1000 pieces by rhoing

1000 pieces

Yeah, I said I wouldn’t post completed puzzles, but I’m still reeling from the election and fearful (as a dad and grandpa) of what is going to be implemented from the new administration’s playbook besides tariffs-tariffs-tariffs, deportations-deportations-deportations, and retribution-retribution-retribution.

The analogy for a 1,000-piece puzzle is the new administration’s playbook. I downloaded Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise (aka, Project 2025) and I’ve done a bit of digging in it. But someone better-suited to translate all the policy-speak and legalese is an attorney: Tristan Snell. Here are his Substack dives into the document:
     • Part 1: Plans for the bureaucracy
     • Part 2: Homeland Security; immigration
     • Part 3: Foreign policy; food safety
     • Part 4: Education; the environment
     • Part 5: Health care
     • Part 6: A common thread
     • Part 7: The economy
     • Closing argument

BTW, the puzzle is titled “Wanderlust: At the Foot of Alps, Bavaria, Germany.” First puzzle in three months.

That's a lovely puzzle! Looks like it was challenging.

@blueberry1222 Some podcast/audio possibilities ... if your cardiologist will sign off on you listening!

Hard to find what might be good about the incoming regime, for sure.
Love this puzzle. So many similar colour pieces, it must have been a challenge.

Sorry the election is causing you so much anxiety. We'll pray that those in power will remember who their constituents are and perhaps heed words of those looking out for the good of others.

@randystreat I fear those particular prayers will go unanswered…
