Fugelsang: I talk a lot about "WTF-Fatigue" in the age of Combover Caligula. It's the never-ending firehose of WTFs,

designed to distract & fry our outrage circuits.

In one 5-day period:

1. Worst debate performance by any POTUS in history
2. Doubling down on racist, headline-grabbing lies abt Haitian migrants eating pets
3. 48-hr Laura Loomer psychodrama distraction
4. Petulant unmanly post against Taylor Swift
5. An assassination attempt, that actually wasn't

So the worst debate perf ever, less than a week ago, is already 5 WTF's ago; MSM has almost stopped covering it.

And that debate was a distraction from the horrendous Arlington story; now completely - and successfully - forgotten.

will reject trump. This 2nd attempt is not going to give him a boost. Most people are tired of the drama surrounding him. MAGA will always be MAGA. But he needs to win back the people that voted for him in 2016 and abandoned him in 2020.

I don’t see that happening. Not to mention, he and his running mate continue to piss off several demographics.

The Bannon Way. I wonder if Bannon is directing the orchestra from behind bars?

But then there are so many Bannon aficionados who needs the Master?
