fuck you bernie you pokemon go playing poser

PHILADELPHIA – Despite Hillary Clinton's best efforts, the first day of the Democratic National Convention was full of divisive boos, mixed emotions, and tensions with Bernie Sanders' delegates. But that changed for a brief moment, when an 11-year-old girl stepped onto the stage at the Wells Fargo Center with her mom to tell her powerful story.

Karla Ortiz was originally introduced to voters in a February campaign ad, "Brave," in which she told the candidate that she was afraid that her parents, undocumented immigrants, were going to be deported. "I'm going to do everything I can so you don't have to be scared," Clinton said in the ad, tearing up. "I'll do all the worrying, is that a deal?" The two then share a big hug.
On Monday night, Karla took the podium with her mother, Francesca. "I don't feel brave every day," she said. "On most days I'm scared… that at any moment my mom and my dad will be forced to leave. […] I want my parents to see me do science experiments and find my rare rocks in the desert. I want to grow up to be a lawyer so I can help other families."

"Soy Americana. I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada," Karla said to loud cheers. "[Hillary Clinton] wants me to have the worries of an 11-year-old, not the weight of the world on my shoulders."
The speech got a standing ovation in the arena, and a burst of support on social media. Looks like someone should start preparing her own campaign in a few decades.


idgi. Why is everyone clapping? The mom's an undocumented immigrant and the child is reading from a teleprompter, and then at the end they do half the speech in Spanish for the American presidential candidate.

And people are clapping? 
What are we clapping for? What are we supporting? Are we saying elect Hillary because if she does she'll open the borders? 

I'm not trying to throw an anti-immigration stance on this because I'm not anti-immigrant, but this just feels like a flagrant something and I'm not sure why people are clapping.

And what about the important questions? 
Her mom's undocumented - does she have a job? Is she working at all? Who's paying her rent? 
Are they on government assistance?
If Hillary is elected president will they get more government assistance? 

You can't just say "Don't think about anything hard and elect me president so I can do it for you." 

WHY ARE PEOPLE CLAPPING

I fucking hate my dad.

Today, my family and I went out to Longhorns for my 21st birthday. I hate Longhorns, steak isn't that great, the chicken tenders they have there are okay though. Really though i just hate going anywhere with my dad, he ruins everything. He always tries to fight with me over everything and he constantly puts down my mom and sister, he's just a piece of shit.

So we get to Longhorns and right off he starts up with being an ass. He keeps telling me to order a beer or a whisky drink, both of which I fucking hate, the taste of alcohol is just awful anyways. When the server gets to me to take our meal orders, I really wanted the chicken tenders with extra honey mustard, but when i told the server that my dad freaked the fuck out and started yelling at me, telling me he wasn't going to play for garbage and told me I had to get a steak. Meanwhile my mom and sister are sitting there really embarrassed, my mom tried to tell my dad to calm down but he just started screaming at her, just to shut him up and give my mom a break i ordered a steak, well done with ketchup on the side, and he gets all pissed off about it telling me I'm ruining it and that I was wasting his money. All of this is pretty typical when ever my dad goes out with us. I just fucking hate him, I wish it could just be my mom, my sister and me, he literally ruins everything. I fucking hate him. Then after the meal is done and the bill comes, he makes a big scene about not tipping the server. My whole birthday was fucking awful because of him.
