The never ending concocted distractions by putins and trumps are trying to take our focus away from their real agenda of making us forget to pay attention to what really matters. With just 3 thousand shy of one million dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine and a legislative bill that will rot the heart of our democracy are in play right now with little attention on either. For putin it is imperative that the one million number not reach his citizenry even though he has a tight grip on the news that enters Russia. If the Russian people actually knew the real cost of his invasion into Ukraine they would sack his ass in a heartbeat.
For trump his very tenuous position is that with the Los Angeles contrived chaos he hopes to not only neuter Governor Newsom but work behind the scenes in D.C. to get his lifetime appointment to president bill passed into law. He just needs 50 votes in the Senate and although there are 53 republican senators even enough of them know the bill is a monstrosity to democracy. He is almost in position to get his 50 votes but is better helped to do it with no one looking. Instead the focus is on ICE raids by his thugs pretending to be agents. What we the people have to do is multitask like trump is and do more than two things at once.
We are all headed into modern day uncharted waters. There is no escape for us to find a safe harbor without the dynamic of current events changing. How that happens and what form that takes is yet to be determined but if a course change is not navigated our democracy will surely crash on the rocks of finality. The inmediacy of our ability to pay attention to what matters most is upon us and we will fail if we cannot give our all right now regardless of the subterfuge trumps are employing. We will all swim together or we will sink separately. We will see how and if we save democracy.
