Is there any silver lining to the 2016 election night results?
Donald Trump won’t be launching his own TV Network. We have a enough loony conspiracy theorist internet networks out there, we don't need Trump TV.Other silver linings I see are rather… speculative.Many answers basically assume Trump will fail, and this will be good a thing because it will make people vote Democrat.I think though, that actually even if Trump somehow does good in office, it could also be good for Democrats in the long run. At the moment Republicans have been moving further and further right.Trump is well… going to have to be centrist to succeed, and I suspect he knows it. He picked a radical as his VP yes, but he didn’t win the election because of that. Trump was carried by former Democrats, not by religious fundamentalists. In red states a significant proportion of the population voted third party.In Utah 23% of people voted third party. This is pretty much the only reason why Trump did not also win the popular vote.In the rust belt, while all other Republicans were saying “we need to repeal Obamacare” he wanted to “repeal and replace” it. What is he replacing it with? Well, as with most of his positions, we don’t quite know, but that position is certainly more centrist than the Republican Congress’s.I suspect Donald Trump knows he needs to be centrist. His entire cabinet is looking centrist. I mean, he has 3 blue state Republicans so far: Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, and Rudy Giuliani. Other than his VP, not a single evangelical fundamentalist is in his administration.If Donald Trump brings the Republican party to the left it will be a great service to the country. Even when Democrats control congress, suddenly they would have Republicans they could work with for once.Also Trump’s Supreme Court nominee….The silver lining is that Trump is replacing Justice Scalia, the most conservative Justice in US history. There is no way Trump could find a competent person with a law degree more conservative than Scalia.He isn’t replacing a liberal justice (at least not yet), but a conservative justice. In February 2017 the Supreme Court will be in the same position it was before, with the exact same number of conservative Justices, unless liberal Justices start dying.
What are some of the best examples of "beauty with brains"?
Akanksha Choudhary.She is a model who won miss India elite crown 2016. She is just 20 years old and soon will represent India internationally in beauty pageants.But here’s whats extremely exciting about her. Akanshka is a IIM- A student. She secured an admission in its flagship PGP program (which is probably the world’s toughest course to get selected into). She scored a 98.12 percentile in her CAT and has joined IIM-A for the 2017 -19 batch. She is also a alumni of the prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce in New Delhi where she secured 5th rank.And if all that was not enough, she became a model by fluke, yeah like just like that. Here’s what she has to say about it.After auditioning at a management institute, she was selected to contest in Miss India Elite, which she won last year. “I took part in the event just out of interest. I did not expect to win, let alone work as a model after that. Being a model has groomed me to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle and understand that the beauty lies in the values we inculcate in our lives. The rigorous routine of maintaining a healthy body and taking part in modelling events has even pushed me to manage my time wisely,” she said.Well it seems she wants to become a niche consultant (well I don’t even know what exactly that is) but I guess with that face no interviewer is going to turn her down.Yeah I know life is unfair!!ReferencesAn IIM-A Student And Beauty Pageant Winner, Akanksha Choudhary Will Represent India Globallyhttp://indianexpress.com/article/education/this-iim-ahmedabad-student-miss-india-elite-srcc-mba-akanksha-choudhary-is-a-beauty-pageant-winner-and-represent-india-internationally-4780213
My husband's second wife is living with us?
My husband promised that she would only be here for a month or two at the most but its been six months and she's still here! She is starting to get on my nerves. I gave him permission to remarry because I discovered that he had visited a strip club and I didn't want him to commit zina. He still has a lot of sexuaI passion and I've lost interest. The girl that he married is 19 years old and immigrated from Afghanistan as a refugee 3 years ago. He promised me that he would find her a new house. We own several properties and one is just 15 mins away from our house. I asked him to move her there but he says that she is too young to live on her own. She's naive and doens't speak good english but she's a married woman and needs to be more mature. Our children have moved out and have their own lives. I feel like I've become this girl's mother! My husband even said to me "Treat her as a daughter. She is a part of our lives now." He spends 4-5 nights a week in her room and I can hear them engaging in sexual intercourse. I realize its natural for a newly married couple to have sex but I don't want it happening in my house! What can I do about this situation? It is clearly his responsibility to provide separate living arrangements but it looks like this won't be happening for at least a few years. Am I being overly jealous or is he in the wrong?
