As the blogmaster is typing he is witnessing a scene in the US Capitol akin to what is associated in countries often described as banana republics. It is impossible to find the words to accurately describe events which have caused the ceremonial event of the Electoral College to be suspended as members scatter to preserve life and limb.

@John
How many court cases have the US Courts flushed so far?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If it happens, the trial is going to be in the Senate …… but you knew that …… right??
What determines if Trump is convicted in the Senate is whether Republicans vote along party lines or conscience. The reference to court cases is about when those law suits start flowing after 20 January.
Keeping it Brazil
Man, all of John’s ten predictions came to naught! His countdowns went to negative 10. He keeps flapping about like a fish on a dock.
He soon run out of breath. The reality clock is ticking!

@John
Go take your dog for a walk, give him your US Presidential election bone and have him bury it in a cane field somewhere along the way.
This second impeachment is the same distraction playbook used with the first impeachment being run again.
All this is doing is giving him false hope he will get to defend himself and bring everything out before the senate trial so he does not try to use any of his remaining presidential powers in these last few days in a last ditch effort to get his proof in front the US population.
Trump is done and within a year, two at the most he will be bankrupt. The democrats and republicans are going to see to that because they want the old money controls election votes system back.
@John
The minute Trump is out of office, the senate is going to find a reason not to give Trump a bully pulpit in front the senate by holding an impeachment trial.
We can see that McConnell tired with Trump already and to boot has no appetite to be minority Whip. Trump is yesterday’s news. He has left an indelible stain on the history of America.
Subhuman garbage..

“Some say these two objectives, unity and accountability, are at odds with one another. In fact they are inseparable. Without accountability, unity will be an illusion, an invitation to further, deeper, more dangerous division. With accountability, the nation has a genuine chance to come together and move forward.
One thing the Founders would have never expected was a physical attack on the members of those august bodies to be ordered by a president who had lost a free and fair election. The could never have imagined that members of the Senate would stand on the floor and actively promote insurrection. The last time it happened was at the start of the Civil War, and those members were rightly expelled from the body.”
Better make an example of all of them.
“It will be clear that a demagogue slinging lies like a monkey throws poop can declare an election null and void, insist that he is the rightful leader, and get away with it. That message will be well-learned by all the wrong people. Trump’s actions will be emulated by politicians with more skill and cunning than him, with the ability to manipulate information growing ever more sophisticated as technology and social media evolve.
The actions of those who seek to destroy us must be met with a show of force so strong that no American ever attempts to overthrow our government again.”

@Hal Austin January 17, 2021 9:28 AM “If you want to join the discussion, then do so formally, rather than just sit on the sideline with your passive/aggressive cowardice and throw stones.”
How does one formally join a discussion on a very, very informal blog.
Does one have to get the permission of Chairman Hal Austin in order to join? Does one have to raise one’s hand for permission before speaking?
Help me out here.
Oh Lord in Barbados it is sometimes said that old women are miserable, or to use the Bajan term touchous
But not a one of them can compete with our friend Hal.
And Hal we all understand the meanings of the words explicit and implicit.
Touchous=irritable; too ready to take offence; difficult to cooperate with

Let’s go back to October 2020:
Hal Austin October 19, 2020 9:44 AM #: “It is only when the fabrications take root – some fowl called me a Roman Catholic for no obvious reason apart from scratching in her own mental backyard. There are others, such as being an independent financial adviser, and even after correction, continued with the nonsense for a period after. It took that person until recently to OFFER a KIND of APOLOGY.”
Please note, although he DOWNPLAYED MY APOLOGY, he essentially ADMITTED I OFFERED one.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
However, I was EXTREMELY SURPRISED when I read the guy’s following contribution TODAY on BU:
Hal Austin January 17, 2021 11:10 AM #: “If someone says I was an insurance agent/salesman and a financial adviser WITHOUT ADMITTING THEY MADE A MISTAKE (which is illegal by the way if you are not regulated where I live)……”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It seems as though he DISREGARDED my apology, to FABRICATE nonsense.
THE TRUTH IS LIKE A HAMMER, IT SHATTERS THE FOUNDATION OF LIES.
Just might be Bidens first immigration test

I tend to agree with 555dubstreet
I sure wouldn’t! I can hardly bear to read his crap on BU. These days I only catch it if it is short because I cannot help my eyes from seeing as I scroll past.
Too much misery for me!

Ah…..we’re an in the midst of a REVOLUTION….who was it said A CHANGE GONNA COME…was it Sam Cooke 1964…VISIONARIES….well, it’s HERE…some will miss the whole event, those who were expecting it…wont.
One editorial likened him to a “political parasite”
“The public will not see Donald Trump’s White House records for years, but there is growing concern the collection will never be complete – leaving a hole in the history of one of America’s most tumultuous presidencies.
Trump has been cavalier about the law requiring that records be preserved. He has a habit of ripping up documents before tossing them out, forcing White House workers to spend hours taping them back together.
White House staff quickly learned about Trump’s disregard for documents as they witnessed him tearing them up and discarding them. “My director came up to me and said, ‘You have to tape these together,’” said Solomon Lartey, a former White House records analyst.
The first document he taped back together was a letter from Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, about a government shutdown. “They told [Trump] to stop doing it. He didn’t want to stop.”

