Russia Might Have Had A Hand In The Election Result

Because 2016 couldn't have gotten any worse

Russia Might Have Had A Hand In The Election Result

You might still have family members clinging to the idea that trumpy was the better choice out of the two back in November. “Our president elect isn’t racist- he just won the support of the literal 21st century Nazi movement and declared that Mexicans in America are rapists and murderers.” “He’s not sexist, he just openly admitted to sexually assaulting women while fighting against the claims from dozens of women who say that he sexually assaulted them.” “He’s not evil, he just wants to spark a genocide against Muslim people for having the audacity to exist and have what is essentially the same religion that most Americans have but under a different title.

Here’s another one your loved ones might have to come up with an excuse for. “No he totally won the election fair and square. He just failed to get the popular vote and the fascist government in Russia manipulated the election somewhat!”

US officials aren’t entire sure if we can say for sure what, if anything, Moscow did, but the CIA is pretty sure that they at least hacked some emails and shared them with Republican candidates. Naturally, the rest of the right wing is abuzz with the phrase, “nuh-uh” and the left wing really wants this to be true so we can maybe impeach our new orange president.

Like he does with every controversial thing that should have thrown him in prison or at least kicked him out of the race, trump says that anyone who doubts him must be stupid. Meanwhile, a full investigation is being launched before he can take office.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised. Russia did have one of Putin's friends threaten the US with nuclear war if we didn’t elect their best buddy trump. If your candidate is the most pitiful excuse for a politician you can find, your best bet is to bring out the nukes if he didn’t win.

If I were to make a guess, I doubt the outcome of the investigation will change much. The electoral college has already determined that all of the rape, fraud, and child molestation charges weren’t enough to persuade their vote, then I doubt treason will raise alarms for anyone else in the government.

If you’re still unsure as to why everyone is freaking out about the upcoming four years, this is why. In the process of two years, the man taking office has been found to have done and support a lot of horrific things. We have had a spike in hate crimes from the brilliant little snowflakes that voted for him. And no matter what crime the guy commits, he gets away with it and faces no consequences whatsoever. It’s not that Clinton lost. It’s that we are honestly looking at what is the failure of democracy and our government to take action.

We’re in danger and the only way that is going to change is if we take action and force our politicians to be held responsible for their actions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

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.
