Even Heather Cox Richardson thinks it’s over him

Possibly. Osteopathy is an approach that focuses on the mind-body connection and is growing in popularity. It is my understanding that it is still considered alternative medicine, and there is nothing wrong with that. The western world has been far too slow to embrace the benefits of alternative medicine, and still is. There is a strong need for Americans in particular to improve their overall health instead of just focusing on a problem area when it flares up.
My problem with Conley is not his chosen profession, but his lying and gaslighting, his sunny whitewashing of T.'s condition, and the crap-on-a-platter he's attempting to serve up about how T. is recovering from COVID better and faster than anyone ever. He backtracks, he won't answer questions. We have a guy masquerading as president (speaking of masques) who is more than likely completely off his rocker with who knows what drugs.
"He's back!", as he smiles big and points at the crowd. Really? What's the good doctor doing, auditioning for The Apprentice?
Rick Wilson tweeted "Masque of the Red-Hatted Death" on June 13, in response to Parscale's bragging about the number of people supposedly attending T.'s Tulsa rally. Lawrence Tribe described the story in a tweet on Oct 3rd as well. I've seen other references to it because it's frighteningly fitting.
So glad to see you! I get so much comfort and resonance from your visions.
I wanted to add to the thought about all the wounded boys who have been leading the country/world. I don't ever watch drumpf because even seeing a picture of him makes my energy drain. But I ended up watching his walk up the stairs when he got back from the hospital, and his very obvious trouble breathing. (In fact, I wonder if actually he took off the mask because he was having so much trouble breathing, and it just happens that he also made it a political statement). To my surprise, in that moment, I felt overwhelming compassion. I saw only a sad, lonely child who has only ever wanted to be loved, and who has never been. He is so alone. Everyone in his life loves him transactionally. I think maybe Ivanka loves him, but more like he was her child, and not him as a person. This happens to me at times, I see people (usually powerful angry men)'s souls and it is just a child. I wonder if this also means they are young souls.
Don't get me wrong, the compassion was momentary and generally eclipsed the second he started tweeting about the flu etc., but wanted to confirm that, in the end, all this evil comes from hurt.
Don't misread: He's going to get as crazy as we've seen him before he's gone. And his Base will match or surpass him. But w h a t e v e r happens, do NOT lose heart! Do not give up. Do not allow yourself to believe they've won.
We must stand as tall as we can in our spirits and steady ourselves totally. Imagine that, as a nation, we're in labor. Something beautiful is trying to be born that MUST be born for humanity to continue. For the planet to begin to heal. The contractions are hell but we have to keep breathing deeply, staying very very present with ourselves and one another—even those whose ideas we oppose. There's no other option.
What a beautiful way of looking at the pain in the midst of our transition away from this corrupt GOP government and T! So glad to see you back again Vestrulux! Have missed you. ❤️ ?
When I look within T. I see a a toddler who was abandoned, dismissed and not nurtured. I see his young self screaming when he doesn’t get his way. A part fearful of being a loser or ridiculed. I see a man using cruelty to feed his sense of aliveness and being the killer he was taught to be. I see a man who cannot empathize except in a manipulative way. I see a man who is beginning to doubt his instinct. He is a man desperate to get more not lose and willing to do anything. He underestimated the illnesses he has, they will make his usual navigations more difficult.
All beings deserve grace. I hold that grace for him should he accept it. Others who have been triggered or harmed by his policies and cruelty also have access to grace should they accept it.
Trump lost another appeal to block his tax records.
When this nightmare is over, you need to come to the States!
We could pig out on snert and poffertjes, pizza and cronuts.
He is one of my favorite writers also, and one of the few good things to emerge from the rather creepy Victorian era. I used to torture my kids by reciting The Raven and The Bells and The Sleeper and Annabelle Lee out loud. When my daughter realized what Annabelle Lee was about, she was so grossed out. lol
We have borne the thousand injuries of Twitler as best we could.
Laura F., hope all is well with you.
I posted a few days ago that I feel Trump is no longer useful to Russia because they know how this will end and that it will come soon.
I think he has received the 2020 version of a self-destruct order. He is going to tear down as much as he can and hurt as many people as he can before it all ends for him. He isn't worth the Russian investment because he will only be useful for a few more weeks. Your Hitler analogy is perfect-destroy what he can while he still has time since the plan didn't work out fully.
The Masque of the Red Death analogy is quite interesting. The fact that the plaque is inside the "house" leads me to believe that instead of watching the outside world suffer, he is locking government in with the plague and destroying it from the inside out, both literally(covid) and figuratively. I read this morning that he wanted to work in the Oval and I wouldnt be surprised to hear that he is infecting the WH in hopes that it lasts and infects the new administration from inside as well.
@mas1581 I think you're thinking of the Hitler/Nero Order comparison, that was actually me. It was called the Nero decree, and what is interesting is that in Germany, the Minister in charge of enacting asked for total power to carry it out. Hitler granted it. The Minister turned around and told everyone to disregard it. How sad that the GOP cares less about the country being destroyed than the frigging Third Reich.
