Because you must get your enemy to expend ammo. Trump has been hyping this as the biggest announcement in 100 years. Only thing that big is declas. But he gets more response by making them THINK he will declass, vs actually declassifying.
Temper expectations. Severely temper them. Those who have been around as long as I have been thru this exact, same, song and dance multiple times before.
Anyone who thinks DT will drop the hammer and expose all tonight hasnt read enough. We are no where near the precipice. Normies are still getting moar boosters.
Very true... but... because he has tricked them so many times, it could be that this trick is the real thing. To me, that would be Trump's style... in your face and you thought I was bluffing again.
I guess we'll find out. Your point is well-taken, and I am prepared for both.
What about the time he was gonna tell them if Obama was a citizen or not? Introduced his entire cabinet during the election all free. Then said. Yeah , I believe he's a citizen. Took away their next story and got millions in free adverts. They were pissed, and they never learned from it.
Maybe that happened because Obama was born in Hawaii. People do get born there from time to time, can confirm.
Hawaii is one of the 50 states?
No shit.
: )
Hey, to be fair, for thousands of not millions of living Americans, it wasn't always. During the pandemic I made a living caretaking for a Japanese nonagenarian from Hawaii, and it taught me that any history within an extent person's lifetime is really current events. She remembers the campaign for Statehood and how for the first few cycles the factories would shut down on Election Day so the people could go vote "for one of our own people instead of the Governor from the mainland". When she was born, Hawaii was only recently no longer under Hawaiian sovereignty.
The really wild thing is TV - she was a teenager when TV debuted, and in her twenties before it was widespread. So she had a fully developed brain and understanding of the world before TV entered it. And then it was always TV... Until it suddenly wasn't. It was cheaper for us to have just internet and stream stuff, and it was flat out impossible to get her to understand that TV is no longer something that you turn on and it just goes. Now TV is something where you have to keep making decisions about what you want to watch. It has basically completely transformed into a different type of user experience. One closer to a salad bar than a feeding trough. So for her, she basically saw the entire lifespan of Television, before it was subsumed by the Internet.
A reminder to us that all castles are sand castles, and time is the endless sea.
