Russia Might Have Had A Hand In The Election Result

Russia Might Have Had A Hand In The Election Result

You might still have family members clinging to the idea that trumpy was the better choice out of the two back in November. “Our president elect isn’t racist- he just won the support of the literal 21st century Nazi movement and declared that Mexicans in America are rapists and murderers.” “He’s not sexist, he just openly admitted to sexually assaulting women while fighting against the claims from dozens of women who say that he sexually assaulted them.” “He’s not evil, he just wants to spark a genocide against Muslim people for having the audacity to exist and have what is essentially the same religion that most Americans have but under a different title.

Here’s another one your loved ones might have to come up with an excuse for. “No he totally won the election fair and square. He just failed to get the popular vote and the fascist government in Russia manipulated the election somewhat!”

US officials aren’t entire sure if we can say for sure what, if anything, Moscow did, but the CIA is pretty sure that they at least hacked some emails and shared them with Republican candidates. Naturally, the rest of the right wing is abuzz with the phrase, “nuh-uh” and the left wing really wants this to be true so we can maybe impeach our new orange president.

Like he does with every controversial thing that should have thrown him in prison or at least kicked him out of the race, trump says that anyone who doubts him must be stupid. Meanwhile, a full investigation is being launched before he can take office.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised. Russia did have one of Putin's friends threaten the US with nuclear war if we didn’t elect their best buddy trump. If your candidate is the most pitiful excuse for a politician you can find, your best bet is to bring out the nukes if he didn’t win.

If I were to make a guess, I doubt the outcome of the investigation will change much. The electoral college has already determined that all of the rape, fraud, and child molestation charges weren’t enough to persuade their vote, then I doubt treason will raise alarms for anyone else in the government.

If you’re still unsure as to why everyone is freaking out about the upcoming four years, this is why. In the process of two years, the man taking office has been found to have done and support a lot of horrific things. We have had a spike in hate crimes from the brilliant little snowflakes that voted for him. And no matter what crime the guy commits, he gets away with it and faces no consequences whatsoever. It’s not that Clinton lost. It’s that we are honestly looking at what is the failure of democracy and our government to take action.

We’re in danger and the only way that is going to change is if we take action and force our politicians to be held responsible for their actions.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
