TFG supporters accused SNL of committing 'hate crimes' against former president in bizarre FCC compl
TFG supporters are stupid people who do NOT have a sense of humor. TFG supporters are too stupid to understand satire and have been filing some bizarre complaints with the FEC
https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/1415489393721323526
"NBC's variety show has faced threats of cancellation or Federal Communications Commission backlash since pretty much the first show aired in the mid-1970s. But angry complaints have accelerated since Donald Trump became president in 2016," reported Samson Amore.
"Most are just mad that Trump and his cabinet were the butt of mean jokes, and called on the FCC to make 'SNL' play nice," said the report. "One person from Fate, Texas, thought Trump's Secret Service should have been allowed to approve 'SNL' scripts before they aired."
One complaint accused SNL of trying to get Trump assassinated.
'The Comcast owned stations continue to malign President Trump and shows like SNL refer to assassination potential and that the President will not live more than two years (not stating why)," the complaint read. "These activities are not only uncivil toward our President, but border on treason and potentially inciting some unstable person to carry out these acts."
Another complaint sent to the FCC accused comedian Dave Chappelle of using his opening monologue to commit a "hate crime" against the former president.
Trump himself, by all accounts, was furious at being made fun of on SNL, where he was ruthlessly caricatured by Alec Baldwin. One recent report said Trump even tried to get the FCC or Federal Election Commission to "look into" whether SNL could be investigated for their jokes against him.

Beto O'Rourke, Willie Nelson give financial assistance to Texas Democrats who left the state
https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1415444778729320451Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state earlier this week in an effort to block passage of a GOP elections bill are getting financial assistance from Willie Nelson and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) as they advocate for voting rights in the nations capital.
According to the Dallas Morning News, O'Rourke, whose national profile soared in 2018 as he campaigned to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), has helped raise more than $525,000 to cover the Texas Democratic legislators' expenses during their stay in Washington, D.C.
Nelson has also donated $5,000 to the cause, the paper reports, while encouraging others to donate.
The group of Democratic state lawmakers is reportedly staying in a hotel near the White House and is expected to stay in D.C. for a month, racking up thousands of dollars in daily expenses.
The dozens of state Democrats fled Texas on Monday in an effort to deny Republicans the necessary quorum for a special legislative session, effectively delaying consideration of the elections bill.
