You too can now enter the Hillary Clinton Green Screen Challenge!

Like Stephen Colbert before her, Hillary Clinton has called upon the internet to have fun with her campaign footage and just have wacky, zany fun with computer assisted imagery! You too can now place Hillary Clinton in front of any crowd, any setting and any scenery!

Do you want to see Hillary speaking at the Mos Eisley Cantina? You can make it happen! Do you want her to be addressing a crowd of Uruk Hai before the Battle of Helm’s Deep? Your dream can come true! Any possible situation is yours to make happen, provided you have the original green screen footage and technical know how to make it happen!

Once she makes the original footage available, it’s going to be a gonzo, fun time! The scenarios are going to be much more entertaining than her just addressing crowds of people that are reluctantly going to vote for her because they are too terrified of a Trump America. That’s no fun for anyone. Her speaking in front of a bunch of the seagulls from Finding Nemo that constantly repeat, “Mine!” is going to be the highlight of my day! I can’t wait to see what people come up with next! Heck, we could even see her in front of a crowd of people holding up Vote for Bernie or Trump/Pence signs! True hilarity, irony and comedy are all waiting on you!

The green screen footage of her addressing folks at  Coconut Creek, Florida is said to be coming out soon, so just hold on to your mice and get ready to do your best or worst! Let’s face it, though, we’d all rather be in front of a green screen than in Florida. Yeesh!

Who needs deplorables when you can have baskets of money as a politician?

Not everyone has heard of Scott Walker and his campaign scheme, so let’s break it down really quickly for you. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s 2012 recall election campaign was a dirty money funnel that had millions of dollars syphoned into a “dark money” group known as the Wisconsin Club for Growth. It was then found that Walker and his aides used Wisconsin Club for Growth to circumvent traditional campaign contribution limits and the state ban on political donations from corporations. It doesn’t sound anything out of the ordinary and is par for what you expect when it comes to money, corruption and the evil of politicians.

There is this new thing, however, where they are calling it “dark money.” And this, folks, is where we have a problem.

Oh, the days when we could see just one type of money, maybe referred to by the color green, and nothing more. Yes, sure, other parts of the world have very colorful bills and denominations, but the stereotypical thought is that money is green and it makes the world go round. Gold and silver may also be colors that are synonymous with money and wealth and are even held to high standards because of it. Gold, green and silver are all generally positively looked at in the color scheme. Green can be looked at favorably being the color of nature, plants and for those that care about the world around them. Silver and gold are often used to signify the greatness of something, being second and first best in anything, respectively. These are all positive traits associated with colors we all know and sometimes love.

Now, for the money that is certainly no different in color, but comes from tainted places, like the corrupt pockets of politicians that are illegally funded by high amounts of corporate donors, we call that “dark money.” I can’t be the only person to see how this is wrong. Too long have racial stigmas have been forced upon people of color, as racial barriers based on skin color have been placed time and time again on people who have done no wrong. Now money is getting this treatment as well? Obviously, the money has done no wrong, it’s the people controlling it that have been of nefarious intent.

Dark money does not exist. There is no difference in shade and half of the money transferred was done digitally. It’s been okay to hate on brown people so long that now we’re going attribute racial stereotypes to pieces of paper that don’t even have a real piece of gold or silver tied to any more? That’s just wrong and horrible.

We need to rise up against the oppressive forms of mainstream media that would coin such a phrase. Why can’t the politicians be called corrupt? Instead we say things like “mayor tied to dark money.” Why can’t it be “money tied to corrupt politicians?” The money has done no wrong and it certainly does not need to be racially profiled.

Let’s stop the hate towards money of color. This kind of thing has gone on too long and we’re shifting the blame away from the people who really deserve to be hated and reviled for their actions, like high-money, illegal corporate donors and those like Scott Walker that benefit from them.

Contrary to popular belief, the White House was not destroyed by alien invaders.

We’ve already told you that no one really knows who Mike Pence is and that his haircut gets more press than he does, and now it seems as though he has also taken notice. Trying to steal headlines, remain relevant and shock the public into finally recognizing a picture of him, or his name, Mike Pence is on the attack and saying some pretty crazy things.

After his remark that Hillary Clinton is not suited for the White House because she called racist voters “racists,” he now has started a campaign trail of other gems and nuggets of joy and wisdom.

“Democrats are bad people. They like cheese wheels, touching themselves and weird flavored sodas. Strawberry is not a standard soda flavor. That’s evil, disgusting and really damn weird.” This newest outburst by Mike Pence is not his first foray into saying just about anything to get some sort of reaction. Much like the taco truck fiasco, it backfired with people posting comments on twitter like, “mmm, cheese wheels” and “Don’t you wanna Fanta?”

Before this latest non-event, he also made a few other statements of ridiculousness:

  • “I prefer my toast to be butter side down, so it touches my tongue when I eat it.”
  • “Sure, black lives matter, but how about their deaths? Don’t their deaths matter even more?”
  • “Swedish fish aren’t fish, nor are they really from Sweden. Do we want that in our country? Those lies?”
  • “I stand by my decision to not sit. Standing is the thing I do best. These legs, they do stand.”
  • “Some people ask me if I’m a dog person or if I’m a cat person. I’m terrified of even just thinking about such things. Human/animal hybrids should be illegal.”
  • “I feel like the best way to eat fried chicken is on a private jet. Nothing really gets you closer to knowing what poor people feel like than that.”
  • “My record should do the talking. Look at my record. Look at it. Wait like 15 minutes. It will start talking. It took me to not drink water for 13 days but I got it to talk.”
  • “Hillary Clinton is a liar. Not those little things that bards play in Dungeons & Dragons, that’s a different kind of liar.”
  • “We need to make America great again. We need to stop worrying about what sports team name seems racist and just get rid of those people who are complaining about it. Remember when people didn’t complain about stuff like that, especially since we didn’t allow them to get out of the fields till they were done with their work? That’s what we need again.”

His disconnect with reality is clear, concise and disturbing, but still, no one is paying attention to him. In fact, I almost started falling asleep as I was writing this, almost as if it were like I was listening to an audiobook about Pyramids read by Ben Carson.
