In This Article:

On Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted out that four freshmen congresswomen of color, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, should "go back" to where they came from. To highlight just how awful and ridiculous it is to say something like this, here are 10 other things that Donald Trump could have said that would still be better.

"I Like Pineapple On Pizza"

Is this still disgusting? Yeah, but it's an opinion that can at least be defended. Just not by me.

"Nickleback Is My Favorite Band"

I still don't get what Nickleback did to any of us to deserve all of our hate.

"Tinder Gold Is Definitely Worth It"

Sure is! I love paying money to see a bot like my profile!

"Vaccines Cause Autism"

If he said this, we could at least say it's a straight up lie. Facts are way simpler than opinions.

Oh, wait.

"The Earth Is Flat"

Again, another thing we could just straight up fact-check.

"Hot Dogs Are Sandwiches"

Blasphemy!

"Pop-Tarts Are Calzones"

This is what happens when you allow hot dogs to be sandwiches!! We've opened Pandora's box, people!!

"I Still Watch 'The Cosby Show'"

I have a sinking feeling that not only does he still watch it, he enjoys it more now.

"I Have No Idea What I'm Doing"

I mean, at least this would be a true statement.

ALMOST ANYTHING THE HELL ELSE!!!

I mean come on!!! How hard is it to just NOT BE RACIST?!?!? How is that a thing you have to actively try to avoid???

*Sigh*

Anyway, moral of the story: don't be racist. Just say you love Nickleback.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
