Today's COVID-19 task force news conference by President Trump and his team was extremely challenging to watch and listen to!
I watched the entire thing and yes of course I felt my emotions connecting and getting aggravated at the entire theater of the absurd!
I started doing what I usually do, which is really looking at them for emotions (or lack of them)and then into and eventually through them to the truth.
I look for all the tells, the subtle body signals we all subconsciously make. Initially the blonde woman doctor had a very telling and very immediate quick head pull to her right every single time Trump lies. She bobble headed with the entire larger back row initially but then came the tell to her right. Over and over repeated each and every day.
But after many of these news conferences she suddenly, completely or almost completely got it under control and wasn't doing it any more. Wow! When I heard her give a private interview with a journalist a few days ago she very clearly made statements acknowledging that the president likes to be "optimistic" but his comments didn't coincide with current medical information that had been released. Another wow.
I'd already watched Dr.Fauci give almost imperceptible tells as well--a quick, tiny lower side of his mouth twitch (which I saw as the beginning of a quick pleased smile) when he'd quite deftly played Trump and reiterated part of a comment by Trump but saying quite the opposite of him. I loved it!
Ah I remember thinking, science will eventually win here. He's still getting to stay in his truth and in there in the team, just by very carefully holding his space to stay in the game and hold his own! He did it 3 or 4 times today. Subtle correction of Trump but in a conciliatory even somewhat placating Trump way and into a nodding sort of agreement by him.
Dr. Fauci said in another private interview "You know I said I will always be frank and honest with you about the facts" but "I'm not here to politicize this" and he's trying to do that.
He doesn't antagonize Trump directly or even egg him on with facts or figures or "you saids" as the aggravated and frustrated journalists sometimes do but he stays in there and tries to self correct the understanding.
It just that Trump can't hold on to facts or even thoughts much less factual statistics or the reality of our situation, so he never advances by very much. Today he actually loss it completely!
The gigantic furious loss of control and yelling at Peter the journalist who was simply asking for an explanation of differences in saying they'd do one thing and then seemingly not have done anything at all since yesterdays conference.
It was incredibly, expressively volatile by Trump and the fire and fury shook me in its ugliness to the core. I had to really, really shake off the energy in all ways! No way was I letting that stay with me and turn me into him emotionally and reactively.
Even though we all have that volatile anger in us as our shared shadow, I recognize it and exorcise it for my own good as much as I can and its challenging and tricky but it's for my mental and physical health to recognize it and let it go. For my own good and the good of the collective world.
It was indeed, pretty obvious that he can only focus on using White House briefings as not only his contant need for praise and affirmation but even more desperately needing the approval of the base while playing their tune in his own twisted platform of using a news conference to make up for his desperately needing and missing his own political rallies.
He is desperate to win, be best (thank you, Melania) and be seen as a true wartime president better and best than any president, during any war of any time.
You did it Mr. Trump. Not President, not presidential President Trump just Mr. Always needy, completely breaking down and regressing more and more into older and older patterns of either the big baby balloon all puffed up having the air knocked out of him at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and knowing it but trying to stay inflated and upright none the less.
No longer aggravated by him, certainly not angry or furious at him (phew!) just sad that he's so stuck in the bravado bully child that he can't seem to truly escape or spiritually transform his vibrational energy from such a low level to the beautiful and transformative light of spiritual growth and love
Oh my what a show we had today!
It's actually sad, the people who continue to ignore the advice of science in favour of Trump's rose coloured glasses are most likely to suffer the Darwinian consequences regardless of our attempts to shine a light. There is a term for this that I can't recall.
I've seen the term "trumpademic" used a few times recently. History is cruel, I suspect the mismanagement of this crisis will mean that will become the term applied to this, Covid-19, will merely be the academic term. I believe someone predicted the trump name would become reviled the world over. Given both the deaths and long term health consequences we are just now learning about, if this is not the event, I really am at a loss to what could come next.
I am glad you have someone like Faucii down there.
You mean 'Winning a Darwin Award"? "The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions" Here in the Deep South we call that "Hold my beer, Watch 'is" or "Pour some bleach in that gene pool son"
I am livid right now. They are trying to cut protections for disabled students via the COVID relief bill under the guise of flexibility. When When WHEN are these people going to go away?
The most vulnerable always get the shaft. I'm so sick of it.
You can thank the Turtle faced turd for that... I swear.. .I despise his mewling fawning greedy worship of all things GOP and Fearless Leader.. almost more than listening to Orange Foolius.
Thank you everyone for your warm welcome! ? I can really feel it, and it's a nice change from the fear and uncertainty of recent days.
He's probably the only person on earth who makes sane people feel like beating up an appliance.
That made me laugh so hard, thank you!

