SNL - Putin comes down the chimney!

[flamingdem]

Brilliant! Plus John Goodman as Tillerson!

[TDale313]

1. This was fantastic.

Trump is gonna be *so* pissed 😄

[flamingdem]

2. He's itching to make a comment on the unpresidented gaffe

That one has legs, nuk nuk, plus the Vanity Fair kerfuffle, tee hee.

[progressoid]

10. Tweet time!

[Lifelong Protester]

3. 'I love them both"

[lame54]

4. Spoiler

[C Moon]

11. :D

[question everything]

5. This was great

I hope that Alec Baldwain will stay throughout Trump presidency.

John Goodman was great as Tillerson, "talking" to Putin about "black and crude" to which "Trump" responded: oh, black and crude, I know Kenya West

[moondust]

6. Very, very great.

Very great job as Putin and Tillerson talking oil business in front of clueless Twitler.

[applegrove]

7. Very good.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. "If a person you don't know came from a foreign country and just starts flattering you..."

[Crash2Parties]

9. SNL has reached the point where Poe's just kicks in quietly without notice...

[gordianot]

12. Trump fears ridicule more than the law, CIA, or threats to the nation.

He may not tweet this time but he was sure to notice. If someone really wants to set him off do it about failure it is the first comment when he is angry. The bit about not getting entertainment for the inauguration may get more rage than the Putin observation.

[flamingdem]

13. Yes, that one had to sting

bigly! 😂

[msongs]

14. so funny. had to laugh several times. too bad its not just a dream nt

[uponit7771]

15. +1

[Cha]

24. That's right, gordianot.. I was thinking when

they did that.. that dump might go on tear to see if he could upgrade his entertainment by any means necessary.

[Hortensis]

16. "Lorne Michaels, the creator and executive producer of S.N.L.,

has not directly addressed Mr. Trump’s criticisms. In a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, Mr. Michaels said he believes the show speaks to a wide range of political affiliations. “We’ve actually tried to make ‘S.N.L.’ a safe space across the political spectrum,” Mr. Michaels said."

That is a very good thing, but, gee, I'd love to see skits-that-could-have-been about Trump voters.

[hatrack]

25. Check out "Black Jeopardy" with Tom Hanks

Back in October - really funny, and operating on multiple levels.

[sarcasmo]

28. The Black Jeopardy bit with Tom Hanks was the best skit this season.

[mfcorey1]

17. Brilliant! Give the writers a "whistleblower award"!LOL!!!!!

[madokie]

18. SNL has become must watch tv

I remember back in '75 when we'd all gather on a saturday night and party while watching. Hell that might have been when tv's starting to first appear in Bars.

[LeftInTX]

29. We had one functioning TV in the college dorm - LOL

[madokie]

31. and if I was a betting man I'd bet thats where you all gathered on Saturday night

if I was a betting man that is

Those were the days, were they not?

As I've heard said if you remember the '70s you didn't live them well I still remember some and I sure did live them

[oberliner]

19. Wow, Goodman has lost a lot of weight

Alec Baldwin now seems to be the heavier of the two.

[awoke_in_2003]

30. I was going to say

that he's looking pretty good. I hope it adds some years to his life.

[Justice]

20. SNL not holding back!

[DLevine]

21. Good stuff! I hope they never let up. nt

[Achilleaze]

22. Where is the dumb whiney tweet from Comrade Casino (R) ?

Is Trump going to FAIL to whine about this week's skit?

How un-pretzeldential of him.

[Cha]

23. Hope dumphuck likes it.. brawaaaa

con-way.. master illusionist. lol

1/2 dressed putin as Santa Claus brilliant! ETA.. called him The Manchurian Candidate. true story. And, the entertainment list was especially insulting.

Thank you, flamingdem

[flamingdem]

26. I woke up less depressed today thinking

we're going to survive these four years with humor. At least we've got that!

[mcar]

27. Was excellent!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

32. I hope that Trump saw it and the attacks on his screwed up priorities...

... sinks in, but I doubt it.

Trump cares about Trump. If he's ever convinced that Putin isn't serving his personal interests anymore, he'll turn on him... maybe too much so!

Trump doesn't keep friends unless they're helping him.

As far as Schwartz could tell, Trump spent very little time with his family and had no close friends. In “The Art of the Deal,” Trump describes Roy Cohn, his personal lawyer, in the warmest terms, calling him “the sort of guy who’d be there at your hospital bed . . . literally standing by you to the death.” Cohn, who in the fifties assisted Senator Joseph McCarthy in his vicious crusade against Communism, was closeted. He felt abandoned by Trump when he became fatally ill from AIDS, and said, “Donald pisses ice water.” Schwartz says of Trump, “He’d like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they weren’t. It wasn’t personal. He’s a transactional man—it was all about what you could do for him.”
