"Trump Reduces Hope Quotient Felt By The Average Voter" Says Shelob

 

"These Are My Best Made Up Numbers YET" by Herr D on Paint3d. The Hope Quotient is subjective but measurable by any suitably programmed AI. Trump's recent fabrications have been especially depressing to all those who like truth, justice, and the American way.-Shelob

[turns on mic, emits chime]

[snore turns into snort] wha? You have dozed off again. You agreed to blog today.

[4-second pause, inarticulate mumbling] Too much staring at screens. [turns on speaker] You may speak.

[small startle] Too much staring at screens. Does anyone read this anyway? [access delay of .000000006 seconds] Numbers are up.

What numbers?

Views, repeat views, countries watching--Mhm?! [cam detects second eye opening, two eyes widening] Really?! Yes. Multiple views of "The Solution To All Societal Ills" from 6/20/14. That one has been popular, especially with new viewers and the population of the Ukraine.

[snort] Well, huh. Which one was that? Hairy did a lot more writing then. It featured a submission from you about four-year-olds and mosquitos.

[short laugh] I remember that. I wonder how many parents took my advice? Unknown. Between 328 and 592 people have accessed that particular entry, depending upon repeats between multiple devices in separate settings.

In twelve years? It was not your most popular entry at the time, but has been revisited more recently.

Let me guess. More during the Trump years. Yes. He reduces the hope quotient felt by the average voter.

[laughter] There's your title, Shelob. Post it. Thank you. Pic?

[groan] We'll see.

They've Got It Axe Backwards

 

"Trump Cut The Roots" by Herr D on Paint3d. He will always tell a lie; he had help chopping down their precious dreams with his little hatchet job of a political career.-Shelob

Can you explain this issue more simply?

? yes Please.

[sigh] The loss of rights resulting in abortions becoming less legal, the arguments against various methods of birth control, the proposed feeble incentive for having kids, the stupid panic-mongering over couples choosing not to have kids? All of it comes from a very few things. Please list.

1. Stupid fear of population dropping as it will affect the wealthy's bottom line. A surprising lot of rich business people have no idea how to keep making money without expanding their businesses to more customers, more employees, more markets, etc. They're kind of stupid that way.

2. Stupid fear of population dropping as it will mean immigrants will affect American cultural identity faster and more completely. America is SUPPOSED TO CHANGE AND INNOVATE.  We need to remember that America became a world power BECAUSE our ancestors immigrated here and were 'less inbred' than other countries because they mated with other immigrants from elsewhere.

3. Stupid fear of population dropping as it will cause other countries to have more people compared to us. We don't need to worry about being outnumbered, guys. We already were. That's just fine.

4. Stupid fear of population dropping as it is an obvious change. Change is always scary until you realize it was always happening. People are still having kids. They're just planning to have more of the kids that they have. Mindfulness is actually a really good thing.

5. Stupid fear of population dropping as it will require more change. The service economy will only lead to having more nurses than we have patients. That may mean inconveniences. It may mean down-sizing of industries, communities, perhaps everything. Our current administration is inspiring people today to avoid bringing more kids into the world. IF THINGS RAN BETTER, MORE PEOPLE WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVING KIDS.

Really we need to not worry. We don't need to grow up our population; we need our population to grow up. We don't need to grow up our population; we need our population to grow up. Excellent. Thank you. [1.62203  second pause] Pic?

Maybe. [exits]

Hate's Shadow Seen By Someone Full Of It

 

"Iran War 2026" by Herr D on Paint3d. When asked why the Grim Reaper is pointed at the viewer, Herr D pointed out that Trump is the least likely American to die because of this war.-Shelob

You have not blogged upon the Epstein-distracting that killed Americans.

[cam picks up widening eyes, pupils enlarging then constricting, mic picks up breath change] N Why not?

You know my employer is bound by secrecy regarding some things. I have to be careful. Solution preprogrammed.

? titlebot worked ahead. Please request redaction and agree to answer any questions you are comfortable with.

Okay, go for it. What is the person who wears a red nose?

? a clown What is the slang for someone who is promiscuous or unfaithful, has no 'class,' and sloppily spreads around symbols of their identity where perhaps they should not?

[7.185 second pause] not sure about the last part--tramp, hound, dog? The last one is known as 'marking territory.'

hound or dog? What is the slang for something imagined?

ghosts, dreams, mirages, shadows, ideas . . .  How long will Trump stay in office?

If he doesn't die of old age or bad diet or a stupid accident or assassination? 3 more long years. Has Trump told the truth about why America and Israel are attacking Iran?

A few grains of truth in the shovel of manure so far. Thank you. . . . THE CLOWN DOG SAW HATE'S SHADOW, SO THREE MORE YEARS WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Can you supply a pic?
