AOC and Clinton gave very powerful speeches! Both were on top of their game and reigned supreme!

Hi Brian, I bought the book shameless, I watched class with Jamie Ruskin on your YouTube channel and I follow you here on Substack. I want to have faith, that all I have left. But I don’t believe that trump will be sentenced I. September. He has gotten away with everything he has done. I want to believe. I really do.

He may not be sentenced in September, but his real sentence will come when he is soundly beaten in November. With the election out of the way, the justice system will finish him off for the many other crimes he has been indicted for. Keep the Faith!!

Not only do you get to be a part of the amazing atmosphere and indulge in some rather inspiring speeches at the DNC, "Shameless" is now on the New York Times bestseller list! I hope you're having a terrific week. Look after yourself and enjoy every minute, Brian. You deserve it.

Not cogent, losing it, never having had it, hmmmmm, could this be what's going on in Trump's weird mind?

"The big box that I’m in is to win. That’s really all I see. Everything that comes up goes on the gameboard of how I come out on top. It’s just the way I am.

"You know about telling a big enough lie? That sounds so tame. I don’t evaluate based on lies and truth. It’s not my objective. And I do see how well it works to have the lies get bigger and bigger.

"My objective is to win. I’m off the charts in that regard. I don’t even really know what love is. But to be honest, it doesn’t matter to me. It would get in my way. And I see the principles of fairness, but they create pawns for me, little people in my game, to be swatted away. And I can’t get too stirred up by those apocalyptic things, since they don’t figure to kick in while I’m still here.

"I want whatever I want when I want it. Even that isn’t the biggest truth. Winning is even bigger. What is that about me? It just is. Like I have skin. I didn’t like growing up, and the winning thing just kicked in. It wasn’t even life or death. It just was.

"I’ve gotten so good it. It gets easier and easier, where I’m kind of riffing in it now. I’m saying weird things that I’m letting myself do stream of consciousness, or some stream of something, and I stay excited seeing the fuss I stir up in the newspapers, on TV, the funny skits and parodies, I am omnipresent. Oh god, it is so sweet.

"You know, you only live once, and to just keep slobbering along as a winner suits me fine."

Hitting a new low when it comes to misogyny, racism and dirty campaigning:

Brian - I love your statements and analysis. But please talk about Israel/Gaza and how this issue may undermine Harris's election. We need to pressure her. People are furious about the munitions to and impunity of Israel. Thanks
