I try desperately to not succumb to #ScandalFatigue, but it's impossible. 😞
Something I heard on the radio this morning made me think:
"What happened to all those people who were crammed into undersized Detention Centers or deported to a Maximum Security Torture Center in El Salvador?"
Are they still there? The Media seems to have lost interest after #AbregoGarcia was brought home.

Actually, I think the answer is simpler than that:
@pvonhellermannn
"Incrementalism".
The sad irony of this most Israelis are unaware of is that this was the very excuse most Germans had after WWII of how they could go along with such atrocities being conducted in their name:
"It happened so slowly over time, we never saw it coming."
Sadly, I believe the same thing is happening here in the U.S. with #MafiaDon's criminality & abuses of power. #ScandalFatigue
(image: just FIVE MONTHS into T****'s FIRST term.)
#DonCapone avoids prosecution by committing SO many crimes, no one can focus on any one scandal long enough before they are distracted by the next one.
And thanks to #ScandalFatigue, he gets away with it.
#Democrats look hapless & inept, chasing each scandal the way 5 year olds play soccer (a cloud of children all chasing the same ball.)
I've often noted that the way #MafiaDon avoids prosecution is by committing a NEW crime to distract from his last one.
Now, am I wrong, or did fmr RNC spokesman Doug Heye just admit this during #FnS this morning? #ScandalFatigue

CORRECTION:
It USED TO BE that no president could "unilaterally create a new government department."
But now that his #SCotUS has placed him ABOVE THE LAW, impossible to impeach (or even INVESTIGATE) for violating the #Constitution b/c it might distract him from his job, there is literally NOTHING he can't now do (and you KNOW he's going to put that to the test EVERY. DAMN. DAY. UNTIL #ScandalFatigue settles in. That's his M.O..)

I keep wondering how someone like a #ConvictedFelon, #SerialAdulterer, #AdjudicatedRapist Mishandler of over 100 #ClassifiedDocs could *possibly* even be *competitive* as a candidate for president. 🤔
And much of it is both #ScandalFatigue mixed with the belief "If he were TRULY guilty, wouldn't he have been arrested by now?"
If #DarthTraitor manages to get re-elected, I blame #MerrickGarland (T**** should have been arrested and flown back to D.C. the *second* #Biden was sworn in.)
I've provided 118 examples of ("these people are nuts" level) #Weird & 125 examples of disturbing words, actions, crimes by #OrangeHitler and/or his #cult demonstrating #ReasonsNotToVoteForTrump, and just like with #TheOrangeMenace himself, I feel people have grown numb to this madness... much like the #ScandalFatigue that has allowed him to get away with so many crimes that... had a #Democrat committed them, the #GOP would have buried them UNDER the jail, not erected golden statues to them. 🤦♂️
@KimPerales
#ScandalFatigue is his best friend.
BTW: Gas fell to $2.59/gal here in #Houston this week (and will continue to fall as oil companies switch to their "Winter Mix" [more alcohol to prevent freezing increases the supply] come October.)
Nothing affect's people mood about the state of the economy more than gas prices. 🤔
UPDATE: $2.55 today/Monday.
@shoq
T****'s greatest political trick is #ScandalFatigue. When the Media starts focusing too much on one of his crimes, he commits a *new* crime to distract them.
