Source: NBC screen cap / NBC Kanye West embarrassed himself while visiting the Oval Office and performing a minstrel show on Thursday (Oct. 11). So it was a given that Saturday Night Live would recreate their bizarre at best lovefest. With Alec Baldwin once again playing Donald Trump and Chris Redd portraying Kanye West, the jokes were flying. The conclusion, Yeezy is the Black version of Cheeto. “Oh my God, he’s Black me,” said SNL Trump (in his inner voice) after witnessing a man with an ego and narcissism to match. All things considered, where is the lie? Worth noting is that Baldwin also included a nod to his headass notion that Black people love him because of Trump portrayal . Also, props to the SNL writer who include the “scoopity dee whoop” Yeezy lyrics slander (see: “Lift Yourself”).

T he conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports claimed that 35 percent of African-Americans approve of President Donald Trump ‘s job performance. Through this survey, the politically biased pollster is supporting Trump’s myth that he’s done a lot for Black people. See Also: Canceled! Millennials Pick Obama As Best President Over Trash-Talking Trump In a report released on Friday, Rasmussen placed Trump’s overall approval rating at 51 percent among likely voters. “This is Trump’s highest Presidential Approval Index rating since early March of last year, shortly after he first took office,” Rasmussen stated. One day earlier, Rasmussen tweeted about the suspiciously high level of Black voter support for the president. Good day for @realDonaldTrump job approval… https://t.co/mazBCW77nY All Voters: 50% approve Black Voters: 35% approve pic.twitter.com/MKP85IGRYU — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 4, 2018 Rasmussen raised eyebrows in August when its polling first suggested that there was an increase of Black voter support for Trump. The Washington Post called that claim “far-fetched,” given the president’s long history of racial insensitivity. The newspaper pointed out that Gallup surveys have consistently polled African-American approval of Trump at around 10 percent through 2018. This new poll comes as Trump tries to rally his base and help the GOP scrape together as many Black votes as possible to hold on to Congress. At rallies, Trump has been trying to convince people that he’s accomplished great things for African-Americans in his two years in office. Among his claims is that Black median income has reached a high point under his administration. That’s not true, according to the Associated Press . Census Bureau data shows that the median income in 2017 for an African-American household was $40,258. That’s below a 2000 peak of $42,348 and also statistically no better than 2016, which was President Barack Obama ’s last year in office, the AP said. It’s no surprise that Rasmussen appears to help Trump promote the myth of Black support, given its connection with the GOP . To achieve its ends, Rasmussen Reports uses research techniques that make its polls favor Republicans, Ipsos Public Affairs research director Mallory Newall told The Hill .

