Giant haystacks 😆I remember those days. Seriously though, I think ordinary people are screwed regardless of who gets in. It’s all a grotesque game show.

Totally, just like in the UK. But still, like any toxic relationship, this time it’s gonna be different…..right?🤷‍♀️🙄

There's so much more going on than a simple election. We're in a spiritual war between good vs evil. And if America falls the whole world does. Thankfully my faith keeps me comfy knowing God triumphs. But that's just me.

There absolutely is. I agree with you. I’m glad you have your faith. We all need something that helps us in that way in these trying times x

Politically our journeys appear to have been very similar x

Obama follows me on Twitter (I kid you not!) and I have no idea why, he started when I was selling make up and pole dancing for exercise around 17 years ago so you might draw some conclusion from that ... but I reckon an intern just got over keen on the follow button, lol!

I didn't 'like' this piece. I LOVED IT!

Always great to start the day with a few chuckles. Thanks a million.

Aww, good :)

I see it all as a show, can’t help but rip the piss out of it all.

Like I said in my Pacifica piece. "Drunken Dumbshow." I'm so sick of it. But I've got my faith too. We'll probably watch the country burn no matter what happens. I would, however, like to see RFK unleashed to open up the vaccine war on us. I want to see that little madman, Fauci (who 100% has disappeared) jailed. Anyways, we keep writing. ox

Yes RFK is an interesting one I think he. He appears to get the vaccine stuff but is quite invested with all the green stuff though. Hm…. Yes so many like Fauci with blood in their hands for sure.

Yes, he's different though. More balanced and normal with his view of God's great earth.

He speaks in such a spiritual way about it. I don't idolize anyone and never a politician - but RFK is a redeemed man. If anything, he is the most under-appreciated in his family. They've been quite ugly to him. I am therefore interested 😉

Why would anyone follow the Q and gematria craze?

When are people going to start following their hearts and intuition?

We are constantly seeking outside validation.

The whole world is a stage. Time to tear it down and build a new one with small communities and ethical leaders not ones determined by who a talking head on the TV or internet likes.

Desperation. People are so frightened and broken they look to anything to try and unlock the craziness upon them.

I am very much of the belief “be your own leader” these days. We save ourselves.

Hilarious and on the money as ever. Although I’m genuinely intrigued and hopefully about a situation where RFK jr could be head of HHS, FDA or CDC, I’m well aware it could easily turn to shit.

I couldn’t resist working out the gematria for “Grab em by the pussy.” I got:

Jumanji

Skunkworks

Operation Fishbowl

Don’t you forget about me

And

What is the point

Interesting it's the pop stars in Britain, our actors usually threaten to leave America. Although there was a very big "Rock the Vote" campaign back in the day that was kind of cool.

Hilarious and thoughtful take on election season Julie. 👏🏻

Thank you, lovely.

Don’t they all have properties elsewhere in the world anyway? What does ‘leave’ even mean to them?🤷‍♀️😂

I was thinking the same thing, always seems like they're off halfway around the world anyway 😂

That was entertaining and I feel it is true, you are well on the ball and have observed the pantomime enough to be a well qualified commenter and cynic. Like you I have observed the actors, razzle dazzle and still the electrets are over taxed, sanctioned, oppressed and extorted from. I know a lot about politics and like you even rooted for some to get in. However, over the last 5 years I have almost switched off from politics as realised no matter what I thought or voted for, the often very rich chosen would get in. Like the slight of hand from a magician, fixed. Even the mavericks like Trump and Johnson are selected to win, no matter how stupid it looks. Because those who really control the flock, know psychology so they work out what kind of personality is desired to be the figurehead to lead those under the spell of thinking voting is a good choice.

Yes it's entertaining and a distraction to many, there is conflict between those who vote for the left right left right illusion of democracy, even those who don't vote. It's a tried and tested formula that works, because when the new trick is in play, everyone forgets about the damaging impact of the last trick.

I stopped voting a fair time ago and felt bad about it, but the last election when Keir Starmer was voted in I did not vote and did not feel guilt. Because for sure Labour had morphed into the conservative party and Starmer is likely to become one of the most damaging prime ministers in history.

We have well and truly been had, today it is blatant that politics is about herding the livestock to milk them, guide to slaughter house or abuse in animal cruelty.

I feel liberated to no longer vote or have my mind polluted by corrupted politics. It's not a cop out I just realised all the lies and corruption from politics is never accountable and it's like appointing the school bully the head of the school...

I agree with you about the psychology aspect, Trump has Bojo traits, whatever you think of him, he’s memorable. This is played upon. The ‘no such thing as bad publicity’ angle.

Yes it’s liberating not to be a part in voting, I hear ya. Not that we could in the US one anyway but like now with Starmer. I’m just face palming as he pisses off a whole new generation who thought things would change.

Indeed, Janette. Still it will all be done with soon and they can all go back to saying they thought it would be different this time, just like now in the UK with Labour. People eh?

Spot on Julie. I have watched snippets of the presidential race, (that's all I could tolerate), and it's toe curling. Kamala, from what I've observed seems on par with Biden. Already, comments about the possibility of a "stolen" election. I predict trouble ahead.
