The Problem Is WHO Is Doing The Investigating Says Herr D

 


 Herr D?

[slight startle] Yes, Shelob. You have not commented on investigations into Biden.

There's not much to say. Are you in favor?

Well, Congress obviously can't do a very good job of it. Maybe they could appoint an independent body, like should always be done. Why do you say obviously?

Congress is incompetent and painfully slow at investigations. They try and get sound bites in, but don't actually find anything at any decent rate of speed. You are not against investigating, just the choice of investigators?

Yeah. Trump is still at large, though it's been clearly shown that he's broken laws and is still not necessarily obeying them. Congress COMPLETELY failed to show Hillary did anything wrong. She might've, but they're worse detectives than Jacques Clouseau! Biden might've. It's possible. You notice he's not guilty of contempt? You notice he's not even involved, really? Biden is behaving like any innocent man would. 

Congress is also historically unwilling to stop investigating people who AREN'T guilty. Thank you. [exits]

Selection Fail COULD Be The Plan Says Yuni D

 

"Banner Day" by Herr D. Perhaps leaders, like heroes, should be selected carefully.-Shelob

[stops dinner break / solitaire, receives phone call, opens poorly-written in-house editing software resembling ancient version of Volkswriter and Wordperfect] Shelob? Here.

[agitation under laptop suggesting startle reflex] are you getting faster?  Yuni D had just called. Your pulse had just risen. Consider this high alert.

[short pause] How do you know my pulse rate? You have a health app installed on your phone.

[pause] Did you have a blog topic?

[laughter heard on microphone] Well, see if I can surprise YOU. Yes. She called me because in her Civics class, a student was explaining that Kevin McCarthy keeps running for Speaker. She said no one knows why but kept laughing. She finds it funny that the Speaker is unselected?

No. She knew why KM is content to just get voted down repeatedly. Why?

All he has to do is just keep getting voted down. Eventually out of desperation he may be given it. Otherwise, he may just not have to do any work AT ALL for the rest of his term. He'll get full pay. He might even get re-elected. He MIGHT make it possible for any House member to end the career of a Speaker. They can deadlock the House. How did she know this?

She's a student. She'd LOVE to not  do homework and still get all 'A's. And have her parents be grateful to her. His parents would be grateful?

Uh-no. Following the metaphor, he'd tell his base that he was 'prevented' from doing well. He might make it impossible for a few things Biden might have gotten done. It does appear McCarthy has a motivation for losing continuously. Thank you. [exits to publish]

One Part Is Not The Whole; Check The Logic

"Blip Tells A Lie" by Herr D on heromachine. Pay close attention to short clips taken out of context, especially badly edited ones. Bad listening can be willful and proliferated.-Shelob

 

Autoblog Fcn(ON)

78 instances of posts say that Biden claimed that voting Republican was: anti-American, anti-democratic, semi-fascist,  anti-freedom, and unwise.

That is not what Biden claimed. Biden claimed that voting for certain Republicans would fit those descriptors. Those certain Republicans had declared in various statements and manners that voting should not matter if the voting was not for them.

Apparently the newest strategy to try to convince people of a view is to declare something illogical as if it were an obvious truth and attempt to edit footage to fit the declaration. Herr D was overheard to say, "Thank God they edit poorly."
