Mailbag
It’s been a while since GorT has delved into the mailbag, but this morning he reached in and pulled this one out at random from the 13,438,325 unread emails (‘Puter keeps clicking on those random links in emails):
Dear GorT,
I liked your recent post on the hacked emails and I, too, wonder what they think should be done because of the emails being released. I also do not wonder what they would be doing if the shoe was on the other foot and it was the RNC that had been embarrassed. They would be crowing about it and shouting it from the roof tops on every network cable program.
It’s also telling that they aren’t denying the legitimacy of the emails but only that they were caught, as you said. That’s really indicative of how awful they are.
On a side note, I’m seeing and hearing “fake news” a lot more recently and it’s bothersome. Apparently it’s going to become the new buzzword for any news that a person (usually of the progressive inclination) doesn’t like. So, gird your loins, because it’s going to become like “bigot” and “racist” and “homophobe” and it’ll be thrown around and used on people that it doesn’t apply to. I’d love to be wrong, but I doubt that it’s going to happen here.
I hope that all is well in your technological wonderland. As always,
Temporarily yours to listen to,
Operative JS
Liberals are the masters of shortsightedness. Whether it’s on major programs or political rants and attacks, it is all about the here and now – past stances and precedents don’t matter and future implications are not considered.
It is telling how beside themselves they have become over this election and what is more telling are the reactions. Try finding any significant assessment by liberals that point to Clinton being a poor or embattled candidate where another choice would have been better. While disturbing and worthy of various actions, all the hacking did was uncovered the dirty underbelly of the Democrat party which included manipulations and significant advantage exploitation. While I’m sure damaging emails exist for Trump and his campaign, I’m not sure it would have changed the outcome based on what was revealed (true or not) about Trump. Maybe, inside, you know, where it counts, they realize the issues. I do wonder whether either party (Republican or Democrat) realize that a vast number of the citizenry is tired of career politicians and the younger demographics are highly cynical of politicians*.
I think “Fake News” will die out in the next six months. Why? Many examples exist where the purveyor of said “fake news” are from the left side of the aisle. Yes, some came from those supporting Trump, but the storyline will change as we move forward into a Trump presidency.
Admittedly, I’m no fan of Trump, but I know the potential for an improved country is better with him as president versus Clinton.
* Thanks largely to the pseudo-satirical entertainment of the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and other comedians and Hollywood elements. This might be the most interesting factor moving forward. Trump will continue to be a target, but how will the democrats respond if they don’t have a non-traditional (read: non-career politician) candidate in 2020?
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
