Things are moving moving quickly now! Future outcomes and deciding if its time to start switching or bailing from connections with T.
Mitch McConnell critical of Trump's call to withdraw troops and U.S. support in Syria.

Even Pat Robertson is none too happy with Trump this afternoon. He said on his show that Trump is risking "losing his mandate from heaven" by abandoning the Kurds, and also said Trump "allowed Khassoggi to be cut in pieces".
Right on Deetoo! That is THE best comeback especially if you were experiencing major power flashes at the time.
Trying to explain the major efforts of finding a single word is one thing, moving on to complex thing--only makes me laugh.
But a full blown creative comeback to top an already elevated level of humor--forget it ! Too much thinking uses up energy we need for more important things!
The Oval Office Occupier has about as much of a legitimate "mandate from heaven" as I do from Wall Street.
And while I want to give Robertson half-a-nod for finally telling the truth on Trump's egregious complicity in the brutal murder and dismemberment of an honored journalist, a truth told too late carries about as much weight in this scenario as the absurd presidential lies they've all gladly been supporting until just this very moment.
This is what we call a convenient political exit strategy for the hard right.
@vestralux: Well said.
I do feel that Trump pulled the troops from protecting the Kurds to distract from headlines about his tax returns and Deutsche Bank exposures. The cruelty of such an act that will result in their slaughter with no warning tells volumes about the man.
This was a weird meditation vision. At first, I thought Trump was in a coffin, but it was larger and it was a large box or small closet-like room with what looked like acoustic tiles all round it. He was yelling and screaming but the only thing I could hear was the Three Stooges theme song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE9kz5eMyrQ His hands were tied and he was desperately trying to use them. Then he started receding in the box, getting smaller and smaller and there were some trees beginning to get leaves appearing around the box when he vanished. Maybe the GOP has had enough and will force him out? It was just weird, especially the Three Stooges. Makes me wonder who the other stooges are. Pretty sure Giuliana and Barr are stooges, along with Trump - and in reality, there were six Stooges so that leaves room for at least three more.
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
Love your vision! There are a lot of stooges. Reminds me of SNL cold open Saturday night with Guiliani, Barr, and Pence.
George Washington: "99% of failures come from people who make excuses."
Thomas Jefferson: "Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching."
John Quincy Adams: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
Harry S. Truman: "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
Donald Trump: "my great and unmatched wisdom"
(They must be so proud)
I LOVE this vision!
The very first thing I thought of as you describe the coffin-like box from inside which T was shrieking is the weird practice that Victorian spiritualists devised for trapping unruly spirits or evil entities after they'd been conjured during seances (thus opening a portal for these forces to come and go indefinitely). They would build a small room in the center of the house and fill it with certain objects—ancestral photos, religious objects, etc.—then completely close it off, no entrance or exit. The purpose of this practice was to seal the portal they'd opened forever. ...Of course, many decades later, curious new property owners had/have a way of discovering these "dead spaces" while doing renovations, and it's rarely pretty, but I digress.
The very next thing I thought of was the SCIF, or Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, used by intelligence officials and members of Congress and the White House when sharing highly sensitive information. These small spaces are built to be acoustically impenetrable. We all know that T and his "stooges" have failed to use even reasonable means to protect information. And where they've been successful at keeping secrets, leakers (and now whistleblowers) abound.
According to a quick wiki glance, The Three Stooges was an American vaudeville act, and vaudeville (going on amidst all kinds of spiritualism, by the by) was "originally a comedy without psychological or moral intentions..." Right. Well, our contemporary players have clearly been trying to avoid the same themes—and just as clearly failed.
I love @deetoo's vision and @Jeanne-Mayelle's associated dream(s) too. Such good stuff here!
Your meditation vision of Trump in a small coffin-like box is kinda the same restrictive/punitive idea as the small flat box (similar to a pencil box) Trump was confined within in my recent dream (I wrote about it here a few days ago--it was a very odd dream!). In the dream, I saw him as a Betta fish who was apprehended along with 3 even smaller fish (like your 3 Stooges?!). The ending moments in my dream showed the 4 of them fiercely trying to break free since the box was airtight (like a coffin?!), then busting out of the box only to end up flailing and then dying in a small puddle on the ground. Both you and I were shown quite bizarre images of Trump greatly diminished, then gone!
