Should a Constitutionally Illegitimate Presidency be Annulled?

Reading Time: 4 minutes What the founders didn’t consider was the possibility that someone could move into the White House fraudulently. While impeachment would address Trumps High Crimes and Misdemeanors, possibly even including treason, it is not broad enough in its remedies to address the acts of an illegitimate presidency.

If the Special Councils report shows that Donald J. Trump conspired with a hostile foreign power to rig an illegitimate election, neither impeachment or prosecution goes far enough because the Trump presidency itself would be illegitimate, therefore all acts under his administration including appointments would also be illegitimate.

Movie Review: I saw Vice and it reminded me why I want to move to Mexico

Reading Time: 4 minutes Almost all the political junkies out there have already seen Vice. So, if you haven’t gone, it can most certainly wait until it comes out on video. This is not a movie with the kind of big-screen special effects you need to see in the theater. However, when it does come out on video, I recommend seeing it because this movie reminds us how quickly things become history and how long history can haunt us by changing the course of a nation and impacting literally more lives than we can count.

Ten Things Healthy Men Look for in a Woman

Reading Time: 8 minutes Women often mistakenly take their cues from advertising and media when they are trying to figure out what a man wants in a woman. And making that mistake can lend itself to some painful and costly outcomes. What I’ve learned from working with men over the years is there are more good guys out there than most women tend to believe. The assholes and takers get a lot of airtime and take up a lot of our attention. However, at the end of the day, most men are fundamentally good at heart and want to do what’s right by the women they love. 

Here are ten things I’ve learned about men, love, and romance after more than a decade of talking to men about women:

What Does the San Ysidro Border Closure Have To Do With Ukraine? More Than You Might Think.

Reading Time: 4 minutes On a day when the Russian Navy maneuvered one of the most hostile and aggressive acts against another nation in modern naval history, the U.S. stood down, silent, while our President took over the news cycle by shutting down a border and ordering our thousands of troops there to engage with tear gas fired on civilians.

And this is why it’s one of those moments in the history of this presidency where the word on precedented is just not enough. It’s a moment we are reminded our President is a puppet of a hostile foreign power and it’s coming just as the world is holding its breath for the Special Council investigation to shine a light on how that hostile foreign power bought and paid for an asset in the White House.

The Very True Story About that One Time I Caused My Puppy an Eating Disorder

Reading Time: 5 minutes The most subversive act of feminine revolution you can do is learn to love your body the way she is right now. Multibillion-dollar industries are built so predators can profit off of our self-loathing. There are better things we could be spending our money and our energy on that body shame and self-loathing.

When you commit to never saying things to yourself about your own body you wouldn’t say to your best friend, you change your relationship with your body in a powerful way – that is of course unless you would call your bestie fat, in which case you aren’t a very good best friend. And I’m going to let you in on a little secret. You can’t hate your body enough to make her thin – that’s not the way the system works. In fact, body shame will quite likely yield the opposite result.

Confessions of a Drama Addict

Reading Time: 3 minutes Drama is a compelling force. Have you ever noticed that? Drama quite literally provides a little jolt of feel-good. It’s a dirty kind of feel good, but it’s energy all the same. Drama creates an adrenaline rush and that’s a little boost, like a hit of a drug. The problem is, that hit comes at a price. Adrenaline energy isn’t real, it’s literally chemical, and when your brain delivers it, it’s robbing your body from someplace else to fuel it. So, to break it down, drama is addictive because it causes an adrenaline rush. You quite literally get energy from drama. However, that adrenaline robs your body of energy and robs you of happiness.

You Might Have Missed It, but Our President Publicly and Proudly Announced He Is a Racist and It’s Not Ok.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Make no mistake, Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he proudly proclaimed his Nationalist identity. He chose his time with a precise calculation and laid public claim to that title for a purpose. It’s not a dog whistle when you scream it into a mic surrounded by the likes of racists Trump keeps company with. 

This is not normal.

In a week when the news cycle is dominated by a President threatening a nuclear arms race and multiple pipe bombs in the mail, the fact that our president publicly declared his racist attitudes might feel like a footnote. 

It’s not.
