May Hope and History Rhyme (Trump#116)

[lionheart]

With thanks to Seamus Heaney for inspiring the President Elect.

"History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme."

No hacking, except during the election?
Makes sense.

I was thinking this morning and the one downside of Trump leaving is that these threads will really go downhill for lack of content

Repairs will take a very long time to complete.

A good man.

Compared to barely human.

On Friday, Donald Trump, a president whose behaviour has been widely compared to that of a toddler, both celebrated Food and Drug Administration approval of the Moderna vaccine and retweeted messages claiming mask mandates and social lockdowns do not work.

I think America is really damaged by Trump the divisions are very deep now. Sadly he targeted the most vulnerable and it will take them a long time to trust a new leadership. Also next Generation is hopeful so plenty to write about there

Sidney Powell and martial law all trending on Twitter now he is certainly going out with a bang

Just checking into the new thread, thanks lionheart

Ah I've found you again. Praise be!

Am still drunk on schadenfreude that my ex's new woman is jobless and hopefully arrested once things get moving. I know that makes me bad. I don't care.

hopefully arrested once things get moving.

For real? Do you know something that makes that likely?

(Or is is just a completely understandable fantasy of poetic justice?)

@PerkingFaintly long backstory. My ex left me for someone who works directly with trump. Her social media (when added to other media context) suggests she's deliberately misrepresented a lot of pretty important things.

I'm kinda being facetious as I slowly get over the man I spent years of my life with. But it still makes me sad beyond description that I was dropped for a business opportunity.

I remember your hideous backstory, Mrsm.

I imagine it will be extremely satisfying (in a broken-hearted sort of way), if any of them make it over the boundary from morally bankrupt wrongdoing, to the sort of wrongdoing that has minimum sentencing involved.

Mrsmorton Schadenfreude is most certainly allowed if the subject has in any way supported or willingly worked for Trump and his administration over the last 4 years. I will enjoy some remotely on your behalf.

Thank you @PerkingFaintly and @TheNorthWestPawsage this has been an exceptionally cathartic 6 weeks, it feels like it's tipped me over the "getting over it" crest. I really appreciate your words.

Mrsmorton

Wow, just wow Mrsmorton. That really is the very definition of schadenfreude. Thrilled for you.

Oh you've Made me a bit weepy. Thank you so much.

Mrsmorton to you, there's nothing like a bit of karma

Sidney Powell and martial law all trending on Twitter now he is certainly going out with a bang

Not only martial law but also marshal and marshall law

@Mrsmorton Karma is a bitch.
A wonderful bitch

Late to the party, but I too am delighted for you, MrsMorton.

In Texas, evangelical Republicans rally to keep Trump: He’s part of ‘the Divine Plan’

“There is a certain segment of evangelical Christianity that is all-in for Trump,” Wilson wrote via email.

“ ... Some evangelicals really do see Trump as an instrument of the Divine Plan. How could such a person possibly be defeated?”

Trump has more evangelical support than any American political candidate since William Jennings Bryan, Wilson wrote.

“It stems in large part from the fact that evangelicals see their ideal of America as a godly commonwealth in existential danger,” Wilson wrote.

“Desperation tends to produce radicalization, and push people to extreme measures (like denying electoral reality and indulging in bizarre conspiracy theories).”

Bruce teach me to not have my glasses on

MSM need to agree to ignore his future utterances or at least call them out as lies from the start. Don't give him unfiltered oxygen like they did in 2016.
