Actor Tom Hanks played a racist Trump supporter in a Saturday Night Live bit for the sketch show’s 50th anniversary on Sunday. The sketch resurrected the character Doug, who first made an appearance in 2016 for the Black Jeopardy! sketch. Per USA Today: Hosted as usual by Kenan Thompson’s Darnell, this version of “Black Jeopardy!” featured Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan and Eddie Murphy, who was showing off a Tracy Morgan impression that was almost better than the real thing. Or actually one of the best bits Murphy’s done in the last decade. Tom Hanks made an appearance as Doug, the...

This weekend marked the 50th anniversary of the “Saturday Night Massacre,” a heroic but doomed attempt by President Richard M. Nixon to halt the runaway tyranny of the deep state, the judiciary, and the corporate media before it could usurp fully the government of the people of the United States of America. The episode, like the Watergate scandal as a whole, has been entirely distorted in American memory, with Nixon miscast in the very role of his opponents: a man gone mad with power, an aspiring despot with no regard for the Constitution. It was, in most tellings, the moment...

Biden, speaking about his administration’s commitment to move away from fossil fuels, stated at one point that “we are going to need oil at least for another decade” before being interrupted by a cacophony of uproarious laughter. Take a look below as Biden once again proves how clueless these folks are: As independent commentator Clay Travis pointed out on Twitter, every...

In light of Kamala Harris stating that if elected, she would indict Trump, if Saturday Night Live was a balanced show (which it is not) it would have skit showing a debate among the Democrat presidential candidates in which they try to top each other in claiming what they would do to Trump if they got elected. Any suggestions of what should be in the skit would be appreciated here.
