Beyond NBC’s implicit approval of racism by giving Trump a platform on SNL, there is the issue of the network turning over 90 minutes of live network television time to billionaire presidential candidate. A candidate being in a sketch is not the same as the publicity that comes from hosting the show. If NBC refuses to dump Trump from SNL, they will be burning a lot of bridges. NBC has no problem with being in the Donald Trump business, but they will regret their cheap ratings grab after they lose viewers on November 7 and beyond. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are determined not to let NBC back into the Donald Trump business.

"Wonderful work! An insightful, integrative adventure into what makes humans flourish. Rob Kall shows us that we know how to do this, that most of human history was about connection and that there are ways to make it happen again. He offers real solutions and practical suggestions for taking back the world for community, connection and well-being away from hierarchy, exclusion, and destruction. A new handbook for the necessary revolution!"
