I know what you mean. We should not be telegraphing our punches. They should surprise & disorient.
Unfortunately, most politicians like their 15m of fame.
Almost perfectly reliably, none of this stuff ever amounts to much. If it was powerful stuff, it needs no introduction.
Hence, I think this is weak tea.
I pray I am wrong!
We need to get a lot smarter than we are if we are going to go up against a political operation like the one the bent axel runs. He has our every move pre-programmed long before we make them.
