Thanks, Sam Bee.

13 Times Samantha Bee Accurately Described Our Reactions To The Trump Administration
Wired

It has been a difficult month coping with Donald Trump's presidency. Luckily, we have comedian Samantha Bee to perfectly capture our reactions to the Trump Administration's first month in the White House.

1. On November 9th, 2016.

Seriously, how?

2. When Trump was inaugurated.

3. When the Women's March in Washington had three times as many people as the inauguration.

4. When Trump signed the Executive Order to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

5. When Steve Bannon, former executive chairman of alt-right news publication "Breitbart," was added to the administration's National Security Council.

Steven Bannon reportedly helped craft the administration's ban on Muslim immigration. Breitbart News is known as being a nationalist, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigration publication. It is home to online editor Milo Yiannopolous, a man who considers hate speech to be synonymous with free speech.

6. When the White House deleted all references to "Climate Change" and "Global Warming" on their website.

**cries because where will we live when the planet is destroyed**

7. When Trump said in his press conference, "Number 1: I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. Number 2: racism. The least racist person."

I wish I was making this up. I really do.

8. When, in that same press conference, Trump defended his incorrect information about his win being "the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan" (which is, of course, false) by saying "I was given that information. I don't know. I was just given... well, I don't know."

Alright. Trump ranked 45 out of the past 58 US presidential campaigns in regards to the number of Electoral College votes received. Yet, he continuously claims that it was the biggest win since Reagan? Trump, serious question: If the same people who gave you that information told you to resign, would you? (Asking for a friend.)

9. When Kellyanne Conway constructed an entire lie, the "Bowling Green Massacre," to defend Trump's travel ban.

10. When the Department of Education spells W.E.B. Du Bois' name wrong in a tweet and then incorrectly spells the word "apologies" as "apologizes" in the tweet after.

Sup, Betsy DeVos. How's it going?

11. When Trump says he will hire the "best people, the smartest people" and will "drain the swamp," yet he brings on advisors like Flynn, Pruitt, and DeVos...

Or, when he says he will build a wall. And make Mexico pay for it. Still.

12. Every time Donald Trump says the words "huge," "tremendous," "Make American Great Again," "total disaster," "believe me," etc...

13. Finally, when Trump threatened to take away federal funds from UC Berkeley over Twitter.


Oh, yes please take away federal funds from the #1 public research university in the world. Youwon't make America great by undermining its greatest institutions.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
