I am hopeful we have some resolution or progress prior to the ramp up for the 2022 midterms - I fear without it there's a possible timeline where some of our progressive steps forward are lost, though I'm still feeling zen about that.
More likely, without it, any investigation is dismissed as an attempt to swing the election one way or another. Here's hoping the big fish are on the hook by May/June of 2022. (Yes, I'm aware that we're technically already in the 2022 election cycle. God I hate that!)
It feels to me like we're in a timeline gray area. Like the median strip on a highway. It also feels very wobbly, like it could go either way, but I'm also feeling pretty zen about it.
@lynnventura Less of a "wobble" for me - if I had to put it into words it's my daughters learning to ride their bikes a few years back. Once they did it there was still the possibility that they'd fall and skin their knees but it was a lot less likely than it was when we were first teaching them.
If my zen leaves I'll let you all know but this forum is a beautiful treasure filled with talented seers reminding me that "my daughters know how to ride their bikes now." and that America is not likely to become a fascist state.
I've officially been away from work too long if these are my metaphors. ?
@dannyboy I like your metaphor better!
HEY Community! Since Virginia is close, and the outcome will impact the 2024 election, here is a place you can do some phone banking! They need people this weekend to tell the voters to get to the polls! Virginia is a low turnout state for state-only elections, so turnout is going to mean everything in this state. We want to keep their governor, and especially their legislature, blue.
Phone banks have times tonight, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday for any of you who are willing to help get out the vote from the comfort of you own computer.
You are calling Virginia democrats to get them to go and vote.

Virginia Democrats-VOTE VOTE VOTE, or Virginia can be the next Texas. And let's all thank the mainstream media for their constant IT'S OVER IN VIRGINIA, YOUNGKIN HAS WON narrative they're been pushing for the last two weeks.
I received an interesting email today. Katie Hobbs is a democrat running for AZ governor. She is currently the Secretary of State and has done a really good job. I am on her email list and today she posted a letter from Dr. Mary L. Trump who is fundraising for McAuliffe. Apparently donations for him are very low right now. So Hobbs is currently splitting donations she gets with McAuliffe.
There is so much I find interesting about all of that. First, Mary Trump is actively campaigning for Democrats and her letter is really strongly worded. I bet she never thought she would be in this type of position when she first wrote her book. Boy has she become an asset for Democratic candidates across the country. Second, Hobbs is splitting her fundraising with McAuliffe. That is most unusual but very smart. It is only for a few days and I am sure he will help her out for her election in 2022. One of the leading republican candidates Kari Lake is a former local Fox news anchor and is a huge Trump supporter. She is completely nuts. Hobbs will need all the help she can get when her election gets closer. It will be interesting if Mary Trump will also help Hobbs as well.
I hope everyone sees McAuliffe winning.
@polarberry I heard McAuliffe is low on funds. So I made a donation.
I did too!
I am really worried for all the progressive progress Virginia has made if that Twitler-mini-man wins, or steals, the election.
VOTE, Democrats, VOTE.
