A wide angle photo of the Shafer trail - a dirt road that snakes its way down a bowl-shaped cliff in Utah. The cliffs are a golden brown color with various shrubs dotted around the landscape. Blue, partly-cloudy skies are overhead. In the far distance are snow-capped mountains.

Happy Tuesday! Today's sunrise was a study in texture and layers from the top sky all the way down to the reflecting sun on the frozen snow over the dunes, with a wave splash for good measure. Tap for full size, particularly because it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

@cnn.com with it's pulse really on the current events plaguing the nation here:

Dear Donald Trump,
I can see that you do not like being laughed at. Just know I will laugh very hard when you either die or get arrested. In fact I will laugh until I cannot and then go buy some nitrous oxide to force myself to laugh some more.

The photo is gorgeous! I miss Arizona.

This response is a tour de force.

Trump accuses all 342 million Americans of also being in Epstein Files

Mayfly should be the standard unit of measurement for the ripeness window. Like a Scaramucci but 10 days, 23 hours, and x minutes shorter in length.

I buy the most fluorescent green ones they have, and they’re ready when I get home from shopping. I like them snappy. I’ll eat them firm. Banana binge lasts 48 hours, at most.

Same but not. The avocado window is…15 minutes.

Spies gonna spy. That was 100% gonna happen and everyone knew it. Don’t let a little espionage take your eyes off the prize.

Journalists report the news. This is news.

OH, you mean that way. Sign me up.

Not now, they can’t. We do need to knock heads of the 90 million nonvoters.

We don’t even know the status of the $230M claim filed for being investigated (Russia), violation of privacy (search warrant, Mar-a-Lago), and malicious prosecution (classified document).

Since he appointed his defense attorneys to top DOJ positions, they will decide settlement on their own case.

Makes me wonder why. I mean sure it’s on message to not investigate crimes against Trump’s enemies, but the price is losing control of the outcome.

If he goes full-on king, he can pardon anyway. He might not care tho. Pardoning Jan 6 MAGAts was a message. Individual dickheads have nothing he wants.

It’ll be tricky. The UAE put $500 million in his crypto company, and the US is now selling it advance technology chips, but the selling will be conducting foreign affairs (official). SCOTUS has so defanged public corruption laws, prosecutors would almost need a signed contract as evidence. It’s bad.

Discovery and depositions will be lit. *jk* Donald always drops lawsuits before discovery in defamation cases. The extortions never get anywhere near a court—for those he uses abuse of power.

Trevor's only job is to get the video admitted as evidence. Wap, wap, wap.
