I absolutely agree. It's just incredibly disappointing that anyone holding such an office (along with his congressional enablers) is so blatantly and constitutionally incapable of personal accountability.
Like you, I'm the adult child of such a personality, as I know a lot of others here are, as well. Like @lynnventura said so well, this time in our nation's (nay, our world's) history has been particularly brutal in a deeply personal way. We're having to confront the pain and powerlessness that are the consequences of a historic reality in which powerful figures—those that head governments, corporations, the Church, and every other human institution—are too often those humans with outsized ambition, aggression, and willingness to deceive, alongside woefully insufficient empathy, remorse, or capacity to genuinely connect.

Painful, but so true.
In my view we're all going through a collective trauma, further complicated by any individual, past traumas that are being triggered by the abhorrent actions of this administration and its enablers. But I believe the only way out is through.
I also believe we should give ourselves credit for managing all of this as well as we have. Understandably, for the past 3 years many of us have experienced more periods of physically and emotionally feeling like crap – under the circumstances, how could we not -- but we are incredibly resilient. And from what I can see, we haven't lost our sense of decency, clarity of vision, and sense of humor.*
We’re a tough lot. We will get through this. And this too shall pass.

Indeed. ❤️
The overwhelming white nationalist sector of "the base" cry out endlessly about the impending "death of Western civilization," since people of color, foreigners, and Muslims—oh my—are rapidly outnumbering Anglo-Saxon white folks. And this is truly tragic to them because the imperialist, colonialist, militaristic excesses of Western civilization are, in their minds, the absolute pinnacle of human evolution. Unsurpassable!—they're sure of it. But even great cultures die and no one ever fought off the Reaper by pretending to freeze time.
What they can't see (or rather, feel), is that, while we benefit from the gifts of Western modernity (post-Enlightenment science, medicine, industry, technology, etc.), we're also dealing with the real world consequences of its failures in consciousness.
The collective pain we're enduring now isn't new. We were all born into a dense vibrational field of multigenerational, cultural, racial, environmental, and historical trauma. It looks like florescence to me, like static energy—dead light. (Not for nothing, but there are a lot of deceased spirits with unfinished business who've become trapped in that matrix to my eye.) Like an old tv program or a vicious malware code, unresolved trauma is designed to repeat. Unfortunately, that also means it accumulates. Perhaps it's strictly maya in a spiritual sense, but it feels like mass illusion/delusion has run right off the rails.
Trauma keeps us in survival mode: either hyper-activated/hypervigilant or frozen, numb, and dissociated. Disrelated. If the trauma we experience is chronic and ongoing, it literally inhibits development, waylaying our natural climb toward higher consciousness. If it's systemic, we become a population of endless consumers—addicted, glutinous, suppressed, zombified—willing to passively kill ourselves, each other, and our planet because we're either too numb to feel what is happening, or too damn triggered by it to awaken from the nightmare.
Of course, once we do start to wake up, to heal, our responsibility is to help others—even if just by kindness and the example of how we live. Some of us have a greater calling, a duty, toward this end, which is why we have so many lightworkers, shadow workers, empaths, sensitives, seers, therapists, healers, shamans, facilitators, pathfinders, and guides here now (and incoming). We're on the greatest transition team in the history of transition teams. And I think one thing we should all keep reminding each other is that yes, it's hard. It's really, really hard. We get here and we forget because the accumulated pain in this planet's trauma matrix generates temporary and repeated amnesia. But the pain we feel is everyone's, and that's part of what we signed up to do—to help hold it, for humanity. So, mission half-way accomplished, yeah?
And also this:
When it hurts especially badly, when we're angry and scared and we've forgotten the way and who we really are, we just have to remember to connect into the heart space. To just take a few breaths. Doing that, we can very quickly train the body to remember that we are not alone here— we are a radiant and powerful collective.
And as dark as it seems, we're actually succeeding in our work.

Although few people thought T would last as long as he has, many people on this site, going back to 2016 when we first started asking ourselves how his tenure would end, many have seen Trump's tenure ending with a health issue, mainly stroke or for some reason he'd go quiet. I had said he's just go quiet.
