Has The Trump Administration Stopped Fighting The Jan. 1 Deadline For Accepting Trans Military Recruits? My look at the lack of a #SCOTUS filing and silence from DOD and DOJ on that question this past week:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/has-the-trump-administration-stopped-fighting-the-jan-1?utm_term=.lxQrwjg6N …

The trans ban was a distraction. Papadapoulos was arrested at the exact same time Trump was using trans lives as cannon fodder.

That's just not true. The reasons why it came up have been thoroughly discussed elsewhere and, in any event, Trump's tweets were almost two days ~before~ Papadopoulos' arrest.

You’re forgetting the ubiquitous WH strategy of giving a huge signal boost to whatever mild-to-moderate controversy has been on the backburner to distract from unfavorable news events.

You mean, an arrest that no one knew about? Um, no.

You haven’t come close to refuting either of our points.

Yes, I have, Derek. There is no "point" to refute. Ryan presented a counterfactual. It just isn't true. And your "analysis" of White House "strategy" is something I've often dismissed. You don't even follow me, so I feel no obligation to go through it with you personally.

You’re misrepresenting both of our points. Either you’re too dumb to understand, which is obviously not true, or you’re fiddling with semantics to prove an inconsequential point.

I'm not, Derek. And, I'm done with you. Have a good day; I'm sure Seth Abramson has a thread for you. That's not my thing.

Sounds like a mutually palatable outcome.
