The Model American

A fascinating profile of Melania Trump in the New Yorker. Lauren Collins writes:

Melania is the ultimate embodiment of Trump’s bargain with the American electorate. If the Obama promise was that he was you, the Trump promise is that you are him.

She concludes:

The Trumps’ marriage, in business terms, might be thought of as a limited partnership, with Donald as the managing partner. His woman view is his world view: no reciprocity, no exchange, a one-way flight.

Comedian In Chief

A hilarious speech from Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Great commentary from Vinson Cunningham on Obama and Wilmore whose speed was also fantastic.

Mad Kudos to Dana Bash

In last night’s debate, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Bernie Sanders to give a specific example of Wall Street donations has influenced Hillary Clinton’s political decisions and he could not named one. Then again, when Bash pushed Hillary to release her transcripts, she ducked with the same lame-ass excuse.

If she’s going to be a leader, why does she need others to do their part? Why can’t she just step up and release hers first? The transcripts must have things that she doesn’t want the voters to know. I am skeptical as well. If she is truly transparent and trustworthy, she should release them.

Clinton or Sanders?

Despite his sweeping win in Wisconsin, Bernie Sanders still needs 57% of the delegates to secure the nomination. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton only needs 33%. At this point I am still with Clinton, but I will support Sanders of he gets the Democratic nomination.

As much as I appreciate Sanders’ inspiring movement, his radical changes are still not realistic. Eight years ago, we witnessed the promise of change and hope from Obama. Even though he had accomplished a great deal in his two terms, he didn’t make the radical changes that he hoped he could. The President alone cannot do much as we already seen in the past six years. The Republicans in the House and Senate blocked every move the president made. Even Obama acknowledged that he had learned his lessoned. He cannot change Washington completely. He had to do it in a progressive approach.

If Sanders wins, he will be facing the same roadblocks. We will be disappointed once again that he won’t be able to carry out his agendas. I completely understand how the young voters are feeling now because I was in their shoes eight years ago. Learning from experience, I prefer a candidate that has realistic views. Clinton is not promising what she cannot deliver, which makes her less popular than Sanders, but she is more convincing on the issues that she would like to accomplish.

Once again, my choice is still Clinton, but if Bernie wins, I rather vote for him than Donald Trump or Ted Cruz—the two divisive and dangerous candidates.

Antonin Scalia School of Law

For $30 million, the George Mason School of Law is renamed after Antonin Scalia, one of the most backward-looking Justices in the U.S. Supreme Court, as Jeffey Toobin pointed out: “Antonin Scalia … devoted his professional life to making the United States a less fair, less tolerant, and less admirable democracy. Fortunately, he mostly failed.” Jedediah Purdy also stated: “If he had had his way, same-sex marriage would still be illegal in much of the country, key provisions of the Affordable Care Act would be discarded as unconstitutional, women would have no right to procure an abortion, and affirmative action would be effectively illegal.”

At the end of the day, I am just a tiny web developer trying to make ends meet for his family. When I go to work, I leave my political views outside the building. On the bright side, my employer didn’t name after Donald Trump.

Clinton’s Next Priority: VP Pick

After winning big victories last night, Hillary Clinton entertained her supports with references of hip-hop lyrics: “Whoever’s out of hand, I’ma give ’em handles / Light ’em up, blow ’em out like candles.” She used Jay-Z’s line, “I got 99 problems, being a bitch ain’t one, hit me.”

Clinton then thanked Bernie Sanders for his incredible campaign. She urged him to fight to the end to keep her from being bored and forgotten in the next few months. She will keep him entertained, but her next move is focusing on her Vice President.

Clinton told her supports that her running mate has to help her galvanize young voters and take on Wall Street. She said, “No other candidate can champion those two issues better than the senior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Ann Warren.” The crowd went wild chanting: “Woman Power.”

Make America White Again

If elected, President Donald Trump promises to make America white again. Here are his steps:

  1. Deport 11 million Mexicans.
  2. Get rid of all the Muslims.
  3. Punch Black people in the face if they protest. Same goes for Black Lives Matter.
  4. Throw Asians out if they don’t shut up.
  5. Appoint David Duke to serve as White House Chief of Staff.
  6. Change White House to White Supremacy House.

Clinton’s Meltdown

Immediately after the debate in Miami, Hillary Clinton told her chief of staff that she was irritated with the same questions over and over again. She said, “Enough with the fucking emails. Enough with the fucking transcripts.” She went on, “I have been fighting my ass off in politics for more than 25 years and they don’t fucking trust me?” She continued, “Why don’t they go run for something, then?”

Why GM Needed Clean Water

When being questioned about the reasons GM switched back to Detroit water, experts explains that the high levels of chloride in Flint water, not the lead, corroded the engines. GM engines were not built with a system to sustain chloride. On the other hand, chloride is good for cleaning up the human body. As for the lead, experts claimed that people can just urine them out. So if you drink more lead-based water, the faster the lead pass through your body.

A Black Votes Matter Member Forgives Clinton

When asked about Clinton’s use of the word ‘superpredators’ to describe black youth, a member of the Black Votes Matter responded, “It was twenty years ago and people had changed.” He continued, “It was a poor word choice on her part and she already apologized for it.” He went on, “If she used the word ‘nigger’ instead of ‘superpredators,’ then she should not have been forgiven.”
