Selective Outrage
Recently, Michelle Obama was giving a speech in support of Hillary Clinton. She expressed outrage at revelation that Mr. Trump had been groping women and sexually intimidating them. She became emotional to the point of tears. However, she seems to have forgotten the sexual carrying on of Bill Clinton, and for that matter Ted Kennedy. What Trump did, allegedly, was 9 to 11 years ago, some of which has already proven false. But let us get up to date. Just one question; How many rappers have been asked to perform at the White House who call women bitches and whores? Answer ; All of them.
Further, I contend that when two of the ten Trump accusers are proven liars, it is perfectly legitimate to contend that there's a good chance we'll find more liars. How does this reflect on the Democrats bringing this to the fore?

I have an aversion to violence, particularly as entertainment. My idea of a good flick is
About Time or Big Fish.
My beef is with the gratuitous violence.
Also on a personal note having lost my son to suicide , my wife and I are often confronted with jokes about that sad topic watching so-called comedic entertainment.
On a visit to downtown Los Angeles (and nearby), I walked up those steps (131 of them) carrying my camera, sans piano. The bottom of the steps, marked with a plaque, is between 923 and 935 Vendome Street in the Silver Lake district, off Sunset Boulevard.
Try this for fun. In Google maps, enter “Music Box Steps, Los Angeles, CA” and zoom in as desired. Also click the Earth button to get a photographic view, then simultaneously press Shift while clicking and dragging your pointing device to control a 3D perspective view. (Did you know you could do that?!)
If physically downtown, you might also want to visit the Bradbury building at the corner of W 3rd Street and S Broadway, across from the Million Dollar Theater and a few blocks from the visually striking LA City Hall. The easily forgettable brick exterior hides a spectacular interior of beautiful wrought iron and polished marble. It was used as a shooting location in films and TV, most memorably in Blade Runner.
Some 7 or 8 miles toward the west, you can visit the La Brea Tar Pits, a famous ensnaring pit of black slime. Perhaps that’s a callback to the original poster’s topic about Michelle Obama, the White House rappers, and the President who invited them.
I will certainly avail myself of it. Also, as I recall, if they had driven all the way up the driveway they would have found themselves at the front door - no steps.
For about $60 on Amazon, the DVD set Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection includes Way Out West and almost every other of their sound films and short features. (But not The Flying Deuces, Bonnie Scotland, Babes in Toyland, or their silent stuff.) For me, just Block-Heads, Brats, Politiquerías, A Chump at Oxford, The Music Box, Our Relations, and Sons of the Desert would have justified the price. But there are more than 4 dozen other shorts and features in the set.
Oliver was also quite the passive ,patient and gentle companion.
I have said the same thing these rappers who are close friends with the Obama's have made hundreds of $millions Spouting words that are intended to be memorized and repeated by their fans and are played all over the radio. The lyrics are disgusting and ignorant, but I personally will condone anyone the right to speak freely whether They speak garbage or not.
Trumps braggadocio behavior and words were not intended to be recorded.
IF the claim is to be a champion for the minority it must include the individual and yet they disdain a free thinking ethical self-serving person.
Pardon my ignorance, but I don't understand you references to Michelle Obama as a ghetto (street) woman? Sounds racist to me. Exactly what do you mean, because I hope I'm wrong.
As they say, "If you're gonna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk."
While the Obamas cannot compare to the Clintons for downright criminal activity, they outstrip them when it comes to treason and nation-altering.
She uses taxpayer funds to send herself on expensive vacations on which she brings along literally hundreds of friends and coterie.
She hosts rap artists who openly denigrate blacks, women, cops, etc.
She openly calls for Federal control of schools through her lunch programs.
Sorry, but if this is the kind of mother you laud, I'll leave her to you. Kudo's to her for knowing how to jump rope, but the other things are a huge turnoff to me.
