Booted by Booker

So it turns out that somewhere in Northern California, there is a special old treehouse that was in a radiation field (I’m guessing some nearby power plant). The radiation in the area makes the ambient light seem to flick on and off like a busted lightbulb. Anyway, what makes the treehouse special is that it is where the Beatles recorded Sgt Peppers. So anyway, this treehouse was purchased by some young wealthy guy, prolly a Silicon Valley tech bro, and he was in the process of incorporating the treehouse into a massive castle that he was building in the woods up there. Turns out this guy was old buddies with Cory Booker, so he was hosting a fundraiser for him among his wealthy socialite friends. I was at this shindig with my girlfriend (who is actually an ex IRL), when we ran into Cory Booker himself. He greeted my gf with a kiss and niceties but then noticed me and leaned in to her and whispered “Who is this guy?” She told him it was cool, it’s my boyfriend, he’s here to support you, or something to that effect. But Booker wasn’t having it. He said “This guy clearly doesn’t belong here. Get him out of here.” So I start heading out but he wasn’t done. He follows me toward the door and says “And don’t come back!” This finally pissed me off so I said “It’s fine, I’m more of a Yang or Buttigieg kind of guy anyway” (which is weird because I’ll probably vote for Liz Warren or Bernie IRL).
