I feel like no matter what happens in my career endeavors after today, going to grad school is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I very much believe in the Intentional Fallacy. If Donald Trump lies and dopes and bumbles and staggers his way into peace in the middle east, he gets credit for it. He owns it.

When Trump says fake news, he means journalism that makes points with which he disagrees, usually about him.
