Sunday is the end of the week for me and the beginning of my weekend. Tonight I went for a 14.2km walk because it stopped raining so I thought I may as well take advantage of the good weather given that these days the weather is unpredictable resulting in days of raining without any rest so when those moments of fine weather occur you make the most of it. I was able to order some groceries on line – I was really looking forward to some smoked salmon so I got that along with some salad mix which was a nice midday meal. Hopefully spring will up quickly because as much as don’t mind the cold weather I do mind the high power bills associated with keeping my home warm.

The MAGA online influences are getting high on copium as they try to explain away the decision by the Trump administration not to live up to the promises made regarding during the election and afterwards. At the end of the day either a) Trump and his cabinet are part of the deep state or b) There was no deep state and the Trump campaign used it to convince rubes of something that doesn’t actually exist. It’ll be interesting to see how it develops and what kind of narrative is created to explain what has taken place – will there be a split with the ‘true believers’ insisting that it’s all part of a ‘grand plan’ aka 5D chess by Trump vs those who realise that they were used and are now trying to find a way to repair the damage done to relationships? I think eventually those who threw themselves into the cult are going to realise that Trump only cares about Trump – if you get something out of it then it is by accident rather than by design.
