Bronzer prices have gone through the roof this year, and that has to be at least part of the story. ---

If the leadership of the military is waging wars on its own, that would mean that Donald Trump didn’t order the attack which killed Iranian General Soleimani back in January. Is this the strong leader that Trump’s fans see; a Commander in Chief who can’t even stop the military from waging wars on its own? ---

That’s for sure. I am currently reading NYT reporter _Michael Schmidt’s_ book **Donald Trump vs The United States** , a comprehensive detail of Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice with regards to the Russia investigation. The book had a detail that I had never seen reported anywhere before - one that must have slipped by the reporters that summarized this book. It was a detail regarding Michael Flynn and the interview where he lied to the FBI. It was early afternoon on a sunny cloudless day. Flynn looked out the window and said “Just look at that beautiful black sky.” It’s a weird detail, but one I found telling. Was it his way of suggesting that his lies weren’t really lies inside the alternate reality of Trumpworld? It’s just bizarre. ---

Mostly how the investigation into trump possibly being a Russian asset got dropped. Want to up that stomach churning? Trump on tape talking to Woodward about the virus. Nearly 200 thousand dead, and he said he didn’t want to start a panic. Gah! ---

He TOLD Woodward he “knew it was deadly stuff.” 🤨 He was probably lying about KNOWING it, casting himself as the expert in all things (again). It’s more likely that he wasn’t even paying attention to his briefings, but thought it would sound impressive. ---
