Saturday Night Live this weekend opened with a bipartisan meeting on gun control, led by Alec Baldwin‘s Donald Trump, during which the president indicated that there were “30 million good reasons” why nothing will change.

POTUS, joined by Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Diane Feinstein, said in the wake of the Parkland school shooting that it was time to take a hard look at mental health, “which I have so much of. I have one of the healthiest mentals.” He than posed the idea that “maybe we just take everyone’s guns away,” and that no one should be allowed to have them, “not even whites.” Pence, seemingly distraught, was then assured by Trump that he “met with the NRA, [and] they gave me 30 million good reasons not to change a thing.”

SNL chose not to address Trump’s Friday morning tweets complaining about the Emmy winner’s “terrible” impression, which also suggested that the show should bring back previous portrayer Darrell Hammond. Instead, Baldwin’s Trump focused on the president’s assertion that he would have run into the chaos at the Florida high school, even if he weren’t armed.

“The youth of America deserve to feel safe and secure in their schools,” he continued, but “folks, I can only run into so many schools and save everybody… If I have to make America’s schools safe all by myself, I will. Just like how I’m running the White House all by myself… The people who work for me keep resigning, like Hope Hicks. She’s like a daughter to me. So smart, so hot.

“We need to heal this country of ours. It’s really one of the best… Top 5? We could do better,” he declared. “I said I was going to run this country like a business. That business is a waffle house at 2 am — crazies everywhere, staff walking out in the middle of their shift, managers taking money out of the register to pay the Russian mob — but maybe we do just take all the guns away.”

Attorney General Jeff “Mr. Magoo” Sessions then turned up, refusing to resign despite Trump’s pleas.

I wonder how many liberals get most of their "news" from SNL and late night talk shows.

[butlerweave]

Saturday Night Live , why is this crap still on ,why was it ever on

[Eddie01]

What’s SNL?

[chris37]

So, with that accusation, it’s clear that the little creep students were paid off by gun control groups and Soros.

[IncPen]

If the 2nd Amendment is on the table why not the 1st?

Let’s shut down SNL.

[Vermont Lt]

And the other day he suggest that we might have a President for life at some point the future.

Both we poor attempts at humor. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Paladin2]

Better to take the left-tards’ money away.

[BenLurkin]

Most of the ones under the age of 35 do

[Gay State Conservative]

I thought SNL folded after Belushi and Akroyd left.That's when *I* stopped watching.

[Telepathic Intruder]

They got the news from SNL that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house. Most liberals believed it to be actual news.

[OttawaFreeper]

And we all know what a very dull and depraved person Alec Baldwin really is on a personal level. I fail to understand why TCM needs to bring him on every now and then.

[rktman]

If they only knew that all NRA members got bonus checks from HQ.

[raiderboy]

The communist left has blown all pretext of credibility and has embarked on hysterical hatred of out great president such that real people are offended and are coming to Trump out of revulsion of the left. Virtually no one will watch the communist left emmys ( actually called enemies) tonight. Americans are sick of it. GO TRUMP!!

[Gay State Conservative]

Among the many,*many*reasons why DJT was the better choice was (and still is) that he,*much* unlike the past few Rat Party nominees,simply cannot be bought.

[Howie66]

I have a long standing policy of NOT watching SNL and the Oscars.

I shall continue this policy for as long as I shall live.

[Leaning Right]

> I wonder how many liberals get most of their “news” from SNL and late night talk shows. <

This relentless propaganda will, I fear, have an effect. Keep hearing that 1 plus 1 equals 3, and pretty soon you’ll be thinking that maybe 1 plus 1 really does equal 3.

The saving grace here is that a large segment of the population has recognized that propaganda for what it is, and has avoided it. I, for one, used to enjoy SNL. Now I watch Perry Mason reruns instead.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

SNL was funny back in the mid 70s...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Liberals apparently also get their news from FOX nowadays. Yesterday, on the FOX Report, Julie Banderas broke from reading then news for some “common sense” about guns. She stressed background checks — which I agree with on the state level, since the Feds can’t find their own behinds with a flashlight and both hands, and we need to stop the crazies from getting weapons — but segued into a lecture on how we don’t “need” the “assault weapons” and the 30-round magazines. At that point, I turned to Law and Order SVU and took it from there.

Yes, folks, I’d rather watch Mariska Hargitay be tortured by Pablo Schreiber on SVU than listen to somebody lecture us on what guns we need on a supposedly balanced news network. Maybe Banderas can be a beard for Shepard Smith.

[stanne]

The original SNL would never have brought a mass shooting in as comedy or even satire. They’d have left it alone. John Belushi had higher standards than current media anti American culture figures

[Dutch Boy]

Obviously not by doing doing any research. It took less than a minute to find the NRA Annual Financial Report for 2016. They have a total of $132,653,392 in assets. So, why would a person that could buy the NRA 10 times over need to be paid off by them? These people are just crazy and getting worse.
