(15,359 posts)this would have been totally different. Joe and his speech writer did this. I'd love to know who wrote Katies speech and coached her. A big shout out to them too! LOL

(27,475 posts)There were a couple of tik tok takes posted which were good but got the whole set with this one. All appreciated

(257,749 posts)I actually did a double take, she looked and acted so much like Katie Britt that initially I wondered if that was actually her, like when they had Nikki Haley. But then I listened and there's no way on earth that Katie Britt would say any of that - but I had to read the description to see who it was.

NEVER thought of Scarlett Johannsen and she was PERFECT.
Forgot about the Colin Jost connection.

(25 posts)Thank you for posting this! I don't need to stay up! Perfect skit.

(257,749 posts)We kept hearing that the response should be on SNL, and they took a chance and nailed it. And I make it a point to post these for those who don't stay up as late as I do.

(60,361 posts)Scarlett Johansson's takedown of Britt was so well done, I would bet that a third of Republican women wouldn't even recognize it for what it was, and half of those wouldn't detect the difference between SNL and the original.
Rhiannon12866
(257,749 posts)When I first saw her I thought that might actually be Katie Britt as Nikki Haley appeared on SNL a few weeks ago. But then I heard what she said. And I agree, Republican women would likely just see this performance as part of the same message that they heard the other night.
just do it.

(60,361 posts)No luck.

(2,289 posts)sometimes companies install and configure VPN services ONLY to encrypt intercompany comms - and there is no intent to mask location.
In this case you might have to subscribe and install your own personal VPM on your own equipment (not your companies laptop).
DFW
(60,361 posts)My lazy nature tends to prefer the latter.
Yes, our IT guys in Dallas will have installed every possible encryption and wall there is. We already got hacked once, and the ransomers tried to hold us up for $5 million. We had our stuff backed up, so we told them to shove their demands up their дубки, but it cost us a weekend of work to get current again. Now, we are backed up every few minutes, and the few attampts since then have been feeble and ineffective.
*Do NOT use Google translate for "дубки" or you will get an English translation of the same word in Ukrainian, which is "oak trees." It does NOT mean "oak trees" in Russian

(14,260 posts)The end of the skit saw a well-placed spoof of Jordan Peeles Oscar-winning racial satire Get Out, when Johansson took out a teacup and stirred it, causing Kenan Thompson to freeze with a tear falling down his face.
