Trump's 'Plan' To Defeat ISIS

The travesty of Trump's attack on ISIS.

It has been 150 days at the time of writing since Trump was officially made our president. Now things haven't become the dystopian world that many of us thought it would. Granted we aren't living in vaults, and living out all the other aspects of the Fallout games that I will not list, but there is a lot to be desired. In particular, a lot of the promises he has made. Most notably the crap show going on with Comey really leaves some integrity to be desired, and also the trip he took abroad was overshadowed by the leak that foreign leaders were prepping to serve his favorite meals, use slides with more pictures and less information, and scheduling "down time" AKA nap time into the president's schedule. It really does seem like Geoffrey Baratheon is in the White House.

If only George R. R. Martin could somehow comment on whether or not his character would act in such a way. He has? You can read it here? Well, there you go. You can see what I mean when I say there is a lot left to be desired. Jesus, there is a wing of Vice News right now which exclusively tracks each day of Trump's Presidency. Seriously I'm not lying, and every single day there is a scandal. And you can read these scandals here. The administration is kind of comical. Especially the plan to defeat ISIS. This is perhaps the greatest point that demonstrates the voluntary ignorance many Trump supporters are taking. So in 2016 when Trump bragged about his 30-day plan to defeat ISIS, people ate it up. Guess what? It's been 150 days. This leaves us with two options. (1) He was lying to all of you, he is a con artist, and he duped you. (2) He doesn't think ISIS is a big enough deal to get around to it. I mean, if he did, then he would have taken his 30-day plan and the Manchester and London attacks would have never have happened. But if he isn't a con artist, I guess he would rather just watch people die. No? Ok so then he does have a 30-day plan? No? OK, so he was lying? He was using rhetoric? Do you see how confusing this is?!

I'm sorry it's for being so emotional but I've been listening to several things that have really been irking me recently about the President. The reason this article is titled as such is that that instance really serves to demonstrate that he was either lying the entire time or literally has no idea how the government works. Whichever answer you go with, he comes off looking like a jerk or an idiot. Just like he did when he started criticizing the Mayor of London who was trying to make sure that people were not alarmed by the large police presence, AFTER he had urged people to stay away from the areas where the attack had taken place, fully acknowledging the attack. Trump is quite literally a child, and he's far removed from the "lad on tour" politically incorrect character of Winston Churchill, instead, he is an infuriating individual who refuses to listen to facts or anything apart from his own opinion for that matter.

Disclaimer: I'm fully aware of what a straw man argument is and I am fully aware of the fact I have used one here.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
