Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Sounds Like Your Drunk Aunt

Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Sounds Like Your Drunk Aunt
PBS

Tuesday night, Sarah Palin once again entered the political ring to endorse Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy. The endorsement comes as a surprise to some, considering Palin held an integral role in helping Ted Cruz secure his current US Senate seat for the state of Texas in 2012. However, her 20-minute speech made it clear that she is certainly ready to “make America great again,” as she passionately (and at times only semi-coherently) covered topics such as military spending and immigration policy.

Unfortunately for the former VP candidate, the media response to her endorsement has been overwhelmingly negative, with many viewing her speech as more of a joke than a serious political move.

Of course, it is a bit difficult to blame people for not taking her endorsement seriously. Politics aside, her delivery was questionable at best. Comically aggressive, littered with alliteration, and sporting more filler words than a college freshman in Public Speaking 101, Palin’s speech raises more questions about her social competence than it does support for Trump's campaign.

So in the spirit of questionable social competence, here are some actual quotes from Palin’s endorsement speech that would also make sense in the context of your drunken Aunt Sarah ruining Thanksgiving dinner.

***

Aunt Sarah and her new husband made good time on their trip from Alaska and got to your house too early, so they had to wait outside in the cold for you to come home and unlock the door.

“It’s so great to be here in Iowa. We’re just here thawing out!”


Aunt Sarah walks in to help your mother with the food and sees your wine cabinet.

“This is gonna be so much fun.”


Aunt Sarah was kind enough to divulge personal details of her fourth husband while he watches football in the living room with your dad.

“He’s from the private sector, not a politician. Can I get a ‘hallelujah?’”


Aunt Sarah trying to prove she’s not that drunk.

“Like you all, I’m still standin’.”


Your mother makes a mean joke about Aunt Sarah’s three previous failed marriages.

“Well then… funny... haha... not… funny.”


Aunt Sarah does not appreciate you not helping to put away the dishes.

“No more pussyfootin' around!”


Aunt Sarah suggests what she and her fourth husband should inscribe on this year’s holiday card.

"Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religions, and our Constitution."


Aunt Sarah explains that the divorce attorneys have not been cooperative this time around.

“Ya know, they stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, just chill.”


Aunt Sarah reveals her new husband is a very passionate oral surgeon.

“We’re not gonna chill. In fact, it’s time to drill, baby, drill!”


Despite her antics, Aunt Sarah is surprisingly respectful of her Islamic neighbors and their spiritual and cultural practices.

“Like I said before, let them duke it out, and let Allah sort it out!”


Aunt Sarah knows her fourth husband is more than just his money.

“He’s a multi-billionaire. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But, it’s amazing. He is not elitist at all. Oh, I just hope you all get to know him more and more as a person and a family man, and what he’s been able to accomplish with his um- i- it’s kinda this quiet generosity. Yeah, maybe his- his ‘largesse’ kinda, I don’t know, some would say gets in the way of that quiet generosity and uh, his compassion, but if you know him as a person and you’ll get to know him more and more you’ll have even more respect, not just for his record of success, and the good intentions for America, but who he is as a person. He’s not an elitist.”


Finally, you know it’s time to wind down the night and take the half-empty bottle out of Aunt Sarah’s hand when she stands on your ottoman and tries to make political speeches while raising your cat over her head.

“God bless you, God bless the United States of America, and our next President of the United States: Donald J. Trump!!!”


All joking aside, it was a great night on Twitter, and a great night for new SNL source material.

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.
