It's a way to push back against the algorithmic suppression to which we are subjected.

All right.

Let's kick it off with Meet the Depressed.

Good Sunday morning. As the war with Iran surges past the critical 60 day mark, gas prices are at

their highest point since the conflict began. The average price of gas is up 47% since late February, from $2.98 per gallon to now $4.39

per gallon. President Trump, who campaigned on a promise to lower prices, is facing growing pressure over the price spike as the war becomes as unpopular as the iraq and vietnam wars at their peaks

gasoline high other prices are way down but gasoline tight but when this is over you'll have a

world without a nuclear weapon with a rent when the war oh god it God, it's such a lame talking point.

When this is over, you'll have a world without a nuclear weapon for Iran, which never had nuclear weapons.

We shouldn't have a nuclear weapons program according to Trump's own intelligence agencies.

Exactly.

And this is the best he can do.

Go in front of people and just say, hey, we are bearing all this

hardship so we can prevent an outcome that was never even a possibility to begin with. That wasn't

even going to happen. Iran was not going to have nuclear weapon. And if anything, Iran might get a nuclear

weapon now because that's the only way to defend themselves from the unprovoked aggression that Trump launched.
