Between Trump and COVID-19 It's Like One Never Ending Rainy Day
Guess I broke another rule
Don't know what I'm getting into
Should have played some dirty pool
Don't know what I'm getting into
Hey hey rainy day how many lives did you ruin today
Hey hey rainy day how many lie did you tell today Just say.
Watch the rain. Watch it fall down on me.
Rain rain I heard the news
Ya got no choice when there's nothing to choose
Hey rain I didn't lose
Ya got no choice cause there's nothing to lose.
Chorus
Bridge:
The thunder roars. The old man snores. It rains it pours. Can't go outdoors.
They say he paid a bill
I'm just here pretending there's free will.
Destinations to fulfill
Reaching for another blue pill.
Chorus
We get stuck between floors
Lights go out can't open the doors
Can't sail to a distant shore
Maybe rain will stop all of the wars.
Chorus
Know the future know the past
Know the first. Know the last
And we know the die's been cast
From our first breath to our last gasp.
Chorus
It rains it pours. The old man snores. The thunder roars can't go out doors.
Guess I broke another rule
Don't know what I'm getting into
Should have played some dirty pool
Don't know what I'm getting into
Hey hey rainy day how many lives did you ruin today?
Hey hey rainy day how many lies did you tell today Just say.
Watch the rain. Watch it fall down on me.
Hey hey rainy day Hey hey rainy day Hey hey rainy day Hey hey rainy day

Bombshells About Trump From Bolton's book
Five bombshells about Trump from Bolton's book
Excerpts from former national security adviser John Bolton’s book about his time in the Trump administration paint a damning view of the president as a “stunningly uninformed” man who was outmatched by the job he was elected to do, according to three newspapers that obtained advance copies of the book.
The White House has sought to block the publication of The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, filing suit against Bolton this week. In doing so, however, the Trump administration has helped elevate the memoir’s profile, sending it to the top of bestseller lists nationwide even before it is published on June 23. Excerpts published Tuesday by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post contain numerous bombshells. Here are some of the most explosive:
Trump asked China’s Xi for help with his reelection
In an excerpt published in the Wall St. Journal, Bolton, who resigned from the administration in September, wrote the following: “Trump said approvingly that there was great hostility to China among the Democrats. Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win,” Bolton wrote. “He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump’s exact words, but the government’s prepublication review process has decided otherwise.”
Trump told Xi he approved of building Chinese concentration camps for Uighur citizens
Another excerpt published by the Journal deals with conversations between Trump and Xi about the construction of concentration camps for China’s largely Muslim Uighur minority, whose loyalty to Beijing is considered suspect by the regime. “At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang,” Bolton wrote. “According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.”
Trump spoke of executing U.S. journalists who didn’t reveal sources for stories
According to excerpts provided to the Washington Post, Bolton details a July 2019 meeting with the president during which Trump complained bitterly about the media coverage he had received. Specifically, Trump railed against journalists who refused to reveal the sources for their stories, Bolton said. “These people should be executed,” Trump said in the meeting, according to Bolton. “They are scumbags.”
Pompeo and other Trump staffers derided the president behind his back
An excerpt published by the New York Times recounts an incident that occurred at Trump’s 2018 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slipped Bolton a note about Trump that read, “He is so full of s***.”
Shortly after he began in his post, Bolton was told by former chief of staff John Kelly, “You can’t imagine how desperate I am to get out of here.” Kelly, according to Bolton’s retelling, then added, “This is a bad place to work, as you will find out.”
Democrats botched Trump’s impeachment by focusing on Ukraine
In the excerpts published by the Times, Bolton is sharply critical of Democrats in Congress for limiting their impeachment proceedings on Trump’s quid pro quo with Ukrainian leaders to help secure his reelection. Instead, Bolton writes, they should have expanded their inquiry to a host of misdeeds on the part of the president, including what he describes as improper involvement on behalf of authoritarian governments in China and Turkey.
“A president may not misuse the national government’s legitimate powers by defining his own personal interest as synonymous with the national interest, or by inventing pretexts to mask the pursuit of personal interest under the guise of national interest,” Bolton wrote. “Had the House not focused solely on the Ukraine aspects of Trump’s confusion of his personal interests,” he adds, “there might have been a greater chance to persuade others that ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ had been perpetrated.”
Bolton refused to testify in the impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Good News For America! Coronavirus spiking in counties that voted for Trump i
Coronavirus is spiking disproportionately in counties that voted for Trump in 2016
The 2016 election may help map the next coronavirus hotspots.
While COVID-19 is finally beginning to wane in some of the U.S. cities it hit hardest and earliest, coronavirus spread is still far from its peak in most small cities and rural areas across the country. And over the past four weeks, it's been more likely that counties will show a high prevalence of coronavirus next if they voted for President Trump in 2016, an analysis by the Brookings Institution reveals.
A high prevalence of coronavirus means a county saw coronavirus case rates of 100 or more per 100,000 people. Hundreds of counties have gained high-prevalence status over the past few weeks, and 176 new counties joined that list from May 10 to May 17 alone. Those 176 counties voted for Trump by a 12 percent margin in 2016 — Trump outright won 151 of them — and are also less urban and less racially diverse than areas where coronavirus spread in March and April, Brookings notes.
COVID-19 obviously doesn't discriminate based on politics, so there is no definitive reason why these counties are seeing coronavirus spikes now. It's likely just because rural counties are more spread out than urban areas and have seen slower coronavirus spread, and also coincidentally went for Trump in 2016. But Trump has also been eager to reopen businesses, especially in less populous areas that didn't see as many coronavirus cases. And if his supporters were more likely to follow his lead and get back to normal, that could be aiding the spread as well. Find the whole study at the Brookings Institution.
