Fox News ^ | October 04 2020 | Tyler McCarthy

“Saturday Night Live” made light of Donald Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis during the Season 46 premiere’s “Weekend Update” segment.

Hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che returned to the “Weekend Update” desk for the first time since the pandemic shut down production on the long-running NBC sketch show. They immediately jumped on the opportunity to mock the president for contracting the potentially deadly virus after downplaying the severity of the pandemic for months.

The hosts pulled no punches in their rebuke, mocking Trump just hours after it was announced that he was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment.

Don’t forget to note the names of the writers as well as the “comedians”.

Wishing ill on another and saying it has consequences which come back to you in ways you cannot imagine.

There is a reason Christ is called The Word. Only Humans have language in this form and they must be judicious with its use.

Whether you are Christian or practice another religion, or even none at all, words return in payment to you.

These 2 alpha-hotels ruined the Weekend Update. Never liked them. ‘Course haven’t watched SNL for a long time either.

So? We know that liberals/libertarians/hollyweird/etc are all enemies of the Republic. They hate Christ and His followers and want to bring down the country.

We're at war, and conservatives are the only ones not fighting.

The ChiComs are very capable of having agents sneaking into public meets and spreading 19. Since they created this don’t put it past them to pass it on

HERE IS WHY
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.

The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.

But certainly violated when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring. Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.

Just a little reminder.

The Left blamed (and still do) POTUS Reagan for the spread of AIDS.

I'm not sure what he could have done to stop the spread unless he made a Speech telling Gay Males to stop having Anal Sex.

I'm sure they would have listened to him and immediately stopped doing so.

The reality is the DEMONcRATS and the Media did everything they could do to stamp down any notion that AIDS was a Gay Disease.

They also went as far claiming that it was Privacy Issue and it shouldn't be treated as all other Venereal Diseases at the time were which required Case Reporting by Physicians and Contact Tracing by the Public Health Authorities.

No one watches SNL any longer. Reason: they are not funny.

I didn’t make it that far. I tuned in to watch the debates and for the first time, even they weren’t funny and were in poor taste. Tuned out during Chris Rock’s monologue.
