Night live to disencouraging donald trump from hosting the show. His divisive and racist rhetoric has very troubling and realworld consequences. Respect and dignity is cornerstones for our values. Perhaps this blender happened because currently there is no latino cast member on snl and only two in the entire history of snl. I hope the producers will consider how donald trump hosting snl will compromise the intigrity of their show. It will degrade the quality of snl humor because racism is isnt funny.

Emergency officials in the sister towns of hildale and Colorado City say a van and an suv carrying 16 women and children were swamped by a wall of water that washed them downstream. Three managed to survive. The flash flooding was triggered by heavy rains falling in the canyons just north of those two towns. Power and Water Service still out in much of that area.
