(18,026 posts)I've been keeping a sheet of paper counting down the days. I'm trying to use these last 7 days as productively as possible, tying up some loose ends, placing some last-minute orders to stock up on some things, getting some affairs in order, unsubscribing from some Substacks, I want to make things as simple as possible for the next two or three months and then proceed from that point.
Good luck everyone in your planning!

(2,716 posts)We have the same sensation about this countdown. Although we can't know what it's like to be Matthew Poncelot (portrayed by Sean Penn in Dead Man Walking), this must be pretty darn close.
My wife and I are also "tidying" things up like you.
Gosh, look what we've come to.
Good luck Mike 03 and let's survive this nightmare somehow.

(63,142 posts)Yes no one will save us. No one.
We are totally on our own.
Yep, all we can do is hang in there and hope for the best.
That it will not be as bad as it looks like it will be.

Mike Walz (Trump's incoming national security advisor) already mentioned on ABC that talks are underway for a Trumpf-Putin summit.
I posted an OP several weeks ago that the Dutch set up a Government-in-Exile in London during the Second World War when they were occupied by Nazi Germany.
And what social safety cuts, censorship, Christian Talibanization, pilfering, and deportations are we going to endure under the incoming oligarchal junta and Project 2025?

Any occupied country always experiences severe hardships.
Which form it will take we can guess at.
And hope we are wrong.

Or at the very least, revenge of the green lady.
