contestants for “parent of the year” in greek mythology

hera: threw her child off mountain because he was ugly

laius: left oedipus on a cliff because of a prophecy

chronus: enjoyed a nice baby bbq because of a prophecy

minos: wife became pregnant by a bull because he wouldn’t sacrifice the bull to poseidon like he was supposed to, later imprisoned bull-man child in a labyrinth

midas: loved gold so much that, when granted a wish for taking care of silenus, he asked dionysus for the ability to turn things to gold, accidentally turned daughter into gold

silenus: foster father of dionysus, was constantly drunk and one time just sort of drunkenly wandered away from dionysus, leading to the midas story

niobe: got pissed off that there was a big celebration for leto, bragged that she had a bunch more kids than leto, proceeded to get almost all of her children killed by artemis as a result

zeus: slept with basically every woman he ever came across, thus putting his 8000 resulting children in danger of being killed by hera. probably bad at paying the mounting child support bills for said 8000 children

Benjamin Franklin helped to create Impeachment Clause of US Constitution. He realized that if a president were to “render himself obnoxious,” then people would logically consider assassination unless there was a legal way to get rid of the president.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Just obnoxious. Not treasonous or acting outside of the best interests of the American people. Just really really fucking annoying.

[backofthebookshelf]

Ben Franklin understood people.

Ben Franklin knew Thomas Jefferson…

the fact that the Russian language doesn’t have articles makes me go ??????????????? because in a native English speaker’s head it sounds like a hilarious shitpost type thing

 so when you ask someone “Где водка?” it translates to “where is the vodka?”

 but in my horrible backwards english brain if I don’t see any articles I assume they aren’t there, so yelling “ГДЕ ВОДКА” translates to “WHERE VODKA” like some kind of drunken maniac who you definitely should not give vodka to

[leupagus]

Speaking as a Russian-American who speaks the language and knows a fair share of Russian-Russians, even if Russians did have articles they would still slam open the door yelling “WHERE VODKA” at all times.

Them: Donald Trump is actually a really good guy for refusing to take the president’s 400K salary. See he’s really not in it for himself or the money!

Reality: Because Melania and Barron Trump will remain in Manhattan and Donald Trump himself will be staying at Trump Tower as much as possible during his presidency, one floor of Trump Tower may be converted into a round-the-clock command post for the Secret Service. This safety precaution will cost the government roughly $1.5 million per year and the money will be pocketed by Donald Trump’s own company.

#this is not normal #you fucking nitwits#the president’s salary is to remind them#that they are a PUBLIC SERVANT#that they are paid to do a job not rule as king#that he’s doing this is spitting upon that very ideal#that is fucking baked into the concept of the presidency#you absolute fucking morons

It’s also literally something Hitler did.

“… it was clear that Hitler had little use for the modest salary of 45,000 Reichsmarks he earned as Reich Chancellor, or for the annual expense allowance of 18,000 Reichsmarks; early in his Chancellorship, therefore, he publicly renounced both salary and allowance in a propagandistic gesture designed to advertise the spirit of selfless dedication in which he ruled the country.” Richard Evans - The Third Reich in Power

dog: BARK

me (with the same tone and volume): WHAT

[kylesbogusjourney]

I have this really bad habit of sending two unrelated texts back to back but bridging them with an “also”

So it’ll be like “hey have you seen this funny tweet” quickly followed by “also the news said polio is back”
