SNL - It's a Wonderful Trump Cold Open

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) gets his wish to have never been president granted and sees how the lives of Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller), Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon), Robert Mueller (Robert De Niro) and more have changed in an alternate reality.

Can I just say how much I appreciate these posts? Thanks, sister!

2. Thanks so much, Glamrock!

I started posting these for the same reason I started posting Colbert, etc. I know that a lot of DUers don't stay up as late as I do - and some don't have cable or TV - and I figured that we need humor here now more than ever, so I started posting political humor where we can find it. It sure has helped me get through these times...

3. And I totally totally appreciate it.

Sitting through an hour and abhalf for 3 or 4 actually funny skits just ain't worth my time. Again thank you.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I know - some are really good, some definitely are not...

I wait for the Cold Open, since that's the reliably political one - and you never know who's going to show up, LOL. And Weekend Update. Other than that, I see what's on offer. And I missed half of Weekend Update since I changed the channel during Miley Cyrus.

17. Apparently Trump stays up and watches.

5. Great cold open!

Thanks Rhiannon! If only it were true and Trump was just dreaming this all up!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I know! I was really hoping for a different ending!

7. Thanks so much for sharing!

I appreciate your posts too! Cheers!

8. Awww, thanks!

The Cold Open is always the high point of the show - you never know who's going to show up!

9. That was a tricky

storyline but they pulled it off!

Happy Holidays!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I agree, I wasn't sure where they were going with this, LOL

And they got in their special guests, too, always a welcome addition!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday, as well!

11. I hope that hit the orange asshole hard...

"So everyone wants me to be president?" "No, you missed the point completely"

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I was just glad to see Alec Baldwin back - he really is irreplaceable as Trump...

[Dennis Donovan]

13. I was starting to wonder, too

...if his recent arrest had any bearing on whether he'd return or not.

14. I think this is the second time after Alec's "issue" that he's been on SNL

If I recall correctly, he referenced the problem in his first appearance.

16. Yes, he did.

At this point, his temper is well known and documented. But he's so talented that it doesn't affect his career.

15. That was great. Thanks! nt

20. I love the fact that trump was upset by this skit

22. Good! I hope it eats a hole in his massive gut

The same gut that he uses to make important decisions.

What a deal! The producers, writers and performers get to live rent-free in Drumpf property (his tiny, little, infantile mind). OK, it's a vastly overvalued property, but then... what's new?

23. IKR.. trump wants to sue SNL for

telling the truth.

Not one thing they did was embellished.. in fact they down played it.

And, wouldn't you know.. trump is giving it more publicity.. he's their PR man.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. And they never made fun of any president before...

Where has he been for 40 years?? It's their stock and trade! Clumsy Ford, clueless Reagan and HW Bush became friends with Dana Carvey! And more recently, Hillary Clinton appeared alongside Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton!

21. I love the idea that Melania would no longer be melancholy once she divorces Individual 1

...or in her case, the Melon's Collie.
In A Wonderful Life, things can turn out to Be-Best.
