There are simply too many irons in the fire for someone not to get burned.
This story is not going to disappear.
It is not going to go silent.
The truth cannot be hidden for long.

(1,176 posts)Just after my husband died, my mother in law became a born again Christian. She started attending Tilton's Word of Faith church in Farmers Branch Texas. She begged me to go with her. To appease her, I went. I was appalled. There were crutches, and leg braces hung all around the sanctuary. During the service , he began to yell and speak in tongues. More like jibberish. Of course, there were spontaneous healings. I was only 23, but even then I knew this was all a racket. Needless to say, I never went with her again. We were never close after that.

fierywoman
(7,683 posts)I flit between Z Queen's Tarot (I find her fascinating but so intense I sometimes just can't listen -- but she's predicted a shitload of stuff), Tarot's Apprentice, Rosie (again, very intense but you need to understand that she goes into her accented schtick, I think, because it allows her to leave herself to go where she goes. She predicted the horror at the border that we all later became aware of at the time --months and months ago -- about what was really happening to the children. ) I also enjoy Marie's Table (I have a weakness for southern accents, y'all!) Kirsten Langston's 3rd eye champagne. Psychic Violetta I find very pure -- she reads in imagery which obviously needs an interpretation and she welcomes her listeners' input.
For those who are arguing against this line of thinking, wondering: well, bless your hearts. I remember reading a NYT transcript of a speech Osama Bin Laden gave where, in the second hour, he spoke of the women in the camp who were coming to him with visions of planes flying into buildings (this was very soon before the 9-11 attack.) Obviously, they "saw" what was about to happen. He told them to stop being silly women. (Of course.)
Tarot, astrology, clairvoyance, etc are very interesting NOT to "tell the future" (fortune tell) but to get an idea of which way the wind is blowing. Check out Carl Jung's forays into this stuff (including the I Ching.) Any good reader will tell you they're not 100% (the good ones are about 80%) and they all laugh about how it doesn't work to predict timing. Astrology can often give a better sense of timing stressful situations, but as the fabulous British astrologer Nick Campion said (after he said astrology didn't work as fortune telling) that astrology can tell you that in a certain time period you may be having a nervous breakdown or leaking pipes (the common metaphor between the two, would be water, aka emotionality.) Campion also said that astrology is not a belief system, it's a phenomenon.
FWIW the astrologers are seeing an intense crunch time for Spanky in January 2020. And FWIW, astrologers have been talking about this period of time as being a time or great upheaval in governments since the early 1990s -- at least that's when I started reading astrology.

dewsgirl
(14,961 posts)Violetta is another one I watch occasionally. I I have watched Rosie for about a yr, I never thought about that about her silly voices, definitely possible. I have only been watching the others for the last couple of weeks, most of them are very knowledgeable and they discuss topics MSM never would.
I will check them out.
Here is Grace Gezant discussing the month of December and Trump's tax returns. They all seem to think the Supreme Court will not take up the case.

Message to Paul Ryan: You know, this would be a good time to become a grown up and say something. We know you have designs on the Oval Office, and when this all shakes out, you will have been left out in the cold. Just sayin'.

(4,450 posts)How many bombshells have there already been, and if anything the needle has twitched TOWARD Trump getting another term. Worst case scenario for Trump, some mid-level flunkie has to fall on his sword as Scooter Libby did for Bush II.
getagrip_already
(14,743 posts)According to abc news tonight(among others earlier), lev turned over audio, video, and still photos including trump and rudy (and possibly nunes) to house intel.
Nothing is harder to deny or spin than a recording of a conversation. Will it move the gop? Doubtful, but it will get airtime and people will hear it. Tough to spin that.
Sure, they could be fakes, but if lev's voice is also on the tape, and he swears to the accuracy, well, that might be a difficult claim to make.
Btw, the fbi also has all of thyese recordings since they seized all of his electronics when they arrested him. So you would have to claim he pre-forged them, before he ever knew he would be arrested.
Still In Wisconsin
(4,450 posts)I believe that Trump could be on those tapes committing all manner of crimes and treason, and IT WOULD NOT MATTER. The people who already hate Trump would hate him more, his base would say it was all fine because Hannity said it was, and the seven people in the country who havent formed an opinion would shrug and go back to picking their noses and drinking Coors Light.
berni_mccoy
(23,018 posts)That Senators were briefed by intelligence agencies weeks ago that the Ukraine conspiracy stories were initiated by Russia and Putin and were specifically designed to hurt the US.
That means there are GOP senators knowingly and currently helping Russia push this narrative. And that is Treason.

Then dragging on for a year with cheerleading and lies to the voters.
Even lying with debunked fictional narratives in election ads.
The truth cannot be hidden, but it won't guide right action when the only thing that matters to our opponents is winning.
They include
white nationalists,
Christians,
global dark money,
military contractors
hackers
perception management corps hired by Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Auto,
elected Republican goombahs like John Kennedy,
SCOTUS (yeah I said it)
and all those who listen every day to hundreds of hate radio stations all over the country.

a new story in the Washington Post today says:
White House review turns up emails showing extensive effort to justify Trumps decision to block Ukraine military aid
A confidential White House review of President Trumps decision to place a hold on military aid to Ukraine has turned up hundreds of documents that reveal extensive efforts to generate an after-the-fact justification for the decision and a debate over whether the delay was legal, according to three people familiar with the records.

(397 posts)House intelligence committee has its hands on documents and tapes from Parnas. The normal pattern here is that the Dems sit on it, while the republicans go and drop the story on a few friendlier networks minimizing the blast. This is especially easy during the holiday. When the republicans have sensed it coming, they have been out in front of the Dems every time
