This week in Twitter hashtags...

I had some more fun with trending hashtags on Twitter this past week. Here are my posts, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be read here -

1) 9/11: 2,974 deaths via terrorism, $4.79 trillion spent on defense in response

'02-'16: 485,427 deaths via guns, still waiting for sufficient action

It's time politicians learn a thing or two from our students & choose children's safety over money/guns.

2) Dear GOP:

These students have no ties to lobbyists like the NRA. All they want is safety. So you have to decide, what's more important, money or kids? The choice is yours, but if you choose the former, don't ever think about calling yourselves "pro-life."

3) 17 are shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida
Students: "We're going to walk out to protest gun violence!"
Schools: "If you do that, we'll suspend you!"
Tell that to the 17 victims who wish they had only been suspended...

4) Ever since Trump said there was no chaos in the White House:
- Kellyanne Conway violates the Hatch Act twice
- Gary Cohn resigns
- A porn star sues him

5) It's ironic that those who have been calling out a war on Christmas are constantly defending a man that's cheated on all three wives, is a chronic liar, has sexually violated at least 19 women, and is in a legal battle against a porn star named Stormy.

6) Trump: "I keep businesses great. Just look at all my bankruptcies. I keep marriages & families great. Stormy Daniels can prove that. I'm gonna keep America great, believe me!"

7) Hey GOPers, I have a simple equation for you:
GOP + NRA = No longer holding a job come November.

8) Trump: "I just fired a guy! This is a great day for democracy!"

Yes, it appears the president doesn't know what "democracy" is. Then again, he did lose the popular vote by 3 million...

9) It sure was nice when we didn't have to worry about the president getting sued by porn stars named after weather patterns, wasn't it?

10) Trump: "I inherited an 8-year disaster from loser Obama. That's why I said make America great again. Then it only took me a year of tweeting, golfing, and watching 'Fox & Friends' to do that, folks. So yeah, keep America great again or whatever."

11) Gun arguments I've heard today
#4: "What will gun laws do? Stricter gun laws may stop some shootings, but what about the other ones?"

You answered your own question. "Stricter gun laws may stop some shootings." Thanks for playing. Next?

12) Gun arguments I've heard today
#1 "It does no good to take guns away from law-abiding citizens."

Well, duh. We're not going to take a car away from someone with a perfect driving record over a guy who drives drunk in his sleep.

13) Dear Trumpsters:

Continually dropping giant cannonballs on a new car until it becomes non-functional doesn't prove it never functioned or wouldn't continue to function had you not continually dropped giant cannonballs on it.

14) Summing up Trump's affair:
DD and PP sittin' in a tree,
C-o-v-f-e-f-i-n-g,
First comes silence;
Then come lawsuits;
Then there's Donny in an orange jumpsuit.

15) Stahl: "How do you think we make our schools safer?"

DeVos: "Give all our teachers rocket launchers; make them graduate med school; get proper firefighting training; but still not pay them much."

#2: "No matter what gun laws get passed, criminals are gonna get their hands on them & commit crimes."

With that logic, what's the point of laws? Everything should be legal! Rodney Dangerfield, take it away...

17) Have you heard the one about the porn star named Stormy suing the president? Oh, I'm being told that's true...

18) Trump appears to have reversed his campaign slogans. For 2016, he should have said, "Keep America great!" Thanks, Obama! After four years of having him in office, it'd then make sense for him to say, "Make America great again."

19) Trump: "I banged & am getting sued by a porn star named Stormy. I helped Russia destroy our country. I hired & fired the best people. I tweeted covfefe. I made America great again. Now let's keep it great."

Okay. Then I'm assuming you'd be perfectly fine going on the road surrounded by blind drivers whom were just released from the loony bin...

23) If the US were an NFL team
Obama
Year 1: 4-12
Year 8: 12-4
Trump: "This team is a disaster. Make this team great again."

Trump
Year 1: 9-7
"Let's keep this team great!"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
