1) Time for another episode of the Conservative Underground News of Twitter, with special thanks to my captive Twittwr cult member @TessHottenroth who I ply with offers of bourbon and snarky bullshit in exchange for research. The topic tonight: Goddamn Iranian Dams.
2) 'Iranian Dams? Damn, bro, whatchu talking 'bout?' Well, guess what Iran's 2nd biggest industry is after good ol' oil. If you guessed dams, well, damnitall, I shouldn't have given it away so quickly.
3) Iran is the 3rd largest dam builder in the freaking world, after China and Japan. Weird industry to get into, right? en.radiofarda.com/amp/iran-dams-…
4) Well, it TURNS OUT, that the major force behind Iran's damn construction (at one point a new dam was being inaugurated every 45 days) is the usual suspects behind weird Iranian shit, the IRGC.
5) YYYYYYUP. On top of being a paramilitary force parallel to the actual Iranian military, the Hydra-esque organization behind the worlds dangerous terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc, AND controlling a parallel banking sector akin to a ponzi scheme
6) They ALSO through a series of dummy companies and other such financial malfeasance are into dam building on a massive scale, giving them control of water AND energy resources in Iran. So not that weird if you realize they're the despotic arm of the regime.
7) aei.org/publication/ir… This dam construction spree was how the IRGC was able to spread its influence worldwide, using fronts like Khatam al-Anbiya building dams in far off nations like Nicaragua and Equador as an excuse to export IRGC personnel to those nations.
9) I dunno, should I tell them? It makes me pissed.
"Do it. Do it you blitzed fuckface. DO IT. I want you to. DO IT."
10) Fine. The dumbassed, boneheaded, ill conceived move of the CENTURY which gave Iran tbe ability to export its second biggest industry and allow the IRGC to continue worldwide infiltration and destabilization, bringing home hard currency to a sanctions-fucked economy....
11) reuters.com/article/us-ira… THE GODDAMN IRAN DEAL. THANKS @BarackObama FOR FUCKING US IN SO MANY WAYS WE'RE STILL HAVING UNCOMFORTABLE PAINS IN OUR ASSHOLES.
12) But WORRY NOT! See, for every winter, there is a spring, and for every spring, there is an uncomfortable ballsweat heavy summer where you'd rather die in a cold blizzard than spend another day under this goddamn sun.
13) See, as dam-happy as the IRGC is at building all those goddamn dams, mother nature herself decided to fuck Iran royal with a drought.

16) Side note, go rent hummers and do burnouts in parking lots and waste as much gas as possible. For freedom. Gotta help Iran break that record again this summer!
17) But on a slightly more serious note, this is about to go down right when Iran is facing issues of Iranian upoer class and regime officials are sending their money abroad as fast as fucking possible

19) (Remember when I said using your reserve currency to pay your security forces meant your currency was in for a bad time? Yeahhhhhh.)
20) And a Malta bank that was caught up laundering Iranian funds (going to South America. Go figure) has been completely shitcanned, trapping who knows how much Iranian money within it. theguardian.com/world/2018/mar…
21) Think this wasn't part of Trump's overall plan to deal with Iran? Then why did the FBI get involved right away in investigating the journalist killed in Malta? independent.com.mt/articles/2017-…
22) As I said earlier, for every winter, there is a spring, and for every spring there is a ballsweat hot ac is broken you have no ice and your sunglasses are broken summer. Mullahs are about to get theirs. /end

2) She transitions her answer over to the price of groceries. "So part of my plan includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries, including the work I will do dealing with price gouging." Oh yay. Price controls. She just doesn't say price controls.
3) She transitions again, mentions the cost of housing, floats her $25k down payment assistance. I mean, sure, I'll add $25k to the price when I sell my place to some sucker. This didn't help her the first time around when she pitched this, she ain't treading new ground.
I’mma channel my spirit animal @Peoples_Pundit and do a thread in why I’ve been giggling like a madman the past few weeks. Polls. Specifically, dumb polls. Specifically, WHY these Harris-favoring polls seem *rather dumb*.
ERMAGERD AN EMERSON COLLEGE POLL THAT HAS HARRIS WINNING BY 4.
People. Emerson College is part of the polling industry mafia. That they were showing trump up over Biden was just because they were part of the pack that were forced to go along with the very obvious trends.
Observe the polling from September and October of last year when the Trump edge over Biden was becoming apparent. Emerson was right there with Susquehanna, NYT/Siena, etc trying to put their thumb on the scales of the aggregate.
Basically, the entire Khashoggi story was hyped up by Turkey claiming that a recording of Khashoggi's murder in the embassy was caught on his apple watch and transmitted to his iphone that his girlfriend waiting outside had. This was accentuated by the MSM hyping up his watch.
Then, of course, I and several other people pointed out that Turkey's networks weren't compatible with the model of apple watch. Literally, it couldn't connect to Turkish cell networks. Suddenly, it became, "Oh, experts are skeptical, but we still totally know the Saudis did it."
Most of what I write isn't understood by most of the people who read it.
That's fine. I don't actually like most of the people who read my stuff. They're reactionary in the most reflexive and knee jerk sense, they're stubborn in ignorance, and they're far too trusting.
This isn't for them.
I can't even say who this is for because I don't know who's going to understand what I'm writing, and if they do then it would be unlikely and unwise of them to respond saying they do. That's fine. I think I truly understand where Thomas is coming from now. I'm doing this for me.
I despise you. I cant fucking stand you. You are the reason the McRib is never a permanent part of the McDonalds menu. You are the reason Sechuan sauce has never been brought back. You are appendix cancer. You are HIV personified.
“Here’s a troubling trend about how millennials started killing themselves.”
“LEL I BET IT WAS EMO MUSIC!”
Yes, clearly, there is NO COVARIANCE BETWEEN A GENERATION PRONE TO SUICIDE AND A SUBCULTURE UNIQUE TO THAT GENERATION THAT EPITOMIZED NIHILISM. NO COVARIANCE AT ALL. MHMM.
Every grave of a kid that died from substance abuse or suicide that isnt emo is a giant middle fonger to fucktards like you.
And no. It WASNT social media either you fucking larva brained imbeciles. This trend started two years BEFORE myspace’s heyday.
All the while I have been forgetting the third of my reasons for remaining so faithful a citizen of the Federation, despite all the lascivious inducements from expatriates to follow them beyond the seas, and all the surly suggestions from patriots that I succumb.
It is the reason which grows out of my mediaeval but unashamed taste for the bizarre and indelicate, my congenital weakness for comedy of the grosser varieties. The United States, to my eye, is incomparably the greatest show on earth.
