Dear Donald John Trump
In case you haven't noticed oh moron of morons, the words up there are in German. A language that you aren't willing to learn about from a country that you hate. But then again that's all you do because you are just that pathetic.
Johann HollarPublished 4 years ago in The SwampDo We Need The UN?
The United Nations is an organization that we’ve all heard of, and one which people seem to have very strong opinions about. But what’s less known is how the Institution actually operates and functions.
Nathalia RamosPublished 4 years ago in The Swamp- Second Place in Speak Up Challenge
to: Canada
Oh, hey Canada (citizens, government, all concerned with the wellbeing of this country)! I just wanted to send a quick email to make sure you saw my earlier email about you picking up the slack on this whole climate change thing? You know, the one where I stated it's absolutely ridiculous that I have to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on locally made and sourced zero waste products just so that I can do my part to help keep our planet clean? I just want to re-iterate that I am absolutely happy to have spent the money, especially locally, and especially because I, like, want a planet to live on, but don't you think more people might spend that money if it were incentivized? Like, you know, people collect and recycle their bottles for MONTHS to get $10, yet we have nothing in place for people to claim any of their expensive zero waste products for refunds? I know I've already stated this I just really wanted to make sure you saw the part where I had to pay $50 for dryer balls that keep waste out of our landfills instead of $5 for dryer sheets that can't even be recycled? You did? Okay cool just... just making sure. They're from BC. Very nice. Came in a cool compostable package. Okay write back soon.

2020 It is a melancholy object to those who walk through the streets of America when they see the state of things. Enormous houses, fit to house 10-20 souls, occupied by a single couple, the garage packed full of vehicles that utilize too much of our finite resources to build and maintain, and yet are never used. They are there for status and ornamentation only. The walls of these houses erected by laborers who are frequently underpaid, their unions having been dashed by the very politicians the residents of these monstrosities have bought and paid for. Diamonds mined by children in countries that the inhabitants of these houses can not pronounce the names of, nor point to on a map, adorn the limbs of these people. They think only of the weight of the stones, never of the blood spilled to obtain them.

How to See a Soul
Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, was a strange chap who was given to doing strange things. Born in 1194, he became Holy Roman Emperor (a very odd institution that was neither holy nor Roman, and hardly an empire either) in 1220. He was already the King of Sicily (since 1198) and King of Germany (since 1212). He would also gain the title of King of Jerusalem in 1225, as part of a deal to get him to go on a crusade to the Holy Land – he eventually set sail on the Sixth Crusade in 1228 but soon turned back on claiming to be unwell.

Christina St-JeanPublished 4 years ago in The SwampReparations
So im just now learning that alot of my experience in the world is based on the fact that my only career is getting my reparations back. Thats all it is. It doesnt matter what I eat for breakfast or how much money sallie mae owes me. Its not even about what amount of money I make because numbers go on forever. Its about whats owed to me and the fact that I no longer need to work in a chocolate factory to get my reparations. I love chocolate I really do. The thing is, im not even chocolate. Im butter pecan. My favorite ice cream changes all the time. Whats your favorite flavor of ice? Baskin Robbin? One of my favorite analogies is you can't compare me to any white experience. You can only give me my reparations. Because you are that generous. There is alot to discuss in terms of reparations because there is alot of people who are owed. I want to make a point to say that the value you are getting back from receiving your reparations is immense. More than your favorite favorite rappers influence. As a matter of fact, you are wealthier than your favorite rapper because you have your reparations. Theres alot to add to this discussion as well. Especially when it involves eating at your new favorite restaurant. I encourage all of you to listen to your gut and treat yourself. Go eat at California Pizza Kitchen. You will find alot of reparations there. I found some in my cup and in my pizza crust. What pizza place gives you reparation stuffed crust? We've all heard of crust with reparations so lets act like it. Stop putting cheese in crust and put reparations in the cheese grater. Theres alot involved and the process is very simple. There is no process.
