Top 5 WTF Moments During The DNC
CNN

In comparison to the RNC, the week before, the DNC was expected to be much smoother and less outrageous. However, issues began pouring in since day one.

1. Wikileaks reveal.


In yet another email scandal for the Democrats, Wikileaks published thousands of emails between staffers of the DNC which discussed ways to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign during the primaries. This gave evidence to the worst kept secret in the Democratic Party, the DNC preferred Hillary to win. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, insisted of being neutral until now and was booed by Sander supporters when she took the mic Monday of the convention. She promptly resigned as the chair, only to be scooped up later by Hillary's campaign.

2. Bernie gets booed


Despite the new revelations, Bernie still a job to do. That same day, Bernie addressed his supporters, urging them to support and vote for Hillary Clinton. That did not fare well as his own supporters booed him as he tried to calm them down while saying "this is the reality we live in."

3. Sarah Silverman rant


That same night, Sarah Silverman and Senator Al Franken took to the stage. The night's theme was unity and to display that, Franken (a Hillary Supporter) and Silverman (a Bernie supporter) tried to show that bruised feelings can heal. Silverman tried to explain that Bernie supporters can still rally behind Hillary but was booed by ardent Bernie supporters. She eventually went off script, "to the Bernie or Bust people, you're being ridiculous," which prompted even louder boos from the audience.

"You're being ridiculous"

4. Sander delegates stage fart in


To show their commitment to Bernie and defiance to Hillary and the DNC, delegates pledged to Bernie staged a fart in. Prior to Hillary's speech, delegates chowed down on beans and would let it rip during Hillary's acceptance speech to show what they really thought of her.

5. Hillary's critics


After Hillary's acceptance speech, some critics attacked her delivery instead of her content. Specifically, lamenting over her lecturing and aggressive tone with many saying that she should calm down and smile more. More of this to come if she is elected as President.

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.

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.
