In a recent interview on the Politico podcast "Off Message," SNL's Weekend Update co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost defended Donald Trump, saying he's "super smart" and "super hardworking," and implying he doesn't deserve all the negative attention he gets. Che also said, "Let's not pretend that this guy is a mutant, you know, and he's the most evil, racist, mutant piece of crap that ever walked. Listen, there's probably somebody in your building way worse than Donald Trump, and you buy bagels from him, and it's fine."
The argument that there are "worse" racists is blatantly stupid. None of those worse racists have a shot at becoming president in the next month. (I can't believe we even have to say these things!) Che is a successful comedy writer / performer who presumably has some training in writing and performing satire. He's probably received some amount of education on the history of political satire, which has been used as a subversive counterweight to power since the beginning of governments.

“But, then, that applies to most progressives, doesn’t it?”
She’s actually one of the happier ones compared to two piles of garbage I no longer associate with.
....and she probably drives a Prius.............
There hasn’t been a point to SNL in decades!
“Tiffany’s resume(Not kidding)”
I don’t know who you are, but I like your style :-)!!!
I loved the skit where Phil Hartman played Reagan, who would one moment look like friendly Reagan, but as soon as everyone left......."BACK TO WORK!" and showed him orchestrating the whole Iran-Contra thing, even speaking Arabic over the phone.
Do people actually watch SNL? I didn’t know it was still on.
Well, that cat is out of the transparent bag. (quote Paul Harvey)
“If Saturday Night Live isn’t going to take down Trump, what’s the point of Saturday Night Live?”
Uh, make people laugh? But, hey, that ship has already sailed anyway.
"... homely little goo stain ..." - LOL!!
Is her ‘partner’ named Tiffany Kaitlyn ?
When you are 12 years old, you will laugh like a hyena at such silliness.
Looking back, yeah, Belushi, Radner, Murray, and Aykroyd were funny.
I still get a kick out of their commercial parodies.
Like "Little Chocolate Donuts" making fun of the Bruce Jenner commericals for Wheaties.
They weren't so hot in 1980 with the new cast, Joe Piscopo, and Eddie Murphy excepted.
They hit their stride IMHO, with the Phil Hartman/Dana Carvey years.
The writing became much more polished, and they really went for the laughs.
NOT politics, per se.
I admit I've never liked Will Ferrell.
Even though his GW Bush wasn't really that mean-spirited.
They just poked fun at the guy.
Dana Carvey actually became friends with GHW Bush.
Ferrell has said that he despises GW Bush, and refused invitations to the WH.
Now, that means you are taking yourself WAY to seriously as a "comedian".
You're just being an a$$hole.
Once it went full retard leftist, it just wasn't as funny anymore.
They believe they took down Sarah Palin.
Actual free speech is a mystery to her and to proggies like her: a mere accusation is enough to justify denial of basic civil rights to anyone she thinks she might disagree with, and no weapon is too foul for their destruction. There is a fundamental childishness to the activist Left that protects them from the consequences of their actions - people consider themselves this infallible mainly due to never having felt the knocks in life that might have taught them better. This one will spend the entire four years of the first Trump administration (haste the day!) shrieking about how unfair the country is for not having indulged her every whim. And will vote accordingly.
Phil Hartman had a great sense of timing. Even on that horrid "Newsradio" show, he still managed to steal every scene he was in.
What a loss, when he was killed.
Seriously? The very existence of a magazine with that title is appalling.

Graduated? Not that it really matters.
That said, she has held more honest jobs than Barack 0bama or Hillary Clinton.
