When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

Uncle Tom?
In 2017, Snoop Dogg asked who the first "Uncle Tom" performing at Donald Trump's inauguration was gonna be.

Last night, Snoop performed at the Crypto Ball.

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

The tech folks and much of our media are obeying in advance and Trump, the luckiest man alive!, has never faced so little media and social media scrutiny.
