The Rise and Fall of Andrew Tate

The Rise and Fall of Andrew Tate      "He's bald. He's Romanian. He owns 33 cars. It's your favorite misogynist, please welcome, Andrew Taaaaaaaate," Piers Morgan entails with hope for applause, but alas, his show is left to a black screen, as always.      Love him or hate him, you have to admit that internet sensation Andrew Tate has left his mark on the world today. From his kick start on a kickboxing career, to elephantine hubris in shining his wealth upon the world, to his controversial blueprint of the world and a woman's role in it, Mr. Tate has effectively gotten banned from every single social media platform imaginable, only working as a direct counter to his effects on the world.

Like thunder after lightning, Painful noises near closer, Desks slam to a fortress, Students shoved like a bulldozer. A quiet murmur erupts, All eyes are bloodshot, The electricity within us, Each student a kilowatt. Ea...

An assemblage of lights flickered from all directions as both the plane and people retched through the chaos. A thousand metal ramparts screeched as a monkey would with its tail yanked, and my insides shuffled up and down like an elevator gone rogue. Suddenly, we stopped, and for a brief moment, the symphony of pandemonium was curtailed from the conductor’s end. Then, the drop hit.      1 week earlier…      I rustle my fingers and gaze upon the sand dribbling down into the ground. The navy blue ocean glistened by the sun and emanating patches of turquoise hue crashed down upon the shoreline, as clusters of people from all age groups lingered down yonder. I sink into the warm slushie of sand, and gaze upon a neon pink building with the words “Hawaii National Preservation” ...
