The FBI.

My job. SHIT! WAS I NOT SUPPOSED TO REVEAL THAT?

*double checks*

Thank God. That’s the CIA’s department to deal with.

This past week, President Trump fired the director of the FBI, James Comey. Comey, who had been leading the investigation into the Trump campaign and alleged ties to Russians that may have helped Trump win the Presidency last November. Here was just a little snippet of what we heard:

It’s true. Comey, the only reliable person we could rely on for any objectivity in the testimony to the Trump-Russia campaign scandal, was “unexpectedly” terminated. The only person who believes that this was “unexpectedly” fired was Comey himself:

Yes, Director Comey found out he had been fired via televisions in the background informing him of his termination. And Trump had his own henchmen hand-deliver the termination letter to Comey. The FBI director thought it was a prank! It’s like he expected Ashton Kutcher and the cameras to pop out from underneath the desks to tell him that he had been Punk’d!

All of this has some very dubious timing to it; Jim Comey had asked for more resources to aid him in the investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion case. Trump clearly had to have some inkling that Comey was getting close to sealing the deal with the investigation. He had to have some excuse to rid himself of some Comey. Why was he terminated, Ron Rosenstein?

Because of the mishandling of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. Yes, the same group of men who were in lockstep with Trump chanting ‘Lock Her Up!” fired the head of the FBI. The “my dog ate my homework” excuse thinks that’s the silliest thing ever. You guys are not fooling anybody.

The coverage of Comey’s termination was wall-to-wall on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and all major news outlets. Incidentally, it just so happened to fall within the same week that Russian ambassadors visited the White House.

Yes, Russian Ambassadors in the most powerful office of the free world with the guy who is under investigation from Russia. That’s got to be the most ironic thing one could drum up. I am including United Airlines sponsoring a World Day of Peace. The United Airlines public relations department and Trump incidentally show the same amount of self-awareness.

And, no, Comey didn’t have to fly commercial on United. He got a parting gift:

Hey, at least he wasn’t coerced into taking another Trump-loving entity, Uber. And, what preceded that coverage?

The last time traffic on an LA freeway was broadcast with police and an SUV, O.J. and friend Ron Goldman decided to go on a ‘leisurely stroll’ through Los Angeles on a Friday evening in June of 1994 that apparently required the use of the entire LAPD as ‘protection.’

That evening was, however, not included in this week's edition of "Violating the Constitution: WTF Is It This Time?"

Moving on…

SHADE, SHADE, SHADE! SHADE ON YOU!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
