Hasn't SNL making fun of presidents (and election candidates) been a thing since the early 1980s? Did they expect that suddenly they would be off limits?

My oldest memory of Al Gore is that damn lock box meme because of SNL.

Chevy Chase used to do Gerald Ford

This man does his research.
As much as I don't care for McCarthy, she killed it. I have a new respect for her after that.
 
Ive only watched a few minutes of these press briefings but I thought she nailed this guy. It was a really great sketch especially if you knew about his gum thing before hand.

Hahaha Spicer got spiced.

My little pony moment was the best though. SNL shoulda made that as part of the skit.
We need an SNL segment that shows McCarthy Spicer post-conference upset that he's not respected by the media talking to imaginary ponies that only he can see that are voiced by Tara Strong and company. They encourage him to turn over a new leaf and have a positive attitude for his next conference so he'll be praised.

We then see McCarthy Spicer head out on stage wearing a Gundam outfit, asking the press corps if they're enjoying their complimentary Dippin' Dots prior to answering questions from the press where they simply double-down on disrespecting him that much more. He then flips out and guns them down only for the Trump camp to disavow it as a terrorist attack because it was not perpetrated by a Muslim or Islamic refugee.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This is almost as hilarious as the skit itself.
 
I mean he's proven that he watches it based on his tweets. And it clearly bothers him.

Just look at all his tweets about shit he has an issue with. CNN, SNL, various news sites. It's clear he reads them.

Christ someone hook him up with Netflix

then he can tweet about how awesomely ground breaking The Wire is, for about 3 months and we can all take a holiday.

It was a funny bit, but is there anything that isn't viral anymore?
Take it!

Now how the fuck do we know THIS too. Does Trump just run around bitching about SNL all day or is everything tapped and the FBI is just all 'lol, here!'

The same people that constantly bitch about "snowflakes" and "SJWs" help elect the biggest snowflake there is for president.

Do they not see the irony in that?

For a group that loves to talk about snowflakes and too much political correctness, it sure is easy to get under their skin.

It's either some WH aide. Or Conway herself is leaking this shit. It's gotta be someone with top access to him.

Because bad Presidential administrations leak like a sieve. The only way to really stop leaks in D.C. is genuine loyalty and appreciation of being part of the team. There is no team in Trump's WH. There's Trump/Miller/Bannon and everyone else. In addition, the place is still full of appointees from prior administrations, and all of them think Trump and his people are garbage.

People who suffer from the greedy exploits of big business came out in droves to elect a big businessman to the White House. It's not so much irony as low educational standards and Fox News.

Add onto that that the greater city hates him as well.

That would make for amazing material. Alec could play Trump, Rosie could play the SNL version of Trump, and Putin could watch Trump's viewing habits via hidden cameras.
 
This is who Rosie O'Donnell should play. He won't be able to look at Bannon without thinking of her.
This right here would do more to get rid of Bannon than anything anyone at CONGRESS could come up with. It seriously needs to happen for the good of the nation.
 
He should be fired. He's bugled the whole thing, and while you're kind of served a shit platter to sell you can do it better than he has. He looks totally out of place as a press secretary. There are much more qualified people to take the job.
