Excellent advice about the news. I haven't watched the TV news for three days, and am trying to stay off the web news also. I can't stand his phony voice and orange face.
Thank you to everyone sharing much-needed positive and encouraging visions about the downfall of this idiot and his criminal administration.
What an interesting vision of the two boats being offered to Trump. On a side note, but perhaps somewhat connected, it occurs to me that Trump has brought up the ACA repeal all of the sudden at this time as a way to get the House (and the Press!) talking and thinking about something else other than the Mueller report. And guess what, the Press is no longer talking about the Mueller report 24/7! Trump's con-man tricks are all about distracting away from any potential negative developments about him. Perhaps this is what he thinks will save him in that leaky boat. (Of course, though, he would NEVER take the other boat, because resigning would be an admission of guilt.)
I listened to A psychic on You Tube this morning who saw that Trump was being pressured to resign but has so far refused. This rings true for me. I feel that the pressure will only build on every front forcing his hand in the near to medium term.
Trump deciding to go after the ACA yet again is not endearing him to Republican office holders at the moment and could help force their hand as well. I'm sure they would love to get rid of Trump but are making a cold political calculation to support him as long as it is to their advantage. Republican pollsters claim that the reason Dems gained 40 House seats had more to do with the pre-existing conditions debate than anything. They (Republican office holders) don't want the conversation to change from "Trump is exonerated!" to "Republicans are going to take away your healthcare". If they see Trump killing their chances in 2020 with a renewed healthcare debate it could be a turning point.
Martin- this is the whole theme for the republicans and the White House. How many times have they come out and they think they have a gotcha moment and then it blows up in their face. Don’t worry this too will be one of those moments to be added to their stupidity.
Yes, I am an empath, and my message is particularly for them because I know intimately the feelings it causes, the horrible headache and pit of stomach dreadfulness. Do not engage with his energy, the broadcasts of his surrogates. Instead, watch the town halls if you can of Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders and candidate Beto O'Rourke, of Peter Buttigieg, and other candidates. Consider their different visions and policies, weigh their positives and negatives, research their track record of achieving goals. Look and compare their background, education, intellectual power, and experience/positions on all issues. Look at who is coming up in local elections, the state legislature, county legislature, common councils. Arm yourself with positive information to make a good decision for who to donate to and who to vote for primaries and start working with local Democratic Parties. There is plenty to divert your focus from the horribleness of the current administration. Spread good news about these candidates to all your friends, on Twitter/social media- spread good news, positivity, disinfect the hivemind with good things, positive thoughts and excitement for 2020 candidates.
Rowsella, I can’t read enough of what you write. Please fill the collective with your fire and your light.
I'm somewhat new to the group. have signed up sometime ago but read and not gotten involved. Just wanted you to know that my spirit tells me this is a very happy time for us. Laughing and smiling is the greatest strength we have have to shower the country with right now so you are right the farce will end and the truth will come out. We are blessed to be living in this time.
Welcome, Nancy, thanks for posting. The Boston Globe has a front page story this morning trying to get to the bottom of the farce. I'm sure other media are also working on this now. It seems obvious what happened with Mueller, but good reporting looks for evidence rather than making assumptions.
I listened to some psychic youtube's and they rang true. I feel that Barr and Mueller (especially Barr) is lying not to protect DJT but in their mind to protect all of us. When I heard that I realized that DJT's crimes were exactly what I originally thought - much worse than what many people think! I think he and Pence were placed in the office by Putin and GOP enablers, and there is so much election fraud that if it were to come out in the news Barr thinks this would destroy our democracy. There would be riots and violence by many sides (that is their fear). So they are trying to convince DJT to quit - leave so they don't have to have this come out. Problem is DJT is not cooperating at the moment. Thoughts on whether you all agree? It rang true to me...
I don't feel they are trying to convince Trump to leave office, at least not yet. They might be asking him to curb his violence talk, although they know he won't listen to them, but not to leave office. I also don't agree that they are trying to protect all of us although of course they don't want a civil war.
Trump picked Barr to protect him and that is what Barr has done, as far as he can. He and Whitaker restricted Mueller's work. Mueller is not a liar but like a good marine, he knows the order of command and he follows orders. I feel the issue of collusion is still in the data he gathered since it was, after all, his mandate. But his tenure was cut short before he was done. It was a clever way to fire him without firing him.
The GOP leadership may not like Trump's violence and uprising rhetoric and his call to his base to rise up if something happens to him, but they still feel he is by far the most effective person in getting the Republicans what they want - money and power. No one holds a candle to him in delivering the GOP agenda of greater wealth and power to the elite. So they are not going to be quick to get him out of office...yet. Perhaps if really damning evidence surfaces, and they can't do damage control, then they would try to get him out for only one reason- to save themselves. But not yet. There are no altruistic motives coming from the GOP. They care only about themselves at any cost to others.
