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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
