Yet another thing that was Trumps fault.

Trump is spoofable. He's laughable. He has made himself a character; he craves attention and he gets it. He looks ridiculous. He acts ridiculous. He makes for good comedy.

Are people really THIS upset? About SNL, of all things? And did you really keep count, LOL?

Trump isn't a straight white male?

I honestly can not believe this is what people are up in arms about. OMG who cares? I don't keep track of how many stupid nicknames conservatives come up with and weep loudly all over the internet because they don't have anywhere near as many meeeeeen nicknames from Pubs as Dems. People here are literally counting, LOL. Maybe it's time to.grow a thicker skin?

Happy fourth!

I don't disagree that Trump is spoofable, but are you seriously saying that Biden isn't? The man can't speak a coherent sentence, can't walk up stairs, and needs Kindergarten level notes to perform properly at a function. If he was a Republican, SNL would be spoofing him every chance they got. Kriminy, the man is a walking potato and he's half-baked at that.

True and Fox News criticizes the left and the right.

Both true statements lacking any nuance or scale.

This is the litmus test between left or right leaning....and far left or right.

Only the far left or right thinks their side is unbiased.

For those still doubting bias, they trashed Manchin and Sinema on SNL because they held out on BBB (saving us from even more inflation).

They portrayed Manchin as wanting child labor because their tiny fingers are great for grabbing coal in the mines.

They made a token attempt at balance showing AOC and Harris there but pretty much left them alone.

You really can't just wave that one off folks.

I think the bigger point is that no one really cares that much but Trump (who whined about it throughout his presidency) and the GQP. SNL goes for ratings, and if their characters did not bring ratings, they would sack the character and move on.

And just for the record, I have NEVER seen a whole episode of SNL, but usually watch the sketches that end up making news.
