while continuing to blend. Taste for salt and acidity and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.

and without being discovered, God only knows. We could have Trump Cells all over the country.

He's too busy Tweeting, golfing, destroying Obama's legacy and insulting the citizens of the U.S. and the world, he can't be bothered with running the country and we should consider ourselves damned lucky that's the case.


We've always heard there are a group of wealthy people that keep a low profile who are manipulating the world, but I've always found that hard to fathom. Get too many rich people together and they'll eventually stab each other in the back. Right now, I'd guess the Russian oligarchs and Putin are doing the manipulating by taking over/invading these smaller countries as practice to take over the EU and U.S. Putin may be intelligent, but he underestimates the U.S. without Trump. The path won't be so simple with a new president and citizens who are always at the ready with pitchforks and hot tar.


In the background? I'd say the CIA probably influences our foreign policy more than we know.
