Keep in mind, political satire focuses on politics and politicians, not their families that do not insert themselves into the politics. Example, Eric Trump is fair play. Baron Trump is out of bounds.
We agree again.

I'd say we should stop doing that, but we're both Independents, regardless of which way we lean, so that's bound to happen now and then.

Snowflakes, no need to get upset by a comedy show.

Kate McKinnon did a hilarious Hillary and you know they'd run stuff about her and Bill in the WH with Bill doing the jobs normally reserved for FLOTUS while chasing interns or some such crazy mess.

And about Hillary not being able to connect with people... she struggles with that sort of thing and that's how McKinnon played her. You know she'd have some gaffes here and there and they'd nail her on them.

And she would laugh it off because she's an adult.

Just like Bill did. Just like both Bushes did. Just like Reagan did. Just like Carter, and Ford... and well, you get it, right?

Trump will be a gold mine for the SNL franchise - more power to them. We've never had a cast of characters as easy to parody as this Administration, they have only themselves to blame. SNL will probably run it into the ground, but they are going to have field day getting there. We're going to get a lot of laughs along the way. Stephen Colbert's material is funny too, more clever but in many ways more harsh.

SNL spoofed Warren and the companies who make commercials about immigrants to sell products.

During the primaries and the presidential campaign, they made fun of Clinton and Trump AND their VP picks.

Where's the "unequal?"

I mean, Trump and his team will dominate the skits but THEY are in charge. That's how it always works.

Yes, one that was making the rounds in Australia a while back said, "Trump grabs women by the pu**y and America by the balls". We are the laughingstock of the world. Although I have a friend in Australia who says that WE are not the laughingstock, HE is the laughingstock - and of course the Deplorables.

I know. If Clinton won and they were lampooning her all the time, they'd be declaring it a comedy sensation.

And Clinton's supporters (along with Clinton) would laugh at it, too.

Because.... sense of humor.

Granted, there are Trump voters who find SNL funny and know it's just satire.

But the Trump "fans" are really just as thin-skinned as their hero.

Sad.

Trump is great material for SNL and maybe Conway and Spicer as well. But they attacked Conway because she's a woman and she's blond. That doesn't fly anymore and they should be denounced for it by feminist groups. Just shows their hypocrisy.
