POTUS mentioned Kanye’s support last night at his WV rally.

Kanye West is finding out what happens if you’re black, and you try to stray from the Democrat plantation.

[proud American in Canada]

Now he’s a black candidate I could get behind.

Just because you didn’t like Obama doesn’t make you a racist, something I have told my children often. It’s not about skin color, it’s about policies and philosophy.

Left to Kanye West: “Stay on the plantation n-word”

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Glad to hear that!

A new world is forming. Celebrity status is shifting.

The dinosaur awards mean nothing now.

OMG! I am from Chicago and would love that! Kanye, set up a meeting with Rudy Guliani... ;)

This is another example of something pro Trump happens and the media THINKS they can smother it and no one knows about it. Ha ha ha nice try. The SNL audience was probably a bit more Black than usual and they saw and heard it all. That’s all that is necessary. We don’t need the 6 O’clock news to cover it; they never would. The right people saw this.

SNL has become as much a Democrat sounding board as NAACP, Southern Poverty Law Center, the Mainstream Media, etc.

Ninety percent of news are liberal." ... He continued: "90 percent of TV, L.A., New York, writers, rappers, musicians. So it's easy to make it seem like it's so one-sided."

The red wave is coming. He is actually speaking truth to power. He will continue to peel away people from the plantation.

We need to be praying for the protection of all who are standing for righteousness.

Satan doesn’t care who he takes out, although with famous people more likely to influence others, they would more likely be in the cross hairs.

Comcast is a dinosaur, and soon to be a dying blob. Verizon is rolling out it’s home 5G Internet. $50 -$70 per month, 300+ speed and no data caps. Ann another streaming service and you’re done. Comcast can’t compete well as sub $200 per month.

[americas.best.days...]

Trump gave a shout out to Kanye at the W Virginia rally last night. So he knew it was coming. Trump is a media genius, at a time when the media is the enemy of the nation.

These are amazing times.

Say what you please ...the guy’s got guts!!!

Kanye is speking to the vast array of Hollywood ignorati that lack the intlectual wherewithall to think beyond what they are force fed.

Is SNL doing any actual comedy now, or is it all the same political crap as the late night shows? The last time I tried to watch the show, it felt like it was being written by the same people who wrote the last season of the Ellen DeGeneres show (after she came out as a lesbian), and suddenly all of the shows were shallow political commentary without humor.

Hey, maybe Al Franken could get his old job back at SNL; writing bad comedy and then trying to perform in front of the camera himself. I hear he is groping at straws looking for something useful to do. Too bad for a guy whose professional highlight will be as "Baggage Handler #2."

[hawkaw]

Wow. Got to give Kanye West credit. He has a huge following. Not sure if it was smart to bully him.

[ZULU]

Trump is amazing: fighter, conservative, deal maker, entertainer, patriot, achiever,and brave to a fault.

What worries me us there is no one to step into his shoes,

Chris Rock used up be somewhat fair-minded. I guess his career has gone downhill enough that he can’t afford not to criticize Kanye’s blackness if he still wants any kind of work.

Am I missing comments from Chris Rock? All I see is that he continued videotaping him after SNL cut Kanye off and shared it on Instagram. Did he comment on Instagram?

[FrdmLvr]

Lorne Michaels had to know Kanye would do that.
