Trump is doing a bang-up job of making himself look bad. The news media has been trying to make him look sane for the last decade, that's how we got here.

Heather Cox Richardson's SOTU was much more informative. [50m30s]

While the Liar-in-chief blathers about the delusions in his head or throws a tantrum because the world hurt his little feefies, I'll be at Oratorio Society working on the hard parts of Verdi's "Requiem". I'll get the report from the brave souls who put their minds in harm's way to keep us informed.
Hello, Techlore!
We just have to teach them to recognize MAGA when it changes its name.
This company just keeps making things better. Throw them some money if you can. Even on my budget I manage to give $5 every few months.
The damage done by Trump and his gang of criminals will outlive him by a century.
The Six of Swords. Today I'm feeling the transitions: from the week to the weekend, this month to the next, even the slight change in weather. I need to do something different.
This morning I drew the Seven of Swords just before leaving to run errands during a weather advisory. I got all my business done just as the heat index hit 100°F, but my body will be paying for it the rest of today.
The Nine of Cauldrons (Cups, in most tarot decks) is the heart's desire, the ultimate contentment. Reversed, as it is here, it may be difficult to feel its effects. I need to reach out to loved ones, I think.
Today's card, Major Arcanum 10, the Wheel of Fortune, reversed, reminds us how dependent we are on the circumstances and actions of others.
Repeated appearances of pentacles over several days call my attention to the need for concrete action in the physical world. Today I have the King of Pentacles, reversed. The castle needs work.
Today's card is the Two of Pentacles, reversed. This card always reminds me of riding a bicycle: to stay balanced, you have to keep the vehicle moving. I have plenty of reasons not to sit around.
Divination should really work in both directions. It doesn't matter what part of the day you pull the card, the message is still valid. Today's Seven of Pentacles had me doing lots of little mundane tasks that overall make life good.
Seems a bit pointless to draw a card when most of the day has gone by, but this one is right on the money or rather lack of it. Four of Pentacles, reversed. I spent more money than I wanted to, but at least I fed four people.
Early in the day I drew Major Arcanum 3, The Empress, but just didn't have the chance to post. A sign of creative accomplishment, it was mostly in my head this time.
Typical of me, yesterday I went to the laundry room, saw all machines empty, came back no more than five minutes later with my laundry, saw all the washers full, and gave up for the day. Could have tried again later, but no, I was having none of it.
The Four of Cauldrons, a feeling of dissatisfaction or disappointment with circumstances that may not actually justify it. Must keep those feelings in perspective today.
The Eight of Rods again, but today the potential whirlwind of activity feels more manageable.
The Eight of Pentacles, reversed. Looks like I may have some difficulty keeping up with the practical demands of today, but there's no reason I can't feel well accomplished at the end. It's a matter of due diligence. Do diligence.
Major Arcanum 15 in most tarot decks is The Devil, but in the Old Path tarot it is called Temptation as witches have no devil. With the last few days looking after other people's needs, I feel justified in some self-indulgence.
The Page of Cauldrons, reversed. Such a daydreamy card is not very helpful for a day on which I have to clean the oven but I'd much rather watch paint dry.
My card for today is the Eight of Rods. This is going to be another out-of-control day with many little tasks that have to be accomplished.
The Tarot of the Old Path replaces cups with cauldrons, though I don't think it's really necessary — cups can be witchy enough. Today's Seven of Cauldrons, reversed, warns me to step away from the computer. I should do something musical but not count on making measurable progress.
Today's card is The Lovers. Don't know what to make of this. I'm posting late because I had to be at a doctor appointment early. I'm sleep deprived from yesterday. Just trying to take care of myself by letting things happen.
The Knight of Swords, reversed. This day is likely to get out of control. Even if I manage not to let my enthusiasm charge into situations without knowing all the facts, I am likely to end this day very tired after two long appointments.
The Three of Rods. reversed. My deck is old and stiff and hard to shuffle, but there is no reason this card should have come up again, except that I didn't make very good use of it yesterday. I just finished bill-paying and have yet to get to the piano practice I neglected for the last two days.
The Three of Rods reminds me to take pleasure in my creative abilities today and to reap the reward of some of the work I've done. My agenda includes the piano practice I neglected yesterday.
Ace of Pentacles in the Tarot of the Old Path.
The Ace of Pentacles is the card of the day, the need for concrete action. I'm going to pay the rest of this month's bills and arrange the apartment to make it more comfortable.
Today I have the Seven of Swords, reversed. In big news, my country has suffered a defeat at the hands of its own government, in small matters I am likely to waste time overthinking. Today we will not get the answers we want.
