Someone Just Out-Trumped The Donald

And his name is Gary Johnson.

Someone Just Out-Trumped The Donald
Gary Johnson 2016

Many Americans are currently facing the same dilemma when it comes to picking a president this November: they absolutely despise Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is doing everything she possibly can to make us second guess casting a ballot for her. At times it feels like this election has become a fight between two 10-year-old children with our primary presidential candidates engaging in things like personal insults, immature nicknames and twitter fights. Clinton does her best to stay at least somewhat respectable but Trump parades himself around being as unintelligent and offensive as he can to gain attention and somehow this has won him the Republican nomination for President.

Trump has infuriated America with his willingness to offend any single group of people if it can get him just a little more T.V. time. He also is making a name for himself throwing out personal insults to his challengers, Republicans and Democrats alike. Who can forget the interactions with Jeb Bush early in the primary debate season when it looked at times like Trump was going to make Bush cry by calling him "low-energy" and "boring".

Along with verbal insults Trump, for some reason, gives all of his challengers nicknames like "Crooked Hillary" and "Lyin' Ted Cruz" as if the majority of the voting public are 5-year-olds only interested in adjectives in front of names. At first I agreed with most of the candidates responses to these tactics which was generally not commenting or choosing to take the high road. But what did that get us? One Republican candidate left in the race...at that is Donald Trump.

So today is the day I say enough with the high road, enough with watching your words and enough with letting Donald Trump add to his already unfathomably large ego by everybody walking on eggshells anytime they're asked to comment on him.

I want someone to beat Trump at his own game of insults and trash-talk, regardless of whether or not they win the election. Obviously Hillary Clinton is too concerned with becoming President and completing the career grand-slam of politics so I'll leave it up to my new favorite person: Gary Johnson.

In a Libertarian debate in March, Johnson referenced the 2012 election and how the Libertarian nominee has a real chance if people just have the opportunity to hear what they have to say (i.e. allowing them on the debate stage with the two main parties). Then, beauty ensued as Johnson said this-“If Donald Trump’s the nominee and Hillary’s the nominee, if that isn’t an opportunity for the Libertarian Party, I don’t know what is...and Donald? I’ve climbed the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each continent—Donald Trump’s a p**sy”.

Johnson is the Libertarian nominee for President and probably one of the biggest badasses I've come across in a while. He is a regular marathon runner, triathlon competitor, and mountain biker. The former New Mexico Governor has even climbed the 7 summits: the highest mountain on each continent. This is all in addition to being the CEO of Cannabis Sativa, Incorporated. Or, for those of us not familiar with those terms, Gary Johnson runs a pot company. And, enouragingly enough, Johnson is actually gaining traction in the national polls with the latest putting him at 10% against Trump and Clinton.

It was like heaven on Earth. God blessed us with someone to finally man up and call Donald Trump exactly what he is. Better yet? When asked to further on his comments Johnson responded with this. Enjoy:


So, as Trump will undoubtedly respond with some stupid tweet and give Johnson one of his childish nicknames, we can all rest easy knowing there's someone out there who is willing to "call it how it as" as Trump likes to say.

Donald Trump, you my friend are a p**sy. The ball's in your court.

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.
