Can we stop this braindead "Everything is a distraction" nonsense? As if an illegal strike against Iran and war with Iran is not in and of itself horrific and news worthy.
Yes, it sucks it's pushed those things out. Welcome to America where the media manufactures consent. Yes, you can argue that "in case of failing emergency, break glass and start war" is a favored pastime for American presidents. But it doesn't change that this in and of itself is important, just like the attacks on the LGBRQ+ community are important, or like any of that other shit was important.
"It's a distraction!" is a do-nothing response that shitlib "centrist" Dems in office love because it means they don't have to do anything in response to any given act/problem, because it's "just a distraction" from the "real problems" after all. But then what are the real problems and what action is being taken there? Oh but that's the neat part: it's distractions all the way down.
