Once again, we are left to guess what might be going on, with these latest attempted diversions?

I'm talking about the attacks upon peaceful protest by Donald Trump, aka President Tweeter.

His racist and divisive comments about the NFL and some of their players is beyond comprehension. But it's really not about football, or the NFL, or the players protest. It is not about using the legitimate protest as an attack upon our flag and our anthem. It is about using the flag and the anthem as a means to divide our people and our country.

But, why is he doing it? What is about to happen? Which shoe is about to drop?

Will we ever get to the truth?

What is going on..? Micro, you ask the right question...some os real, or a smoke screen, or both, intentionally, unintentionally chaos

macro....everything...
-trumper just 'wants'
-those that have almost all of it want the rest
-then the putin claque want--latvia, ukraine, estonia, lithuania, belarus, and on and on, which requires the destruction of western democracy,
which requires separating the us from europe and european countries from each other.
chaos...

china will soon have south america wrapped up, i think....

we're finished--- unless...........

As the posters below noted, it may be about the email stories breaking out of the White House? But, it may be something much larger?

At least six of Trump's closest advisers, Ivanka, Jared, Bannon, Preibus, Miller and Cohen, used private email for government business. It's likely there were more. Lock them up?
