There's something wrong with the world today...  A asks why humans are drawn toward catastrophe. And thus La Fool heads down the rabbit hole. Fear and greed. Information crossing time and space. Chicken or the Egg/Algorithm or AI. In the end, the old stories of gods and humans may shed light on the stories yet to be told of humans and AI.

President Donald J Trump announced he contracted the Coronavirus of 2019 on the October 1, 2020 Full Moon.

La Fool uses Trump's access to best-in-class coronavirus healthcare and health/safety protocols to argue that wealth makes a difference. A strongly disagrees. She questions the sanity of a nation that's so gaslit that it immediately turned to conspiracy theories when it was announced the President tested positive.

A also opined on October 4, that the President was capable of making decisions and she used her own experience with steroids to defend her position. Sadly, she had to recant all of this immediately after observing the President's descent into madness as evidenced by his tweets, and later on, his call-ins to entertainment outlets and green-screened photo ops.

It's going to get crazier. Yippee Ki Yay.

PS: Make a voting plan and godspeed ya'll.

Although A had to take 2 rounds of steroids and experienced only fatigue, the medical evidence and research is clear that the steroids the President is taking have the potential to cause serious psychological side-effects. In the 8 days since the President's diagnosis, it appears he is suffering medication-related cognitive and psychological complications. So much so, that A now wonders who is actually running the United States.

La Fool and A have a free-ranging conversation. That's what happens when you give A more than one option when making a choice.

A has a bee in her bonnet about the helicopters not in Oregon, and the clickbaitability of the story. La Fool explores how the National Guard makes decisions to move personnel and equipment, and the role of the Federal government in deployments and emergencies. Somewhere along the way La Fool and A find themselves asking the tough questions: Is the great experiment over? Is the government still able to serve the people? Can the people ever agree again? Is the United States just too big? Give us your thoughts on Facebook.

La Fool and A talk about their isolation experiences during the pandemic and they get into the Pandemic Playbook. The obvious question: What the hell happened to that playbook? (If you know, post up on Facebook!) But it's not all doom and gloom. La Fool is sure there is a Zombie Virus coming and A finds the idea quite preposterous. (She's probably going to have to eat her laughter in the future.) With mirth on tap, the conversation winds up with the 4th Matrix film and one of its stars, Doogie Howser.

La Fool and A jump headlong into a serious rabbit hole. On the way through they encounter Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Aliens, Saviors, a leader who ends wars, and the worldwide feeling that something is happening right now that's bigger than all of us.

How will humans survive the destruction they've set in motion? Is a Messiah the answer? Join us Alice! It's a Wonderland up in these 17 Minutes.

Exodus 21:32 "If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned."

Dajjal: (Arabic: المسيح الدجّال‎, romanized: Dajjāl, lit. 'the false messiah, liar, the deceiver'; Syriac: ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ‎, romanized: Mšiha Daggala) (plural: Dajjals) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology. He is said to have come from several different locations, but generally from the East, usually between Syria and Iran, comparable to Christian understanding of the appearance of the Antichrist in Christian eschatology.[1]

Our closing episode for the mini-series on the current state of the Trump presidency comes to a close. A questions how the military and Trump supporters will respond if the election is lost and what might happen if Trump attempts to stay in office past high noon on January 20, 2021. La Fool has some ideas, including a hint at what Nancy Pelosi's personal Nirvana might look like. Plus we look at how Black Lives Matter could create a united front with other people who haven't participated in the summer protests, but who want to see Trump leave office.

P.S. Bernie woulda won. (Do you agree?  Let us know on Facebook.)
