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.

Why did it take so long to get to this . One of the major contentions behind the surface transportation reauthorization bill is the difficult funding situation and, again, we have a couple timetables in terms of the deadline on the highway bill.
