Let's continue the thought to include his corrupt kin, shall we? After all, he's prepping his greaseball son for future office, despite the fact that he's never done a fucking thing in his spoonfed life. That psalm goes on to say: 8 "Let his days be few, And let another take his office. 9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. 10 Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. 11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out."

We've gone from 90+ a week ago to the 30s last night. High in the 50s today. Like straight from summer to winter. Not looking like we'll get much of an autumn, including the drought's impact on the colors.

Shake in a cocktail shaker with ice and lots of malice. Pour into ice-filled pint glass as cold as we all hope the Orange Shitstain's prison cell will be. Top off with ginger ale and garnish with thin peach slice and mint sprig. Serve to the pitchfork-bearing crowds.

As my wife was dying, I had to sit through all the Catholic last rites hocus-pocus. When she did eventually die, I just wanted to sit with the body for a while in silence, but then my best friend (a New Ager like your wife) wanted to perform a ritual similar to the one you described. My mother-in-law got all up in arms about it, and I told her, "Why not? It's not any more ridiculous than the Catholic bullshit." Didn't help family relations, I don't guess, but my tolerance for that kind of stuff is limited. Sorry you had to go through it, too.

DharmaBum50 comments on Oct 2, 2019:

Underlying all this is tRump's disdain for and irritation at “the laws the way they are," as he puts it towards the end of the article. What he means is that they are inconvenient and something to be circumvented, and this was all entirely predictable not only for his fascist agenda but also for his status as a businessman who is totally used to ruling his empire as an autocrat. I cringe anytime I hear a candidate of either party campaigning on their success as businessperson.

DharmaBum50 comments on Sep 28, 2019:

That can be a tough one. My late wife and I spent most of our marriage as nonbelievers with a Buddhist slant, but when she got cancer, she went back to the Catholic church. She never demanded that I convert, as your spouse is doing, but her newfound spirituality made discussions of whether or not we would see each other in an afterlife difficult. Religion sucks--I felt it tearing us apart at a difficult time when we should have been coming together. Good luck finding a resolution.
