The President* Really Used Ever Facet of His Stable Genius Here
"I watched, he fell harder than was pushed."
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
JUN 9, 2020
Ever have one of those mornings where donating your brain to a fly-by-night medical school seems like the best option you have? Ever have one of those mornings where you are convinced that the president* already has done so?
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
My understanding is that Gugino is a longtime activist with the Catholic Worker movement in and around Buffalo. Dorothy Day, currently on her way to being declared a saint, was the mother of Antifa. Who knew?
Now, the most scarifying thing about the president*s tweet is that his source was the batshit insane One America News Network, the refuge for those paranoid shut-ins for whom the Fox News Channel has gone mushy. The television piece, sourced to that ever-respectable Conservative Treehouse blog, was narrated by someone named Kristian Rouz, identified by media reporter Matt Gertz as also being in the employ of Sputnik, one of the official Russian government manure factories. For his part, Rouz sounds like the robo-voice of a Russian mattress company. But I would like to point out the part of the tweet in which the president* uses every facet of his stable genius and every corner of his really great brain.
I watched, he fell harder than was pushed.
No kidding, Sherlock. Sir Isaac Freaking Newton proved this back in 1687. Jesus H. Christ on a slide rule, somebody get the net.

You set me right. I was believing what my eyes saw. Did he have a baggie of blood too?

Yes, he must have had a baggie of blood, cleverly placed in his ear to burst at the moment his fake head fake bounced on the concrete pavement.
That is far more believable than the idea that the cops shoved a 70+ YO man to the ground.
