Twitter User, @kyoshiisland, shared their thoughts on how Avatar: The Last Airbender is such a magically powerful show, in what it accomplishes in the way of breaking down politics/ethics matters.

Check out some thought-provoking quotes from old and wise, Uncle Iroh, here, if you're hungry for more Avatar: The Last Airbender content.
Australian far-right candidate, Mark Ellis, got brutally dragged on Twitter for a 30-year-old incident he seemed stubbornly adamant about not addressing. My dude, that is the worst thing to do on a platform like Twitter. The more you try to redirect the attention being given to something, the longer and harder users will stare at it. In this case, the "incident" and its unbelievable crudeness speaks for itself.
People are taking to Twitter to express some of their outrage over what they're getting back this year for tax refunds. Some people are calling the situation, a #GOPTaxScam. Check out the rage-filled reactions. What do you make of it?
Patton Oswalt exercised some admirable self-awareness and restraint in the face of a heated Twitter debate with a testy Trump supporter. In this case, he took a timeout on his verbal assault, to steer his focus toward helping the man who was dealt a tough hand. In a matter of 24 minutes, Oswalt's gesture resulted in surpassing the man's GoFundMe goal. Apparently, up until that point, the man had received only $350 from donors. Patton Oswalt is GOOD PEOPLE.
Musician, Cardi B, lit Twitter up with excited reactions after she told American conservative political commentator, Tomi Lahren, that she'd dog walk her, in the midst of a verbal brawl over the current government shutdown. People found themselves scrambling toward Urban Dictionary, to look up what it means to "dog walk" someone, and they were not disappointed with the results. Turns out this might be the Twitter beef the online world never knew it needed!
Everything about this adds up to pure badass awesomeness. Not only did Winston Churchill (strong arm?) manage to get his doctor to prescribe him the get-out-of-jail-free card to end all cards, but he did it for an infinite amount. Now that, that is sick.
Right around the 1:00 mark....Ted Cruz quite literally defies the natural laws of physics. His body does the OPPOSITE of what's supposed to happen when taking a sizable running start, and jumping off a trampoline. I have questions, Ted Cruz.
Melania Trump kicked the hornet's nest and riled up a whole lot of people on Twitter when pictures of her wearing an "I really don't care" jacket, while visiting migrant children, surfaced online. It's chill though, cause Donald Trump tweeted out that this was stylistically motivated by her desire to provide personal commentary on what she thinks of "Fake News organizations." Yes, this is the reality we live in. What's next.
In the wake of heavy scrutiny for detaining migrant children and separating them from their families, the U.S. State Department chose a pretty weird time to tweet about traveling with your family.
