Have to admit it’s amusing that the right likes to call the left snowflakes yet they elected the biggest snowflake of all. Where past presidents rolled with the tide when SNL, etc made fun of them. Trump whines and pitches a fit.

Get real. The only ones bringing up Hillary are Trump supporters.

You got that right. Trump spends way too much time watching TV---and not even good quality TV---and not enough time studying the issues facing our nation. His fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants idea about governing is not working. He can't even properly vet the people he hires and then fires later on.

Hillary herself, keeps bringing up Hillary to stay relevant.

I watched the clip. Not amused till the close:

Kellyanne tells Trump: “ Every time a bell rings, someone you know either quits or goes to jail”

You go read it and tell me what fanciful interpretation you came up with if you disagree, because I do read and comprehend English. And what it always comes down to with Trump is that he's a ***** who wants to censor media instead of putting on his big boy pants and dealing with / ignoring criticism.
The Fairness Doctrine reborn?

Trump base and Hillary seem to have some common ground.

Saturday Night Live has skewered politicians since Day One. It's not the show's fault that Trump doesn't know the difference among news reporting, editorial opinion, and satire.

LMAO - how ironic of you to complain about a thread detailing Trump's complaints about news and entertainment media.

I'm with you until you bring up Hillary Clinton - who SNL also has skewered time and again for decades. She is not relevant to this discussion.

You might want to read up on libel law.

You and BeerGeek are the only ones who brought her up in this thread, which has nothing to do with her. At all.

Wrong. There is no whining of the election, except by cons. As evidenced by their constant “But Hillary!” cries. Stay on topic, topic being your thin skinned immature toddler you idolize, trump.

And when you can’t defend your idols thin skinned immature tantrums, deflect deflect deflect. That’s the only thing you cons are good at.

Courts have ruled satire is not defamation.

Viewers have watched SNL for 43 years for humor/ satire.

Think Trump understood that when he chose to guest host:

Or this in 2004 when he quips about his womanizing and the sketch pokes fun at the fictitious NBC line up:

There's no way you can be serious with this comment. We live in the USA not in Russia or China. Satire and comedic portrayal of public figures is part of our culture. Every other President until Trump understood this clearly, maybe it got under their skin but they had enough maturity and class to laugh it off. Bush, Clinton, Obama - they all got their fair share. Better have a thick skin if you are going to go into national politics.
