Not joking - distracting by saying something so outrageously stupid that people talk about "that outrageously stupid thing he said" instead of talking about 150,000 dead Americans due to Covid, the tanking economy, millions unemployed, Russian bounties on American troops, etc.

How would they be able to do that as you suggest ?
How does anybody start a media network? Do your market research & pour in lots of $$$.
OANN is one of the latest ones. Started up in 2013, rose to prominence when Trump started bashing FNC.
OANN compares to Fox as Fox compares to MSNBC.

The Black Goat in the JW Covid-19 Report - 2020 Governing Body Update #5

Additionally, if you look at the picture on the wall behind the GB member, you will see a hand with five fingers. The thumb cannot be seen which would make six fingers.
Yeesh! That just doubles the freakiness.
This is from the guys that put rich symbolic meaning into every corner of every drawing or photo used in every Watchtower study (and expect the WT study conductor to draw out every nuance from every photo during the study).
Again, I think the occult insinuations are a bit out there, but still....why intentionally & prominently display a giant black
goatibex head and an image of a six-fingered man? -

As I understand it, late July is when the political parties start getting results from top-top-level professional pollsters, the ones who get paid large sums of money to produce very accurate polls (which are generally not released to the public).
July / August is when, if necessary, big campaign changes are made.
As an example, It was August 2016 when Bannon / Conway replaced Manafort as Trump's campaign manager.
My best guess, in addition to my previous post about the "get people talking about Trump's latest outrageous statement instead of say, 150,000 dead Americans from Covid or the economy contracting at an unimaginable rate or not bothering to even mention to Putin about the Russian bounties paid to the Taliban for killing American soldiers"....
...is that team Trump saw the "real" and far more reliable poll numbers, saw that if things remain as they are now, Trump will lose by 200 or more electoral votes, not to mention the popular vote by 10-12%. I.e., likely the most humiliating loss by a candidate since 1984, and the most humiliating loss by an incumbent since Jimmy Carter in 1980.
So, team Trump's "strategy", for lack of a better term, is to try to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election, mainly so that when they lose, they can spin it into "See? We told you it was fixed" and then start up their own "b*tch about the damn liberals" media network and make gobs of money....
(Which, I think, was their real strategy in 2016. I don't think anyone on their team seriously expected to win)

Yeah, I saw that and found it striking.
They could have filmed this guy from any room and from any angle, but chose to have a giant black goat's head dominating the frame.
I think "demon worship" is a bit over the top, but it certainly is an odd choice.

Care packages from "The Branch"
by DwainBowman ini'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.
i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".
funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

Yes, the elders are telling the publishers to view these boxes of vegetables as "Jehovah's loving provision"!
Apparently, Jehovah motivated the US Congress and the USDA to act:
https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2020/04/17/usda-announces-coronavirus-food-assistance-program
I thought Jehovah didn't get involved in political affairs....no wait, it's that he is using only one organization in all the earth today....no wait, that's not right....give me a sec to figure out how this is "Jehovah's loving provision"....

From the "bleedin' obvious" department:
What did Trump start tweeting horse pucky about "delaying elections"?
Here is the reason:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/us-economy-gdp-report-second-quarter-coronavirus-11596061406
U.S. Economy Contracted at Record Rate Last Quarter; Jobless Claims Rise to 1.43 Million
If everybody is talking about "delaying the election", no one is talking about a 33% drop in GDP, and the primary thing Trump planned to campaign on was the economy.

For those of you who won't be triggered or have their eyes melt by reading tweets from a <GASP> UC-Berkely law professor, here is more detailed info:
https://twitter.com/Teri_Kanefield/status/1288829827806408704
Short answer: Constitution says the president's & vice-president's term ends on January 20, 2021, If no elections have been held by that point, Speaker of the House assumes role as president.
I.e., options are (1) hold the election or (2) welcome President Pelosi.
I.e., this is just more bluster.
I like this quote from that thread:
He invents a new crisis with the intention of sending everyone into a panic. It works. Every single time. Predictably, people go into a panic spin. Trump pushes your buttons and you respond.
