Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to week one of the Trump administration! Ever since the inauguration and its tragically small turnout, our good president has been so kind as to allow us all to actually live out the bestselling story The Hunger Games. Each day we grow closer and closer to entering that post-apocalyptic world we've come to know and love. With all these signs, it’s only a matter of time before we are duking it out in the arena to bring glory to our district. May the odds be ever in your favor.

A strange woman keeps trying to convince us that everything is fine

Those who talk too much are silenced by a gag order

But there are creative ways around it

If you report anything he doesn’t like, you’re gone

Luxuries like clean water are reserved for the wealthy Capitol

No luck if you’re from the outer districts.

Better put in some extra hours in the mine, since you probably lost your healthcare

Our alternative option wasn’t perfect and was certainly questionable

But probably the better of the two.

The environment is no concern anymore

But who needs science, right?

In fact, only the top 1% matters now

But somewhere out there, there’s a young girl who will refuse to stand for injustice

And she’s not alone.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