Source: Republican National Convention at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Featuring: Ted Cruz Where: Cleveland, Ohio, United States When: 20 Jul 2016 Credit: Dennis Van Tine/Future Image/WENN.com The Supreme Court nomination of alleged sexual offender Brett Kavanaugh by alleged sexual predator-in-chief Donald Trump has got the resistance riled up in a way that hasn’t been seen since this administration was ripping families apart at the border and building concentration “summer camps” for kids (100+ kids are still orphaned thanks to this practice by the way). And just like before, everyday citizens have taken it upon themselves to call out Republican senators in public for their lack of empathy and overall immorality. On Monday night (Sep. 24) former Trump punching bag turned Trump lackey Ted Cruz became the latest GOP representative to learn first hand that the resistance have no qualms about making their social life every bit as difficult as they’re making ours with their sexist and racially driven policies. In a video shared by Smash Racism DC, Ted Cruz and his wife found themselves being chased out of the Fiola restaurant in Washington DC by activists who were chanting “We believe survivors!” BREAKING. Activists just chased @TedCruz out of a fancy Washington DC restaurant, chanting “We Believe Survivors!” Cruz has been friends with creep Kavanaugh for 20 years. Now Cruz is on judiciary committee hearing his testimony. Fascists not welcome! #CancelKavanugh pic.twitter.com/7mx6Tc32za — Smash Racism DC (@SmashRacismDC) September 25, 2018 He gonna cry in the car. Cruz obviously wasn’t expecting to feel the brunt of the pushback from American citizens who aren’t a fan of his decades old buddy, Brett Kavanaugh. With protestors up in his grill like they paying his bills (they kinda are), Cruz was bombarded with the chants along with yells of “Vote no on Kavanaugh,” and “Are you going to confirm your best friend Brett Kavanaugh?” While we’re sure this will lead to more calls for “civility” from the Republican party we do wonder why that same calls for civility aren’t made when death threats are made to anyone who publically opposes Trump or his cronies. Kinda like the death threats that forced Christine Blasey Ford from her home after she came forward with her attempted rape accusation against Brett Kavanaugh. — Photo: WENN.com
Rapper and gift to humanity Snoop Dogg has laid into Donald Trump before, verbally excoriating the man for his behavior and politics. Now, Snoop is doubling down on that, and also giving Trump’s supporters a piece of his mind. Snoop is singling out one Trump supporter in particular: Kanye West. In an appearance on DJ Suss One’s SiriusXM, Snoop Dogg did not mince words. Not when he spoke about Donald Trump, and not when he spoke about Trump’s fans and supporters. “F–k you,” Snoop said to address any Trump supporters who might be listening. “And,” Snoop continued. “F–k him.” While many Americans may share that sentiment in one form or another, not everyone is willing to be so blunt. Snoop made it clear that his ire extends to his fellow celebrities. Snoop added: “Kanye, too.” “Don’t forget about him too,” Snoop repeated. “F–k you too!” As we mentioned, Snoop has excoriated Kanye for his bizarre support for Donald Trump in the past. Now, Snoop is doubling down on it. “Throw him in the bag too,” Snoop said in reference to Kanye. “Because he’s right there with the motherf–kers.” Most of us vividly remember Kanye’s multiple declarations of support for Donald Trump. Earlier this year, Kanye had what many assumed was a mental breakdown, and began tweeting things that made little to no sense to his millions of followers. “We are both dragon energy,” Kanye said of Trump. “He is my brother.” The man who had declared in 2005 that George W. Bush had no compassion for black people or their well being seemed to have shifted his own priorities. But Snoop had his own theory for why Kanye was seeing orange. Snoop Dogg says that Kanye West needs a black woman to set him straight and to talk sense into him. He says that Kim Kardashian humors Kanye too much when she should be influencing him to be a better, less self-sabotaging person. Snoop believes that, were Kanye’s late mother still among the living, Kanye would not have said and done the stupid things that have become a huge part of his brand for the past decade. That means that Kanye would have voted in 2016 and would never have voiced or felt support for Trump. Still, others say that perhaps Snoop is just making excuses for Kanye, just like the people who are saying that Kanye is mentally ill. Maybe Kanye isn’t mentally ill and maybe he isn’t lost without a black woman in his life. Maybe he’s just … bad. And it sounds like Snoop may have come to that conclusion, because he is no longer suggesting things that Kanye needs. A simple “f–k you” may be what Kanye deserves — at least, that seems to be how Snoop feels. Unlike many people, who walk on eggshells while discussing Trump’s supporters but are perfectly blunt when discussing Trump, Snoop isn’t making allowances for “economic anxiety.” If you support Trump, Snoop has made it very clear where you stand in his eyes.

O marosa Manigault Newman had another public meltdown on Wednesday. The former Trump aide hurled insults and referred to a host as a “b***h” on a SiriusXM radio show, a video revealed. RELATED: Family Of Michael Clarke Duncan Says Omarosa Was A Manipulating ‘Serpent’ – Sounds Like Trump!

Ryan said that Manigault Newman “physically intimidated” her during a meeting last year, The Washington Post reported. Additionally, Manigault Newman also refused to talk about Trump or the administration’s heavily criticized interactions with communities of color at the National Association of Black Journalists convention last August. The ex-Trump aide, who appeared on “The Apprentice,” continues to be at the center of dramatic events.
