The person I 'got into it with' on FB said the media 'deliberately made false claims about what Turd said about the bleach, etc'. Then she turned my words around and said I said she was horrible, brain deal bla bla bla. It's unbelievable. And you are so correct - don't argue with these people - you can't 'win' and argument with them as they are too entrenched in their dogmatic beliefs, which includes the liberals are responsible for splitting apart the country because of their hatred of Turd. sigh 

Well that sounds so familiar. My husband's cousins said the same thing when confronted with the ridiculous Turd remarks about inhaling bleach etc. They learn their talking points from one another and on FOX, etc! Best to not bother to engage them!

People, as hard as it is , DO NOT ENGAGE!  These people don’t care that the great turd is the worst person on the planet, he is their messiah and you will never convince them of anything else .  Did you see the clip of number two in their hearts at the Mayo Clinic engaging without a mask?  He refused one.  Once again turd is touting his plastic princess as the second coming of Mother a Teresa.  All she has ever wanted to do is help out the little people, she has created millions of jobs.  If they are dumb enough to buy that there is no hope for them.  Just remember we out number them.  These crowds of people protesting their right to die with this awful virus aren’t as large as it looks in the pics.

as for the Biden sex scandal they are going to go after Joe with everything they have because that’s all they can do.  There is much worse stuff about turd and I truly believe it will come out .

I am going to re-post an article from Ireland next, but before I do and before you all read it, I want to way that after having sent it to my most conservative BFF, I was appalled at her reply. She got very defensive and said "With all due respect Ireland is not great, they have a lot of problems." BTW she's half Irish-American. I have been trying like hell to maintain hope for this 25+ year friendship, but more and more I feel like I can't hold on and may have to let go completely...

So read my next post and then you all weigh in. ❤️

From the Irish Times
April 25, 2020
By Fintan O’Toole

THE WORLD HAS LOVED, HATED AND ENVIED THE U.S. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE PITY IT

Fintan O’Toole: Donald Trump has destroyed the country he promised to make great again

The grotesque spectacle of the president openly inciting people (some of them armed) to take to the streets to oppose the restrictions that save lives is the manifestation of a political death wish. What are supposed to be daily briefings on the crisis, demonstrative of national unity in the face of a shared challenge, have been used by Trump merely to sow confusion and division. They provide a recurring horror show in which all the neuroses that haunt the American subconscious dance naked on live TV.

Will American prestige ever recover from this shameful episode? The US went into the coronavirus crisis with immense advantages: precious weeks of warning about what was coming, the world’s best concentration of medical and scientific expertise, effectively limitless financial resources, a military complex with stunning logistical capacity and most of the world’s leading technology corporations. Yet it managed to make itself the global epicentre of the pandemic.

Usually when this kind of outlandish idiocy is displaying itself, there is the comforting thought that, if things were really serious, it would all stop. People would sober up. Instead, a large part of the US has hit the bottle even harder. And the president, his party and their media allies keep supplying the drinks.

And this will get worse before it gets better. Trump has at least eight more months in power. In his inaugural address in 2017, he evoked “American carnage” and promised to make it stop. But now that the real carnage has arrived, he is revelling in it. He is in his element.

@Laura F holy. Moly!  That article should be posted in every reputable newspaper, social media site and read aloud on every street corner!  Reminds me of the old 60’s saying.  “Tell it like it is “.

@yogagirl, It’s hard to bring light to those who choose to live in a basement.

 

You’re right about not engaging.  It doesn’t help anyone, so why go there?

@laura-f, that seems right to me.  I pity us too right now.  The president is our horrible warning, of the good example he isn’t.

Link to Daily Kos article today:  Pupils the Size of Pie Tins

Not so much for the article itself - scroll down to the close up video and pics. We've discussed this on here before, but to reiterate - Drumpus is a long time stimulant addict (cocaine, adderall, whatever else). those are some huge pupils for a human in a very brightly lit room.

I recognize that any video or pic can be faked, but as @Lawrence and I can attest, this isn't exactly hot off the press - this is longstanding behavior, so unlikely that these are fake.

I had a dream last night that unfortunately I cannot remember well, but the one flash of it that stayed with me is that something happens this month to T. In the dream I am talking to my husband, and saying that I had been concerned that the predictions from @Lawrence, @Vestralux, @Baba and others that May will be "dark" for T might not happen and this nightmare might continue indefinitely, but something happened (still in May) that was VERY clear to me that this is IT. Brrrriiiiiiinnnngg!!!! Time's up, T. 

I'm thinking of @Coyote's prediction that T babbles senselessly WAY off the rails in such a way that his handlers and Fox can't convince the herd that it was intentional/acceptable. But I don't know what happened in the dream--the only thing that stayed with me was a sense of reassurance and clarity that the hold this nightmare has had over us was broken in a pivotal way. Even if he wasn't out of office, it just felt over, like the power had been drained out and there was hope for moving in a new direction.

Gosh, I hope this dream comes true--and this month at that!

@herondreams Interesting that you had this dream now and I’m glad that it was one of reassurance that  T’s power is soon to be gone.
I was meditating yesterday and had such a disturbing vision that I haven’t been able to bring myself to post it and I avoided trying to even look for anything while meditating today. It was a continuation of the theme that I had been seeing with Melania in her black dress dancing around but it came into sharper focus and it wasn’t pretty. Whatever happens, May is not going to be a great month for T. 

As this article points out, if T’s only hope for re-election is either trying to save the economy and gaining the votes of those who are for that or saving his senior citizen voters and not the economy, he will lose either way. Poling is definitely showing that at the moment: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/04/trump-needs-two-electoral-blocs-win-pandemic-is-driving-wedge-between-them/?utm_campaign=wp_opinions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
