People who "play dumb" are doing nothing more than engaging in gaslighting techniques. Full stop. Don't listen to them. Call them out.

Only the media that are owned by billionaires can call them out. All we can do is absorb the media or protest

I mean, there's a good chance he actually is just dumb.

No, this is a pattern repeated by the entire GOP base. They. All. Follow. This. Same. Pattern.

It’s a weak ass spineless trick the Republicans have been playing since Trump taught them. He has normalized saying they don’t know about something they clearly should. Previously this would be viewed hugely negatively by the press and they would be called out. No longer.

I want to focus on the word “goon” for a moment and why that word is especially appropriate for so many men in Trump’s orbit/inner circle. Take a good, long, critical look at this guy Homan and yes, I mean his physical appearance. He is literally a “goon” in the sense that he is unusually ugly. I don’t mean like a “regular guy” or someone who does not meet the ideal standard of handsomeness. I’m saying he is objectively difficult to look at. He is frightening. When you imagine the boogeyman in the closet or the thing that is kept chained up in the basement, don’t you pretty much picture this guy?? So many of Trump’s closest male advisors fit this description! Steve Bannon? A genuinely unattractive, unpresentable man. Stephen Miller? Absolutely nobody’s definition of handsome or even average. I’ve nver seen a good picture of the guy. It almost seems like if you are a soulless, hateful, aggrieved sycophant that it shows in your physical appearance, not just your behavior. Rotten on the inside, rotten on the outside.

100% they’re all D*** Tracy villains with the weirdest shaped heads. Absolute goons.

Homan reminds me of Gizmo from the first Fallout game.
