But there in could lie the problem. If Biden tries to much to make the Republicans happy, then the Republicans are still winning the game. That would mean they just bullied Biden into giving into their demands. It seems counterintuitive, but I would be more happy if he said he was going to fight them on everything, for the good of the country. "Collaboration" just means nothing gets done. -

The look on the Secrete Service guy is like "God I hate this man so very very much" lol. -

Many people asked for it, here it is. The Führer's last days. -
There have been many Right-Wing militia attempts at violence recently, and every one of them have been arrested. So we've been good at keeping it under control...for now.

Take all the time you need. Hell take a couple months, if it makes them feel better and stops any violence. As long has he's out of the White House by January 20th, I can care less how long they need to grieve. -

God I hope not. Letting him get away with everything, is almost a worst crime. Through his lack of leadership he is personally responsible for thousands to hundreds of thousands of deaths, that could have been prevented if there was someone competent in charge. I mean, if we discovered a serial killer that killed two hundred thousand people, you don't let him go scot free if half the country likes him. Not a fair comparison, but you get what I'm saying. If he is not held responsible, this is a green light to any monster that wants to rule the world thu the presidency, follow Trump's patterns, to go for unlimited crimes, and no one will stop you. Imagine someone with even less morals, and tens times smarter, taking the presidency? We call Trump fascist, wait till someone worse wins, and letting Trump off is opening a door for that to most assuredly happen. Is making his cult members happy worth that? Or do we do what is right, and crush any terrorist attacks that the Right-Wing try to pull in retaliation from a fair election. -

Yep. Seems like the perfect ingredients for a civil war. -
Sempiternity replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Yep, that's what I fear as well. Who's going to stop him. No one has stood up to him yet and say 'you can't do that'. Could start a civil war just for fun. Hell, does he still have the launch codes?? -

Yeah we wish. She's a great leader. Probably the best in the world right now, can't think of anyone better. She's what the future of politics will look like. -

He would be 78 yrs old by then. With his diet, health and mental decline, I highly doubt he even could or be alive by then. -

Most people I have talked to are banking on Biden not being able to even finish out his first term, leading to the Harris presidency. I'd like to think that the Democrats knew the American people would never vote in a black/Indian left leaning woman for president, so they used Biden, an old man on his way out, as a Trojan horse to get who they really wanted in the white house. But that's just a dream theory I cooked up with no real basis in truth. -

1986 movie 'Highlander'. The main character is immortal. The Kurgan represents the Highlander's Ego. It's large, dark, destructive, selfish, and likes to indulge in baser animalistic desires. Once the protagonist kills his Ego (the Kurgan), he instantly experiences 'The Prize' and says "I know everything!", I am everything!". The Prize is full Nondual Enlightenment. -

Okay, I'll bite. Could you please list for me all the great accomplishments, actual policies that he has written into law, that has helped the American people, not just the rich. Edit: Not just things he has said he has done (lie), but actual polices written into law. -

I go off of what Trump directly says and dose himself. That's not hyperbolic, it's coming directly from him, not filtered through anyone elses agenda. -
Sempiternity replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
You're right, screw left or right, it IS about the future of America. You and I want the same thing. But, if you support Trump, then you are actively going against the very thing you say you want. Because if he wins, our country will no longer be free or successful for most any of us. -

If Biden gets elected, he will be 77 years old. Doubt he makes it to a full term, so we'd most likely get a President Harris. Hard to say how she'd do. She's been putting on an act for this whole election process, so hard to say how she would do once fully in charge. Just based on very superficial aspects, I like that she is a woman of color, and she'd be a more reasonable age at 57. But, anything more concrete, who knows how she would do on policy till we see what she'd do, how hard she will push for change, or just pander to corporate donors to maintain the status quo. I would like to see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez run against Harris in 2024. She will be eligible to run in 2024. Would be another historic fight. Instead of the Corporate Democrats against the dying breed of Corrupt Republicans, it would be a fight between the up and coming Progressives against the dying breed of Corporate Democrats. -

Now is all there is. Time is part of the illusion you are imagining. Real and not real are dualities that collapse into One. You are all that is Now. -
This was painful to watch. One of the most arrogant things I've seen in a long time. Very disheartening.

