Lynn, to your comment about feeling that "he" is getting stronger, it does feel that way. I am particularly discouraged by Barr's unrecusal from the Epstein case and Barr's recent comments about Mueller's upcoming testimony in front of the house. It's easy to see him meddling in both situations. So, there's that. Then this morning, I woke at 4:30 a.m. from a dream about people being rounded up and having to wear a white striped crosshatched label. I saw these people in a long line with a spot light on them and myself in the shadow edge of that line until I, too, was marked with the label and the light shined on me. I think the dream referred to ICE roundups, which the news reported this morning will be starting in a few days.
Thanks for the thoughtful response Jeanne, I agree. This struggle is one I hear so often from many people these days, and what a lovely idea to have a separate post just to vent. a perfect example of what i meant by processing, accepting without judgement, and healthily expressing our anger.
Jeanne what you wrote above about denial and distraction reminds me of my sister in law. She will say something horrendous and then later deny she said it. I think it's a classic narcissistic trope, I've seen it countless times from people throughout my life. It's designed to confuse and disarm opponents.
Bluebelle, the ICE roundups are in fact supposed to start on Sunday. If it happens I imagine they'll be televised. If they work as the monster intends, it will further strengthen him. So I am hoping it's a public relations nightmare the causes him as much grief as he is causing immigrants. But that will depend on whether the public is sympathetic to people here unlawfully. I'm not sure on any given day we know the country we live in.
Yes, I do feel he's getting stronger, only because he's surrounded by enablers. When Lynn asked that question, the orange T**** blimp immediately flashed into my mind, then a flash of Eddie Murphy in the movie "the Nutty Professor." Murphy's character, Sherman, is watching Richard Simmons on TV, feeling very empty inside, and gorging himself. He nods off and has a dream where he becomes larger and larger, until he's looming over the city, like a big blimp. People are running and screaming, someone lights a match, and then someone yells, "he's gonna blow!" Which Sherman does, in a nasty way.
Parts of that movie, including that one, always made me feel uncomfortable, because I felt badly for Sherman. But that particular scene really makes me think of the orange monster. His appetites can't be satisfied, and he's getting bigger and bigger. But he's full of hot air. He's going to stupidly light his own match. And he's gonna destroy himself.
I'm so upset I'm shaking.
Yesterday on Yahoo there was a story of testimony regarding conditions in the detention centers.
A woman said, "My child is dying."
The guard yelled back, "Are they dead yet? Then shut up and stop crying."
I want to know where the money to help these children went - the $5.4 billion Pelosi agreed to in a bill she didn't want because "the children come first." When do they come first? Where is the help for them? This is outrageous.

Just imagine if he stays in office until the election. He can do one of these massive round ups the weekend before the election and depress the Hispanic vote/turnout. You know he'd do it if he thought it would help him win.
anybody getting anything about any of this?
So, I woke up to a picture in the press of Wilbur Ross, the orange one and the attorney general in a row at a press conference last night and noted that the two men flanking the president had on matching ties. It looked like they coordinated their outfits for the press conference, which to me is like fiddling while Rome is burning. Our lives should not be anyone’s reality tv show.
In any case, I threw a few cards (from the Rider Waite deck) and got the following:
For Wilbur, I drew Justice reversed. I understood this card at this time to mean dishonesty, flaws in legal logic and possibly a delay to him being held accountable.
For the orange one, I drew Four of Swords reversed. Strangely, a few days ago I go this card for him but upright. In this case, I understood the card to indicate stress, anxiety and possibly having to withdraw/ (be unable to be in public) due to illness.
For the AG, I drew the Page of Swords. I took this to be an indication of him being so focused on getting his way that he overplays his hand which could then result in problems for him.
Additionally, I drew two more cards, one for the day of the planned raids and one for the will of the American people and their reaction to the raids.
I drew the Three of Pentacles as the card for that day. I understood this as the pinnacle of the administration’s plan with regard to “the other” and that this, for them, is related to money that is being earned by imprisoning large numbers of people. Could it be that the Stonemason in the picture is ICE and that the couple is the country watching their work?
As to the will of the American people and their reaction, I drew the King of Cups. I understood this to mean that the American people overall are kind and tolerant and will be very angry if the raids are carried out. There will be an uproar if this goes through as planned. This gave me some hope.
As always, let me know if you interpret this differently.
Yesterday I was thinking about the very potent “Ditch Mitch” movement that was posted on this thread a couple of days ago. Mitch is very detrimental to our country and planet. We must get him out of power.
I decided to use an energy method on Mitch that I learned from a Hawaiian kahuna I studied with for several years. The method is offensive, not in the sense of hurting someone, but in the sense of getting someone (or something) to move. As I was energetically working on Mitch my sense was that he is very firmly rooted in the ground/his position of power. Yesterday, and again today, I did some work to get those roots to dry up so they can easily be pulled up and out. Even the mightiest oak tree will die if its roots dry out. Even the biggest tree will be uprooted if the winds (winds of change?) are strong enough.
Hawaiian protocol doesn’t allow me to share the method I used, but I think anyone reading this forum can either come up with their own offensive energy method or use a method they are already familiar with. I also gave some positive energy to Amy McGrath, in the form of a monetary donation.
Aloha to all.
