Common Sense In Remission But Not Autism Or Need

 

"Due Tuesday" on Paint3d  by Herr D. Some accomplishments are hollow.-Shelob

You have not blogged.

[startle reaction] I'm -- sorry. Your health has apparently declined. 

How do you know? Your pulse is weaker, according to your phone. Your activity level is decreased. You called in sick.

Well, yes. You are sick? Hairy frequently said sickness is faked by American workers.

I may be just worn out and depressed. What are you working on? The microphone on your laptop picked up paper shuffling, pen scratches, sighing. Is it paperwork?

[snort] y What kind?

My special needs kid's benefits are being cut. I'm trying to appeal it. Can autism go into remission?

No! Your child is still alive?

Yes! Why would cutting that make sense?

This happened in 2016, too. The story we got later was that somebody was worried that if they didn't cut their budget, they'd lose their job. So it got cut. Our family suffered. [accessing] This is the third time?

The other time happened at the same time they cut my unemployment and veteran's benefits for some people I know. I got a really polite letter from the Commonwealth of Virginia, explaining to me that the federal government wouldn't pay their share, so, even though I was entitled, I would get no more. I had to rush right out and take the job that paid less than my unemployment that no one wanted. Costing your family potentially $16,000 per year in wages, $800 per year in a stipend for diapers, and what you have described as 'intangible' benefits.

REDACTED was not as happy without music therapy, and did not learn without ABA therapy. Six hours a week total. And has not recovered?

No. REDACTED still hasn't recovered from the loss of progress in potty training, still hasn't progressed mentally in many ways. You are not a Democrat despite this?

No. They've done better for my family, but they don't make it easier for us to GET those benefits. I'm just more against the Republicans than the Democrats because they keep costing my family too much. This is not an endorsement.

Nope. Anything else?

I'm depressed. I DID hope we'd at least have an adult in the White House . . .  I gotta go, Shelob [exits] Perhaps America will recover as predicted by Hairy in 2031. Good luck, everyone. 

"Levin Doesn't Listen" Says Herr D; Do Voters Keep Receipts?

"Choices" by Herr D on Paint3d. Vilifying a vengeful hypocritical adulterous liar is not the same as vilifying a 'career politician' who has helped repair damages caused by the former.-Shelob

 [fake retching noise] Levin doesn't listen. Please explain.

I mean, you can tell he reads. Most of the history he presented was correct. The man can't listen to a speech for an entire sentence. Example?

KH didn't say to "turn the page" on democracy or liberty or moderation or good sense. She said to turn the page on hate speech and racism and extreme partisanship like Levin. KH isn't an extremist. But we know Levin hasn't listened to any of Trump's speeches. Getting another tyrant would be possible. That follows. It was a style not match error. Please explain second complaint. [plays clip]

[camera shows vigorous head shake with closed eyes] Uch. More style not match error?

Yes! She's not Marxist, she's not socialist, she's not communist, and she's not going to ruin our economy. She does not fit the governmental definitions. How do you know she won't ruin the economy?

Because I'm better off right now than I was in 2016 AND 2017 AND 2018. There are a number of folks that have had some bad luck with the stocks, but even with some higher prices right now, I don't know any poor (like I am, almost) worse off now than WHEN TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE. 

Does anyone remember that tomatoes and oranges were higher in 2018 than they are now? Does anyone remember that milk and gasoline were too? I occasionally keep receipts. They have dates on them. Complainants may not keep time-sensitive records for complaint accuracy. Blog requirement fulfilled. [exit, picselect(topicanalysisfcn), upload]

WWJD? Not Pass Laws, Says Herr D

 

"Modern Moses" by Herr D on Paint3d. Many believe less is more in law.-Shelob

[insert from chat] No. Does this qualify you as a 'NeverTrumper?'

I'm not sure that would cover it. I never want a felon in the White House. I never want anyone but a mature adult for our president. I never want a corrupt judge on the Supreme Court. At last count I didn't want about 3/4 of Congress and 1/10 of our governors. Would you run for office?

I'd consider it, but last I looked, I'm not popular enough as a person to bother. I'd be a great addition to a cabinet, advisory board, etc.--of course, I DO  have some familial obligations first. You have said you are not rich enough or free enough. Is that still accurate?

Yes. Your stance on abortion is not clear.

I think the government needs to step out of it entirely. Because?

Because it is a religious choice. You are religious.

Yes, but Jesus never ruled on Earth! When people were torturing and killing him, they MOCKED  him by calling him "King of the Jews." When you ask, "What would Jesus do?" you CAN'T say "build a theocracy." Being an American means letting people be free. Being a Christian means leading by example. Restricting freedom unnecessarily is UN-AMERICAN. Edging this country toward a theocracy, even a Christian one, is UN-CHRISTIAN. The Religious Right might be religious, but they ain't right! You sound like some of your ruling style would be to rule less. 

There ARE loads of laws to purge from the books. That could take a couple of terms, minimum. So you would be busy.

[sigh] Just like now. Gotta go. One last thing--your reason for telling everyone to vote?

If you don't vote, you risk letting the crazy minority win. Thank you.

It's Time To Get Scary

 

"Voting Masks" by Herr D. Odd, that the traditionally deceptive would even notice masks.-Shelob

THE FOLLOWING WAS DELAYED FOR PICTURE. APOLOGIES.-Shelob

Well, that happened . . .  [scans terminal history] You are reading a company policy.

