My thoughts on Trump

Check out my previous post about Why I don't like Politics. For more details!

What do I think about Trump?

If I had to say one thing about Trump, I would say that he is the embodiment of Hate, and Intolerance.
He does nothing but bash other people that are different than him, be it Mexicans, Muslims, the lgbt community.. etc.. Instead of saying that something bad happened, instead of blaming certain kinds of people, he blames an entire group of people. That is not right, not all Muslim people are bad, not all who study Islam are bad. Instead of targeting negative people of certain backgrounds, he groups them together, and spews his hateful words. This is not only, not cool, but also has a terrible backlash in the community. There were reports of American Muslim women being attacked, or yelled at with hateful messages, just because they were Muslim. Guess what, I worked with a Muslim woman for two months, and she was one of the nicest people I've ever met! [Source] [Source 2]. But Trump, likes to group people together, and run their name in the mud, why is that? Because he can, he is a hateful person, and hateful people should never run a country! It's not right, and it's not fair. A ruler of a country should love all of it's people, especially if they're different from them! There is a terrible mindset that many Americans, and Trump have. It is simply, if they do not agree, or find nothing similar with a person who is different from them, they hate. Not only do they hate, but they can become bullies, they can become violent. It isn't right to hate someone because they're different than you, but Trump and many of his supporters think that's okay....

What do I think about the election?

Well, I'm not a fan of either of them. But Hillary at-least respects people who are different. Trump, is on a super level of crazy. Apparently these two are the least liked presidential candidates of all time! I hope that somehow grandpa Bernie wins. Or Jill stein at-least, apparently she wants everyone to be vegan, but that's better than these two clowns.

Reasons why I do not like him, and reasons why he is very dangerous for not only for America, but the WORLD!

I'm absolutely terrified of Trump, especially if he is elected president, he hates gays and will do anything in his power to harm the LGBT community (Including myself). [I thought Mitt Romney was bad!] Despite his claims for attempting to care about LGBT individuals, he always says something else that contradicts himself. In short, he says he wants to help LGBT people, but in reality he doesn't, and just wants more votes from potentially gullible members of the LGBT community.

In fact, one minute he supports the LGBT community, and the next he says that he will REVERSE marriage equality, and that it will UNIFY AMERICA!! SERIOUSLY?! Source
Despite his so called "Support" for such LGBT individuals, he has stated that one of the first things he would do as president, is to pass a bill that will ALLOW LGBT people to be discriminated freely. This means LGBT can be discriminated when it comes to jobs, landlords, businesses and healthcare. As long as those companies feel, that homosexuality is against their religion! (Which is wrong, and bad for business!) Source
In other such news, there are people that Trump will elect that are VERY DANGEROUS for the LGBT Community. Such as William Pryor, who is hostile towards Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. Pryor believes that LGBT people are in the same boat as, "polygamy, incest, pedophilia, prostitution, and adultery.". He thinks gay people should be prosecuted as criminals, just for being with someone that they love! As such, if he is elected into Supreme court, he WILL make sure that gay people are criminalized for being with each other in their own homes! He will go to the lengths of even lesbians and gays in jail, for even being public about their sexuality!

He hates minorities and will do the same, he wants Mexicans and Muslims out of the country, even though many if not all, are in fact Americans!  My friend is Mexican and gay, and hes terrified of Trump. Like he will legit move to Canada if he has to.

Everyone talks about that wall, but in reality, it would never work. It'd be too much money, and guess what?  People can FLY over walls! Check out this video from Adam Ruins everything.

I really hope Trump does not win, he's a very scary person, and I don't think people realize that he is a very dangerous person. The next election makes me realize that hopefully we never get another person as terrible as trump. I was once told that I should have more views in politics aside from just equal rights, and although I do have some other views. I think that just feeling safe in your country is good enough! There are so many people in this world, that want to bludgeon or even kill gay people... (I'm literally terrified of telling people my sexuality, that's why I'm very secretive about it, because there are so many haters out there. And I don't want to get shot or stabbed out of the blue, just for my sexuality.. "See the story of Matthew Shepard") although if politics would keep me out of it, I actually wouldn't care!

