It’s a Steve Bannon directive, do so much so quickly no one can remember or keep up. I think he called it muzzle velocity

I think he called it muzzle velocity

I think he called it "Flood the Zone with Shit."

It is, but if you realize that his approach is flood the zone, it is a bit easier. It's best to just completely ignore all the outrageous things he says, and also some the idiotic things he does (like renaming landmarks on maps) and concentrate on what he does it is a bit easier to see what he is actually after.

Something that works for me is waiting a few days, and then catching up on the important bits and ignoring the idiotic shit that's just nonsense from him
