I have now been a journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful | George Monbiot

Rick just nails it here. And his book on Trump’s cheating at golf is a fabulous and hilarious—but also bracing—read. In fact it’s one of the best books about Trump out there.
