Tom Arnold
The article below describes him as a one man crusade to bring down Trump.

Robert De Niro
Meryl Streep
Madonna
Rosie O'Donnell
Ashley Judd

And almost every "journalist" on the planet.

Also I disagree with your premise.
We each get one vote.

If you don't like the outcome of an election, it is not up to you to attempt to overturn the votes of millions of your fellow citizens other than through the election process.

it doesn't appear that there is a specific law against recording conversations inside the WH. it seems like it's always been a matter of the honor system:

"There's a misimpression that it'd be difficult to sneak a phone into the Sit Room. It wouldn't be. It's a system built on trust. These are supposed to be the finest public servants we have. The WH wasn't designed for the Omarosa s of the world. Sad we now have to accommodate them,"


-Ned Price, former spokesman of the National Security Council

these are all people who had an opinion and shared it, same as you've done in this forum.

really? you're really arguing that an uneducated opinion is equal to an educated opinion? so if a doctor informs you you have cancer you'll go to a mechanic for a second opinion because..... all opinions are equal.

That is not the argument you were making so don't move the goalposts now.

You are saying that someone who is smarter or better informed politically has an opinion worth more than the average dumb hick voter, are you not?

And no, these are not people who have just had an opinion and "shared it". These are people who want to subvert a free election.

good one, ElOrocks. Do you have a quote where he says he has a black friend too?
I wonder if Diamond and Silk have ever been asked about Trump's "my African American" (Northern California rally) comment ?

an informed/educated person's opinion on a topic is worth more than an uninformed/uneducated opinion. i don't go to doctors for car repair and i don't go to mechanics for surgery.

We are not discussing medicine or mechanics.

We are discussing politics.

Tom Arnold's opinion means squat.

Did you even read the article I linked to? I'm guessing not.

Of course an educated and informed opinion is weightier than my dumb opinion but I am still entitled to it. Everyone has one of them too.

Look, you asked if I had any other examples of a person who thinks his/her opinion is worth more than the opinions of his/her fellow citizens.

I gave you multiple examples but at the TOP of that list is Tom Arnold, complete with a link to an article that details how Arnold has made it his "personal mission" to bring down President Trump, an article which you apparently did not read.

Tom Arnold is a washed up habitual drug addict who knows no more about important issues facing Americans than does my cat.

So I don't need him or his personal mission to save me from myself or this country from our freely elected President, any more than I need Omorosa to save this country from our freely elected President.

And I certainly don't need YOU to talk down to me, so save your definitions and your superior attitude.
