Dear lefty

• What do you do when the president has the Flying AIDS?
• offer to watch over Melania's treatment? 

The Pied Piper of Pennsylvania

Mrs lefty has some sort of power over spaniels that no one understands.
After 4 rescue cockers, I've seen a definite pattern.
They come home, and within a week, are following her around. Everywhere, including the bathroom.
Within a month, they're sitting at the door, whining, when she goes out.
Penny whines, then watches out the window (Dog TV) til her mommy comes home.

What scares me is that my Service Elephant, Iqbal, is starting to watch Mrs lefty walk around the house. If he starts whining and blowing his trunk when she leaves the house, the Service Elephant Training Academy will hear from me.

• My nose hair is especially thick and full-bodied today.
• Must. Change. Shampoos.

Russian interference in the upcoming election is getting more and more frantic, like the debates. Just yesterday, 3 people across Russia were attempting a Trump accent.

• Smart TVs are bad. Samsung is the worst. Startup ads not mentioned in privacy policy. Your data for sale, they brag to customers.

People complain that Work tells them nothing.
Mine tells us everything, and I appreciate it. Most of it has absolutely no relevance, but I think it's good that we can all understand something's happening and why.

ATTENTION ALL EMPLOYEES

A/R will have a lot of work to do, in order to compete with the original method, where many records were dropped when they weren't supposed to be.

So let's discuss the law that both sad candidates want to change that would affect social media. Currently, social media is not responsible for what users post. The candidates want to make them responsible.

As a libertarian, I don't think the government has any business here. The companies are private and should remain unbothered (BAKE THE CAKE).

If your newspaper features a personal for-sale ad, which turns out to involve a crime, should it be held responsible? Should a store be held responsible for a 3x5 card someone puts up on their community bulletin board? It's not only a ridiculous burden to the business, it's probably a free speech violation, among other things. It's every bit as ridiculous as punishing them for not allowing certain speech.

Congress is threatening to subpoena the heads of Faceyspaces, Twitter, and Google, unless they show up voluntarily. Haven't we seen this show before? It was really bad the first time. They added privacy and bias to the topics. Dems deny there is any anti-conservative bias.

This is complete and utter bulldoockey. To deny anti-conservative bias is to not have used social media in the past few years. I watched it happen on Twitter and  Reddit, then read about YouTube and Faceyspaces. The moment you were guilty of Wrongspeak, you were punished, starting at removal of the post, de-monetarization, and ending in being thrown off the service. You couldn't even appeal or talk to a human about the alleged infraction. I screamed when this started - not because I'm a conservative, but because anything could then be censored. The liberals didn't care - they were just happy they got speech they disagreed with shut down. I couldn't get across to them that they might be next. There's also the matter of who decides what's correct and what's conspiracy theory? An awful lot of conspiracy theories proved true.

While I stand by my statement that businesses shouldn't suffer government regulation, I want you to think about the effect of this. All social media is now left-leaning. This means that people will never hear about any alternatives unless they specifically go searching for them. Add in payment processors, hosting companies, and internet connections, and you have a humongous education/indoctrination program for the country (and world), that speaks with one voice. Imagine how powerful this is. Before this started, most people didn't know there was a libertarian party or what they stood for. Pretty soon it will get worse.  I can't demand these private companies do anything, but I'm pointing out the larger effects of this obviously organized program.

• Amazon Fulfillment Centers' serious injuries topped 14,000, despite safety claims. No word on how many deaths that includes. Amazon also admitted to over 19,000 deaths.
• In unrelated news, Amazon announced its new Head of Fulfillment Safety, Hillary Clinton

Champion jockey Oisin Murphy tests positive for cocaine and says he will "fight to clear my name".      ...as soon as the coke clears from my system

These people are funny. The police could watch someone pull a gun and kill an innocent person, with 12 surveillance cameras taking video, and the accused will stand up and demand justice, because he did NOT kill that person.

• Ireland has ruled that Subway bread must be taxed, due to its sugar content.
• Ireland is a very weird place.

Debate rules are being changed after the initial Trump-Biden ugliness.

Step back a second and think about this.... debates are nothing but spectacle in the first place, and now people are outraged about style over substance. Nobody has called for honesty or asked serious questions - that should be the outrage. That is why they're called The Great Unwashed.

• The Vatican denied Sceretary of State Mike Pompeo an audience with the pope.
• The official story was that they don't get involved in politics.
• The unofficial story was that Pompeo is not a hot little altar boy.

SJW SOLUTION?

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange based in Silicon Valley, has announced that it will not engage with pressing social issues such as racial injustice and is offering exit packages to employees who disagree.

Navy SEALs change official ethos to be gender neutral, remove ‘brotherhood’ and more.   “To date, no women completed the SEAL or SWCC qualification training pipelines.”  Army changes official ethos to be species-neutral, because you never know when a non-human will join, and we have to reflect that inclusivity.

* The Magic Dingus Box was a homemade control unit that was built and used by Danny Gatton, the World's Best Unknown Guitarist.

Danny was so good, he was hailed the world over, by stars of the guitar world (Les Paul!), as The Humbler. As I type, a movie is near completion, called The Humbler. Visit, learn, contribute.

Sadly, Danny suffered from severe depression and took himself out.
