"Covfefe"

[Michie]

Seriously? Typo or huge mystery as the media are trying to make it?

(Aka, Trump on Twitter before sleepy time.)

I'll go with deliberate and intentional distraction aimed at wasting other peoples' time and subverting attention to things of greater importance like, oh, the Paris climate "deal" and/or the Russian interference/collusion charges for two. Yeah, I'll go with that.

I'll bet some whip-smart staffer thought it up.

I advise everyone to occasionally spend some time where you completely disconnect yourself from the media. Spend a couple of days where you don't watch the news, don't read the papers, don't go into political forums, don't gossip with your friends on the topic and so on. Don't worry, you can always catch up on what you missed afterwards, so you don't lose much by doing this.

The reason that I advise this is that you'll inevitably find when you come back that there is some new huge scandal which seems completely banal and pointless. Without the constant media hype to prepare you for it, you'll find it completely mystifying why anyone would care about such a thing, but much to your disbelief you'll find wall-to-wall coverage.

This "covfefe" thing is a prime example of that. I haven't watched the news since Monday or so and the more I read about this the less I can believe that anyone would care about it.

That is good advise. The deliberate distractions not only keep us from looking at external issues but also from the internal which is the most important. Not only the "news" but "TV"/movies/sports... all of it deliberate distractions used as mind control tools to keep us complacent and docile.
