The reason that recent signed books are not very valuable is because in America, there are more people trying to make a profit on signatures than there are people who appreciate them.

- Reposted by GeorgeI hope our Olympic athletes are ready to be booed mercifully in Italy starting on Friday. I think the fans there will hate on our athletes even worse than the Russians. Every time they take the podium and our national anthem is played we’re gonna hear what the rest of the world thinks of us now.

That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
