    I was. But in the first week of 2021 a huge mob of morons storm the capitol ready to die for Trump. They're threatening more attacks, haven't got sense enough to see that they're cult members and their leader, who never respected them, has abandoned them. We don't know what will happen next or where and when it will happen.

    Anyway the new year is off to a really shitty start, hopefully things will calm down.

    I wasn't expecting a switch to be thrown Jan 1st making everything "all better"...

    Somewhat better would have been nice, though.

    I'd settle for it not being an insane clusterfuck!

    As I said in my astrological forecast for this January, the same divisive issues and influences we were suffering last year (and longer) are still with us, lessening slightly over time.

    The major bad aspects of last year are fading, but it's not over. There are thousands of people brainwashed by watching 'alternative' news and believing 'alternative' facts fed by conspiracy theorists and Russian agents determined to undermine and destroy democracy.

    If this isn't a major wake up call for American than people are just too stoned on their prosperity to notice the pickpocket stealing their futures.

    I foresee a lively discussion...

    in all honesty... I'm glad that Biden is going into the White House. He's talking stimulus, environmental ideals, and he's got Kamala Harris in tow... It's going to be a better year this time around. :)

    For the supposedly leading democracy in the world, this is a political disaster. China and Russia are lapping it up and pointing the finger at the States saying "well this is where Western democracy gets you". To be honest, they have an undeniable point. American democracy has failed big time. Whether it recovers under Biden and Harris remains to be seen.

    EVERY GODDAMN DAY I have to wonder if anything terrible will happen today. There are 10 days left until Biden takes over, and every one of those days I'll be wondering. At times like this paranoia is normal.

    Question: Where are we going to find the resources to deprogram all these Trump Cultists? There's so goddamn many of them!

    Honestly, I have a feeling the attitude in Hollywood - in television and cinema, can steer the course of that sort of thing to some degree. They will be outcasts if they choose not to confront their issues.

    As much as I despise Trump I never thought things would get this fucked up. I knew he was holding his Save America rally on the 6th and they were planning to march on the Capitol afterward, but I thought even Trump would try to keep them calm. I thought he'd tell them to keep it peaceful, don't cross the barricades, just let your voices be heard. But instead he incites a riot.

    Trump isn't just deranged, he's evil. We need to procede with the impeachment process to make it official that he can never hold any political office again.

    i'm happy those morons showed the world what they were, so that everyone can stop lying to themselves and pretending otherwise.
    and i know its sad they're not just going to go away. chump didn't invent them, he just hopped on their horse and only pretends to know where the reins are.
    eventually most idiots realize that they are. always a few never catch on.

    well i wouldn't have wished for it to happen, and yes i'm glad this year is not the four previous ones in the u.s.
    glad i live closer to the west coast but in a lower density state then right on it.

    glad it didn't go worse. and yes there's still a banana peel for the 20th. which i seriously hope they don't get as far with doing anything dumber.
    still looking for the 20th to be passed and the gradual return of sanity, even if its not immediate or complete.

    New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has turned down Trump's offer of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, saying, "Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients," he said in a statement. "Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award."

    He might deflate footballs but he still has his standards.

    It's never "over"; simply endless cycles of sunrise and sunset, apogee and perigee, spring tide and neap tide; ever-changing seasons punctuated with solstices and equinoxes. No beginning, no ending, just continuation.

    Don't be too quick it disparage a year's time; you only have a very precious few of those.

    i'm glad there was an election. i'm glad biden won. as for those idiots who think their lust for fascism is doing the world any favors, they're welcome to go away any time, even if they never do.
    hopefully trump's party will finally disown him. everyone else already has. not for vengence, but deterance of some kind.

    politics and pandemic aside, there really wasn't all that much a big deal about the year itself. its just that years ahead without the past four year's politics is something to look forward to.