Lindsey Graham now blames Nancy Pelosi for not providing adequate security for the house!
How low can these Republicans go???
Democrats are not angels but surely these Republicans are demons!
Beyond redemption, it seems. John McCain tried and failed.
This is not a fairytale.
“A handful of armed protesters affiliated with right-wing militias began gathering outside the Michigan statehouse in Lansing on Sunday, according to reports.
About 20 protesters, including members of the anti-government boogaloo movement, began to gather outside the state capitol shortly after noon — with the crowd expected to grow, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The planned demonstration to protest President Trump’s re-election loss comes amid heavily heightened security in Lansing in the wake of the Jan. 6 siege of the US Capitol.”

“If there is one person guilty of regurgitating the same shit it is you. Sadly, you do it the same way over and over … catholic … Before this week is over you will be crying your ‘I am being victimized’ song.”
Yeah!!!!
Example………Three (3) times in the same week:
Hal Austin November 12, 2020 2:55 PM #: “He also says things then denies them. He once called me financial adviser, when I pointed out it was illegal in the UK to call yourself a financial adviser unless regulated he went off saying that what he meant was that insurance salesmen/agents in Barbados usually call themselves financial advisers and he thought that was what I was doing.”
Hal Austin November 14, 2020 5:49 AM #: “What I do find more embarrassing are the number of juvenile attacks some people make, such as calling me a Roman Catholic as a form of insult; a polymath; an intellectual demigod; a know it all; a financial adviser who might have been an insurance agent/salesman instead of dealing with the substantive issues – and those are the repeatable ones.”
Hal Austin November 15, 2020 2:47 PM #: “By the way, these are the very people who claim I failed to ask questions at a town hall meeting when I was miles away. But they were told so by their friends, and they believed them. Funny that.
If you read books, they try to insult you for reading, call you a know it all, or someone who thinks he is a polymath, or an intellectual demigod; if you reference where ideas come from they accuse you of name-dropping white Europeans; if you try to correct them (ie that the Daily Mail and the Mailonnline are two different publications) they tell you you are nit-picking.
It is the Barbados Condition. It is deeply cultural. All they have to do is discuss the issues, and stop throwing stones. For this I may be called a Roman Catholic as a form of abuse, or worst.”

This is the level Barbados Underground has SUNK to.
There is a reason why Trump is making a getaway before Biden is granted his Power
I suspect he is on the lam like the gingerbread man

“What determines if Trump is convicted in the Senate is whether Republicans vote along party lines or conscience.”… yes @David, true dat…. but unless ‘fear of losing de pic’ is part of your definition of conscience then that’s numero uno!
There are very few local districts where the Trump infused primary challenger will not go after those voting to impeach…
Now of course that may spell greater doom for the party itself as rabid Trump-lite reps may incite larger Dem turnout.
But we shall see …
In the Senate the situation is just a bit different as at the moment (upcoming resignations, more moderate state wide vote patterns etc) there is surely a very HIGH probability that 17 votes can be added to the Dem caucus to impeach this man.
The POLITICS of this matter are so wonderfully intriguing that I look forward to this trial eagerly.
I think it would be madness for McConnell to vote to acquit … so I believe DJT is toast.
I agree with Comey completely that Biden needs to pardon the trumpet AFTER any properly indicted criminal liabilities are laid in court.
Obvioualy a former US President cant go to jail !
C’est la vie of political life!
Trump in all likelihood will end up with three terms as President, 45, 47 and 47!!

If someone is going to post Farage on BU, then it is time for that moron to leave BU

John why only three?
Isn’t it likely he will be in for 6 terms just like his idol Vlad Putin!
Three sounds so meager.
He just has to outdo this little impeachment bother and he is set like flint … not the city, of course!
Tick tock! The reality clock!
John is deteriorating just as quickly as the cancerous lump in the White House. The only one going down with the ship.
One sad lunatic!
A little mood music for John and Donald
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
[Verse 2]
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
[Verse 3]
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is black
[Verse 4]
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
[Verse 1]
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

JohnJanuary 17, 2021 8:36 PM Instead of anyone wasting time watching the video, let me paraphrase in line with his views.
Farage’s position appears to be that ‘Trump is right, because he is white and far right, so do not impeach’.
Done and dusted. Just saved a bunch of people time from watching that crap.
You are welcome.
Too bad for Trump yardfowls, they don’t have multimillions to pay for pardons….off to jail they go.🤣……if political yardfowls of varying color persuasions don’t learn now, they never will and deserve everything they get.
“In Trump’s final days at White House, presidential pardons reportedly up for grabs for the right price
The New York Times, citing documents and interviews with more than three dozen lobbyists and lawyers, reported Sunday night some Trump allies are collecting fees from wealthy felons or their associates to push the White House for clemency.”
this is the genius who may cop murder charges with all the other idiots….lol

That is one benefit of letting them on social media, tracking.
yep..it sure is.
What is the countdown Mr. Wolf?
Question of the day – how many pardons will Trump deliver tomorrow before he takes his 21 gun salute and get the hell outta Dodge?
The point has been made and now they are back for tracking purposes.
Wait! That foolish Johnnie actually believes the vans were moving food???? You mean he did not see the bust of Abraham Lincoln being carried out to the van?????

Day 17 – Explore – BREATH – A 30 Day Yoga Journey
How do you really know how you really feel each day unless you take the time to check in and explore?
Don’t decide where it ends.
You have the tools to explore space and sensation.
Move slowly, and mindfully. I invite you to stay open.
Your Day 17 session is an integrative session to help guide you to build sustainable strength and make discoveries that keep you motivated.
We will gently continue to build strength today to encourage noticeable muscle tone in the legs, the glutes, and the entirety of the abdominal wall.
We will also continue to release stress or tension that lives in the neck, the shoulders, the chest, and the upper back
