PS in last Thursday night’s reading several people, including me, felt the shutdown would end in February but no specific day in February.
Trump reminds me of the spoiled child in the Walmart checkout line who throws a fit to get a candy bar. The parents give in just to shut them up and, in the process, teach the child to throw a fit every time they don't get their way.
At some point there might be enough Republican senators who go along with the House bills to not only pass them but override Trump's inevitable veto. Note that this would not only get government open but also give Trump a chance to save some face.
Not sure what will happen but I hope Pelosi hangs tough.
Just came back to check on the forum. The trigger was those tensions that were reported widely between teenagers on MAGA hats and a Native American tribal elder near the Lincoln Memorial. Yeah, it reminded me immediately of the remote viewing exercise on Washington DC. My contribution was lost, but I was the one that saw first the Washington Monument attacked. Back then I'm sure a lot of people thought the vision was too grim. Today, I'm sure that it doesn't look so unlikely to many people here.
I said it before and I'll say it again: it's only beginning. Trump will be out soon, but Trump is just the beginning. Pence has had a chance to learn a lot of the wrong lessons. War will be coming to the mainland U.S.A. Even if war is avoided, economic destruction will be almost as bad as a war.
When Jeanne asks us to send light to help and protect people like Mueler I try although I'm not sure what I'm doing or indeed if I have any light. I shut my eyes and think of the person and surround them in light. When I have done this for Nancy Pelosi I keep seeing her in a huge ball of radiant light. So much light I can't even really see her. I have only seen her this way when I try this, no one else.
I believe she knows she's negotiating for the life of the USA, not just this one budget, one wall or no wall, and that she is painfully aware of the distress and damage done to the government workers, the government as a whole, but she can't afford to give on this or it will be shut down after shut down, and bleeding of the civil servants and the erosion of the country beyond what has already happened. She's playing for keeps here and she knows it. It feels like a 'last stand' in some ways.
As for Maria's vision, I've always had a nagging feeling that the USA will have a civil war, but really isn't that what is happening right now? Maybe not with people fighting on battle fields, but it feels so unsettled and like you are at war with yourselves from outside looking in.
Adora, thank you for such a light filled post. Pelosi is a brave warrior for us all. I love that you see her radiant. I do too. And you helped her by seeing her that way. She is radiant because so many millions of people are supporting her. She is a great warrior dealing with the darkest of forces.
We can all direct the light and protection of this universe to her.
Maria what do you mean by saying war is coming to the U.S. Please elaborate.
Well there’s a war potentially happening between US and Venezuela apparently, maybe more countries involved
Getting back to the title of this thread which is the shutdown, during Read the Future night a few people, including me, got it would end in February. Today I'm not so sure. I also got an image of Trump, body completely stiff with arms folded tight across his chest, being carried out sideways by people. He can 't give in. He's stuck and doesn't know what to do. His only way of negotiating is hostage taking, and if that doesn't work, then he's stuck. Feels like the shutdown is shutting down Trump in some way.
To be clear it wasn’t a straight jacket. It was a symbol that his own people would be carrying him sideways even as he remained in his fixed rigid position.
Jeanne, I also saw an image of Trump being carried out sideways by people. He'd been put in restraints, with his arms folded and strapped tight across his chest. Although he was furiously trying to resist, they were forcefully carrying him head first up the stairs of a private plane. (The opposite of the golden escalator he arrogantly descended in June '15 when he officially announced his candidacy for president.) You've said it perfectly, his usual way of doing business/negotiating isn't working and he's stuck. The con guy has conned himself.
Looks like they will be announcing a temporary re-opening of government. That would fit with what many people have seen, some opening in January, some in February , some even in March. Perhaps it will be all three.
