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.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
