These kinds of responses are my FAVORITE. Some examples to answers to this question I have heard:
1.
“Okay, and who’s the president?”
“Obama, no wait, shit *vehemently* fuck, I hate him… what’s his name…”
“It’s okay, you know who he is.”
2.
“Who’s the president?”
“*drunkenly angry and confused* ..uhhhhhhh…Orange… damn it what’s the fuck’s name….
“Yup, good enough.”
3.
“And who’s the president,”
“Not fuckin’ Obama!”
“I feel ya.”
4.
“Who’s the president- wait, nevermind you’re from Korea you said, right? So who’s-“
“Everybody knows that Trump-bitch.”
“Oh, well, alright then.”
5. (My personal favorite)
“Who’s the president?”
“Ew.”
“Good enough.”
My roommate is a neurologist and has to do this check all the time. Her all-time favorite so far has been “ay dios mio” during which the woman was vigorously crossing herself.
The upcoming midterm elections are poised to be incredibly important for the future of our country. You need to vote in them–the primaries and the general.
Are you registered to vote? If you think you are, take a moment to check your registration well ahead of voting day. Make sure you know your voting dates, polling place, how to get an absentee ballot if you need one, and any ID requirements.
If you aren’t, register right now! Many states require registration before a deadline some time in advance of voting day, so don’t wait.
(Vote.org is reputable, but if you don’t want to use them, just Google “[state] voter registration” for information.)
And I don’t want to get too partisan on this post, but… if you have any reservations about voting for a “lesser evil,” get over them now. Our voting system requires strategic voting, and that sucks, but since it’s true, vote strategically! Vote your heart in the primaries, but in the general, vote for the lesser evil. It’s a hell of a lot better than sitting on the sidelines patting yourself on the back for purity while the greater evil wins.
California! Voter registration deadline for the primaries is MAY 21ST 2018. Get registered!
We all have a lot of local elections happening in 2018. Let’s clean house, folks.
Please please please share! This is a legit account and this guy’s fb is linked from his site at http://chrisforgov.com/
He’s deleted all these comments! Don’t let him get away with this. Keep his name on blast and make people aware
OKAY ACTUALLY I WENT TO THIS GUYS FB PAGE AND HES TERRIBLE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. It honestly looks like a parody account but?? I don’t think it is?
It’s not. Locals say he regularly outs anyone who speaks up against him and pulls their entire background and then sues people. He also runs a company where he regularly sabotages other businesses. He’s a disgusting piece of trash
More from Chris
pls boost this piece of shit and make his life hell
DO NOT LET THIS SHITSTAIN EVEN THINK HE CAN BECOME A GOVORNER IN MY STATE I SWEAR TO GOD. WE LIVE IN THE SAME CITY. I WILL PERSONALLY PUNCH HIM IF I SEE HIM. IF HE THINKS MY BROTHER SHOULD DIE I’LL KILL HIM FIRST.
It’s not just that he’s dehumanizing them; it’s the context of him saying that, when you release them, they just come back. This sounds very much like the lead-up to a mass extermination.
Let me back up. If you were busy on Tuesday, you missed Some Shit™ going down. Michael Avenatti, Stormy
Daniels’s lawyer, actually knows how to lawyer. He pulled on the thread
of the LLC that was used to pay her off and unraveled a whole flying
carpet of Russian donations and US corporate bribery to the same account.
– okay, so the best part of this is that Robert Mueller absolutely, without question, has whatever FinCEN has on Cohen, Trump, and the whole gang. He has more than Avenatti does, and he’s had it for months. A huge portion of his team are financial crimes experts. There’s no way FinCEN wasn’t one of their first stops. And it gives me great joy to picture their interaction:
Mueller, strolling into FinCEN with Starbucks: Hey, guys, how’s it going? Listen, do you have any SARs on… all these assholes?
FinCEN: Mmm-hmm.
Mueller: Yes. I will take all the deep fried goods involving these people.
FinCEN, snapping its collective gum: Yeah, lemme run you some copies. One sec.
