I Believe… [Enforcing Rights Instead of Culling Privilege]

I believe… that it doesn’t make sense to focus on privilege and trying to eliminate it; it would be far more logical and healthy to focus on rights and trying to enforce them.

I Believe… [Dolezal Was Ahead of the Curve]

I believe... that if “whiteness” becomes a catch-all for “oppressor,” one avenue to pursue is for white people to start doing what Rachel Dolezal did.

I Believe… [Political Science]

I believe… that science should always be apolitical.

I Believe… [Permanent Desk Jockey]

…that a police officer with a history of brutality complaints should, just like a domestic abuser, be legally prevented from carrying a deadly weapon of any kind. That officer should be permanently assigned to a desk job and not be allowed to work with the public in a person-to-person capacity.

I Believe… [Smile. Nod. Ignore.]

…that I’m starting to adopt a “Smile and Nod and Ignore” more and more people clamoring for attention these days. “COVID was created by Obama!” Smile. Nod. Ignore. “All white people are oppressors.” Smile. Nod. Ignore. “I don’t have to wear a mask at CostCo. It’s a free country!” Smile. Nod. Walk Far Away. Ignore.

I Believe… [Brandon Stark in 2020]

I believe… that I don’t need the presidential nominee to be exciting. I’ve had nearly four years of exciting and I’d like a nice, competent president that I only know about when he (or she) passes some quality legislation that helps the country. Maybe someone like Brandon Stark.

I Believe… [Class Warfare Prime]

…that it’s not class warfare if you’re still ordering things from Amazon.

I Believe… [Equal Opportunity Assholes]

I believe… that an added benefit of social media in Vegas is that I can spend a solid thirty minutes every morning blocking both Critical Race Theorists and MAGA turds in equal measure!

I Believe… [The Pandemic 15 Is Truly American]

I believe… that only in America can we experience a pandemic followed by massive unemployment and restaurants closed down and still fucking gain weight.

I Believe… [It’s the Flags You Fly That Brand You a Dipshit]

I believe… that no matter how righteous your protest, as soon as you display that Confederate flag and those swastikas, we all know you’re an asshole.

I Believe… [More Than Social Distancing]

…that in addition to giving each other six feet of distance physically, we might also consider giving each other a bit of judgement distance as well. None of us really know what the fuck we’re doing in this period of history and everyone is trying to do the best they can with limited (and sometimes skewed) information.

I Believe… [Corporations Are Shitty People]

…that many Americans are discovering for the first time that corporations despite their legal designation are not people. Or if they are, they’re the kind of people you can’t count on in a crisis.

I Believe… [Del Taco Kicks Ass]

I believe… that reducing restaurants to take-out or drive-thru genuinely focuses your attention on the quality of the food sans the distractions of venue. For the record, Del Taco is far superior to Taco Bell. #rosecoloredcoronavirusglasses

I Believe… [Crisis Management]

I believe… that how you behave in a crisis will determine how well you do once it’s passed.

I Believe… [Toilet Paper? Really?]

I believe… that buying toilet paper in bulk during a health crisis may be just shy of buying duct tape in bulk prior to Y2K in complete kneejerk stupidity. It’s like people hoarding air fresheners in prep for a hurricane.

Don Hall 3/9/20 Don Hall 3/9/20

I Believe… [Geriatric Politics]

I believe… that the presidential race will look like two old men fighting over a parking spot for their matching Mercedes. The undercard should be Nancy Pelosi and Judge Judy wrestling in the grocery store over the last jar of pickles.

I Believe… [Thanks, Harvey!]

…that all of the Oscar winners who effusively thanked Harvey Weinstein publicly for his contribution to their success will unlikely be visiting him prison. Wonder what they’ll do with the statues?

I Believe… [Disneyland is What We All Need for a Moment]

I believe… that all it takes to shake off the calcified crust of living in a world of horrors is a day at Disneyland and a belief that despite our flaws there can and should be joy.

I Believe [Gaslighting Johnny Depp]

…that while not a definitive rebuke to #MeToo, if you believed Amber Heard’s accusations against Johnny Depp, you got played by an asshole using a movement for her own personal gain.

I Believe… [A Lightly Worn Hat]

…that like a character in an improvised scene, a job should be treated like a lightly worn hat, instantly removed to reveal the true self whenever necessary.