"The Trump Administration will end, not with a bang, but with a whimper." (Jeanne Mayell, December 2016)
Ive been thinking about this and have come to the conclusion that Trump has brought a significant portion of the country together after the left/right divide that has been happening over the last 30 years. Yes, his 30% base is off on their own little island, but they were there 30 years ago and will be there in another 30, Trump or not. The other 70% was splitting on political ideologies, but now they have come together in hatred of a common enemy-Donald J. Trump. Once we get out of this nightmare, that 70% is going to work hard together to keep this from ever happening again and instead of getting in esch others' way, we will all work together to trample the remaining 30% that has proudly joined the cult of Trump.
Your thoughts on “digestive” or bowel issues related to amphetamines or STD might not be far off ... I saw this awhile ago:
Nancy Pelosi interview today:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday that President Donald Trump's conduct is "so much worse" than that of former President Richard Nixon, adding that Trump is insecure about being an "imposter." ??
But it's really a sad thing," Pelosi continued. "What the president did was so much worse than even what Richard Nixon did. At some point, Richard Nixon cared about the country enough to recognize that this could not continue." (So for anyone who is not paying attention Trump don’t care about this country)
Acknowledging that Sondland's credibility is in question, Himes said it "was not lost on Ambassador Sondland what happened to" Trump associates Roger Stone and Michael Cohen "for lying to Congress."
My guess is Gordon Sondland is going to do his level best to tell the truth because, otherwise, he may have a very unpleasant legal future in front of him," said Himes, a member of the Intelligence Committee.
The president and perhaps some at the White House need to know is that the words of the president weigh a ton," she continued. "They are very significant. And he should not frivolously throw out insults. I think part of it is his own insecurity as an imposter. I think he knows full well he's in that office way over his head, and so he has to diminish everyone else."

We will send that charlatan in the White House back to the golden throne he came from." The line was among the most enthusiastically received during the speech. "There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical president who believes he is above the law," he added.
The most grave threat to the life and health of our democracy comes from within, from a president without ethical compass, without an understanding of or devotion to our Constitution and the beautiful series of checks and balances it established," he said.
Yikes. Thanks for sharing this, @saibh (although, lordy lordy, I should have opened that wearing some sort of hazmat suit since I feel like I need a decontamination shower now!). I found another article on the same blog's homepage about the neurosyphilis claim—bizarre. I wasn't educated on the longterm dormancy phase so I wasn't aware that syphilitic madness was still a thing. I want to believe the man would have noticed a lesion, but ... yeah.
And I had NO IDEA about anyone from the Apprentice breaking an NDA to publicly claim that The Don not only snorts prescription Adderall, much less to allege that he's also been wearing adult diapers due to subsequent bowel incontinence, since circa 2007(!).
Back when I first saw amphetamine toxicity in T's energy (I actually heard those words clearly in my mind at the time; not sure I'd ever even heard of it before that), I wasn't expecting it. I didn't expect T to be a drug user at all, so when that came through, it was surprising and felt all the more true. (Those are the things I know I can trust most.) Then I realized several other people here were seeing something similar, and even heard an MSNBC host make a joke about it a couple of days later, I think.
I can't personally get a clear read on whether the diaper allegation is true (though I've definitely seen incontinence for him, I just assumed it was in his future). I watched the video clip linked on the blog, and yes, his pants do seem oddly bunched. Not suggesting the man made this up. I just know how vicious office (and presumably tv production set) gossip can get, especially under toxic leadership. It spreads light-speed-fast and has a way of getting totally out of hand. So, although this bit of info maybe fits my own and many other peoples' energy read, not to mention the side effects of that kind of long term drug abuse, I want to be ...fair? I don't know. Someone else here will know what's up.
I have seen articles that say that he was there between 2 and 4 hours. However, I read some of the alt government accounts, and it seems that today Mango has no public availability either. Lets see if the press picks up on this, and watch to see how he looks when he finally is seen in public. The prediction that he has some sort of visible mental meltdown or impairment comes to mind.
