Trump's Bad Week, Hillary's Poll Numbers

Election Update
Ydop

Donald Trump has had a few bad weeks one after another. He's said many things that I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable repeating. So here we are just mere weeks before the election and one nominee is surging while the other falls (not so gracefully I might add). Does this mean the election is over? Well, the short answer would be no. Votes will still be cast on November 8th and many of those votes will still be for Trump. The long answer is...well sort of. With the election getting closer and closer and Trump alienating more and more of the nation's key demographics it seems like this may be a hole he won't be able to climb out of. His insults about women and bragging about sexual assault alone are enough to potentially upset 51% of our population. Then there's the blatant hypocrisy where Trump doesn't want you to talk about his alleged sexual assault cases, but he loves bringing up the cases against Bill Clinton, a man not evening running for president.

I really don't understand blaming the wife of the man for the man's wrongdoing. If you want to dislike a presidential nominee, then I firmly believe that it should be based on their own merit. So if you want to dislike Hillary, by all means, do, she isn't perfect, but at least blame her for the stuff SHE actually did. So I went off on a bit of a tangent but that's how crazy this election actually is. Sure we all say Trump is down in the polls but honestly with how crazy everything has actually been, nothing can be certain until all the votes are cast. So moral of the story go out and vote...also, Trump had a bad week.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
