Trump’s Excesses Exhaust, but Those That Made Us Feel Complacent Have Proven Far Worse
Donald Trump has been President for three years now, and I so want a new one. I am certainly not alone, and the multitudes can list the reasons ad infinitum. I’m with them. But I have one very selfish reason that elevates above all others. I’m exhausted and need a break.

Are We Getting Our Money’s Worth Amusing Trump?
In the modern era, all presidents have taken vacations and weekend trips to escape the stress of the job. FDR frequented a spa in Georgia; Truman returned to Missouri; Eisenhower visited Fraser, Colorado; JFK returned to his home in Hyannis Port; Reagan frequented his ranch in California; Carter went home to Plains, Georgia; G.W. Bush frequented his ranch in Texas; and Obama Christmased Hawaii, where he was actually born. No president in history, however, has spent as much time and money on “relaxation” as the current occupant of the White House, Donald J. Trump.

In UnAmerica
As I sit here and read a New York Times article about President Donald Trump, I can't help but imagine an old lady propped up at a dark smokey lounge near an airport somewhere slurping her third gin and tonic blaspheming about her ex husband. A shadow of her former self, precisely deploying the most spiteful insults and sentiment all the while knowing she had a much different opinion of said "bastard" at a different point in time and despite her level of intoxication the articulation and mutilation of said reputation of the ex was flawless and concise with the intent to destroy satisfied for now.

10 Reasons Why the Trump Presidency Will End Soon
Throughout history, world empires have ended rather abruptly. The Babylonian Empire was destroyed when the Medes and the Persians diverted the Euphrates River. As a result, the Babylonians were no longer defended by the river. The Persian Empire was demolished by Alexander the Great in 331 BC even though the Persian army outnumbered the Greeks almost at a 6 to 1 ratio. After Alexander the Great suddenly died nine years later, the Greek Empire was split up into four different regions.

Touchback
Donald J. Trump is either loved by many, or hated by most. On one side, he is an evil, male chauvinist that is racist to the marrow of the bone. On the other side, he is a breath of fresh, God-believing, Christian evangelical that will bring moral stability, true equality, and a stronger foreign policy and diplomacy. So which is it? The "left" hand or the "right" hand.

A Letter to a Divided Nation
To The Republic, What keeps this administration up at night are the poor and downtrodden in America, those souls who long to be free from their impoverishment. What keeps this administration up at night are the African Americans who have never been able to enjoy the full rights and privileges of a nation that still only sees them as being half free. What keeps this administration up at night are the Latinos and Latinas in who live in fear of being rounded up and having their government kidnap their children. For if their children are to be kidnapped, they will surely be treated with cruelty and violence.

#RESIST and the Splintering of Political Culture
Introduction Donald Trump’s populist rhetoric has spurred a counter movement: the #resist movement. This response is unique in that it is outright aided by major media outlets internationally, as opposed to a grassroots movement localized within the United States. To understand the #resist movement, it is critical to first introduce Trump and provide a brief history of his election. The #resist movement's success originated with corporate activism and private enterprises which, with aid from oppositional media outlets, celebrities, and brands contributed to future polarizing the political atmosphere. These events have led to further radicalization not just on the left within the #resist movement, but also on the right. Lastly, this essay will discuss how the heated and divisive nature of politics may create an environment conducive to second term for Trump by splintering and weakening the liberal vote.

Donald Trump Blasts Bette Midler
One of the hardest things in the world to do when you've been shown to be wrong is to apologize, but after wrongfully attributing a quote to President Donald Trump, Bette Midler did exactly that. Not only did she apologize, she posted the source information which proved her information that she originally posted was wrong.

Words to Donald Trump
Dear Donald Trump, How does it feel knowing that you are contributing to women not feeling certain about themselves? With your history, you've encouraged men who only see women as objects to push their ideals onto women, and themselves in women, without feeling it is necessary to get a genuine "yes" out of them first. What will be the point of women having brains of their own if your mindsets will keep them from being taken seriously, as they venture off into career paths of their choice? From the sound of it, you crave for the days where women can't get writing published unless they had male pen names, as well as believe that their potential isn't enough for them, but more than enough for a man. Do you think things will be better for everyone working if in an act of malicious compliance, all women stopped their jobs, and left the extra hassle for the men to deal with?

Why Donald Trump Hates Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk
Really? Do you take us all for fools? Like we can't see that you and your pals are just so heavily invested in oil up to your eyelids that the last thing you want is for electric cars to make it here in the "United States?" United is the furthest thing from your mind. You wanted that title for one reason, and one reason only. MONEY. Did you not get enough hugs as a child? Was it that your family came from poverty and you decided once and for all that you were absolutely never going to live that way ever again? OR was it that POWER and CONTROL that you felt when you started succeeding after someone in your family, most likely your father, called you a failure for not being worth a f*ck?
