RT: Musk claims Twitter HQ landlord rejected homeless shelter plan.

Twitter owner Elon Musk has blamed his landlord for shooting down a proposal to use vacant office space at the social media company’s headquarters in San Francisco to help ease the city’s homeless crisis.

“We tried to turn it into a homeless shelter,” Musk said on Tuesday night in a BBC News interview. “They (the owners) won’t let us.” He added, “We’re only using one of the buildings, so the other building could be a homeless shelter.

Elon provides a partial solution.

Liberal Reaction: "We didn't think of this so we don't like the idea. What? Elon suggested it? Double-Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

Barack Obama ignores Trans Women. Will there be a Social Media reaction of outrage and backlash?

NPR: Barack Obama Says Women Could Solve Many Of World's Problems — Which Men Have Caused.

The world would be a better place if more women were in charge, former President Barack Obama says. Speaking at an event on Monday, Obama also said that many of the world's problems stem from "old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way."

Obama made the remarks at a private event in Singapore, where several thousand people gathered to hear the former president discuss leadership and his life in the Oval Office. Ticket prices ranged from around $255 to $955 for the event, which was organized by Australian business events company The Growth Faculty.

The former president said that if women were put in charge of every country for the next two years, the result would be gains "on just about everything," according to Singapore's Today.

"There would be less war, kids would be better taken care of and there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes," Obama said.

The Singapore event isn't available online, but Obama's office confirmed the substance of Obama's remarks to NPR on Monday. And the event's moderator, Nicholas Fang of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, says the Today report is accurate.

"If you look at the world and look at the problems, it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way," Obama said, according to a BBC report about the event.

"They cling to power, they are insecure, they have outdated ideas and the energy and fresh vision and new approaches are squashed," he added, Today reports.

"Now women, I just want you to know, you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men]," Obama said, according to the BBC.

I haven't checked Social Media. Is Obama's Twitter account being bombarded with allegations of his Transphobia? Have the protests in the streets near his home begun? Why did he exclude the Trans Community? He must be phobic. Why...now with all that money, he might be a Closet Republican!

Anyone else saying what Obama said would be labeled Transphobic. Social Media reaction would be swift, critical and non-stop. He would be forced to atone and walk-back his words. No one else could say this and escape criticism. Maybe Canada's Justin Trudeau, but he wouldn't make the mistake of excluding Trans-anyone.

It's "Okay."

"Democrats not being heard," says a whining Kamela Harris

From the taxpayer-subsidized NPR:

Headline: Democrats Protest As Republicans Likely Lock Up Kavanaugh Committee Approval
[.]
"This is a sham what's going on in there right now. Democrats are not being heard. They are pushing through this process," said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., one of the members who walked out [of the Friday Kavanaugh committee meeting].

The "they" she refers to are...I guess she means Republicans.

Pictured: Kamela Harris demonstrating she knows how to raise her right hand.

"Democrats not being heard." Dat. Is. Sooooo Sad. Epically Titanic  in nature, yes?

No, Kamlea - "you're" being heard. Others are no longer listening. You and yours have been Muted. Try and learn the difference between the two.

NPR: Does Trump Care?

Only from NPR. Only from NPR.

Written by Domenico Montanaro:

...tragedies present a special challenge for American presidents. It's one President Trump faces Tuesday in Texas[.]
[.]
This will be Trump's first test as consoler-in-chief, and it's not a role he has much experience with. Empathy is not what this president is known for.

Well...Domenico...how about if Trump tells those affected by the hurricane and flood that, he "feels their pain"? That should be all it takes, right Domenico?
