Bernie endorsed Hillary at the Democratic National Convention on July 26, 2016

The first time the AOC picture showed up on the Flats Fix bar website was July 29, 2016:

https://time.com/longform/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-profile/

quote:

Ocasio-Cortez had gotten her first taste of politics during college, as an intern in Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy’s office. By the time -Bernie Sanders launched his 2016 campaign, she was hooked. She volunteered to knock on doors for his campaign across the Bronx and Queens. “I had done grassroots organizing before,” she says. “But Sanders’ race was one of my first times where I crossed that bridge from grassroots community organizing to electoral organizing.”

She was a loving mole, lol

This is classically how the system corrupts people. Thanks to your paycheck or whatever else you decide its better for you to be there and wait for a better season than stick to your guns and perish. Such begins the long devolution from human to 'politician'.

People call you out on it and deep down you know they have a point so you lash out at them and ironically accelerate your own corruption.

remember when they got all of their chinese agents killed because they had their spies go to cia.gov to check in

Remember how in the 1940s an american submarine popped up to rescue one solitary crew member from a bunch of planes that got shot down? Everyone else got killed by their japanese captors (some cannibalized which came out during a war crime trial)

The rescued guy? The future head of the cia george h.w. bush

there have been some immensely successful CIA operations that occasionally surface. it is amusing to talk about the failures but there are some big time operations that they have pulled down.

slipping poisoned computer code into Soviet computer systems and making pipelines go bang is a good one.

Either

The CIA has gotten so spectacularly successful that we never hear of their more recent successes and their massive public failures like Venezuela, Bolivia, and China are hiccups.

or

They've sank into incompetence like the rest of the federal government.
