Yet Another Reason To Hate Donald Trump

On July 13, Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to express to the general public what an idiot he is. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a statement about Trump, calling him “inconsistent” and stating she “couldn’t imagine what this country would be ”if he was elected president." He responded by attacking the 83-year-old justice on Twitter.

Implying that her mind is shot because of her age is a bold statement coming from a 70-year-old man.

Are you going to apologize to Justice Ginsburg for being an asshole on the internet?

And here's where he attacked the entire SCOTUS. Nice.

Incompetent judge? Replace her with real opinions? Her mind is shot? Shame on you, Trump. That’s no way to talk to a sweet little lady who happens to also be a total badass. For anybody who may not know much about her, let me tell you guys just a few of the incredible things RBG has accomplished thus far in her lifetime.

  1. She graduated top of her class at Cornell in 1954, a time when most women didn’t even attend college.
  2. After marrying her dear husband Marty, she had her first child and then got into Harvard Law School.
  3. She was one of eight female students in a class of 500. These eight women were chided by the dean for “taking the places of qualified males.” In response, RBG excelled academically and became the first female member of the Harvard Law Review.
  4. Then she transferred to Columbia and became a member of its law review as well, because why stop at two Ivy League schools?
  5. She graduated first in her class there, too.
  6. In 1972, she became Columbia’s first tenured female professor.
  7. President Bill Clinton appointed her to the Supreme Court in 1993. Senate confirmed her, 96 to 3.
  8. In 1996, RBG wrote SCOTUS’s landmark decision in United States v. Virginia, stating that Virginia Military Institute could not refuse to admit women.
  9. On June 26, 2015, she sided with the majority and the result was legalized same sex marriage in all 50 states.
  10. RBG is a firm believer in gender equality, human rights, and separation of church and state. As the second woman to ever grace the Supreme Court, she favors moderation. Although she is one of the more liberal judges on the court, she does not write anybody off for having opinions that differ from her own. Justice Scalia, known as one of the most notoriously conservative justices, was her very best friend before he passed away.

I could go on forever about all of the incredible things RBG has done, but that’s not my point here. How anybody could call such an accomplished, well-respected woman “incompentent” and insinuate that she’s got dementia is beyond disgraceful. Of course, she made comments about Trump first, but everything she said was the truth.

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.
