I usually stay clear of posting political posts, but this presidential election season just keeps on giving and giving and I wanted to get ahead of the avalanche of propaganda from both sides that we are all about to be subjected to. Today everyone is being nice, but you can practically hear the whir of the spin doctors' brains on both sides as they try and come up with angles that will help their side. I am quite sure Thomas Matthew Crooks will be the person of the week. He may even be bigger than 'Hawk Tuah Girl' by Monday! He is pretty much a blank page so far. A registered Republican who looked like a Berkeley Radical from the 70's, who donated $15 to a Democratic PAC, almost no social media presence, a loner nerd in high school no one can remember, etc. So many templates could be laid over him.

Applied physics is a funny thing. Crooks went from Trump's worst day at the office to his most important propaganda tool within the space of an inch. This picture with the bloody ear and the Mussolini fist bump is a priceless propaganda image. Crooks for sure should be buried in at least a MAGA Cap and the Trump's Gold tennis sneakers. On the surface it would appear that Trumpers will have an easier time profiting from this event than anti-Trumpers, but we will all know for sure next week. Never underestimate the skill of a good beltway spin doctor. They are the ones that really run the show.
