White House To GOP: Only One Way Around Defense Cuts — And You’re Not Gonna Like It

[woo me with science]

30. You feign surprise, of course,

as though this weren't wholly, utterly predictable. As though many of us didn't predict it here, months and months ago.

Of course you recall correctly that it was supposed to be a done deal. But we knew that was a farce. They think we are too stupid, and they know we are too helpless, to do anything about it. So now we will have another round of Kabuki theater "negotiations." What a fucking charade.

We are owned. We have corporate-owned leaders now, not representatives, and they will implement the agenda of the one percent while putting on a pretty play so that we thank them for the further soaking we will receive.

We need to follow the money. We need to be honest. This is not a matter of fighting over ideology, or the blue team versus the red team. It is a symptom of the diseased structure of our political system, which runs on money. The profit of the one percent is in the Military Industrial Complex, so the Military Industrial Complex must be preserved. It is as simple as that. And these charade negotiations, these lies, will continue as long as we permit our government to be sold to the highest bidder.

How outrageously insulting this theater is. What utter garbage they feed us, over and over again.

Occupy, because we have been sold. These theater tickets are garbage. We desperately need something real now.