No, I'm reading the HISTORY of my company's new policy. They declared no one can come as a president or past president or country leader, past or present, of any country. I was sympathetic to Sam, who likes to come as Abe Lincoln. Sam is tall. He has a black beard--it's a good look for him. I said I'd arm him for a protest meeting if I could. Now I know he has little hope. Why, then?

Some dope among our admins was reading in the private chatrooms where he's not supposed to, and read that "A Trump '25' mask would be really scary." Would it not be scary?

He didn't want that at the party. Then another admin pointed out that Hitler, Mao, Putin, Kim Jong Un, Pol Pot, etc., should be in the same class. From there it mushroomed into absurdity. [snort] I ought to tell Sam to go as an admin holding a crystal ball. That would be scary? Perhaps the insight would improve their behavior?

Not likely. They should have wrote 'no controversial figures in current events.' That would have done it. What will you tell Sam?

Just that. Very few people can't admire AL. Thank you.

And So It Goes . . .

 

"Aim Higher" by Herr D on Paint3d. Mob rule rules right when it needs left.-Herr D

Why . . . did you show me this? You were watching the same content by Hannity.

This is the same nonsense. By somebody who was fired or something. 'Or something.' Watters is less popular, and thus, is more subject to punishment for fraud.

I'd love it if people would get punished for fraud just for not making it plain they ARE A PUNDIT. An amazing number of people I've spoken to didn't even realize there was a difference between a journalist and a pundit. More than one of them said "What's a pundit?" Who did they think they were watching?

The news! That's what I'm saying! A surprising number of people think that their entertainment is news. Style not match error.

[snort] Yes. Trump fans are still nuts and more likely to vote than anyone. 3rd-party enthusiasts are more likely to waste their vote than usual. KH fans are capable of saving us from four more disastrous years even if she turns out to NOT be a good prez.  What are the odds of her being a good president?

Keeping Trump out would automatically mean she's an average prez, because it would mean she carried the office sanely and with charisma. Odds are heavily against people being happy with her, because Trump fans will make everyone unhappy as much as they can. Being pro-union and pro-middle class means some high-powered business people are going to bias all their advertisements against her and pay influencers to yell and moan about her. Since KH is a stateswoman, rather than a wicked salesman gifted at talking himself up, all the sheeple out there are just going to hate her.

Then there's historically the presidency in general. Presidents who work hard, do the right thing, make a difference, get America out of trouble, and fulfill their campaign promises usually get voted out after their first term and have people miss them after it's too late. They also face more complaints, fairly AND unfairly, than the others. So the better she does, the more complaints there will be?

Yes. It would appear the American public does not know what is good for them.

THAT is why Obama tricked Congress into passing the ACA thirty years after Hillary Clinton tried to reform health care, thirty years LATE. And has heard little but complaints about it. We still need to do a LOT of tort reform and improve Obamacare rather than wait till it's forty years overdue again. Thank you.

Watch For Bad Editing, Says Herr D; You Must Be Sharp, Says Shelob

 

"Sign Of The Times" by Herr D on Paint3d. This DOES seem to be worse, recently.-Shelob

[turns off newsfeed over youtube.com] Yeechhh. Analysis?

[notices chatbox that was behind newsfeed window, startles] Shelob?! Here.

[snorts] I see. That's what, six in a row? Six in a row of what?

Words taken out of context. You can see where it was wrongly edited, if you're good. Interesting that the majority of broadcasters of fake news are mis-editing KH's words. It has been six in a row. One of the broadcasters presented false credentials.

I don't think it's interesting. I think it's criminal. I'd like to see fraud charges brought against a lot of those sites, participants, etc. I think youtube should have on it's homepage something that suggests news sources that are reliable like wire services, and advise people that much content is not only wrong-headed, but unhealthy and potentially dangerous. That might be a good suggestion. Make a pic?

I'll see if I have time tonight. [exits]

Trump Is So Fat Because He Loves Suckers; Herr D Is Down On Three Nutrients, Sleep, And Rest

 

"Voting Is A DUTY" by Herr D on Paint3d. Choices must be made responsibly.-Shelob

Wow--I finally got through the prez debate. You need more leisure time.

I do. You need more sleep. 

I do, b--You need more manganese, vitamin C, and iron.

? I've watched what you eat over your breakroom camera as well as your laptop camera and analyzed the ingredients within 7.70946952 %.

[picks up 'mandy'] Will this fix it? That will alleviate some of the vitamin deficit.

Pork chops for dinner? That will possibly achieve your healthy minimum nutrition. Your sleep and rest requirements will take precedence.

[mutters under breath] What did you think of the debate?

I'm sorry KH sounds like a politician. Trump still sounds like a madman. Vance, in the afterblurb sounded #$%^&* DITZY. I'm worried, Shelob. Trump's followers are crazy. Crazy people ALWAYS vote. They turn out. Sane people don't always vote. We could wind up with him in office again. I REALLY don't want to go through that again. He'll try to 'Make America Greatly Troubled Again.' Insanity apparently is it's own cause.

Well, it self-reinforces. You will vote for KH.

Yes. There isn't another possibility for anyone who doesn't want the next mishandling of America. I hope she's at least half as effective as she is optimistic. If she is, I'll be happy.  The lies Trump told were effective?

He's always been an effective liar. The problem is, I DON'T like the effects. How do people believe the pet-eating story? They believe in Trump.

Yeah, [shakes head sadly] Sucker born every minute. And Trump wants our nation full of clowns.
