In his latest threat against the Truckers, Justin Trudeau did something that I’ve never seen yet: he had double sign langaugers.

It was actually shockingly amazing.

As far as I know, I’m the only single person on earth who has had the gull to address the fact that all of the sudden, over the last couple of years, politicians have started having sign languagers featured prominently whenever they speak publicly.

I’ve pointed out that when I was a kid, we always had something called “close captioned for the hearting impaired.” That is to say – deaf people can just read the subtitles.

It’s also noteworthy that this is not really a big issue – in America, only 0.38% of the population is deaf. Most of those people became deaf as adults, meaning they probably are not totally fluent in sign language – though they do presumably know how to read.

I have questioned this for years, and gotten no explanation as to why sign languagers became a fixture, when subtitles already existed. No one has ever answered that question.

Double sign languagers is – I just really don’t even know what to say about this.

Are they doing two different forms of sign language?

Is it… what is it?! I don’t even have any guesses!

Anyway, I think this speaks to the fact that things are now happening just totally nonsensically, for no explainable reason. We are just seeing random behavior that doesn’t make any sense, and appears to be happening specifically because it doesn’t make any sense.

Most people will not even notice that there are now two sign languagers. Most people never asked why there was a need for one, when subtitles already existed.

This is the Best You’re Going to Get Out of Me Today, Mate

I warned you last night that this Sunday was going to be a relaxing day for this writer.

I think this is the best article you’re going to get out of me today. Although the warning of potentially poor articles might have been better.

I can’t be 100% on the ball every single day guys. I’ve been doing this every day for nearly ten years. Every. Single. Day.

Except Christmas, but actually not accept Christmas, because even on Christmas, I write a Christmas post.

But the importance of this article here should not be under estimated.

I’ve just pointed something out to you that no one else was going to point out.

Just Trudeau now has two separate sign languagers during his speeches, and no one dare mention it. No one dared mention the first, when subtitles already existed.

If you ponder the implications, you may be surprised at your realizations.

At Joe Biden’s big speech claiming that Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters are actually supporters of Donald Trump, we again had 35% of the total screen space of the speech removed in order to accommodate the sign linguist.

This is some new thing, this Democrat project of “signers everywhere.” I’ve only seen Democrats do it in America.

The first time I remember thinking about it was when Barack Obama gave a speech in 2013 in South Africa and the black signer was doing fake sign language.

It’s only started happening on a large scale in the last 2-3 years, and it is only recently ubiquitous.

Actually, ubiquitous.

As in, if you type “governor newsom speech” into Google, the first result has the signer box.

Another top result has the signer literally on stage with him.

Local county governments in liberal areas have them up on stage for every speech, and we wonder how much this project costs the American taxpayer annually.

How many deaf people are there? Are there more than there were a few years ago?

I looked it up, and only 0.22% of the population of the United States is deaf. That’s about 2 of every 1,000 people.

It is ridiculous to force all of us to be constantly exposed to these weird motions for the sake of such a small group of people, who were apparently getting on fine reading the transcript afterwards. Furthermore, these people can read lips. Furthermore, subtitles can be computer generated in real time now.

Remember when TV used to say “close captioned for the hearing impaired”? Why is it that with technology to help these people having advanced so much in the last couple of decades, we’re promoting primitive methods?

It’s not practical for politicians to be making a huge thing out of such a small group of people, who are probably not particularly influential, and probably do not care very much about having a special signer on stage when they’ve lived their lives being accustomed to reading subtitles and transcripts.

It could be that the Democrats figure that this is a solid group of .22% of the population they can gobble up as voters by pandering. But it’s more likely that these signers are meant to send a message to people with hearing.

The positive message is that the Democrats are soft and caring people, who worried about those poor, pathetic deaf folks. The inverse of that, the negative message, is that normal people have to be forced to undergo difficulties for the sake of a small minority of people with a very specific problem. These signers are totally distracting. I believe they must be distracting to the politicians giving speeches as well.

Deaf people don’t know when the googles are coming up on them.

Although you’d think they’d smell them.
