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.
When did Bill Murray leave? I recall reading somewhere that he could no longer stand working with Chevy Chase.

And who paid off the cops to stand down and not investigate the shooter?

*Yes, I watch Law and Order stuff from time to time, but believe it or not, they are somewhat balanced.
I’ll take Projection for $500, Alex.
Well, she WAS a rude, thoughtless little pig. /sarc
Why does anyone watch that worn-out crap anymore? It hasn’t been funny since Eddie Murphy left.
Typical showbiz,IMO.
Why do people follow or listen to what play actors, clowns and jesters say regarding politics?
I don’t get it.
The NRA doesn’t pay taxes. Their employees didn’t get tax cut bonuses.
Democrats: “The tax cuts didn’t work!”
Some comedians perform the zit joke.
Other comedians are the zit.

A lot, just the other day the Disney owned NY sports station
drive time show who says they are apolitical (yet knocked
Ted Cruz re his NY values comment) yukked it up over
Sarah Palin’s “assertion” (actually SNL) about being able to see Russia
from her house. Because Palin/GOP etc were too weak in
rebuttal crap like this runs on and on
This is a late night comedy show run by and acted out by liberals.
Does anyone really believe they are going to be positive towards Trump or his presidency and the White House?
The focus on SNL, as if it is something significant, is misplaced. They play to their liberal base.
I stopped watching them and Johnny Carson when I graduated university and went into the military. I had a real job I had to get up early for in the morning. Early to bed, early to rise.
The first casualties in my military career were the late night talk and comedy shows.
Trust me. Looking back almost 50 years later, I never missed a thing.
Since, the left accuses the right of doing what they actually do...
Yep; definitely time for mandatory lobotomies for all leftists. Can’t happen too soon.
Exactly.

Good point. The ancient Romans had it right regarding actors.
I see your point, but SNL as well as the vast majority of mainstream media and news, were politically neutral, or much more so. It use to be you didn’t have to endure a viewpoint from an obvious left wing advocate.
I know Cronkite was a leftist, but he played the part of the centrist, because he knew he would alienate HALF his audience and hurt his credibility if let his views be made obvious. Whereas today it is a badge of honor among the leftist media to flaunt your extremist left views.