So the next time the Trump administration keeps you up at night, I want you to close your eyes and envision the number of industrial-size toner cartridges that have given their lives in service to Mr. Mueller’s investigation. Look at the size of that pile. Just look at it. It’s so beautiful. I think of all those depleted black plastic cylinders, and I smile.
LOL, Avenatti is not quitting anytime soon.
Remember that wacky period before the inauguration when C-SPAN had cameras in the lobby of Trump Tower? Avenatti does.

Whoa.
History in the making
Huh, are you saying Trump has managed in a year and a half what the last 11(?) president have failed to do?
Well that’s fucking curious I don’t see his name on this. I don’t think it can be his result
My understanding was that US Foreign policy was something the Office of the President was responsible for setting out and achieving?
If that is correct this would be Trumps success unless this all secretly began under Obama?
This is not an American success. The Secretary of State was appointed either yesterday or the day before, the state department is in shambles. No reports indicate any major US officials being in the room. This is a Korean victory that is independent from the US, and is certainly not a Trump victory, who has done more to escalate tensions between the US and North Korea than the past four previous presidents.
Trump supporters hearing about foreign policy successes not made by the US:
If anything the us were trying to stop it
okay. alright. allow me to go all ‘international relations’ degree for a moment, if I may.
This is a decision that likely happened because ROK felt the US could no longer protect them from the DPRK. This is because Trump has no consistent Secretary of State, and while Tillerson was Not Great, Mike Pompeo is literally Satan, so. Negotiations with the DPRK have always been tri-lats with the US, ROK, and the DPRK, often involving another western power, and it is ALWAYS first and foremost about what the US can get out of it, how can we isolate the DPRK, how can we make them bow to what we want, which is nuclear disarmament. IDK if any of Y’all know realist theory, but that AINT GONNA HAPPEN, because the US doesn’t know how to MIND ITS OWN FUCKING BUSINESS, and has created a unipolar international system, with itself at the top. it’s why China freaks US policy makers right the fuck out. Any perceived threat is then blown WAY out of proportion.
Yeah, Bush called the DPRK part of the ‘axis of evil’ but that was more to use language to make the US population hate Iraq the same amount as the DPRK. it’s also a HUGE chip on the US’s shoulder that they were so fucking box kicked in the Korean War, which we shouldn’t have gotten involved in.
This decision and agreement between ROK and the DPRK is happening because Trump is So Shit at his job. He isn’t consistent, he has constantly removed us from international agreements that were designed to protect us and the other partners from international threats, we might be coming out of the Iran deal which Iran is following the rules of better than we are right now, and he doesn’t like NATO.
President Moon is looking at that, and like a SMART FUCKING PRESIDENT, is going ‘hmmmmm the protection we were supposed to have from the US could be instantly taken away from us if we anger this ignoramus who is the president, might want to try something else’ and so reached out to Kim. Kim probably is thinking ‘holy fuck, an actual international win, people will think about this, instead of the literally gulags i run’ and so is getting involved.
the US did LITERALLY NOTHING to facilitate this, and actually, in terms of foreign policy, is Not Great for the US, because we like to think we’re the international police force, and this effectively proves we are ‘weak’ (i personally fuckin disagree with that, but whatever).
This is fantastic, and is an incredible part of world history, but saying it’s a ‘win’ for the US is just fuckin stupid.
I’ve seen this map before and it always makes me so fucking mad.
So. Mad.
This is why America needs the national popular vote.
The electoral college is a disaster
nice to know my vote is worth less than a vote in the least populous state in the union despite living in the country’s most populous city
Yeah, living in Texas is fun. My vote counts literally less than any other state. (And, given the winner takes all system, and voting blue, my vote actually doesnt count at ALL. Yaaaaaaay)
^ Texas is turning purple fast though, so keep voting, because our population is getting younger, more educated, and less white and it’ll come quicker than you think (maybe even this year if we show up for Beto O’Rourke and kick out Ted Cruz).
Texas’s general population favored Obama at a +5%, but because of our strict voting laws and decreasing accessibility of the means to vote (fewer DMVs and voting places in black and Latino areas for instance) means our voting population was at a -9% on Obama (same % Clinton lost by too).
So don’t get discouraged, we can beat them if we actually show up!