Well said. Good points.

True that's an assumption. But, I would assume someone who has had hundreds of awakenings and fully understands love and oneness wouldn't go around hating on everyone. That's a logical assumption, based on my limited understanding of infinite love. But I could be wrong, maybe someone who becomes one with everything could then just act like a total asshole. But, based on evidence of most people who have had many awakenings, peacefulness, calm, and exuding love is a common effect.

I would think most here would expect a teacher that fully understands that they are God, there is no others, and all of reality is a dream they are dreaming, and has tapped into infinite Love, and understands that their ego self is all false, would act in a peaceful, wise, loving way. At least that's my perspective, and I'm sure others probably think similarly. So when that same teacher acts in a way that seems like Ego, experiencing other as real, and seemingly acting not from love, it could be maybe jarring for some. Not saying any of this is true or what's happening here, just a possibility for the conversations sake. Leo is personally one of my favorite teachers. But I do sometimes wish he was exuding love, showing love verbally, to all. It's one thing to understand everything is Love, even hate. It's another to have your every action be one of love and connection. But in the grand scheme of things, everything is perfect as it is.

Yes, wonderful quote. When my grandmother was dying, the whole family was there crying and fighting with each other. I had to tell them all "what are you doing? Is this what you want her last moment to be experiencing your fighting and arguing? Stop being selfish and think of her experience as she ends her life". This is why I like to trip alone. Nobody to distract from the inner journey.

Nothing is for certain, but lets make some educated predictions of the aftermath of the election. As of the election probable outcomes: Biden wins by a landslide. Based on early voting poles, this seems like the most probable outcome, with record voting turnout, mostly Democratic votes. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/presidential-polls-trump-biden. Through cheating Trump ekes out a win. Manipulating the Electoral college, the Republicans are able to stay in power. Russia is able to manipulate the voting data somehow to show Trump winning. Trump losses, disputes the election and takes it to the Supreme Court. With the addition of Trump henchmen Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, the decision will most likely favor Trump, thereby him successfully stealing the election. But lets go with, for the sake of this post, that Biden does win by a landslide, and Trump's efforts to steal the election fail. What then will happen to Trump? Right now there are dozens and dozens of criminal charges waiting for Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/17/politics/trump-election-legal-reckoning/index.html . Between the Manhattan district attorney's broad investigations, New York prosecutors, IRS criminal investigations, and possible treason charges from the new appointed Justice Department, any one of these could spell a lifetime in prison for Trump once he no longer has protection and immunity of the presidency to protect him. If Trump looses, what is the most likely outcome?: No investigations stick. He gets away with every crime. Trump has a lifetime of getting away with crimes with no consequences. So maybe he will be able to weasel his way out of any repercussions for all his crimes. Our country has shown that the rich can buy their way out of anything. Trump gets convicted of one or all of his crimes and goes to prison. His arrogance has him think he can beat the system, cause he always has. Biden and his new cabinet and justice department arrest him and all his associates to make an example of them, to restore public trust that the system is not broken. Biden pardons Trump. Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon of all crimes. So the precedent is there for this to happen. Trump causes a civil war to keep him in power despite the loss of the election. He is certainly hinting at this as a possibility or wish of his, but this seems like a very unlikely scenario. Trump, immediately upon losing the election, flees the country to avoid any prosecution. To me, this is the most likely scenario. Two days ago Trump talked about losing the election and fleeing the country. https://www.thewrap.com/trump-if-loses-says-maybe-leave-country/. The United States and Russia do not have an extradition treaty. It is well known Trump and Putin have a strong relationship. So if Trump flees to Russia before American authorities can stop him, he will be safe from consequences for his crimes. What scenario do you see happening with Trump after the election?
