# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

via "Ember Days" Wiki entry:

> In the liturgical calendar of the Western Christian churches, Ember days are four separate sets of three days within the same week — specifically, the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday — roughly equidistant in the circuit of the year, that are set aside for fasting and prayer. These days set apart for special prayer and fasting were considered especially suitable for the ordination of clergy. The Ember Days are known in Latin as the quattuor anni tempora (the "four seasons of the year"), or formerly as the jejunia quattuor temporum ("fasts of the four seasons").

> The four quarterly periods during which the ember days fall are called the embertides.

> The Ordo Romanus fixed the spring fast in the first week of March (then the first month), thus loosely associated with the first Sunday in Lent; the summer fast in the second week of June, after Whitsunday; the autumnal fast in the third week of September following the Exaltation of the Cross, September 14; and the winter fast in the complete week next before Christmas Eve, following St. Lucy's Day (Dec. 13).

> Other regulations prevailed in different countries, until the inconveniences arising from the want of uniformity led to the rule now observed being laid down under Pope Urban II as the law of the church, at the Council of Piacenza and the Council of Clermont, 1095.

> These dates are given in the following mnemonic:

> Dant Crux, Lucia, Cineres, Charismata Dia / Ut sit in angariâ quarta sequens feria

> Or in an old English rhyme: "Fasting days and Emberings be / Lent, Whitsun, Holyrood, and Lucie."

> The ember days began on the Wednesday immediately following those days. This meant, for instance, that if September 14 were a Tuesday, the ember days would occur on September 15, 17, and 18.

Please correct me if I have the wrong days. The Vatican 2 "Catholic" church does not follow these anymore:

> Ember Days were effectively abolished as mandatory days of fasting and abstinence on February 17, 1966, by the Apostolic Constitution Paenitemini issued by Pope Paul VI. Additionally, they were removed from the universal liturgical calendar during the 1969 revision of the Roman Calendar, which delegated their observance to the discretion of national bishops' conferences.

Also I don't know if there is a secular connection to the season for agriculture, but the various almanacs like the Farmer's Almanac seems to track or mention the days on their sites:

https://www.farmersalmanac.com/ember-days

They note that each season gave thanks for certain agricultural events: spring gave thanks for light and new growth like flowers, summer for the wheat crop, fall for the grape harvest, and winter for the olive crop.

> According to folklore, the weather conditions of each of the three days of an Embertide foretells the weather conditions for the following three months.

Prayers for our country and those in need

I spend 15 years trying to find Swedish nationalists to rise up to save our country, and then mankind. I walked in the biggest nationalist "nAzI" march in Swedish history and was photographed and can be seen in kike publishing's. I went around in nationalist "gatherings", and it was all a waste of time. If I had met the Swedish Jürgen Conings, perhaps mankind would have been saved.

That is over now though since there is no one willing to do anything. Since no one wanted to save mankind, So I switched to following God with all that fervor. If you actually do any kind of research it's obvious that the Orthodox Church is the true church. So now all my focus is on following God Jesus and doing His will. I am awful at it and please don't judge the Orthodox faith upon retarded me. I am a sinner. I am not just saying this, I am actually the worst ever. I give my life to God and yet I post here... this... and all the other stuff... sklidhfkihlsdfkhjsdfh

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

Anyway, do you have better person to explain Sweden for you? Ask ChatGPT? Lol. Ask me and I will explain it.
