Trump's Apology Is Garbage

This is not about politics.

Trump's Apology Is Garbage
Business Insider

As I am sure you're aware, Donald Trump is currently grappling with the backlash of a leaked hot-mic video from 2005.

The fact that anyone who would ever say anything like that, regardless of when or where should be considered for the most powerful position in this country is beyond me, but let's take a look at his "apology."

To begin, his original apology excused his sexual assault condoning and confessing language as "locker room talk." He then went on to only apologize to "anyone who was offended."

HE IS NOT SORRY.

Anyone who apologizes for someone else being offended is not sorry for what they said or did. I cannot believe that has to be explained to anyone.

The reason his first apology was so offensively pathetic has to be due to the fact that no matter what he says, people are still choosing to vote for him! This has nothing to do with Hillary or even politics for that matter. He is a terrible human being and always has been. However, I am sure some brainwashed Trump Nut is raging behind the glow of their computer screen thinking, "But he re-apologized, so it's OK."

Why yes, yes he did. He used this opportunity to excuse this as "not an important issue" as if women being sexually assaulted by celebrities because they can, is not an issue. He used that opportunity to try to excuse his actions and words by stating that meeting "grieving mothers" on the campaign trail have changed him. He used this opportunity to say that his actions were not as bad a Bill and Hillary Clintons' like a thirteen-year-old trying to deflect the fact that they were caught with pot on their brother or by claiming that they drank the vodka and replaced it with water.

I refuse to accept the unsupported, fear-mongering claim that jobs are disappearing is more important than the safety and dignity of women.

I refuse to give a shit about how you think you are changed because you still say the same sexist, racist, and prejudiced bullshit. Moreover, why were you ever like that in 2005 anyway? That's not 1955, so there is no believable reason for thinking these remarks are even a little bit understandable. I mean, hell, if someone said that in 1955, they'd still be an asshole.

I refuse to accept your deflection on to the Clintons because I cannot stand any of you. We get it; you're all terrible, but you, you rotten excuse for a human being, are the worst of them all.

This is not a matter of politics. This is a matter of being a decent human. If you respect a single woman in your life, you will not vote for this pile of garbage. Don't even vote for Hillary if you hate her that much. I don't care. Write in Mickey Mouse, but whatever you do, do not allow this evil stupidity to be our legacy.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
