@jholmes, I agree with what's been said about Buttigieg's response. To feel sorry for T., and as you and @Baba stated, not to feed his narcissistic energy. It's the healthiest way to respond.
But I do think we should cut ourselves some slack. I believe were he not in such a position of power to destroy so many peoples' lives, we would find it much easier to be compassionate. It's terrifying. So some of us respond to his cruelty and insanity with ridicule, outrage and contempt. And I believe that happens because we feel powerless. This is quite the test for us, isn't it? It certainly is for me. I don't like seeing that nasty side of myself. And I don't like how it feels. I lose contact with my divine spirit when I succumb to that. My daily prayer is to look at T. through eyes of compassion, and at the same time, fight against his darkness. I'm not always successful, but I try.
What sometimes helps me is to picture T. when he was a small child. It makes it easier to see his fear, sadness and paranoia.
And, as you wisely stated: "Just. Stop. Watching."
Sharpie gate ? For a good laugh cause that’s all we can do is just laugh
I loved this statement he made
"I don't know if he felt it necessary to pull out a sharpie and change the map, I don't know if one of his aides felt they had to do that to protect his ego. No matter how you cut it, this is an unbelievably sad state of affairs for our country," Buttigieg told CNN.
"Look, when the presidency has been reduced to this, all of us are diminished because the presidency is supposed to be something we all look up to, even if we disagree with the President... what we're seeing there is literally pathetic," he continued. "It makes you feel a kind of pity for everybody involved, and that's not how I want to feel about a president whether it's for my party or the other."
How I miss a grown up in the White House sadly there is no one there.
well he isn't the first illegitimate president we have had, I suspect. I am pretty sure that were it not for Joe Kennedy's hanky-panky in Chicago that Nixon would have won that 1960 election. Also, if you want to talk about voting irregularities - that election was filled with them. I also think Bush had help in Florida to steal that election from Gore. Alas, this is nothing new.
And I have to say, it makes me laugh about these idiots talking about the pedophile Clintons, the illegitimate Obamas yada yada yada. The Republicans gunned so hard for both Bill and Hillary, not to mention Obama - does anybody honestly think if there had been any there there that they wouldn't have found it?
I did some scrying on Trump with a black bowl of liquid and candle wax. Someting is indeed going on with his mental health and physical health. I see strange spots appearing on what looks like his head and body.
@grayson
Thanks for sharing the image. It looks like a ghost (on the left) is sticking him (on the right) in the behind and he looks like he’s bewildered and in pain. It portends a mental breakdown which I feel has already happened and shows doctors knocking him up with tranquilizers.
As I was returning from the wilderness today I overheard Canadian airport security joking loudly and openly about the clown in the Oval Office. They were derisively laughing at his idiotic suggestion to nuke the hurricane followed by his Alabama gaffe and our Government’s attempts to cover it all up.
As I walked away from them a clear knowing came to me that reflects what others have posted here —that Donald Trump will soon fall flat and be remembered as a pathetic clown of a president. That he will be a momentary blip in our history.
Interesting... I have never seen scrying done. The images do look unsettling.
Regarding scrying. I’ve never heard it called that before but you can create any abstract image using tea leaves, coffee grounds, mud, drips in tile or glass from the shower and look at the image with a question in your mind. Then allow the abstract formations to suggest something to you. That’s how the Rorschach ink blot test works. What you “see” in the abstract image becomes your intuitive vision.
You can also just start scribbling or playing around with a paintbrush and then step back and see what the image suggests to you.
I used to see the collective emotions of our country by staring at the drips coming off the tiles in my health club showers. I allowed each tile to represent a year and then I’d “see” a graph from the drips which then described quite accurately the state of the collective.
