She has that condescending, "Now quiet down, children," kind of laugh.
It's like she thinks it's all baseless, silly banter, and she'll set everyone straight once she waves them off and starts talking.
It's not just the cackle, it's also the false air of superiority behind it.
If they were going to distract, I don't think they'd do it with an own goal as devastating as the Afg clusterfuck.
Bigger story, I think, is that good guys got inside the Bidan group messaging machine. I think this was designed to dump the blame as a product of the Trump crew, but the good guys boomeranged it.
What's happening to the Bidan team is what was planned to happen to the Trump team.
I think it has something to do with the 911 20th anniversary. Bidan group wanted Trump out of the picture by then. Trump very likely knows stuff. He was basically at ground zero from day one and will loom big on the anniversary. Rudy, too, which might be why SDNY pulled the shit on him that they did, when they did. Trump warned Bidan not to tie in the 911 anniversary to anything Afg, too.
Good sign, though, IMO. MSM can't help Bidan because they know there's more coming and need to get some distance from the exploding pile of shit when it goes boom.
German Chancellor election in a few weeks. Merkel's CDU not as strong as usual. She can't afford a German civilian death at this point.
I get the idea there is a lot of unspoken AfD support in D. People figuring, warts and all, AfD is the message that needs to be sent. No one will say that publicly, though.
Alsao getting the idea that when Merkel talked to Bidan a few days ago that was topic #1. Don't think Bundeswehr equipment is up to snuff and she told him to provide the hardware she needs and get out of the fucking way otherwise.
