...a thin attempt to distract from Epstein, garner “sympathy” as an aging guy with a health condition.
Given that he's always lied about his health situation in the past, it's unlikely that he's spontaneously turned over a new leaf in that regard. I believe that the Epstein issue is causing far more damage than is being let on, and with all of the very public MAGAt defections/hat burnings in the last few days, the puppet masters who control him are getting antsy about further progress/support for their ongoing agenda. I suspect this is a way to begin the process of transitioning him out of office within the next six months, with the hope of preventing anything from actually being made public.
However, I also think the lists and other evidence will still be leaked/exposed, and if the Orange One were to be removed and Vance installed, his first order of business would likely be to issue a pardon to the Orange One so no actual investigation could/would be done. That would still not protect the other high-placed people from prosecution, although the DOJ could stonewall or slow-walk any investigations to "favored" supporters.
There is a tradition of lying extremely effectively about the running president's health status going back to Cleveland in the 19th century. For example, Wilson was one who lied particularly effectively to the public about his health. After probably suffering several strokes and others vascular events, he was actually unfit for office from day one - yet he led the USA into and through the First World War. However, of course it was not only the president lying about his health as he maybe was much too ill but it has been always an extremely effectively working team around the US president. Which possible serious health status could there be for any US president to end his presidency before it is supposed to be over? I cannot imagine even one health status except for death.
@joy Unless he's taken down by his own inner circle. I wouldn't put it past them to use his health issues to do that, either directly or through leaks or other ways of destroying him. He's served his purpose at this point, and he's diminishing before our eyes. Don't think the sharks that surround him don't see that.
@lynn That's a really interesting and valuable answer for me. Thank you so much! I understand it much better now. I think your answer explains why declining MAGA support is extremely relevant, even from the perspective of other countries media. In the past, the support team always remained loyal to previous presidents who faced serious health challenges, like Ronald Reagan. Therefore, the key question here might not be whether the current support team will be able to hide serious health issues, but whether they will remain determined to do so.
Frankly, I am more concerned with the ethical shakiness of the Supreme Court.
Anyone else feeling frustrated and impatient for positive change?
In keeping with the title of this thread this prediction is completely and utterly random. I was standing on the patio last night, and as I turned to go into the house, the state of Texas popped into my head and the word "bankruptcy" immediately attached itself to it. I then heard the full sentence "Texas will declare bankruptcy" in my head.
I have no idea if it's even possible for a state to declare bankruptcy or if it would be allowed if they tried, but there it is. 🙃 I also don't know if it may just be the thought that the administration in Texas is morally bankrupt, but when that sentence popped into my mind, it was definitely the financial meaning.
@jeanne-mayell I watched this video on YT. It was very interesting and a testament to those in our society who remain forward thinking. I also noticed that many of the examples they gave were from Canada. One other thing... The music from the string quartet perfectly exemplified the idea of working together effectively interdependently,(not to mention it was absolutely beautiful.) I subscribed to the YT channel as I expect they will post more updates on the groups highlighted. Thanks for sharing!!
@tgraf66 States can’t actually declare bankruptcy, at worst it could default on its payments. I would suggest that it would be a corporate entity based in Texas that does so. Enron was the most vivid case of a Texas-based corporation imploding like that in the past.
I am not sure this is a prediction, but I keep waking up with the 70's song "Put your hand in the hand" on my mind.
@averylegacy @tgraff66 Just today, Texas AG has warned there are currently some morally bancrupt persons active in Texas. ‘Morally Bankrupt’: Texas AG Warns of Scammers Targeting Those Affected by Hill Country Floods
@toma I didn't think they could, but Abbott and Paxton aren't exactly paragons of virtue when it comes to the law, so I'm not sure of anything anymore. 🙄
@lenor Thank you for that. 😊
@averylegacy Yes, I did think that was a possibility.
@joy Funny that Paxton would say that. That's more than a bit of the pot calling the kettle black. 🤣
As I was coming into waking consciousness this morning, I saw an image of DJT and next to him an airplane split in half.
I just woke up with the certainty of this sentence: The crash is near. The certainty was stunning. I got no further details about whose crash. But I am sure, "crash" refers to a globally known person who will experience a sort of significant crash soon. I also do not know If this sentence refers to @westle and her/his prediction in form of an image.
@anya I'm still thinking about the blonde Bondi bringing T down, accidentally acknowledging there were 'lists' of these Epstein rich, famous, powerful men who abused young girls; then T's comment a day or so ago that Prez Clinton was on that list and has a lot to thank T for b/c Prez can't be prosecuted for anything (according to T) due to T's influence in that Supreme Court ruling, and that Clinton would otherwise be in big trouble. Frankly, the whole world already knows Clinton has a history of sexual misconduct (no surprise there), but perhaps this confirms what MAGA has been screaming about the rich and powerful being sexual predators etc... but it appears some of those bad guys include T, and perhaps many powerful men who might (I wish) be knocked off their high horse & pushed out of power due to their imminent exposure. Could this be the shake-up that will change our current "Robber Baron" financial inequality? Lots of rich and famous names were mentioned so far. I predict that T's manipulation of his personal attorney cum #2 at Justice making a deal to pardon Maxwell if she promises not implicate T & his cronies, will actually be the thing that destroys him. As with Nixon's capers, the cover-up is what caused his removal from office.
Clinton could be prosecuted for anything that is not an official act
