Last nights SNL had Alec Baldwin hosting so I tuned in expecting to see him trashing on Trump as usual but instead Melissa Maccarthy opened the show with her stupid Sean Spicer mocking. I have a sense of humour and a bit of it was funny but it went on and on to the point where it was just bashing the Trump administration as nothing but a bunch of buffoons.
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.

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.

They will go too far eventually, (like invoking the KKK with a Bannon skit or something). I don't watch Baldwin, but did see the first McCarthy skit and that was funny (once).


They seem a bit unhinged as their only draw is the Trump administration and they are milking the hell out of it.

I'm sensing a lot of snowflakes are going to be offended. I thought you guys didn't like political correctness?

Any criticism of trump is too far for him and his cowardly, hypocritical chickensh-t lemmings.

LOL to the "promoting positive feminism" comment. Seriously, you think women should give Kellyanne our undying support strictly because she's a woman and simply disregard her penchant for lying every time she opens her mouth? Is that what you think feminism is about?

SNL is doing what SNL has been doing for decades. Only the delicate little orange snowflakes think ridiculing Trump should be off limits.

Talking Has Saturday Night Live gone too far?

Not nearly as "too far" as tRump & Co have gone in only 3 weeks.

Dear GOP:

Please hire someone to read the EOs to tRump before he signs them.

Yours truly,

America and the world
