> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I believe today is the predicted day. The Supreme Court will unanimously vote to reinstate Trump. The entire world will admit they were wrong. The democrats will embrace the republicans. Cats and Dogs will live together. I seem to remember reading that it was all going to happen on August 14, but I may be misremembering. I suppose if Trump is going to be reinstated and the Great Election Fraud finally confirmed and acknowledged by cohabiting cats and dogs, Friday the 13th is an appropriate day for such an apocalypse. I trust Biden took the sensible precaution of packing all his stuff. ---

It was always planned for Friday the 13th. So far, I feel pretty lucky… hot and humid weather broke, I’m sitting OUTDOORS in a dry, cool(er) park. And I don’t have to read about Mike Lindell… I might have OD’ed. ---

Well, as for me, I’m sitting here in a house with the A/C cranked down close to beer fridge temperature and having a vodka martini (to celebrate Trump’s reinstatement to his rightful throne, or perhaps one should say, Resurrection). There hasn’t been anything in the news about it but I assume the Lamestream Media is just refusing to report it. And I do NOT feel guilty because we’re all godless liberals here and our electricity is mostly nuclear and hydro, and besides, I’m old and crabby and I deserve a break from heat and humidity. ---