America is a country that is a melting pot of different people, to deny someone a right to live here is wrong, especially with such principles. I do also understand having stricter policies.

Reasons why Trump does not deserve respect.

It's surprising to me that Trump has said some absurd things, that people still like him for!

* For a country that holds dearly to things that have happened in the past, it amazes me that no one seems to have a problem that Trump called 9/11, 7/11.. How is that not a problem?! You can't even get a terrible catastrophe correct! (Especially since he wants to ban Muslim immigrants from coming to America). I bet that people from other countries know more about America than he does!

* Trump thought it was funny to be disrespectful, and make fun of a disabled man who was conducting a speech.
How does anyone not see this as wrong? This is a terrible thing to do to anyone! Someone like that is not fit to run a country, a country leader should be loving to ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE! REGARDLESS!

* Some people want Trump to be president because...well.... he's a business man of course! Sure.. except for the fact that ALL OF HIS BUSINESSES FAILED! He'll run America into the dirt really quick if that happens! Source

* Many of the things Trump does, is similar to Hitler. Like Hitler, Trump is using Tyranny to control everyone, he's ruling people by fear. Check this article out. Source

* Trump is one of those people that thinks Vaccine's cause autism...Source

* He hates illegal immigrants, however his wife, keeps going to her home country to obtain visa's....

* Called Mexicans rapists

* Wants to ban an entire religion from the country.

* Has sexually assaulted numerous women, bragged about it and even said some women weren't attractive enough to assault.

* Thinks Global Warming is a hoax created by the Chinese.

* Hasn't paid his income taxes, and brags about it. (He wants to be the president, but doesn't even follow the rules?! Also, people whined about Obama's birth certificate. But the second Trump is asked about tax returns, conservatives throw a blind eye. Hypocrisy much! )

* Is going on trial for fraud in November.

* Acted like such a nut, that Britain was going to ban him from their country!

Mike Pence
Trump's running mate, is just as dangerous as Trump!
He is extremely homophobic, and once wrote an article telling employers not to hire gay people! He thinks being gay is nothing but a lifestyle, and that we carry diseases. As governor of Indiana, he signed a bill that allows employees and customers alike, to be discriminated for being gay. As well as taking away money for HIV treatment, and put the money towards a "Gay cure therapy" (Which entails of shocking a person with ELECTRICITY, until the "gay" is gone!) Source

Here are some pictures, credit to the authors!

Last but not least, check out this article on facebook! Article!

I would really hope that if Trump, actually does become president. That it's all some kind of joke and that he's the biggest troll and will actually turn out to be a decent person.. but the likelihood of that happening is very slim, he's a very dangerous person! The lives of minorities, including my self are at stake, and in danger!

Ayatsuri Sakon

Ayatsuri Sakon is an anime about a shy boy named Sakon, and his loudmouth puppet Ukon. Sakon travels around to train and enhance his skills of puppetry. But everywhere he goes, mysteries appear, and people get murdered! Sakon likes to solve mysteries on the side, and is often very good at them. On occasion, his detective aunt Kaoroku, or his photographer friend Zenkichi, join up with him to help.

 Sakon goes around solving murders, and making new friends along the way.

 Ayatsuri Sakon was a nice anime, I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but the anime really allows you to get attached to some of the characters (Most notably, the characters Sakon befriends.) I was really looking for a murder mystery, where you could actually figure out who was the killer.

(I had previously watched Neuro, and as much as I enjoyed it, I really wanted to watch an anime where you had a chance to figure out who the killer was. Where as in Neuro, the killer is like the only new character introduced, and they don't show what happened.)

 The anime has a nice calm feeling to it, the mysteries get very interesting, and some of the characters are very fun, and interesting! Overall I really liked it, and it's exactly what I was looking for.
 Slight spoiler, but it's not a spoiler kind of spoiler. But I was really glad to see all of the friends Sakon made in each mystery, come to see him perform in one of his plays!

Retail Stories: Why are people like this?

I've had some pretty gross customers when I was in retail, here is three stories about it. 

I do caution you, as these stories are pretty gross. So if you are the faint of heart, you may not want to read the following stories!

