In our new topsy turvy world SNL is actually impacting a branch of government more than journalists. What in the what what.

 

[encephalon]

Someone get Rosie O'Donnel on the phone.

Please.

 

[jellies_two]

It's not a ban.

You said ban!

... the gypsies and the lezzos and the duhBeeewwwwwuhhha (makes trump cruel face).YOUR WORDS THESE WERE YOUR WORDS

Satire always gets under dictators' skins the most. That's pretty universal.

They want to be BIG and STRONG and POWERFUL and people making fun of them reminds them that they're just little boys on a playground still

 

[Ithil]

There's no one, not even Obama, that Trump hates more than Rosie O Donnell, so forever associating Bannon with her in his mind is actually a smart tactic.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Please.

She's waiting for the call

Rosie O Donnel on SNL has got to happen. She's probably Trump's most hated person in the world and her making fun of him would devastate him!

 

[watershed]

We always knew this was one of Trump's many weaknesses, that he can't take a joke and hates being ridiculed. SNL needs to exploit their power and damage Trump as much as possible. Bring on Rosie!

 

[eyeball_kid]

Oh yeah, this has been going on for a damn long time. I can remember back to Dana Carvey's George H.W. Bush days...not sure about before that. Not sure why Trump would think he's immune.

They've been making fun of Presidents since the beginning of SNL. Chevy Chase used to do skits as Gerald Ford. I think the late Phil Hartman used to do Reagan. Trump is just the first one in 40 years to get personally offended by a comedy sketch.

 

[UberTag]

KellyAnne should be the new press secretary.

I doubt very much that Kellyanne wants that job. She gets enough scrutiny over her BS remarks already just from venues where she's able to pick her spots.

Thats a good point. Fucking SNL.

 

[sazzy]

The problem with anyone playing Bannon is that Bannon doesn't have a public persona.

This is why I think SNLs depiction of Bannon as a masked and hooded (hence unknown, but destructive) figure went down so well.

I like the idea of her doing qoutes of stupid racist shit he's said with citations.

Gerald Ford's Press Secretary Ron Nesson hosted SNL in 1976

Problem is that Bannon himself has talked about Darth Vader / Satan / etc in good terms so making him Death probably fuels him. Might as well make him weak, too.

Make Trump his bitch like they are now, but have Rosie play him. So Bannon is played by their most hated person, and AlecTrump subservient to her.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Rosie as Bannon would be amazing, with a leash around Alec's neck. Trump'll explode.

Now THIS would be incredible.

Just add Hillary in makeup as Putin and he would be unable to look at either Vlade or Steve anymore without going insane.

 

[Kunan]

Rosie potentially getting involved sounds like magic in the making!

 

[Hale-XF11]

For real, she could very easily play Bannon.

omg, please make this happen

I thought that was lazy, to be honest. Depicting him as the Grim Reaper made Bannon look like a cartoon character instead of incredibly dangerous. SNL did a much better job making Cheney seem evil back in the day.

 

[Dai101]

Rosie's on board LOL

https://twitter.com/Rosie/status/828792995591888896

OH MY GOD, YES!

Damn, Rosie O'Donnell can actually do Bannon, she kinda does look like him. Some makeup and it would work. They HAVE to do it.

Trump will send the feds at them!

Off the GAF shit list this week: Melissa McCarthy, Kanye and maybe..... Rosie?

Now now. Let's not get too carried away.

 

[inner-G]

Now I wish it was McCarthy playing Trump.

Nah they should get Rosie O'Donnell as Bannon first

 

[Woo-Fu]

Makes you wonder what Trump expected from Spicer when he sent him out to lie through his teeth at the very first press conference. Not trying to give Spicer any credit here but talk about being set up to fail.

 

[Maxim726X]

This is the party that blasts liberals for being weak and easily offended, right?

It's amazing. Such fucking babies.

 

[george_us]

Trump might be out by March if the media keeps this up. Not even a month in and his cabinet is already shook over a comedy sketch.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Oh, grow up, POTUS. (if true)

holy shit if they can pull that off.

Bannon would be unemployed by Monday morning.

[Lorcain]

They should make all members of the Trump's crew (i refuse to call them an administration) be portrayed by women now. That'll just force everyone to resign.

I love this idea. Do it SNL! If this truly is what bothered him the most, let's go all in.

 

[Loxley]

Yeah, Rosie O'Donnell as Bannon pretty much has to happen at this point.

 

[kaching]

Always be projecting.

 

[Already Torn]

Oh, come on.

Watch this gets Spicer fired.

Hits a little too close to home considering Trump doesn't have enough male hormones to grow facial hair.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Someone get Rosie O'Donnel on the phone.

Would pay money to see that, just imagine how furious he'd be if she was impersonating him on a major stage like SNL

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

haha!! What a bunch of babies. I hope SNL does Bannon next. Can't wait for the tears after that one.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

In retrospect, just how much did this get under POTUS' skin

 

[Holtz]

https://twitter.com/Rosie/status/828817401718439939

Oh my god. It's happening isn't it?

 

[Already Torn]

Probably not at all because it's not on TV

Please be true

 

[Nepenthe]

"When it comes to these decisions, the Constitution gives our President lots o power, and Steve Bannon is the key ad-visor. And our President will knot be de-turd in his fight against radical moose lambs."

I fucking cried.

 

[Pastry]

If Rosie is Bannon then Alicia Machado needs to play Melania

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Morning Joe isn't going to do a segment on Sweden, that's for sure. Jake Tapper might.

 

[Dreez]

I wonder how the journalists get these tidbits. Over drinks at a DC bar?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

"'Trump doesn't like his people to look weak,' added a top Trump donor."

But he has no qualms about them (or him really) looking a fool and a liar. Gotcha.

Now I wish it was McCarthy playing Trump.

All-female cast. Except for his wife and Conway, who would be men in drag, with the exception of Putin (mandatory toplessness, you know).

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Barron is a prolific tweeter. Runs in the family.

 

[The Kree]

Imagine if every time Trump tried to do something reasonable Bannon hit him over the head with a rolled up newspaper.

 

[NastyBook]

That was Melissa McCarthy? Whoa...

Brilliant

Right? She fucking nailed it. Skit was hilarious.

Radical Moose Lambs!

 

[BrutishMrFish]

If Rosie is Bannon then Alicia Machado needs to play Melania

Oh my god.

 

[watershed]

This has been an especially leaky administration so far, I imagine because there are people in the WH who don't think Trump should be president.
