@dolphinspirit I know what you mean about having a psychotic parent. Before COVID-19, I was planning on leaving the area, but everything was held up in my planning.
They will never get away with it for any length of time because Trump can only have people tweet for him for so long but I can definitely see them brash enough to pull some Weekend at Bernie's antics while they try.
You haven't seen the movie Dave, have you? In any case, I thought Trump has staffers post tweets to his account regularly.
@mas1581. Glad you laughed. :-) Now promise me to find your words when you are upset and want to post here. I felt your pain and fear, especially for your precious children. And I want to surround your whole family and especially those little ones, with light and protection. That said, everyone please read the rules about word use. Wordpress has a way to delete people's "French" before they are published, but I haven't found a setting or plugin that will to do that yet in this particular forum. So help me out by holding them back. Thanks! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Won't happen again. I havent been that pissed in years and had all 3 kids solo. I didnt want to take it out in front of them so needed to explode somewhere. Sorry about that.
T took his mask off and stuffed it in his pocket. The poor staff.
Did you all see his "Return to the White House"? He stood on the balcony faced out towards the cameras and took his mask off, then just stood there for effect. The only thing missing was an adoring crowd cheering and tossing flowers at him. He went full Mussolini.
I am hoping it's the effect of the steroids which will wear off, and great will be the crash. But honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if even Karma-19 can't faze him.
@dolphinspirit The part about your mother is heartbreaking. Do you *have* to be her caregiver? I imagine you feel you should or have to, but theres got to be a plan that keeps you at a safe distance. I'm in the same place. Being around my mom is self-inflicted abuse and affects my family. It's hard. How on earth can I turn my back on my mom? But if I don't I will hate her soon. What to do?
Also I voted today and it felt fantastic. Long line in my tiny county auditors office. They said it had been packed all day.
@lowtide Yes his "return" photo op stunt was pretty disgusting. I did note he looked pretty out of breathe as he was standing there without a mask. Not sure if it was the trip up the stairs or Covid, but you could see him keep opening his mouth for air and his chest moving as he tried to catch his breathe.
@jewels thank you for your concern. I am fortunate in that she is in another state, yet that makes helping her more complex. We text daily and I cut the phone calls to three times a week. I order her food and supplies and she has not been around anyone since March.
These times are showing us all the ‘chickens coming home to roost.’ Today I allowed myself to notice how hard it has been. As a kid I felt if I took care of her we would be safe, little by little over the months that trauma bond is disorienting me. But knowing it will give me a chance to shore up. I have mostly thought I had moved beyond that early life torture, but I see care taking brings up more to heal.
There is no one else, she is too paranoid to allow hired help. And she estranged all other family and friends.
jewels I know how hard it can be. Let’s find as many possible option as we can and care take the disintegrated childhood parts that react and remember. I found a part last week with a story I had buried. So for whatever reason these times do require what needs to rise to rise.
i am also livid as well as being freaked out.
He walks up those stairs, stands still, abandoned then rips off his mask. And when he walks up to someone near him, I wonder wtf he is doing! He is either so petrified of losing for fearing he is a loser, or afraid of losing for fear of prison or murder by those he owes money to. Just thoughts, not psychic.
But all this is affecting my mental health even more. I have strange dreams often, but last night I was in my childhood home where a UPS man tried to assault me. And when people did arrive, they didn’t even try to help me. I couldn’t find a knife.
i couldn’t find a gun which I do have but never access. I woke up at 11 am!
To boot, my therapist is not making sense. She won’t wear a mask and doesn’t believe she will get COVID. She detests trump, though. She won’t see clients in person because she doesn’t want to put people at risk! But she believes she won’t get it??? She also is in much pain over the fact that at least 50 of her friends
lost their homes in the recent Oregon fires.
But it all sounds insane. Then trump pulls off his mask and tells people to not be afraid of the virus. Plus, Johnson says he will go in to vote for Barrett even if it means going in in a moonsuit. The world has gone crazy and maybe that’s why I had the dream that I was in great danger and without help. I’m thinking I will have ptsd even when the virus is considered over.

Its to the point with me where I'm numb to Trump's stupidity and antics. My short term meltdown today was because of all the idiots that worship and use the things he does as reason to be more selfish and destructive. With all the info out there and the fact that Trump, the most protected person on the planet, can get it should have been a wake up call to the idiots, but they have spun it to more justification to act like belligerent gradeschool bullies. I no longer care if maskless people pass away from covid. The reason I dont want them to contract it is because I don't want to see them give it to smart, caring, innocent people. Trump today made me hit my breaking point after seeing so much of that type of irresponsible behavior from so many people for so many years.
I truly believe that we should handle covid the same as we did HIV in the 80s. If you knowingly spread it with irresponsible behavior, you should be held accountable and charged with murder just as people were with HIV
I just saw his little Twitter video where he shows how strong and great he is feeling. He looks about 20-25 pounds lighter than he was a few days ago. I also saw the other video of him gasping for air and grimacing in pain while doing it. He definitely has a bad case of pneumonia, which means he is having a cytokine storm reaction. He isn't well and if he wasn't the President, he would definitely succumb to covid. The fact that he is and gets the best care out there because of it is the only thing that might save his life.
Lawrence, you were right about him getting bad news today. Im sure doctors told him how bad it is and how he shouldn't leave Reed. He is taping those "look mom, I'm feeling great" videos minutes after steroid treatments, when he is feeling good for a few mins. The scariest part of this, for him, is how unbelievably fast it has progressed. It usually takes 8-10 days after first symptoms for the worst cases to end up in the hospital. Assuming he started feeling symptoms on Wednesday, he was getting extensive treatments within 72 hours and at 5 days, can barely breathe. By the end of the week he will be on a ventilator or worse unless he is the luckiest person out there(a definite possibility if you look at his life thusfar). If assumptions of recent strokes are true, he might not even live til the next scheduled debate because covid will increase the risk of a major stroke or clot 100 fold.
This is based solely off of my medical knowledge and my assumption of the level of care he is getting. I will leave the psychic abilities to Lawrence, as he is much more astute than I am in that area.
I say he has between a 20-35% chance of survival(dependant on how combative he is to treatment) based on what I have seen and how his treatment has gone.
I still think it is not yet over for him. In addition to that, since a few days I always get in my head , something big is happening. I am not yet able to tell what.
But he did not learn a thing , he as ignorant as he was before. And now he tells people Covid is not that bad.
Unbelievable...
But he was released too early and as Biden I would not go to the debate before the T is absolutely free of Covid. But how can you prove that, he will most likely lie about that as well..
4 weeks to go , then we know who won the election. I am not even American and even I am so curios and anxious about the election, for you in US it must be nerve wracking..
All the best !!
I strongly suspect that even if he does actually improve, there will be no more debates. There may be one VP debate, but no more for the Orange One and Biden. If there is a VP debate, I'll be there with bells on and a big tub of popcorn to watch Ms. Harris shred Pence into tiny little pieces. :-)
