Are You Pressed or Nah?

Recap of my week after the election.

Are You Pressed or Nah?
http://presidentialpolls-2016.com/us-elections-2016/

With the recent election results, the world is in disbelief. It's very disappointing that people didn't vote because they didn't like either candidate, they felt their vote didn't count or were plain lazy. Now that their president has the highest office in the land, let's break this thing down.

First, before Trump can repeal any law Obama put into effect, it goes through a chain of command. Just because Republicans run the House and Senate now, the majority has to agree. Some of you may be too young to remember this, but when President Bush was in office and the Republicans ran the House and Senate, Democrat's gave them a run for their money. But I'm very disappointed in the fact that Trump supporters are pressed, which means angry and will not give other parties respect.

This past week I've had to bite my tongue because I will not come off my throne to address petty peasants. Let's make one thing crystal clear, I'm entitled to my opinion and so is everyone else. But if you attack me over a general post that didn't have anything or state your name personal, why do you feel the need to tag me? I have never in my entire social media experience had to reply to so many ignorant people who feel the need justify their racist and bias opinions. I commend one of my new friends on my social media pages who had a very intellectual conversation with me about this whole election. He stated that people need to do their research themselves and look past color and gender and look at the big picture that neither one was a great choice but who was more qualified to do the job. Also, if you didn't vote just because that's ridiculous. It seems to me that the people who make the most noise are the ones who are protesting. Now what perplexes me is you didn't have time to vote, but if you have time to block city streets, set trees on fire or stand in front of Trump Tower, then you should've had time to vote.

In life we tend to listen to respond, not to hear. And at the rate that we are going the end is very near if we don't get our act together real soon and open our eyes.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
