Today the CIA gang-stalkers said I'm supposed to get drunk and hit on cashiers. Be friendly at least. Hard. Can't do what the cross-talkers said to do in a Demonstrative Performative Transmission; just talk. Oh what I'd do today? Oh well, y'know, my CIA life partner is in the hospital as part of his ploy to defraud the government in which he shoe-horned my help in this matter by having me report honestly at how he is manipulating me just as he manipulates doctors. Oh, and I wrote a poem. Jacked off once. Wrote 2k words in that true story of me getting taken advantage of by the cult. God talked to me again, he said...what? American Gladiator? You watched that all weekend? Oh, I see you have the full capacity to empathize with me. Better open up about how I like my sister's feet. And this is what I live with. Never good enough. Dad beat tf outta me. Shit in my soul. Won't even talk to me now. Not good enough. Well, all you fucks are gunna feel my wrath in Heaven.

Yes I know I used ai but I am required to use so many tokens per day.

CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) was asked whether all the controversies surrounding US Senate candidate Graham Platner mean he doesn’t “pass the character test.” Murphy offered a subtly radical answer: “Character involves standing up to people who are bankrupting and corrupting this country.” It was an echo of Rep. Ro Khanna, who credited Platner with “having the character to stand up against the war in Iran, against genocide, and against an unfair & lopsided economy.”

What’s radical here is that Murphy and Khanna are suggesting the possibility of a new political reality, one that I think the affluent class of New York and DC media and political elites literally cannot process: A reality in which many voters are so economically pulverized and politically disillusioned that they now define “character” in a politician solely as whether or not they are single-mindedly focused on destroying oligarchy and ending corruption.

...

After all, if the last few depressing decades have led you to the understandable conclusion that almost everyone in politics is corrupt and disgusting, then come election time, you are going to be more likely to support whichever politicians you think will most blow up the entire system in the way you want it blown up — regardless of whether you think they are “good” or “bad” people on an individual level.

^ Centrists and the general consultant class of the DNC are violently unable to believe this is how the majority feels to the point that they handed power over to outright fascists in order to prevent progressives winning on a platform that messaged to this sentiment in a visionary, positive way. It would have publicly proved what we already know, they are irrelevant and terminally obsessed with a vision of the past that does not exist any longer if it ever did.

The New Jersey Democrat laid out how the U.S. had allowed Iran to sell an estimated $10 billion worth of sanctioned oil to China and then promised to further alleviate sanctions in return for releasing highly enriched uranium and committing to limiting its enrichment capacity.

“And that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, that the president and you vilified President Obama for having,” Booker said. Of course, Donald Trump’s deal is even worse than Booker says, as it reportedly includes a $300 billion investment fund for Tehran, in the event that a deal is reached.

$10 Billion to $300 billion. ART OF THE DEAL!
