“The country is split. There are - more people voting for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, but he's the president.” Quote by John S. Dickerson
“I think the people marching in L.A., on college campuses around the country, aren't marching simply because Trump was a Republican president and he got elected. They're marching because the Trump campaign is very much centered on demagogic rhetoric against immigrants, against Muslim-Americans, against black protest, against sort of America's non-white community.” PeopleThinkingCountryBlackPresidentCommunityCollegeRepublicanProtestRhetoric Author:John S.

“In stand up every joke is thought about so meticulously, and one word can completely change how the audience responds. You're up there with no safety net; you can't shirk responsibility. It's your thoughts; it's your voice. You can't blame it on the writing, you can't blame it on the editor.
