If that’s all it took, what was all the fuss about over the next 7000 years?
Then more nonsense with Elrond jumping off 1000ft waterfalls and surviving unscathed, and not even wet. This is *better*…? 😧

It didn’t land well, and he was bundled to the ground and killed by orcs.
Yes, Sauron, with full access to his Maia powers, able to shrug off lightning storms from the Valar, only stopped by the High Kings of Elves and Men at the cost of both their lives, easily overpowered by a dozen orcs 2/3

Today on the Queen Stage of this year’s Giro, Yates went into the same climb in 3rd place- and found redemption- taking over 5 minutes on del Toro and Carapaz, and the pink jersey to Rome. One of the best days in #cycling Grand Tour history- congratulations Simon!

Later in day, tricky descent through cliffs and primroses to Traigh a’Mhiadair, dramatic sand dunes and natural arches- and the ultimate campsite on the machair at Corpach. Sea sparkling and even tempted us into a swim. Isle of Jura whisky watching the sun set

There’s nothing to suggest. The US now has a dictator in charge. They don’t step down from office peacefully. You were all told the way it would go, indeed they even published the book of what they’d do, but he was voted in anyway. The ships have sailed, there are no good options now.

No one is coming to save you.
You need to pressure Republicans in congress to break ranks and oppose him. Though at this stage, not sure even a vote for impeachment would actually change anything. If he refuses to accept it, who is going to make him?
