Hell, even Limbaugh used to be funny before the drugs fried his brain.

Please!

SNL is a satirical show. It pokes fun at whomever is in the White House.

And Trump's personality is a gift to them.

It's funny. Enjoy it.

I haven't seen a single criticism or mockery of Obama on SNL. Is it fair for Trump to get so much? Nope. But they are free to run the skits. Had Hillary won, SNL's ratings would sink with no more materials to run.

We should be so lucky so as to have right-wingers with principles in the media, but alas. They've realized what side of the bread is buttered.

Sample headlines from today: "Washington is out to get Steve Bannon" and "The paranoid style of anti-Trump politics".

One could power the Eastern Seaboard with a spool of copper wire, a few magnets, and the casket of William F. Buckley.

They made fun of Elizabeth Warren during the nightly news skit - Kate McKinnon played Warren, too.

The worse came in what SNL calls a digital short since it is filmed off set. It had Kate Mckinnon who I think is usually very talented and funny playing her rendition of Kellyanne Conway in a send up to the "Fatal Attraction" movie.
In the sketch, Conway is played as a deranged woman stalking the CNN anchor Jake Tapper. She breaks into his apartment and waits for him to get home. She then throws a fit and throws a knife at him once and holds one to his throat twice until he agrees to put her on his show again.

So much for promoting positive feminism.

It was so sick, stupid and not at all funny. I couldn't believe what I was watching and it went on and on.

See 'Kellyanne Conway' Go Full 'Fatal Attraction' on 'SNL' - Rolling Stone


I turned off the show after that. We all know that SNL has been struggling with trying to be funny for years now but with sketches like this that border on R rated violence it is not at all funny and sinks to a new level of sickness.

Are they that obsessed with Trump that they are willing to turn their show into one big anti Trump political statement? Have they moved that far Left?

I think they have gone way to far with their Trump bashing.


DONT WATCH IT- if it hurt your little feelings simple-- - watch cartoons instead-
