Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

Just tried reading Trump's Twitter feed -- unreadable! Totally predictable, not mature, and the president-elect impersonation can't get any worse. Sad

Editing to add a link to a Daily Beast story about tonight's cold open, with a video clip:

1. I thought he was busy attending Robert Mercer's

"hottest ticket in town" costume party, the one where Kellyanne Conway got herself up as a geriatric Supergirl. Must have been pretty boring if he left early to watch TV and tweet. I wish he would spend some of the spare time he thinks he has on his hands reading up on national security, protocol, current affairs, or pretty much anything.

16. The Mercers clearly sold their soul to the devil.

Exhibit A: their Cubbies win the World Series.

Exhibit B: their Trumpenstein wins the election.

[Tanuki]

23. The Cubs are owned by the Ricketts family, who also

seem to have sold their souls.

[SunSeeker]

24. Oops. It's so easy to mix up those soulless billionaire families.

The Ricketts, the Mercers, the Waltons, the Trumps...

[JHan]

2. Does he need a safe space to go cry?

[neverforget]

3. How long until SNL is taken off the air

because of "low ratings" and Baldwin is under investigation?

[NanceGreggs]

4. This is what we've sunk to ...

... a pResident-elect who is too busy watching TV shows to be bothered with daily intelligence briefings.

[dhill926]

8. so true....

jesus....

[skylucy]

5. That SNL video clip from tonight's show is hysterical! It is also

dead on. I'm in Calif. so SNL hasn't aired here yet and it is nice to watch the opener before 11:30.

[Takket]

6. Isn't it daytime in Taiwan? Shouldn't he be on the phone?

[Cha]

7. Great, highplainsdem.. I'll have to see it.. thank you for providing

the link.

[Cha]

9. That was Brilliant!!!!! ".. can I have a pic of me and mitt

where he looks like a little *****?"..

Sure did, dump.

[SHRED]

10. And soon he'll have the nuke launch codes

See how this works?

[Roy Rolling]

11. The mirror doesn't lie

Even if reflecting a liar.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. Poor Kate, she was expecting to be the President.

[Feeling the Bern]

13. Doesn't this shitgibbon have something better to do with his time?

Like scam more people out of money with a fake university, declare bankruptcy for the 100th time and grab some underage girl by her pussy?

What a fucking douchebag! And this will represent me internationally for four years.

Thanks a lot, white working class voter/white female voters/klansmen/nazis/racist/fuckwits/asshats/dipshits/upper 1%/anyone else I can't think of that this asshole pandered to.

Each one of you that voted for him, voted third party or couldn't put down the porn long enough to bother to vote. . .can kiss the hairiest part of my ass Jewish ass!

[SunSeeker]

14. LOL. I love that he gives publicity to SNL's mockery of him. nt

[Raine]

15. Since he has so much free time he should be reading his daily briefings and

learning how the goverment is suppose to run.

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. Sad!

[andym]

18. To paraphrase Lovitz on SNL many years ago: How could we have lost to this guy?

Lovitz as Dukakis on SNL after hearing George Bush Sr spew empty rhetoric said "How could I be losing to this guy?" This applied double today? How could such a knowledgeable competent person as Hillary Clinton have lost to "this" guy, who tweets out complaints at the drop of a pin.

[smirkymonkey]

19. What a whiny little bitch.

Doesn't he have anything better to do with his time?

[Gothmog]

20. Trump was tweeting during the show

Trump is too think skin to be POTUS

[pipi_k]

21. Can't figure out

what his exact game is here.


He's either genuinely annoyed at being mocked on SNL (whereby he had better get used to it, otherwise it's going to be a LOOOOONNNG 4 years for him!)

or

He's just pretending to be pissed off because he's actually pleased at getting the attention since he's shown (to me, anyway) that he doesn't much care what the attention is as long as HE gets it.


I hope it's option #1. Consolation prize, in a way. The one faintly bright spot in a gray and dirty cloud...seeing him go off the rails and sound like a huge flaming asshole every Saturday night/Sunday morning.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. This reminds me of when

Ford and GHWB complained about Chevy Chase and Martin Short impersonating them. Oh wait- that never happened because they had at least a little class.

[oberliner]

25. The Baldwin as Trump thing is actually getting old

Time to retire it in my opinion.