AKA "Hey y'all, lookit me!"
AKA "Well that gene pool was always shallow"
So, I was reading an Australian psychic blog and here's a prediction they posted in response to COVID-19.
"Spirit Friends: Possibility Trump and family flees the US, with intention of governing from off shore: May/June"
I was taken aback when I read that because isn't there a few predictions on this forum about 45 and his family getting away?
@carmen Yes, I saw Trump family fleeing. See below predictions made on 11.11.19 for March 2020. Once the virus explodes in April, it makes sense that Trump will flee with his family and pretend to lead off shore. It will explode in the U.S. because Trump did nothing to prepare, and he and his GOP colleagues even lied and told people not to worry, so no tests, no ventilators, no masks, and Americans going around spreading the virus -- even though we now know he had the intelligence information that it was coming here in a big way. So when it explodes he will need to escape to avoid mobs coming after him. I also had seen back in October 9 2019 reading that there would be a big ruckus of stress in the American public in April.
- Someone is helping some people escape by boat. The man looks like Jared Kushner. (Jeanne Mayell) Predicted 10.9.19
- I see wealthy people on an elegant stone terrace high above the Aegean Sea. I wonder if Jared and Ivanka are there as well and the feeling is that they have left the U.S. (Jeanne Mayell) Predicted 10.9.19
- I see Trump looking out the window of a plane, possibly running away. Jared is looking out for himself. Ivanka is left holding the bag, dealing with the broken pieces. A mother looking out for her kids. (Bright Opal)Predicted 10.9.19
- I see men in suits and Trump who has his chest exposed and looks like an orange round baby, like the balloon that shows him in diapers. I see a woman half clothed in this image with a suitcase walking in. I think it is another scandal and that Trump is in big trouble. (Jeanne Mayell) Predicted 10.9.19
There are many other predictions for March that speak to the pandemic. These are just a few that we saw on 11.11.19, but there are many more:
- A Viking boat in the ocean with its dragon head pointed west. (Mike B) 11.11.19 for 2020
- I see a disease that takes the attention away from power to survival. I see a rapid shift, decline to survival. (Andrew Posey)
- The US is looked at as one country, not blue and red states finally, because of changes in government. (Molly) [This one fits the fact that the congress and president are saying they will provide checks to everyone as well as sick leave.]
- Daffodils in the spring begin to symbolize something new. The Plains states have a good growing season. (Bluebelle)
- Rabbits and a pink sunrise and a new day, a starting over. (Andrew Posey) Predicted 10.9.19
- There is a major public event that has us reeling. (Andrew Posey)
@enkasongwriter, I can't know for sure, and no one can know for sure, but last year before I knew there would be a pandemic, I had seen April as a difficult month. May will also likely be hard. After that, I am not sure. People really need to socially distance.
Also -- despite the hype that masks do not work, they are helpful protection. If you have a way to cover your face when you have to be near non-family people, then do so. Sew a face-mask to wear when you are out and then wash and dry it in the dryer when you get home.
@enkasongwriter, April and possibly be May will be the hardest months. But even after that. People really need to socially distance.

Also, wear gloves when you are outside your house. Any gloves, they don't have to be exam gloves. We're using work gloves that are rubber-grippy on the palms and fingers, we wash them when we come back home, remove them and then wash our hands.
And to reiterate a thing I said before - kick off your shoes by your door when you come in, don't walk thru the house with them until you spray them with Lysol or soapy water.
I remember those predictions so well. But where would trump go? Antarctica? I doubt that, but it’s the only place without the virus. Or is it angry people he’s escaping and not so much the virus?
This group is such a comfort in these times. Thank you and all so much!

The Mango Moron is losing it alright. Just watching the "experts" that stand behind him when he talks. Eye rolls, hand onface to keep from laughing etc. You can not listen to him. Sadly his minions will, Sadly for them that is. DoNOT expect anything good from MoscowMitch. I'm from Ky and I have said this over and over. If he can screw the American people especially the poor and vunerable he will. He is a hollow meanspirited power hungry man! He thinks he can swoop into KY a month before the election and drop a wad of KochCash and promise some significate legilation that will help the most vunerable people so they vote for him then he turns around when elected and laughs at them. He did that in 2008 (?) with no child left behind and the last election with the recovery of benefits and retirement for the coal miners. He actually admitted to a reporter that was what he did. Amy McGraft is our best chance in a long time. Unfortunately there are those backward people in the the state that believe a womens place is in the home having babies that they can't feed but God will bless and keep them. They are disappointed over and over but will not vote for anythingbut a rich old white liar!
I saw a post from my friend here in Louisville who is a psychic. She saw a time line similar to what is on here. She said April and May will be the peak but that the virus will continue but will be able to be contained from the knowlegde we gain now. She also sees a recession. She agrees with many that this will be the end of Mangos presidency. People get sick of the lies and the bullying. I haven't seen much on his wifey. I know she postd something ontwitter and took a beating for it but then she is as clueless and her husband and his spawn.
Oh yeah and this will really send Mango into a tailspin. Mar-log-o has been closed, the staff fired and the golf club shuttered! I also saw (not verified) that aid is being sent to Red states first and the blue stateds can "fend for themselves". One thing is for sure if the Lyin King can make money off of this he will.
The attack on the media was not unexpected. I think I am slowly becoming numb.
That's what he does. The reporter's stunned face, and measured silence was priceless. He is my new hero.
He is no longer able to hold his mass rallies; he was getting a lot of energy from those, almost as if it put him in some altered state. Now he no longer has that; he's like a caged animal. Being cut off from all that adulation means he's running down. His batteries aren't getting recharged. If I'm right we're going to see him get worse over the next weeks. It's not pretty but it might accelerate his downfall.
@yogagirl things have been so chaotic that I haven't been able to trust my intuition much at all of late. That being said, I woke up this morning with a sense of calm that I haven't felt at all in recent weeks. I just feel like *Mango* and the larger GOP has been exposed and that the is ONLY the beginning of their downfall.
A few months ago now, I had a dream of Moscow Mitch with his head in his hands looking very distraught - I thought it was about impeachment but obviously that was not the correct interpretation. I wonder, however, if that was more about what is happening now? My own thoughts and emotions often get in the way because I loathe him (Mitch) SO MUCH but most of the time he is so unflappable that the dream stood out to me.
@turtle26, I remember reading an earlier post about Moscow Mitch with his head in his hands -- was that you? It sure feels spot on to me.
