@journeywithme2 Oh Man, I am sorry I have upset you! I didn't mean for you to feel that way. I was even trying to make it a little funny with the dog poop remark. You are the best, and I love what you post. You are a major contributor here of love and light. You were just posting what is all over the news today. Just can't stand that guy and although we need to stay abreast of the news, I would love to not have him be able to be quoted. Please accept my apology and a big huge hug of love and gratitude to you, sweet one. I think I have trauma around any words coming from the ex-pres and I can't figure out a nice way to make it stop. Love you and appreciate you.
We are all recovering from the trauma of four years with “the former guy.” Since the former guy was banned from Twitter, the awful, incessant noise of his daily tirades has stopped, but I still find myself getting triggered by Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and various GOP enablers. As if the past four years weren’t bad enough, we’ve also had the shock of an insurrection, another impeachment and another acquittal. Because I’m a glutton for history, I watched most of the impeachment trial and all the new videos of the attack on the Capitol. And watching those videos was very disturbing. A week later, I’m still coming to terms with those videos of violence against Congress. We need to take care of ourselves and take the space we need to heal. My husband and I decided we need to cut our consumption of politics for a start.
Lovendure’s poetry about a tsunami of justice resonates with me. We are going to watch a tsunami of criminal and civil cases brought against insurrectionists and instigators alike, not to mention all the lawsuits against the former guy that are already in the pipeline. On second thought, this may help me heal from the past four years!
On a different note. Any thoughts on the Lincoln Project? I think they've brought a lot of people comfort with their talks and shows on youtube in 2020. Bad things have happened/come to light now, but I find it hard to swallow that the entire project should suffer and go down. It seems like they are addressing the problems with sincerity.
They were such a force to be reckoned with, but ppl/backers are leaving them now. Makes me sad that something that makes 45th's family happy and filled with glee would come to pass.
- @jeanne-mayell ❤️ Dearest One ... thank you.. I wasn't upset for myself. I thoroughly understand why you would feel that way! That creature has flung the poop far and wide! Pragmatic that I am... whose chosen life career entailed dealing with a lot of poop and learning the health status of the patient from looking at the poop closely under a microscope... I sometimes forget... that others sensibilities get overwhelmed by it. Then? I feel sad that I distressed them. So big hugs and love you right back!
Yes! We have definitely all been in a state of trauma during the last 4 years! I have felt more relaxed since they banned "the former guy" from twitter. I do have to admit though that now I am angry at the GOP who are still trying to prop him up (suddenly I thought of the movie "Weekend at Bernies" where they act like Bernie is still alive though he's a corpse) - pardon my unique sense of humor there! I too get triggered by the same (Mitch, Lindsey, etc.). I've started reading my books on kindle at night though instead of looking at social media, which I didn't do as often the last four years.
I do look forward though to the lawsuits and justice that will come. It's needed to heal and enlighten.
The whole nightmare in Texas, the majority of the GOP in the senate, etc. is as a result of the corruption and deception by them over many years. I pray that the people in this country wake up soon though because we need to enable our leaders to make sweeping changes. The list is long and quite mighty but that's why we all need to keep sending love and light to our government, our nation and everyone who can make real change.
and @jeanne-mayell I actually laughed about your dog poop reference! I think humor is also a way to heal from some of this trauma. ?

Regarding LP, I think the best thing they can do is hire a solid and reputable PR firm on the downlow, and then stay silent while they re-group and bring in a totally new and previously unaffiliated administration. A formal statement of repudiation of - and distancing from - the former bosses will be needed, along with an aggressive re-branding and reiteration of their mission.
It seems that the Lincoln Project has put Tara Setmeyer in charge of change. She's outspoken, but already deep in the top-chain of the organisation. Still hope they'll pull through. SOme of these ppl are partly responsible for the GoP today, however, if they're changing tunes are willing to change I'm all for it. Steve Schmidt made a lot of mistakes, but he's a smart guy. Interesting to see if he will try to get into politics as a congressman himself.
I still like TLP. They are, I think, part of the reason mango lost. As long as they deal with what's happened in an honest manner and make things right, as much as possible, I hope they stick around.
"the former guy" LOL Gotta love Biden.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for Manhattan DA to get his taxes but it will be subjected to grand jury secrecy
