Clinton-Trump Round 2 Was Mud-Slinging At Its Best

From the Desk of Amanda Byrd.

After watching last night’s debate, I can honestly say that this country is doomed no matter who wins. The amount of mud that was slung could have built a city. It is simply ridiculous for people who claim to have the country’s best interests at heart to act like a bunch of grade school children out on the playground. Nothing concrete was actually discussed and America’s time was wasted for having watched the squabbling children. Trump and Clinton are out to destroy each other in this race and they are going to take America down along with them.

Trump is a misogynistic, sexist jerk and Clinton is a lying, conniving, power-hungry worm. See? Do you see how easy it is to sling mud and call people names? Exactly. I could never fathom why it was always more important to defame each other’s character than to really tackle the improvements America desperately needs. Clinton claims to want what is best for America and claims to have all these plans to help bring about the changes needed. SO does Trump. So, who do you choose to vote for?

Well, let me ask you this. Who do you think can keep this country safe? Trump for all his posturing and lewd mouth has no political career whatsoever. He has horrible views about women. He seems to want to divide America by building a wall between us and Mexico. He wants a flat tax rate that would be harder on the poor. Despite the controversy surrounding “missing” emails, Clinton wants to regulate gun laws more closely. She wants to improve healthcare and rights for women. She wants to improve our infrastructure.

Okay, well, again, let me ask you who is more qualified. Trump or Clinton? Trump ran multi-million dollar corporations. Which several had failed. Clinton has had a long career in politics. Let’s not forget the controversies surrounding her time in her various political offices. From First Lady to Secretary of State. All of it is disgusting from both parties if you ask me. All of it. I have never felt so ashamed of my country and its leaders in all my life.

Neither deserve to be president. They don’t have the class that JFK had or the brains Reagan had. Even ol’ Bill wasn’t so bad. This, however, is a complete farce. Abraham Lincoln was third party. Let’s not forget that. Gary Johnson, folks. Gary Johnson. Change can happen if we stand together and tell Trump and Clinton we do not want any more bullshit fed to us. It isn’t ice cream and we do not like it. We aren’t stupid and we are sick of the posturing and the mud-slinging. We want real change. I don’t see how anyone could vote for either of these two candidates. They’re despicable.

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.
