First Rule Of Holes

So Vance has now escalated this to of course the Trump campaign hooligans were right to attack the cemetery employee. pic.twitter.com/iPI75e4ksv

Yell at everybody walking by and say "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT???!!!!????"

Whole incident shows the lack of values among the core people in Trump-Vance campaign. Normal thing to do is reach out to the employee and apologize on behalf of the campaign that staffers became violent when the employee was just doing their job. That's what normal people do.

Second best response:  "WHO YOU CALLIN' 'WEIRD'???"

I love the talk of "normal people" when discussion Trump and his entourage. It's so....jarring and out of place. And shit, it just gets fucking worse:

Hey @JDVance, it’s against federal law to to turn a visit to @ArlingtonNatl into a political ad like Trump did and posted it on his TikTok pic.twitter.com/TWBYTO0u6S https://t.co/IDmB8G8Y57

But it's on TikTok, so no one dare mention it in the MSM.

How many Times think pieces and narrative setting Arlington pieces will there be? Incident certainly raises a lot of hot button issues. Seems ripe.

If I hold my breath, I'll pass out first.

Get the distinct impression that there's something specific about the visual of this attack that the Trump camp thinks is very damaging.

I'm guessing that TikTok is the only video we're going to get.

This is the way. To not dig a hole, to not punch the tar baby, to not feed the troll. May it be a prelude to the debate on ABC. Let Trump rant. Point and laugh. And make your points. In fact, Kamala just smiling and making her points would do all the damage one could hope for.
