Is TIME sending us a subliminal message?


Russian-American Lobbyist Says He Attended 2016 Meeting With Donald Trump Jr.
A Russian-American lobbyist says he attended a June 2016 meeting with President Donald Trump's son, marking another shift in the account of a discussion that was billed as part of a Russian government effort to help the Republican's White House campaign.
Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his participation to The Associated Press on Friday.


As a graphic designer of  forty+ years, I became curious about the TIME cover. I first viewed it from a distance on TV. It looked as though the words on Jr.'s lip and nose, was cocaine. And the other white highlighted words are curious also. LOL  Kudos to the TIME art director and graphic designer.

The smoking gun has fingerprints on it

Trump Jr. Was Told in Email of Russian Effort to Aid Campaign
Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.


Odd how these emails surfaced so soon after Trump's meeting with Putin.

They already know our passwords, so why not? It’s like hiring the guy who stole your car stereo to put it back in. - Jimmy Kimmel
