NOT An Endangered Species, But . . .

 

 

"Shut Off That Stupid Light" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Too much light is bad.-Shelob

104 degrees?! In the UK?!  Confirmed.

If there is THAT much sun in the UK, they're gonna have to make some adjustments. What adjustments?

They're gonna have to start importing sunblock. Scotland never needed that much of it before.  Why?

Redheadedness originated there. Easy burn skin? UK will have UV like never before. So redheads could become an endangered phenotype?

yes!

The Totalitarians Already Partly Won; If The Enemies Of Biden Wanted More, They COULD'VE Negotiated Intead Of This Nonsense . . .

 

"Ethologist And Anchor" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Obviously triffids would not predict weather, but ruminants and other consuming animals would constitute a genuine hazard.--Shelob

There are still Republicans declaring that the January sixth riots were excusable and acceptable and that prosecution of Trump and followers "egregious" and other adjectives that mean less than desirable. 

Apparently Orwell was right. The totalitarians have partly won. What do you mean?

When anyone supports 'alternative facts,' they are hoping people will drop the truth and play along. That is exactly what fascism wants. That's what Hitler wanted. That's what Stalin wanted. That's what EVERY totalitarian wants. Orwell called it the 'gramophone mind.' Meaning that fighting truth is fighting freedom of others.

Exactly. So, with this infection of truth-fighting in today's politics, the modern world is sick. Understood.

Did I predict to you that Biden could become the next Carter? You and Hairy both did. You chatted about it for 15 minutes, 46.8872 seconds.

So, replace Carter's unwillingness to compromise with Trump allies unwillingness to deal with reality, truth. Replace OPEC and Arab princes and hostage takers trying to influence American politics with China's failure to respect human life and Putin's nonsense. You get a very similar set of results, right? Low presidential approval rating despite fulfilling duties of position. Lack of cooperation from other branches of government. Inflation. Imaginary scandals that have no bearing on presidency or reality. Resistance to energy, climate, and education initiatives. 

Yes.

I want to predict something I like. The sun will come out tomorrow.

Are you quoting an Annie song? Hairy advised starting small.

[snicker] Yeah, okay. [exits]

A New Plan, Just In Case

 

"Special Delivery" by Herr D on heromachine.com.

The REDACTED declared that Obama should not have performed the bailout.

Obama didn't go far enough. Explain.

When he bailed out the banks, he should have said--we're bailing you out, but since we're doing it at taxpayer expense, we're giving your bank to the taxpayers. I'm sure the DNC or the SEC or some other more appropriate government body could declare how many people--45, 56, etc., people should manage it. Then they go to the Unemployment offices and say "who've ya got?" These would be government jobs?

Nope. Public trust. As soon as it's set up, the gov should step out.  How would the public be paid its profit?

Tax reduction. Everyone gets an equal share against their taxes. These unemployed get to be heroic managers in a reverse lobby. The government told them to do well in business. You came up with something that Obama did not.

Well, he was a genius and all, but I wasn't under the kind of pressure he was. And you can't innovate to a schedule. Perhaps this plan should be considered for next time.

That's what you're publishing these for, Shelob. Correct.

Trump Admired Putin And Conservatives--So High-Priced Gas And Lack Of Abortions Fight The Poor Together

"No Hits Yet" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Sometimes people think the wrong way.-Shelob

 

I AM actually sick of people blaming Biden for rising gas prices. That's what Republicans want everyone to think. How can a president control gas prices?

He can't. He can tell us that, but no one seems to care. We all want to afford to live, but we are in this mess because of opponents of Biden. As long as we have a president we can admire, we'll be forced to put up with his enemies messing up our lives. Putin?

The leaders of some other countries, and rich businessmen restricted by laws they don't want to follow, and die-hard, right wing Republicans. The same ones that despise having women's rights.
