@vestralux, @lovendures, @triciact, @jessi1978, @kimskorner, @rosieheart, @ana,
Wow … so many of us have been drawn to pray for Chris Christie. I still feel that way, and will continue to do so.
@vestralux, I totally agree with your perceptions about Christie. During my meditation I sensed his feelings of guilt and the deep fear associated with that. That’s why, in addition to sending him compassionate light, I sensed it really important that he love and accept himself. I feel that only through the humility of total self-acceptance – flaws and all -- can any of us heal and move forward. I think with that self-acceptance would come the sadness, but it need not end there.
I agree that Christie despises T, but like so many others who hopped on the T bandwagon, the end justified the means. But you have to ask yourself – to what “end”? That’s the insanity of it. You can’t take it with you – the money, the deluded sense of earthly power – none of it. We’re spiritual beings, first and foremost, having a human experience.
Vestralux, I also agree with you about the psychological connection between Christie and Cohen. Very similar, thuggish personalities. I don’t know Christie’s history, but in Cohen’s case, he freely acknowledges his life-long fascination with the mob. During the summers when Cohen was a teenage, he worked at the pool of a Brooklyn club that was frequented by mobsters. These wise guys took a shine to Cohen and took him under their wing. He loved their lifestyle, the power they wielded whenever they entered a room, how they resolved issues … all of it. Cohen was so enamored with them that he began using that tough guy, wannabe-gangster speak around the house. His father told him to knock it off, reminding Cohen that he was nothing like a mobster. He expected his son to be a surgeon like him, or a lawyer like his Uncle Ralph. Cohen said he decided as a kid that he would practice law, but he would practice it like a gangster. And we all know how that turned out.
Hmmmm .. so..... apparently there is no chance of said commission to act until Spring... I wonder what master player Pelosi has up her sleeve??? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2020/oct/09/donald-trump-nancy-pelosi-25th-joe-biden-coronavirus-covid-us-election-live-updates
and this? was reported just 35 seconds ago: "The Supreme Court announced that it will hear oral arguments for cases virtually in November and December and will provide live audio feed of the hearings. The court will follow the same format it has been using for its new term starting this month.
The justices have not heard arguments in person since early March. In a press release, the court said it will determine plans for January’s arguments soon. "
also from the Guardian US
i don’t get it. Unless the message is, if you get re-elected we will have more backstops against you.
How I see this is that she is expecting the GOP to come after Biden in that way, as they have already done. She knows the bill will pass the House and die in the Senate. When Biden takes over, if the GOP wants to go after him with the 25th in retaliation, she will then have the dead bill to throw at them. "If you were so worried about it, why didn't you pass the bill? It was too soon before the election to have any effect on Trump so you showed that you have no interest in the 25th being used on Biden, or any POTUS."
After reading the news, I think you’re exactly right. As soon as I heard about this yesterday I knew the legislation wouldn’t see the light of day in the senate, and that Nancy had something up her sleeve. She doesn’t call forces to battle unless she knows the outcome four or five chess moves ahead. She’s thinking long term and Biden’s mental acuity will be the “but her emails” of the Biden administration.
Though I do wish she’d take a risk now and again to help out in the immediate.
My gut still isn’t
are any of you getting a read on what Moscow Mitch is planning, will he push for the confirmation after all the news, will two more senator deflect. Some are already seem to be stepping back,
My gut isn’t registering anything on this. Like — anything. I don’t know if that means “try a different question” or “It won’t happen.”
It’s a page or so away, so I can’t quote it properly in this reply but re: Trump pulling out of the race — I’m not getting nothing concrete here either, but what’s different about this feeling is a gigantic knot of confusion is what I get out of it as opposed to just “nothing”. This might be worth throwing some cards on today, but I fear it’s something I want so badly - a resignation or a dishonorable discharge (so to speak) that I’d go into the cards and read that while missing something else or an accurate timeline.
I think someone said October 12-16 will be a time to watch — I wonder if something’ll happen with the originally proposed debate that solidifies the outcome. Trump wants to do a rally, is Biden actually doing the ABC town hall I heard about? (Honestly haven’t looked - there’s so much news on every front it’s overwhelming!)
@dannyboy well Trump tweeted this jewel: "Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!! " and " Covid Relief Negotiations are moving along. Go Big!"
I would love to be a fly on the wall to private parts of this conversation:
Great name. :)
I am sorry about the vision of Chris Christie. I told my loved one last night that I don't think he will survive. Also I still feel Trump will succumb.
I never read this forum during the day. I read it with my lovey cat every night with a glass of warm milk.
Today I felt the need for kinship.
Ever since all the villains began to fall, and that vision of the eagle plucking them out the window to their death has been on my mind & has put me in to a bit of a psychic tailspin. Getting my bearings again.
Hope the news we have been waiting for all these years will arrive today.
Concerning the raccoons-- so we can agree they are masked tricksters spreading chaos and that that is what this entire administration has done for nearly 4 years--- but why are the raccoons suddenly running amok? Are they directly reflecting that the administration is running amok worse than ever? Like, a spillover of all the manic trickster energy in the White House?
Or could they be possibly manifestations of energies opposing the administration?
Or--- thinking about it some more-- maybe both: Trickster energy from the administration looping back to destroy itself? (Hence the mask/disguise symbology?)

"Will be doing show with Rush Limbaugh"
Ugh. To be that out of touch with reality.
I hear he’s also doing a live medical examination on Fox tonight. I’d love to watch it, but it’s been ages since I’ve organized my sock drawer. And dusted the ceiling fans. And changed the batteries on my smoke alarms. And individually scrubbed every piece of silverware in the drawer. And do literally anything else.
@ana as I was reading your query... this popped in my mind. Raccoons are one of the biggest percentage of rabies vectors and are known as "rabies vector species" along with foxes,skunks and bats. You can tell if they are rabid by their unusual behaviors during the illness preceding death in 1-3 days after infection.
