Detractors of the Trump administration say the 22-year-old former grocery clerk and intern at DHS, recent graduate of the University of Texas-San Antonio, model UN club member and Rob Schneider impersonator is "unqualified" for the position he's in.

On the other hand ...

Whatever.

Shit's fucked up, and it probably will be for the rest of my life. I'm 63 and in good health, but we're now way past the point of no-return and bullshit "he/she/they said" reporting.

I'm beginning my journalism classes this fall with a unit formerly called "Journalism's place in a democratic society" now titled "Journalism's place in a police state." Lesson number one: tell the fucking truth call out bullshit.