Crappy Clothing!

One time, an associate in the men's department found a pair of underwear. The underwear had feces on it, and this pair was hung up on the rack to put out on the floor. Apparently a customer decided to put on a new pair of underwear that he did not buy, and replaced it with his old poo stained undies!

On few occasions, similar stories like this seem to happen. Including a recent time, where an associate was going to buy a shirt and realized a brown spot on it. He decided against buying it for that reason, (Imagine the gif of Raven Simone from "That's so Raven" going "Ya nasty!".)

It's not CRAP, it's ART!!! No seriously, that's crap...

One of my previous supervisors, who was like another mother to me. Told me of a time, when she went to go to the bathroom. She noticed an elderly woman decided to intentionally smear feces all over the bathroom walls and floor. The supervisor told the woman that she can't do that, and she has to clean it up. The woman remarked that she was elderly! (Well then, you shouldn't have done that in the first place!) The woman cleaned it up, and my supervisor told the manager if that happens again she was walking out of the store!

Is this Lemonade??

Once upon a time in the land of the Home Department, it was the midst of August. (That would be a great beginning of a novel!) It was pretty hot outside that day. I was walking around the department, as per usual, and I spotted a mug! I was like, well Jiminy crickets, It's a mug in the wrong place! I picked it up to put it away. Little did I know, or realize, that someone (or something..) decided to pee in it. When I picked it up, and started turning around. The glorious smelly yellow liquid went everywhere, including the floor, my arm and my vest! (Keep in mind, I'm a big germaphobe...).
I threw paper towels everywhere on the floor, I put up wet floor signs and basically the area became a do not enter zone! (Which wasn't a problem for customers considering it was like the middle of the beginning of each aisle, so they just had to go the other way to enter that aisle.)
At the time, we had this rude security guard. For some reason, the manager got in trouble by the security for having the wet floor signs and the paper towels everywhere. As I was discussing with the security guard and the manager, a customer overheard me say that I thought it was pee. The security told the lady, that we didn't know for sure what it was. (I don't know why that was relevant or anything.). Later on, the lady in my department told me about how the smell was really Poignant, and very noticeable after a while. I did a quick fix, and took some of the air fresheners we were selling, and sprayed some of it in the area, and any scented sachets we had, I left around to kill the smell a bit.
Because I'm a germaphobe, I did not walk down that aisle for WEEKS. Even though it made no sense, since shoes are always going to be really dirty anyways....

Once I got home, I took a boiling hot shower for 20 minutes, remember this was a hot summers day in the midst August!

Retail Stories: She almost got arrested for this!

This is a few stories of people I worked with in Retail, who all got fired for stealing.

Side note: I have a draft page for all of my retail stories. I have so much written down, but I want to put them into groups and post them separately. This way, I have more posts, and so I don't bore someone with a long post. This is literally a part of what I categorized them as...

 (Names are changed for privacy reasons)

Mars Omar

¤ Omar was this nice older guy, who was probably around 50-60. He was the janitor at my store. Everyone liked him, he was friendly, cheery and an overall nice guy. I remember one time on my lunch break, he said he had grandchildren. Another time someone was reading a report about a child in the news, I don't remember if they were missing, kidnapped, killed.. .etc.. but he made a remark that he hates that had happened, and that he just loves kids! Years later, when I spoke to an associate about what happened with Omar. She mentioned that maybe he loved kids in a different way, however this is all to the unknown, and up for interpretation.

So one day I was asked to clean up a spill. The supervisor said that Omar wasn't around anymore, and that we'd have to clean up messes on our own from now on. I had no idea what had happened to him until some time later. Apparently they caught Omar, eating gummy bears that we sold out of a container, without actually buying them. The store manager didn't have a problem with this, until they found out that he was also stealing items from the warehouse sector in the back! He was stealing belts, I don't know if he stole anything else, but to steal belts is pretty strange! I remembered thinking, If I saw him again, I wouldn't talk to him, I have no sympathy for thieves!
According to someone else, he actually had a record of stealing things at previous jobs, but they hired him anyways!

