Trump's Apology Is Garbage

This is not about politics.

Trump's Apology Is Garbage
Business Insider

As I am sure you're aware, Donald Trump is currently grappling with the backlash of a leaked hot-mic video from 2005.

The fact that anyone who would ever say anything like that, regardless of when or where should be considered for the most powerful position in this country is beyond me, but let's take a look at his "apology."

To begin, his original apology excused his sexual assault condoning and confessing language as "locker room talk." He then went on to only apologize to "anyone who was offended."

HE IS NOT SORRY.

Anyone who apologizes for someone else being offended is not sorry for what they said or did. I cannot believe that has to be explained to anyone.

The reason his first apology was so offensively pathetic has to be due to the fact that no matter what he says, people are still choosing to vote for him! This has nothing to do with Hillary or even politics for that matter. He is a terrible human being and always has been. However, I am sure some brainwashed Trump Nut is raging behind the glow of their computer screen thinking, "But he re-apologized, so it's OK."

Why yes, yes he did. He used this opportunity to excuse this as "not an important issue" as if women being sexually assaulted by celebrities because they can, is not an issue. He used that opportunity to try to excuse his actions and words by stating that meeting "grieving mothers" on the campaign trail have changed him. He used this opportunity to say that his actions were not as bad a Bill and Hillary Clintons' like a thirteen-year-old trying to deflect the fact that they were caught with pot on their brother or by claiming that they drank the vodka and replaced it with water.

I refuse to accept the unsupported, fear-mongering claim that jobs are disappearing is more important than the safety and dignity of women.

I refuse to give a shit about how you think you are changed because you still say the same sexist, racist, and prejudiced bullshit. Moreover, why were you ever like that in 2005 anyway? That's not 1955, so there is no believable reason for thinking these remarks are even a little bit understandable. I mean, hell, if someone said that in 1955, they'd still be an asshole.

I refuse to accept your deflection on to the Clintons because I cannot stand any of you. We get it; you're all terrible, but you, you rotten excuse for a human being, are the worst of them all.

This is not a matter of politics. This is a matter of being a decent human. If you respect a single woman in your life, you will not vote for this pile of garbage. Don't even vote for Hillary if you hate her that much. I don't care. Write in Mickey Mouse, but whatever you do, do not allow this evil stupidity to be our legacy.

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.
