11 Reasons Trump Should Resign And Allow My Pug To take Over The Presidency

The United States has been on a steady political decline since late 2016 when a man-child was elected to be the president of these 50 states and various territories. From numerous sexual assault accusations, to garnering support from neo-Nazis and American terrorists, to touting false bravery and ignorance over Twitter, Trump has proven time and time again that he is incredibly unfit to lead the nation's 325 million people.

5 years with my dog, however, have taught me how great he would be at leading the country, especially in comparison to the current POTUS. Below are just a handful of reasons Vader the Pug would be a far better leader than the Donald.

1. He loves everybody, regardless of ethnicity and nationality.

Vader gets really excited whenever he sees people, never paying attention to what color their skin is or what country they may have originated from. He doesn't care! As long as they pay attention to him, he'll love them and respect them as fellow living being.

2. He's loyal and consistent.

https://giphy.com/gifs/election2016-election-2016-...

Vader isn't constantly contradicting himself, or changing his mind. How he feels about something or somebody one day is how he'll feel about it or them the next day, leaving the guesswork out of the equation.

3. He doesn't care what your sexuality is!

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-pride-month-...

The same man who held this flag has failed to acknowledge Pride Month both opportunities he's been given since being in office. In fact, his Department of Justice was scrutinized for trying to argue that Title VII doesn't cover workplace discrimination for sexual orientations.

Vader wouldn't have pursued this.

4. If Vader could talk, he would definitely call out the alt-right.

According to the New York Times, Trump repeatedly defended his original statements about the Charlottesville protests. He stated:

"You had a group on one side that was bad. You had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Nobody wants to say that. I'll say it right now."

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this stance seems to include too much victim blaming and excuse making for the violent, alt-right perpetrators. A simple pug wouldn't have made this rookie mistake of worrying about "hurting feelings" on either side of the protest. Vader would have been blunt and called the neo-Nazis out on their bullsh*t.

5. He's never been accused of sexual assault.

There are entire websites full of the sexist and misogynistic remarks our current POTUS has made.

There are not entire websites full of the sexist and misogynistic remarks Vader has made (because there aren't any).

Coincidence? I think not.

6. He doesn't like golf, so he wouldn't waste valuable time on that.

Trump has consistently called into question how many times Obama played golf while in office, although, as of now, he's played 19% more often than Obama.

Vader doesn't have thumbs, so he couldn't possibly play golf. Additionally, Vader knows to mind his own business and not worry about what other grown people do.

7. People actually like Vader.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/13/...

One of these faces is quite obviously more friendly and likable than the other.

8. He doesn't know how to operate a computer, so he couldn't become a "Twitter Warrior."

https://giphy.com/gifs/trump-politics-twitter-l378...

Trump has been scrutinized time and time again for his "tough guy" attitude and childish manner over Twitter, constantly picking fights and instigating situations he shouldn't.

Vader is a dog, and technology is beyond his realm of expertise.

9. He walks with us as equals.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/14/us/trump-walks-...

If Vader was President, he would've been walking side by side with the Queen, or slightly behind her, looking up at her with adoration and respect because that's what the president should do.

10. He acts his age.

https://giphy.com/gifs/reactionseditor-reaction-l0...

Donald Trump is seventy-two-years old.

Vader is 5 (but thirty-five-years old in human years, according to WebMD).

Trump acts like a child, while Vader acts like most people I know in their thirties, yet another strike against the country's man-child leader.

11. He shows affection towards people he loves.

This photo was taken the day I had my wisdom teeth pulled; Vader sat by me the entire time I was in recovery from said procedure.

Would Trump do this? I'm gonna have to go with "no."

These are but a few reasons my dog, or any dog, really, would be a better President of the United States than Trump. Instead of #Trump2020, we should be chanting #Vader2020.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
