One pilot of the plane and the crew chief of the helicopter have now been identified to the media. They are both white men.
Bannon called this strategy of Trump's (i.e. being an absolute baboon in every imaginable way possible) "flooding the zone." It's a way to have so much absolutely surreal stuff happening at once, that none of it can be properly covered in the media. This allows you to pepper opportunistic and unpopular smash-and-grab policies without raising alarms. Freeze federal funding, create a concentration camp in Guantanamo, nominate morons to high level positions, unleash child sex predators and violent criminals onto the public... etc. The only question is if Trump is a knowing part of the strategy, or if the strategy was kind of created because of how unhinged, unintelligent and chaotic he is.
It's been a few weeks, and feels like years.
(Crew chief, Ryan O'Hare. May he, and his fellow soldiers rest in peace.)
