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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
