3 October 2019:

The Purjang of late Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji
was held on the 3rd of October, corresponding to the 5th day
of the Eighth Bhutanese month, at Wolakha, in Punakha.
The Purjang was attended by His Majesty The King,
His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, and the entire Royal Family.
Representatives of the government led by the Prime Minister, members of Parliament, the armed forces
dignitaries from the international community
as well as thousands of people
whose lives have been touched by late Yab
were present to offer their respects.

The prayers for the last rites was presided over by
His Holiness the Je Khenpo, and conducted by the Zhung Dratshang.
Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji passed away peacefully on the 12th of May this year.
Thousands of Bhutanese offered their respects
while the Kudung lay in repose at Wolakha.
Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji is the maternal grandfather
of His Majesty The King.

Known as a pioneering entrepreneur
and a great religious patron, Yab sponsored the construction and renovation of
many important religious structures across Bhutan throughout his lifetime.
Late Yab was conferred the Red Scarf by His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo in 1991 :smile:

My cynical soul would say he's done his job of making people long for the Deep State. Sigh.

If he does step down, it will be a real shock to his cult-of-the-personality followers. They'll be angry about it, because their only 2 emotions are sneering, jeering triumph and paranoid, self-righteous fury.

Yes, he's worse. But the Democrats are totally on that train. Michelle Obama had a big organic garden and wanted people to be healthy, but Obama was all about biotechnology and appointed Tom Vilsack. Just like Melania might have her Be Best platform, and Trump is a professional bully. You can see very simply, through presidential partnerships, the difference between what "the people" want internally and what they know how to ask for and manifest externally.

There's a Democrat in the House blocking legislation that would protect the bee population, so it's not entirely a partisan issue, although he is inclined to support Trump.
Like Trump, Obama was cosy with Monsanto. We're back to the "lesser of two evils". If they're the only real choices available, I'll take the lesser. Otherwise, you're just giving in to the greater evil, while attempting to claim the moral high ground at the expense of a worse result.
