2013 was five years ago let that sink in
It’s funny, when I think about this exact time last year. Things were so different. I never would have thought that things could change so much in only a year. I wonder what next October will be like.

the year is 2017. a ufo lands in your backyard. out steps a group of aliens.
you gasp. “are you here to find our leader and kill him??”
the alien in front seems alarmed. “no, no, we all come in peace, why would you-”
“oh.” you sigh dejectedly. “i just- we have a really bad president. like really evil bad, i just thought-” you start to tear up.
the alien places a hand on your shoulder. “hey now, it’s okay, maybe you can tell us all about him and we’ll- we’ll see what we can do.”
So this is 8 ½ minutes long but i guarantee you it’s the best 8 ½ minutes of TV you’ll see this week.
THIS IS SO WORTH IT. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS OMG
Have some faith in humanity!
Because sometimes we need reminded that there is still a lot of good in this world
this is the shit I need to see more often… sometimes we all need a reminder that there are good people in the world.
I really needed to see this today
Sometimes, you need to see that there are good humans in the world.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the meeting between Trump and Obama at the White House, and here’s the thing.
Obama used to be a law professor. This is key.
Law school is so, so different from college.
In college, everyone expects there to be a “syllabus day,” kind of a grace period where they can show up and get the lay of the land, figure out the bare minimum that they can get away with, the TA gives everyone their office hours, there’s an introductory lecture, and everybody leaves a few minutes early to go take a nap or something. You do the bullshit assignments, you say something in class now and then to get your participation check mark, and figure out how badly you can do on the final and still pass.
But see, in law school, all the methodologies you’ve spent the last 17 years operating under go out the window. Day one of law school is you being thrown into the deep end of the pool—you’ve had a homework assignment for two weeks now, and it’s to read the first 200 pages of your casebook. And now it’s you and the teacher (who is usually as smug as Alex Trebek) gauging and assessing what you managed to absorb while you skimmed through all those pages of reading so you could hurry up and get to the other 150 pages of reading for your next period class, in front of 50 people who are all smarter than you. And if you fuck up, or you didn’t do the reading, you are at the mercies of not just the professor, but the silent satisfied judgment of your peers.
Law school is hard, and it will make you feel stupid and tongue-tied and like you don’t know anything and can’t form an argument—because you don’t, and you can’t. Everybody there has had a 4.0 since birth. Everybody there was the smartest kid in their class, and you’re all rabidly competing for a sliver of a chance at something down the road. It’s petty, and savage, fiercely entrenched in a culture of formalities and ceremony, and exactly like Washington DC.
Yesterday when I was driving home, the NPR reporter talking about the Oval Office meeting mentioned that Trump had thought it was going to be a “getting to know you” type meeting, but that he was surprised when Obama stretched their talk out to 90 minutes before sending him along to the Capitol building where he met with congressional leaders for more lengthy meetings and stuff he didn’t want to do.
And he hasn’t even gotten to the actual job yet.
So think about that as we go into this.
Trump walked into the Oval Office like a two-pump-chump freshman thinking it was syllabus day, and what he got was the first day of law school, and he hadn’t done the reading like everyone else had, and Professor Obama decided to put him in the hot seat.
This was Obama’s chance for the most perfect revenge that would never be picked up on as revenge at all. He was gracious, polite—everything he needed to be for a peaceful transition and a good review from the press. And that would continue when the doors were closed, because that’s the key. Not a Come to Jesus meeting, oh no. If Obama were smart—and he is very smart—he would have treated Trump like an equal, and brought the discussion to a level that assumes far more of Trump than anyone has so far. Assumes that he’s an adult who’s been paying attention. Statistics, esoteric minutiae about the executive branch procedure, economic growth numbers, labor figures, domestic policies, countries Trump has never even heard of, shit that would never in a million years have been in Trump’s campaign soundbites or digestible summaries.
No way to escape. No aides to remember any of it for him. Just the two of them.
Because that’s what would strike a precise chill into Trump. The thundering realization that he’s woefully unprepared for the hard, boring, thankless reality of this, and Obama’s version of a smooth transition won’t and shouldn’t include remedial civics.
That’s what I saw when they shook hands and Trump stared at the floor instead of looking back into Obama’s face. He’s just figured out how little he knows about any of this.
And that should give you a small glow of satisfaction, because after those meetings, Trump definitely has the 1L Terror Shits. In January, the night sweats and insomnia will show up, but for these first few weeks—nothing but diarrhea and self-doubt.
My fucking god you guys, seriously nothing makes me happier than this. I think about this and it makes a warmth in my bitter little heart.
Because it is 1000% true.
I looked at those photos of Trump and Obama shaking hands and that’s exactly what I see there in his face, a kind of sinking realization of what exactly he’s gotten himself into.
Why did such a stupid chump ever think this was a job he even wanted? This is an asshole who’s had everything in his life handed to him. This is hard fucking work, did he think it was going to be golf and blowjobs 24/7 while he gives vague instructions to a secretary who runs off and does all the real work for him?
I can’t fucking wait to see more photos of his stupid chump face with that solemn expression of “wtf have i done” on it. I can’t wait to see him at the end of his four year term.
Never normalize Trump.
The media will try. Don’t allow it. He can never be treated like a normal president. We can’t let this ever be seen as acceptable, not for a minute.
Isn’t he going to trial for raping a 13 year old?
Not anymore. She dropped the charges b/c she was getting death threats.
He raped his first wife, then slapped her with a gagging order to keep her from talking about it after they were divorced.
He has appeared in a porn video - not participating, but as a spectator.
He has freely admitted to harassing and abusing women in the infamous P*ssygate video
He brought in illegal immigrant workers to work on his buildings for years.
He treats his non-white employees shoddily, especially the Latinx staff, and blocked their attempts to unionise
The Federal Government sued him for racial discrimination
He is suspected of human trafficking for his modelling agency
I’m sure there are plenty more stories, but to be quite frank, I feel sullied enough.
don’t let the media humanize a fascist, child rapist, racist, misogynistic piece of scum. don’t buy into their narrative.

This is a gorgeous post, everyone should reblog it to see the balancing side to the whole bad things happening in the world!
When a 10-year-old at a California school tried to talk to a new student who was sitting alone, she found he didn’t speak English- so she used Google Translate to write a note inviting him to sit with her at lunch. Despite the language barrier, they became great friends and even went trick-or-treating together. Source
