 i'm calling it now

trump is selected for the next round of bullshit

doesn't mean he is gonna do any real good, just enough good to not get people too mad, and enough to make the cultural marxists get riled up and flip the thing next time

and don't forget, you can't have riots when the president is a marxist, the wokesters need the excuse of a "fascist" to give them the excuse to act like nazis

 From what I understand, this is the most important election of our lifetime. 
 I am surprised to find myself rah rah anything, but this interview made me realize at least there is someone who can make me laugh. I like a laugh.

 haha yeah that took a long time from the start to actually get to the point

yeah, i heard this idea that "iran put the hit on me" story on ZH the other day

complete nonsense, but possible, and no less possible it was israel or russia or the cia or mi6, really

the whole thing is theatre, he's been selected, and they will uncork all of the bluehairs and black-bloc types to cause hell to all the cities in the districts they know voted for their Enemy

fucking clown show, trump is one of Them too, he's just really good at spinning shit on the spot in a way that is fortuitous for his handlers, that's why he's gonna get the hot seat this time

idgaf about that shit, i'm just bunkering down for my work to be ready for the pole shift and that is all i care about 
 i'm just impressed when a politician can talk off the cuff. maybe it's a craving for an older generation who were better communicators than I am. 

About the pole shift, I mentioned it to someone who is in the know, and he told me this:
 Genesis 9:11-13 (NIV):
11 "I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

 So, he is not worried about pole shift. I tried to press him on "well maybe it's just a promise for in between the cycles (as in each cycle is a new start and finish). but he seemed doubtful, and just repeated this .

however, if it had to happen twice as the poet says... ice would be nice.

He also mentioned this promise:
 Genesis 8:22 (NIV):
"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease." 
 so we might just be sentenced to stay on a planet where things get better and better for the most part. 
 nah, i'm quite certain we, at least most of us, 2/3 is the ratio i've seen many places, are headed for a city in the heavens and after 1000 years a new earth

so um... yeah, that fits in with the expected timeline... geological history of these massive catastrophes suggests that it's really bad for about 400 years and then shitty for another 1000 years, and possibly the last time a micronova occurred the cooling period was broken by a massive swarm of metors that brought a massive amount of energy to the earth, both as they passed into the atmosphere and what craters they made in the ground

the formation of impactors after a micronova is a thing too... because the sun blows up really hard in a micronova, a shitload of material is ejected and much of it doesn't get that far and eventually cools and condenses and goes somewhere

i wish i could just sit down and do more research about this instead of writing code all the time lol 
 that text does not seem to rule out an evacuation though

and revelation clearly talks about the whole earth being destroyed by fire

destroyed by fire sorta sounds like a micronova to me

also, i gotta read my book of enoch... i got one with three different versions of it, the jewish, the ethiopian and some other version... but i remember enoch the Head of Days clearly stated that they fucked up letting someone on the ark and that the next cycle they'd make sure to not let any fallen angels through, and that is obviously also what revelation is talking about 
 also, i can talk pretty much off the cuff, it's one of my things... it does help me be persuasive when i try

i don't say things unless i'm reasonably confident, and i have a thing about containing people's expectations to a level that is below what i know i can deliver with reasonable certainty

trump is definitely a witty, orange man... orange is the color of wits, also, just because he's smart doesn't mean he's honest, he's just light on his feet

in fact i think it would not be hard to read back over the history and catch him multiple times knowingly lying

the best protection for bad guys is standing in the shadow of guys who specialising in looking good 
 you're gonna have to put on a Nostr Comedy Special

persuasion... always a slippery area. I don't know why i want to be persuasive sometimes. i have a certain belief, it makes me tick. as soon as i find myself selling it, i get grossed out.

Someone like Robin Williams, what's his reason for being. he's funny, but there's no persuasion going on. just endless pursuit of some creative genius. 
 i'm not really a comedian but a story teller probably... and something of a pedagogue, i enjoy teaching people things 
 You are quite the writer. Idk how you do it but no matter how long your post is, it's always intriguing.

I'm trying to learn haha 
 yeah, i have been reading your short stories, very nice, i should zap you for them but you got no LUD16
