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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
