Just got back from singing choir at Easter service, with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus as the grand finale. We sang at every service of the Paschal Triduum, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter morning. Thank goodness, all the music we sang was beautiful, but then our beloved music director has exquisite taste. Finishing a snack now, time for a nap.
3500 ground troops have been amassed but the population of Iran is 93 million. They are poised to be launched at something. In the meantime, diaper don is still playing the markets. Also, too, Pete just fired some stalwarts who I'm pretty sure warned him not to physically invade Iran, so they had to go. It's hard to say which one of these men are crazier at this point. All we can say is that they're calling the shots.
Iran's army is 1.1 million. It took Bush 4 months of obviously moving troops and equipment to invade Iraq, which had and army about a fifth as big and a central government that bucked within days. Trump isn't fooling anyone with a ground invasion. 3500 isn't even a credible feint.
This is how he works the media . . . a hundred nitwit reporters now think they're hot shit because they can dial a number and later begin a tweet with . . .
'Spoke with President Trump' . . .
They then dutifully 'report' all his lying horseshit . . .
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made heβs blowing up the whole country with βvery littleβ off the table.
"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,β he said.
I get lots of messages about how we have to get together to get rid of Trump (and send a contribution), but the only people who can do that are already in Congress - Republican majority and all that - and they are doing diddlysquat while Trump takes a jackhammer to anything that doesn't have his name on it. It is either an asteroid, or vote every Republican out of office at every election. I am so tired of this sick old man.
Okay you filthy fuckaducks, I just finished playing Easter Masses, so now Iβm going upstairs and showering off all this fucking incense (fucking seriously??? Iβm going to have to shampoo my hair about 45 times to get it all out.) Then Iβm going to bed. I will commence snarking after my very well deserved nap. At least the gig payed really well.
Don't ever convert to Greek Orthodoxy. Those services routinely use enough incense to trigger EPA alerts. (Or would, if we still had an EPA that cared about things like air quality.)
"Acceptance is the act of acknowledging reality as it isβwithout resistance, denial, or judgmentβor providing consent to an offer." Or so says my computer box.
*What sounded like an April Foolβs joke turned out to be real after a dog climbed onto a roof in Goshen.
Police said the dog pushed out a window screen and made its way up onto the roof.
Officers responded and helped the furry friend safely get back down.
Police said the dog is now back home safe.*

The master negotiator posts fuck you and gratuitously insults Islam.
Unless bone spurs are hereditary Barron needs to step the fuck up.
okay maybe a James Bond flick to kill time/distract from this fucking planet
suggestions?
I like Moonraker for escapist nonsense. The Pierce Brosnan ones are popcorny enough, too.

Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made heβs blowing up the whole country with βvery littleβ off the table.
"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,β he said.
I asked if thereβs anything off limits.
βVery little,β he said.

Jesus Christ. Stupid shart.
I have a theory in 2000 years instead of Jesus H Christ weβll all be saying L Ron Hubbard.
Saint Edison!
And "google" will mean taking an autonomous taxi somewhere.

Our priest's son could "round the world" with the thurible in the procession. I always wanted to involuntarily duck
Yeah, but could he walk the dog ?
Don't ever convert to Greek Orthodoxy. Those services routinely use enough incense to trigger EPA alerts. (Or would, if we still had an EPA that cared about things like air quality.)
When I was an altar boy, no one would do Benedictions cause of the nasty incense.
They had to give away indulgences by the hundreds of years to get boys to show up.
Supposedly, now I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and still go to Heaven.
Just the same, I'm not gonna test that Doctrine in the State of New York.
The Ayatollah responded: Jesus was a mama's boy!
Hey MAGA Christians, this is your guy.
Like they see the coming Apocalypse heβs threatening as bad. Theyβre all insane.
Funny how the Apocalypse looks just like a narcissistic collapse.

He's not just blathering to a message board here, he's speaking for 350M Americans as POTUS.

But he does, whether we like it or not. Do we think the bombs wonβt fall on our heads because we didnβt vote for him?
we need to get rid of this diplomacy via Tweet bullshit. It should never have been acceptable.

Oh, I'm working on radical acceptance. It's very hard for me. I reject what is happening. :(