What's funny is, they never hired another janitor again, they only had cleaning crews come in before the store opened.

Devon

¤ Devon was a nice dude that worked in the back room processing items (Putting tickets on items, hanging things up.. etc..) and I didn't really know him. But one day he came in the store to shop, and an associate asked him a question, he said that he didn't work there anymore. Much later, I heard that he was one of the various people that was fired for stealing!
My friend Latifah mentioned that on her orientation for the job, most of the people that were there, all got fired for stealing!

Evil Zurie

This is a gross dramatization of what she looked like.

¤  Evil Zurie, was this little old lady who was an accountant, and a cashier. She had to be at-least 70, maybe even 80. She was this yippy little jerk, who would complain about stupid things, like "folding the receipt paper the wrong way", because the ink might fade. Instead of being nice about it, she would be annoying, and rude about it, and lecture you for all eternity. She was like a rude, yappy dog that never shut up.

Turns out, she was fired and almost arrested. Apparently, in the 5 years she was there, she stole 5000 dollars from the safe! She blamed the other accountant, and one of the managers for money missing in the safe. Once again, they already knew she had a record of stealing things, but still hired this psycho anyways!!
One day, the manager was driving me home. This manager is the same one Zurie accused of stealing from the safe. I told her that I was glad Zurie was gone, as she wasn't very nice.  I remember the manager saying I wouldn't have to worry about her anymore! "You ain't never lie!".

Retail Stories: This is why I don't like people...

Today's post will be about rude customers back when I first started retail! This was the beginning of my customer service experience, where I started to realize that people are nothing but a bag of dicks, and that humans are garbage, and belong in the dumpster.

What can I say, retail changes you!
 I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not.

¤ These people can never shine bright like a diamond, but they can be as dark as a black hole instead! (Aren't black holes actually orange? idk, not the point!) ¤

"Some People Are Just Stupid!"

○ (My store was opening in a new location, so I was hired alongside a bunch of newbies to open the store)
Back when the store first opened, we had a return line and purchase line that were right next to each other. (Eventually, they just made everything for one line). I was on register, and a woman asked me where the purchase line was. I pointed to where the line was, and so she went AROUND the entire line, instead of walking a few steps over. She proceeded to get mad at me, because she wound up in the same place, but on the other side.  She decided she would go to the cashier next to me and say to the cashier, "Some people are just stupid!". I merely showed her where the line was, she could have went the easy way, and walked a few steps over to the correct line. Like I didn't tell her where to go, I just showed her where the line was. But somehow that was my fault, and I was stupid for it. I always remember this jerk, and it aggravates me. How can people be so dumb, and rude at the same time.
The other cashier rung the lady up rather quickly, so she could get this miserable bag of sticks out of the store.

Terrible Personalities

 When the store I work at first opened, I was a greeter for three weeks. Below are two short stories that happened to me.

○ Customer: *Looks around* This is a s#itty store! I feel bad for you!
I said: I like it?

("I wanted to say, at-least it doesn't have a s#itty personality like you!" Not like they were ever coming back!)

Lazy People!!!!!!1!!!!!]!!!!111

When the store first opened, the carts would lock up at the doors. (They keep changing the rules, sometimes they want them to lock up, sometimes they don't. Corporate can be fickle.)

○ A customer was angry that the carts don't go out made a rude comment saying that they don't go out because we "The associates" are lazy!

Which was not true, in fact. There was a shopping cart that caused a car accident, and the store got sued for lot's of money (I believe it was 30,000 dollars, but I'm not 100% sure.). That's why the carts didn't go out. I once told this to another person complaining about the carts, and she still thought the carts should go out...
Eventually corporate changed the idea and let the carts go out. Which is funny because that means they wasted their money on buying the devices to lock the carts.

The thing is, there is no cart person, so someone from whichever department will be asked to take time from what they're doing, to wrangle up all of the carts. The carts not going outside was great because we just didn't have to worry about the carts being littered in the parking lot. Also, now the carts disappear, and get damaged, they aren't cheap, that's for sure. One shopping cart sells for about 150$ USD. For ONE.

As of 2019, they have since brought back the carts locking up!
