  14. Republican elites are not going to stop Trump. They can't even make phone calls.

  15. On the other hand, absolutely not

  16. There hasn't. Yes, (a) his true life antics are stranger than what SNL can write and (b) him hosting crippled their pulpit.

  17. BREAKING: Universal Zulu Nation Announces Leadership Changes

  18. Feels like there hasn't been a really strong breakout Trump sketch from SNL. Beyond parody, and too scary?

  19. 🗣 ya'll seen how Kanye woke Kim K up!?

  20. On the other hand, flying seated next to someone doing math does seem stressful

  21. The main counter argument to Obama is that the movements he slightly dismisses have undeniably forced politicians to change their positions

  22. Obama's speech at is pretty complete overview of his perspective on change and the establishment's primacy in it. Worth a watch.

  25. Obama shouts out "Black Twitter and Black Lives Matter," but says "awareness is not enough" to create "structural change"

  26. Obama at Howard asks young black leaders to also "get in mindsets" of "a middle aged white man"

  27. Obama at Howard: you need "not just hashtags, but votes."

  28. Obama: "Shonda Rhimes owns Thursday night, and Beyoncé runs the world"

  29. At Howard commencement, Obama rejects Trumpism by rattling off all the ways "America is better now" than it was in past

  31. Some dude w obvious ax to grind vs Iran/Syria policy given 10,000 words to elevate WH punk to guru & attack journos

  32. First Muslim Miss USA Rima Fakih converts to Christianity:

  33. No, - your racism, sexism & xenophobia doesn't drive me nuts. It makes me sick. And I'm not alone.

  34. if as samuels said fact checkers were monitoring my tweets & retweets, would think Mag would give me a call before piece ran. but nope

  35. Author of NYT hit piece on Rhodes had unsurprisingly argued for bombing of Iran in 2009.

  36. Trump and Liz Warren spending Friday night fighting on Twitter. This election is weird.

  37. Lol this building housed Ted Cruz for President HQ

  38. For instance, he could have leaked extremely sensitive top secret docs to his mistress to enable hagiography.

  39. Headlines like this are just dispiriting about our political process
