Lmao. Touche!
Usually his press guys dont use randomly capitalized words. He might just one doing it for these instances, but I dismissed that idea as too smart for his group of buffoons and Miller is too focused on genocide and doesn't have time for tweets. I could be wrong though. It is weird that Moscow Mitchy is tweeting about talking to him. Too much effort into showing he is just fine.
Welcome! Thank you for sharing, that's actually quite a beautiful and poetic vision. I sincerely hope that might be the reason for all this insanity and I hope that we as a species/society learn from the hate and anger that is being forced to the surface by his actions.
I've said this before on the forum, but I feel no need to intervene if the universe wants to have its way with the wetiko-in-chief. That's how I feel about this new development in the White House saga: not joy, not pity, just acceptance.
That being said, I'm holding this situation lightly. I feel like there are going to be lots of twists and turns between now and Election Day (possibly after Nov. 3rd too); more surprises and potential sources of grief and frustration. This story isn't over.
Chris Christie was just hospitalized.
@georgia, welcome to the forum! I loved your beautiful vision -- very comforting. I'm glad you have joined our community, and hope you will continue to share with us.
Trump is worse off than he is saying. If you watch the video he just released 30 mins ago on Twitter, he wears down badly over the course of it and it looks like he had a strong heart palpatation or two(I get them occasionally so I know the effects on your facial expressions and demeanor).
He also is without tie and an unbuttoned shirt. For someone so focused on his appearance, this tells me that the buttons and tie were way too restrictive to his already labored breathing. It would take something that severe for him to go on camera not "perfectly dressed to a tee"
@lowtide Yes, here I am in Oklahoma where the I word is a legal term (not racist). according to wikipedia American I. is prefered. Where 1/32 I. is enough if you have an I card. Where my Mother worked in a government office for 20 years as a minority. Where I could have gone to Bacone College if I wanted. Where we don't have reservations, we have I land. I almost quit here, because it was you're just poor you don't understand.
What does it tell us that Christie and Steppian who were prepping him for the debate are positive along with Trump? Not rocket science.
Wow! First of all, welcome! It's nice to 'meet' you here in this virtual space. I used to be a massage therapist too for about 15 years. On behalf of your clients, thank you for doing the work you do. It's not always easy, but it makes a big difference to the people you touch.
Regarding your mediation vision, that is powerful. It clearly opened your heart and has given me good food for thought, too.
Thank you for sharing it.
@lovendures @yogagirl Me too. I was wondering where dijhandi ? Went. You get used to seeing people and then when you don’t, well I worry. Hoping they’re not sick or that everything is ok with them. If we all walked by each other on the street we probably wouldn’t know each other. But we still care about each other. As others have said before we are human and we aren’t perfect, by far. I totally suffer from the human condition. I’m trying to learn and not mess it up. We all are. I feel today was a good day even though people expressed their hurt. We all expressed that wasn’t the intent. And yes we should all check our words because they have the power to heal and hurt. But I have to say I couldn’t imagine not hearing from you all and reading your thoughts and comments. For me it’s a gift I get to enjoy each day. Love you all, sending you a big hug ?
@georgia Your experience makes a lot of sense to me, as I’ve had similar thoughts. Does anyone remember the wrath toward Susan Sarandon when she refused to back Hilary and said that perhaps DT was what the country needed to force necessary changes? I was aghast then and just remembered this crucial disagreement while reading Georgia’s thoughts & experiences. There is a strong argument for acknowledging the many personal lessons learned through difficult trials, in addition to the tragic sadness and insecurity of DT, his cold and lonely upbringing, lack of parental love, etc. These are not excuses bc he’s a grown man. Yet, he isn’t. As a former educator of adolescents, he reminds me so much of my former troubled students. Watching him during the debate really was a trigger for some tough memories of deeply disturbed kids. Sigh. I wanted to help or save them all; of course, I couldn’t.
I keep wondering why I feel calm and peace instead of fear and upset. Am I in denial? Is this my optimistic nature pushing through in defiance? I have felt great fear about the future, yet I have this strong feeling that despite the scary events that will occur regarding climate and angry people, we are being catapulted toward a newer humanity, albeit w less humans present. ?
Yes, I’m in a comfortable position until a major hurricane blows over the Cape and topples trees & dunes. But even w these threats, I know a reckoning of sorts is here and I’m powerless to change it. And, for once in my life, it’s okay. That what’s so weird about this calm feeling, an unexpected acceptance of whatever will be.
Offering love and light continues as I put one foot in front of the other, and keep going.

I don't remember that, however in 2016 an acquaintance surprised me when he confided he was voting for T because he actually thought the country needed to be "run off the road into a ditch" (his words) so it could be rebuilt. And now one of Biden's slogans is "Build Back Better".
@jeanne-mayell, I really like your definition of lightworker. I'm comfortable with that. It's not that I believe I have to achieve an angelic state ... I'm not sure what sometimes gives me pause with using that term. I will have to sit with that for a while.

he's long gone but that d#mned hand continues to tweet. Like Thing from The Addams Family on social media!
LOL! Although ... I do feel that's an unfair comparison. Thing performs various useful functions for the Addams Family (i.e., a "handservant"), whereas that d#mned hand tweets lies, hate and division, serving no one but himself. Just imagine ... a disembodied hand winning this comparison, hands-down ...
@polarberry, this video is for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEVBcmPzk4
Thanks, deetoo! I loved that. I always loved Thing and Lurch. I've never seen the remakes in their entirety. I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to movies and don't like many remakes. When I found out they were re-making Ghostbusters I needed therapy. I did love the headstone-wife and psycho. ? Pretty sure that's what mine will say.
Completely off topic but in reference to the Addams Family, my 8 year old daughter was watching the cartoon version and I decided to show her the original a couple days ago. She said its one of her favorite shows ever and binge watched it with me for hours. #prouddad
On a somewhat creepy note, I mistyped "completely" and it autocorrected to "cemetary"-is my autocorrect doing some foreshadowing or is it a crazy coincidence?
