Trump got elected. The world must be stupid. Why? People saw him as a savior and a expect him to do wonderful things. I voted for him, I expected that he would break everything and bring us as a people to realize how stupid we are. I was wrong. I still see him breaking…
A brief recap for the disconnected souls out there. On June 12th, 2009, the country of Iran held their 10th democratic presidential election. The position of President in Iran is more of a figurehead due to the Supreme Leader who holds all the cards. On June 13th, protesters took to the streets combating the…