Trump is either still in the hospital, or incapacitated somehow from the hosputal visit. All of his tweets yesterday, thru his last one less than an hour ago were written by someone else, but in a way as to make it seem like his typical morning lashout. Usyally when someone else tweets for him, they arent made to sound like his typical, unstable, self, but the last days worth are, yet the flow/style are different.
He's at the WH. NBC reported that he was seen leaving Walter Reed with a tan envelope under his arm.
He's always been unfit, but with all that's being exposed, I'm sure he's losing it. Most likely a panic attack or high blood pressure incident triggered by it all. Not only are there more and more credible witnesses to the Ukraine mess, but he's about to have his taxes revealed to congress. He's been hiding his taxes for eons. When he tried to sue an author over the claim that Drumpft wasn't a billionaire, the judge told him to prove what he was worth, and that would determine if he'd allow the case to go forward. Drumpft wouldn't comply. The case was dropped.
When his taxes get revealed (even if it's just to Congress), so will his connections to Vlad and company. I think it will also shed new light on the Russian interference in the election. Mueller has always seemed to me to be a historical figure in this all, and even tho many felt his hearing was a dud, I never saw it in the history books this way. It resonated loudly with me when Carter said he was illegitimate. Maybe that was because of the dream I had just after the election where spirit told me "Hillary is president."
I know that people don't think that he'd quit, but he won't have a choice. Agreeing to resign is the only way he can cut a non-prosecution deal. He's only free from prosecution as long as he's in office AND Barr is in place at this point in time. When one of those factors change, so does his legal standing.
If he is back at the WH, then he is incapacitated/drugged for some reason. Its not him tweeting but its definitely really being made to look like him. Theyre hiding the fact that he currently doesnt have the mental or physical capacity to use twitter-which is saying a lot right there.
Funny but what you said resonated with me. When I asked who would win the election 3 years ago I kept getting Hillery. I asked my friends and those I followed too. Everyone got Hillery.
All: So, if she actually did win, (minus the steal /cheating) then I wonder if there is ever any evidence that she was the real POTUS, thus making DJT illegitimate, could that change who is standing at the podium in 2021?
Yes, the drug use - it's long term and ongoing and I've always believed a combo of heredity, drugs and syphilis to be combining factors in the dementia.
Yes, the bowels - I'm sure he at least has IBS since all he eats is crap. Probably long term diverticulitis, which is why he avoids veggies and fruits. I've gotten images of him having to put on giant adult diapers. I hope his bowel twists and perforates...
Yes, Jarvanka et al flee - Croatia and Montenegro are across the water from Italy. Very pretty. Generally very racist. Croatia is in the EU, Montenegro is not. No extradition treaties.
.. but I gotta be real: I'm getting a serious case of precog schadenfreude just at the thought of the guy in diapers.
I wonder if this is why the "Trump Baby" balloon triggers him so much.
Well only getting worse for him. The house is now investigating wether he lied to Mueller ( oh so sweet)
Washington (CNN) - The House of Representatives is now investigating whether President Donald Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday.
"Did the President lie? Was the President not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" House general counsel Douglas Letter told the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit about why the House now needs access to grand jury material Mueller collected in his investigation.
The House's arguments Monday draw new focus to whether Trump had lied to Mueller following public revelations at Roger Stone's trial this month.
Former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates testified that Trump and Stone talked about information that was coming that could help the campaign in mid-2016, at a time when Stone was attempting to get secret details about stolen Democratic documents WikiLeaks had.
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort also apparently told the Mueller grand jury what Trump's approach to WikiLeaks had been in 2016, according to the Mueller report.
But Trump told Mueller in his written statements he didn't recall discussing WikiLeaks with Stone.
Mercury goes stationary tomorrow and direct on Wed at 2:11pm est. You'll probaby feel quite a bit lighter and more like yourself.
Also expect a lot of surprises with the impeachment investigation this week.
