we always defined "Experts" as "Assholes from out of town."

I read an article on where Trump may have gotten his idea. It seems that some cult "Expert" is selling a watered down form of bleach to his faithful as a treatment for everything from Aids to Zika Virus. That has to be the Expert that agrees with trump.

Got sick of their administration fluffing BS. I loved reading the readers comments to editorials, but too many of the eds and articles were just fluffy pieces for drumpf so I quit them.

The editorial instinct that made them say it in the first place is what infuriates me.
