Here’s a Google Doc’s of this discussion post in case anybody wants to read it in an easier, readable format. I attached it as a downloadable file to this thread as well. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VOExPc9uO7Dw_H_fCx-Ob6kaJhBEB-f_o12j0B7arJQ/edit?usp=sharing First off, nice thesis, Lewinsky. “How does it feel to be America’s premier blow-job queen?” Shame and Survival could be the most bias “professional” writing I’ve read recently. When I first saw the title and the introduction of the writing, I thought to myself, “Wow, this is cool!” With the presidential madness going on, reading this article is the perfect time as it relates to our current presidential debacle. However, after reading, my expectation of the whole thing was ended …show more content…
Do that.”

She was branded, name-called, and was defined as a sexual object by the media. She argues that she’s a woman and she’s a real human being that made a mistake like any other people would. She wants to help the people who have been shamed on the internet and not let them go through the same shameful process she has been.

Oh, right, how silly of me. Her writing basically talked about it, her fight for online harassment. Well, did she talk about it? Barely. She mentions the heated issue she had with Hillary Clinton and the attack on feminism and politics, but gave no solid answer to fight against online bullying. Well, I did the due diligence of researching and found that her ways of combat against cyber bullying is… an emoji app (Vanity Fair). And yes, the article on the website I found it from was Vanity Fair, which was published a few months ago. I see dollar signs floating the air here…
Okay, I’m going to end my discussion here. I’m sorry for the rudeness of my writing. Her writing for the Vanity Fair was just awful to me as she makes herself all too innocent in the writing. The extreme gloating of herself for the burden of handling fame and the cry of being outcasted on a daily basis just didn’t roll with me. She brought the fame upon herself by publicizing herself in the beginning and taking advantage of the

    When a president misbehaves we have no other choice to punish them by throwing them out of office, but what counts as a punishable crime? When the Constitution was drafted no set guidelines for impeachment except the line “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors against the state. While treason and bribery sound clear enough, high crimes and misdemeanors can be interpreted differently causing the true meaning to be fuzzy and unclear. Earlier cases of Executive branch wrong-doings, such as Watergate, caused congress to pass an Independent Counsel Law, creating a separate panel of judges to appoint investigators un-attached to the executive branch. It was deemed necessary to create the Independent Counsel so the executive branch was not investigating itself.…

    Michelle Malkin’s purpose is to expose the so-called “lazy advocates and ignorant journalists” who are not fact checking their news, and causing a skewed version of what’s the truth. Malkin uses a social media “meme of the moment” to drive home her point of what journalists and news reporters are doing incorrectly. She gives evidence to what journalists sloppiness has costed civilians, and even ends her column with “When #MeToo bandwagons form in the midst of a panic, innocent people get run over” not only implying that journalist are causing innocent people to be accused of sexual assault but also innocent people who have been sexually assaulted to be denied justice because of them. Malkin plays the underdog role anticipating that after you hear her “sane perspective on an insane issue” you will see that in fact her hesitation to believe what journalists say is not merely her wanting to be cautious, but smart.…

    The Rise of Eunuchs in the Middle of Confucianism The Ming Dynasty witnessed the highest point of the eunuch system and its political influence in the Chinese government during the 15th century.

Despite the conflict against traditional Confucianism, which was the founding belief in creating a Chinese virtuous government, the eunuch system continuously flourished and even led to the creation of voluntary eunuchs (Mitamura 70). Indeed, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was more than 70,000 eunuchs, which…
