I Believe… [I Would've Taped Those Meetings, Too]

By Don Hall

…that the irony of Trump attacking the Free Press and our full-throated defense of it is that it ignores the fact that one major factor in the man getting elected was… the Free Press and their greed for numbers.

…that what gets lost in all of our talk about the rights of individuals is the required responsibility to the body politic to get them.

…that, while I’m no fan of Omarosa, it is fun watching her troll Trump in ways that make the Oval Office seem even more like a telenova.

…that the only thing that distinguishes humans from animals is our ability to take in information and act consciously based on that information. That, and we don't taste as good as chicken.

…that if one embraces the online rage mobs when they attack people you disagree with you've earned it when they come after you. Also, if I started the #cancelallbrownpeople movement or tweeted "Black men are all bullshit," I'm almost 1000% certain I'm not getting hired to the New York Times editorial board.
