Orange Is The New Hate: 1 Day Into Donald’s Presidency The Racists Have Run Wild

Donald Trump Supporters Accused Of Dozens Of Hate Crimes Since Election Win Donald spent months riling up “the forgotten man” in his quest to “make America great again”. That phrase, “the forgotten man”, rings off like a dog whistle that screams “bitter white people who are likely racist bigots”. Trump’s path to the White House is paved with hate speech and violent rhetoric that invigorated a significant portion of his base and activated them to vote. So it should come as no surprise that many of his nefarious supporters are feeling emboldened by his unexpected victory. Whoever did this I'm throwin' hands pic.twitter.com/9Xn1YaCFmK — Chris Weatherd ™ (@Chris_Weatherd) November 9, 2016 This is just the beginning. Donald hasn’t even been sworn in yet and people are flooding social media with evidence of his constituents carrying out hate crimes. Flip the page to read and see of the harrowing stories.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian Baby Special: Already Scheduled!

It’s a girl for Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian. And it’s also a new primetime special for the couple. Because of course, right? Mere minutes after news broke that Blac Chyna had given birth to the twosome’s first child together, E! broke a second piece of news related to Rob and Chyna: The network will air the originally-titled Rob & Chyna Baby Special on Sunday, December 18 at 8/7c. We’d say this is the most ridiculous thing we heard all week, but Chyna and Rob also named their daughter Dream . (Oh, and Donald Trump was elected President of the United States.) Earlier in the day, TMZ has reported that cameras were, indeed, inside the hospital, filming various pieces of footage, some of which anger administrators. It’s unclear exactly what will be shown on the upcoming special, but an E! press release makes it sound like we’re about to get to know Blac Chyna extremely well. It says we’ll go “in to the delivery room” during the hour-long airing, adding: “During the special, we see that family and friends are never far away, coming together to support Rob and Chyna as they prepare for the birth of their daughter.” “Scott Disick as well as three of Chyna’s sisters, her dear friend Treasure, and mom Tokyo Toni who fly out from the east coast, celebrate the couple at their chic coed baby shower. “And later, loving and protective mothers Kris Jenner and Tokyo Toni reconnect with each other for the first time in five years at King Cairo’s lavish 4th birthday celebration.” Concludes the release: “Although Rob and Chyna have had turbulent times in their relationship, they face many important decisions head-on as the couple prepares for the birth of their baby. “Together, they decide whether or not it’s best for Chyna to have another c-section, and where the new family should live after the baby is born.” As in… should the live together, consider there’s been talk that Chyna and Rob are not even engaged any longer. As for the reaction of Rob’s famous family members? A few have chimed in about Dream already. “My new niece is absolutely stunning!!! So thankful I was able to land in time to witness this miracle happen! Praise God!” Tweeted Khloe Kardashian. Kris Jenner, meanwhile, actually witnessed the birth, telling E! News of what she saw first hand: “I got to watch [the] delivery. It was so beautiful and I’m so excited and happy to have another grandchild! No. 6! It was one of the most precious moments of my life.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies in 2016 Will Kim Kardashian break her social media silence and congratulate the couple? Will Tyga, the father of Chyna’s first child and boyfriend of Kylie Jenner, issue a statement? There’s no need to wonder whether or not Amber Rose will say anything. Because she already has! “Congratulations to my sister @blacchyna and brother @robkardashian on their lil bundle of joy! #DreamKardashian,” wrote the former Dancing with the Stars participant this afternoon. Except the well wishes to continue to pour in as the Rob Kardashian Baby Photo Watch commences. When will we get our first glimpse of little Dream?!?

Aaron Sorkin Attempts to Explain Trump in Open Letter to Daughter

As the creator of The West Wing and writer of The American President and A Few Good Men , Aaron Sorkin knows a thing or two about the drama of politics. But like most of us, Sorkin would prefer that his presidents bring him to tears by falling in love with Annette Bening, and not by promising to deport 13 million people. Earlier today, Vanity Fair published a moving open letter that the beloved showrunner and screenwriter wrote to his wife and teenage daughter in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election . “America didn’t stop being America last night and we didn’t stop being Americans and here’s the thing about Americans: Our darkest days have always — always — been followed by our finest hours,” Sorkin wrote in the letter, which you can read in full here . He went on to offer words of encouragement and hope, as well as a reminder that those who are feeling outraged and frightened by the election of Trump must lean on one another for support: “First of all, we remember that we’re not alone.  “A hundred million people in America and a billion more around the world feel exactly the same way we do. … We’ll f–king fight. (Roxy, there’s a time for this kind of language and it’s now.) We’re not powerless and we’re not voiceless.” While his overall tone was optimistic, Sorkin didn’t mince words when it came to describing the support base that allowed Trump to be elected, writing: “And it wasn’t just Donald Trump who won last night—it was his supporters too. The Klan won last night. White nationalists. Sexists, racists and buffoons.” “Angry young white men who think rap music and Cinco de Mayo are a threat to their way of life (or are the reason for their way of life) have been given cause to celebrate. “Men who have no right to call themselves that and who think that women who aspire to more than looking hot are shrill, ugly, and otherwise worthy of our scorn rather than our admiration struck a blow for misogynistic sh-theads everywhere. “Hate was given hope.” He concluded by reminding his daughter that “the battle isn’t over, it’s just begun.” “Grandpa fought in World War II and when he came home this country handed him an opportunity to make a great life for his family,” Sorkin wrote. “I will not hand his granddaughter a country shaped by hateful and stupid men. Your tears last night woke me up, and I’ll never go to sleep on you again.” View Slideshow: Donald Trump Wins Presidency, Twitter Reacts Many had hoped that after Trump’s election , he would apologize for the more inflammatory and bigoted statements he made during his campaign and do his best to ease tensions among the increasingly divided segments of the American population. He has yet to do so.
