how farcical does it have to get before people stop laughing

quiet day from kilvert

horsemouth's mum was off to town (on the 8.21).

horsemouth was feeling a bit angsty

in the evening bell-ringing (he usually gets some social anxiety before he goes off and does this - and then he's fine once he's gotten there).

in the end this went really well. horsemouth didn't let go of the rope. he didn't bounce the bells. the called changes began to make more sense to him. he even managed (with assistance) to do a plain hunt on 3 bells (this involves a lot of fast changes).

the chairman of the board of peace

'which of the following issues has, over the past decade, most changed the way you look at your future?'

horsemouth has just noticed that the proposed list of problems (global warming, pandemics, war, pestilence, famine, death etc.)  doesn't include the return of the living dead donald j. trump.

trump is a mere one year into his second presidency (and just look at the amount of chaos he has caused!). there is an assumption that at some point (after the mid-terms, when his successor is elected, when his successor is ratified and sworn in) that the chaos will cease. 

but it may not - trump's successor might be more of the same or trump might run for a third time/ not leave office/ stage another coup (with the assistance of ICE this time). or his heart might pop and it will be president vance...

anyway this is three glorious years in the future. 

how farcical does it have to get before people stop laughing.
