile attitude towards Iran and a far more forgiving attitude towards Israel with the intention of engineering these exact circumstances.

This is the machinery and it's how it works.

it's a distraction from ICE, and the ICE surge was the distraction from the files.

much like democrats would have attacked iran but not in the specific stupid way that trump has, i think it's reasonable to conjecture that trump has been partly motivated by the news cycle and would have done different specifics if he wasn't constantly eating shit in other domains.
