I haven't been a fan of SNL for 20+ years and usually find it rather "unfunny" and lame

A test to see if you still have a sense of humor. Delicate Donny vs. SNL

Alec Baldwin as The Donald on SNL has been, in my personal opinion, quite uneven.  Sometimes funny, sometimes not, but never outright hilarious.  Last night, however, was a home run of hilarity.  But, so far, no tweets from Delicate Donny.  See what you think of this one....

This clip was a bit funnier than most, but I think it was funny "in spite" of Alec Baldwin, not because of him. I don't remember the cast member's name as I rarely if ever watch the show, but the Putin character did a GREAT Putin. Balwin was kind of meh, in comparison.  

I will agree, Trump tweeting about them is like engaging LTM in "debate" all it does is give them a semblance of credibility and is EXACTLY what SNL is hoping for. Quite frankly SNL has been on a downward slide since the 80's and I doubt that I have watched more than a half dozen complete shows in the last 20+ years.

BTW, I didn't watch the show so the only skit I have seen was the opening you linked. I have no idea if the rest of the show was funny, somehow I kind of doubt it.

When U.S. interests are in play...

Why are the actions of a individual/nation a factor in securing those U.S. interests?

Seems like a illogical conclusion, based upon feelings.

EM, is a U.S. interest, even if EM drills the artic, sells all the oil to Chinese refineries(who else would they sell to?) That would benefit EM/U.S. interests.

Vern, I really hate it when you pull this kind of crap

PLEASE remember your place here as the Village Idiot and perennial SPOTY contender and quit making these occasional cogent posts.

and talk about hypocrisy, this is the same type of thing happening in NC right now, with the outgoing administration trying to dictate to and strip the incoming administration of their power to govern the way they see fit.

Not to mention, the Ukrainians themselves are largely sick and tired of being ruled by the Ukrainian Oligarchy and do not look at the Russians as invaders. We have many other places where we are legitimately at odds with Russia, I believe and hope that Trump and Tillerson are smart enough to use the Ukraine and the sanctions as bargaining chips to get concessions on issues much more aligned with our own national interests.

I agree

Exxon is not in the business of caring about us. Only we give a shit about us.

 
Everything you said is a non sequitur, if all they care about is profit they are going to have their financial interests in mind. Therefore they are not going to fuck up their/U.S. interests.

they are a business with a single goal of making their shareholders money

That's funny,I like the Alec Baldwin as The Donald...

But in general, I was NEVER been big on SNL,even when it premiered in the 70's...just wasn't my thing.

I liked it. Hilarious wouldn't be the term that I use but...

...I thought it was funny. John Goodman's appearance was welcomed surprise and his interaction with "Putin" was right on the money. I still think that Alec Baldwin is overdoing it though.  

A side note: tomorrow after electors' vote we'd find out how serious democrats were about that whole Russian hacking thing. My guess is that on Tuesday they'd start seriously toning things down

Re: Then why do they do everything I mentioned?

Democrats just represent another brand of the same energy products.

Are you dumb, just look at SNL's carbon footprint.
Posted By: Laffy
 
 Oil spills.......water catching on fire......mass pollution.......  
   
 Heck, they even push us into war to get oil when we should be investing in solar and other energy.  
   
 If we had taken the trillion plus we flushed down the toilet in Iraq and invested it in new technology, we'd all have solar powered cars by now.

Along those same lines, it would not surprise me if Trump doesn't shift a bit as well Tuesday

I agree that all but the most rabid Dems will start toning it down and that Trump once he is secure in office will start to concede the intelligence agencies weren't all wrong.

I think it was unrealistic for Trump to be expected to call for inquiries that would be completely contrary to his own interests of becoming POTUS until AFTER the electoral college confirms the election results and makes it official. Any one who thinks Hillary, or any other politician would have called a "foul" on themselves is an idiot. This is not the PGA, where honor rules, this is politics.

Trump OTOH is not an idiot, he knows he has to work with these various intelligence agencies and I am sure he is going to take steps in that direction, but only AFTER he is secure in the fact that no one is going to try to steal the election from him.

Why would other nations take us seriously...

If we don't take ourselves seriously?

I don't think it a who cares.

It's a what difference does it make?

The hacking of emails has no impact on the voting process.

To honestly believe that's what is going on.

I think Alec Baldwin is funny . I think it's funny how easy it to set him off on one of his public

meltdowns .  Just once I wish I could see him in a bar or restaurant with a chick so I could walk by their table scratching my balls .

This different skit last night was actually funny.

As previously mentioned, Baldwin overplays and misdirects his caricature of DJT.

Your hero needs a miracle tomorrow.

Or will the Clinton Foundation just pay off the electors? Keep hope alive!!

What's most interesting however is that nobody would know...

...the results of what happens tomorrow until about January 6. Imagine if on that date we all find out that Trump didn't make it to 270? True, a highly unlikely scenario but think of what you would've thought if year-n-half ago I'd have told you that your next president would be Donald Trump?  

I think that taking all this into account the Congress is going to move the counting ballots day up, maybe even to before the New Years. Crazier things have happened and with all that Russian connection and with Cold War sentiments are still very much alive, if not dominant in America, the Congress would do the right thing if it counts electoral ballots sooner rather then later. It would be better for the country if not for the world and it would certainly be better for Trump.  

In any case, even in such a far fetched scenario there is absolutely zero chance that if it's not Trump it would be HRC.  
Imagine, Laffy, if it's not Trump and they all end up voting for... Ted Cruz! A-ha-ha-ha-ha! A-ha-ha-ha-ha!

You find it funny Laff because if they're Trumpanzee, you're...

...the nothing more then the other side of the coin.  

You're so much of a prisoner inside a "Lefty" hyper tunnel that "if Bernie would stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody you'd still vote for him", especially if that somebody ends up being one of the "Righty Retards".  

Everything which is anti-Trump would be funny for you Laff, just because it's anti-Trump, even if it's not funny.  
I like Alec Baldwin. I think he's a good actor. When I find out that he is in a movie that's another reason for me to see it rather then not. But I will go out on the limb here and say that I've never seen AB acting as poorly as in these SNL skits.  
The cornerstone of Stanislavskian system of acting to which he (and 99% of today's other actors) adheres is not to overact. He has so many characteristics to be a great Trump - his size, his face, his New York self (not to be underestimated) and he just ruins it by overexaggerating again and again.  

Come to think of it, maybe the fact that Alec himself is a New Yorker makes it difficult for him to imitate another New Yorker? Something to ponder

An Evil Trump or Greedy Trump would play far more true to form than Idiot Trump.

SNL's inclusion of Egotistical Trump is not bad but Trump is no idiot. All good humor must have an element of truth. Ad hominen insults just to be mean only play well with those that are predisposed to hate or think low of someone.

And once again your own bigotry shines bright in your description of me.

I knew it was a mistake responding to you.

You don't even know the difference between stupidity and ignorance.

Even after reminding you of your bigotry, what do you do? Double down. You can't find a single comment I've ever made that even comes close to be complementing or supporting Trump. Just the opposite.

You really can't help yourself, can you?

Could you be any stupider? Understanding simple sarcasm is beyond you, it seems.

That's pretty much all he does.  Except for this
