Standing atop a seven-ton military truck with his wife, Vance watched the largest Marine exercise in a decade on Oct. 18, featuring F-18 and F-35 flyovers, parachute landings, Navy Seals swimming ashore, offshore destroyers and amphibious ships, simulated village explosions, and MH-60 helicopters dropping additional Seals over the water.-- all to distract attention from the massive "No Kings" protests happening all across the country.#nokings #nofacists #NoTrump @indivisibleteam @50501 @renewedresistance usatoday.com/story/news/nation

    This. They keep saying ignore the distractions. The net result is that no one says or does anything and the orange Hitler and his cronies continue doing everything they do. I swear, the 'ignore the distractions' line might just have come from the Rs, MAGA or even Putin himself. Traitors.
