Excellent. Keep making his people look like fools and they'll make themselves look even more like fools.
We need to wear this administration down.
Yeah. The pop culture reaction robs them of what they desperately desire: legitimacy.There's been a lot of talk lately about how risiliant American institutions are to resisting authoritarianism. This talk usually revolves around congress, federal judges... mostly political checks and balances.
But I think one all-American check on power might be the world of popular entertainment. Seeing SNL land such a scathing blow to power this weekend makes me realize this is a far more resistant-to-control country than the likes of Putin's Russia.
There's no way authoritarianism comes to town without pop culture kicking and screaming and entertaining us along the way. This is motherfucking America.
That would make nukes on US soil happen like instantly.I like the suggestion in one of the replies that asks her to play Ivanka. That may actually make Trump even more pissed off.
It's depressingly funny that we're tossing around ideas to troll the leader of the free world and most of them are virtually guaranteed to get Twitter replies from him.
Imagine if Obama was so thin skinned and devoted time to all this Twitter shit during the first month of his term. Lawwwd.

I changed my mind, Rosie O'Donnell should play Trump.
bannon will drop spicer.
then trump will drop bannon.
then the wolves will circle.
Similar with Bannon just being the grim reaper, it does a better job at getting it's point across and forming an opinion in the audience's minds than Baldwins bang-on Trump impression.
That's amazing. They need to find a woman to play Donald Trump, too. He would crack up.
Now I wish it was McCarthy playing Trump.
This. We're talking about a party what was conned into fetishising Putin just to make Obama look weak (although they probably regret it now).Didn't Bannon compare himself to vader / satan? Portraying him as a grim reaper or something like that only empowers him. He needs to be shown as a weak and pathetic.
It's either some WH aide. Or Conway herself is leaking this shit. It's gotta be someone with top access to him.
Now, the real question is whether they make Bannon look weak or make it look like he controls Trump, like the organ-grinder to Trump's monkey. I don't know if Trump's ego could take that.
"Trump doesn't like his people to look weak," added a top Trump donor.
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but bouldering laughter.
That said I didn't actually think either sketch was that funny outside of 'ha I bet Trump is fuming', SNL runs the risk of falling into his orbit, centering what they do on the guy they hate rather than just being funny, which is really exactly what he wants.
Might I remind everyone that Politico is a garbage-heap, unverifiable rumor mill that blows "anonymous sources" up for a story whenever possible.
was the obama administration this sensitive ?
That is Not what the gop told meThe Obama administration was run by adults.
Confirmation bias at work.Most of the "rumors" in this story have already been verified. It's completely consistent with Trump's previous behavior.
We would never hear the end of it from the gopIt's depressingly funny that we're tossing around ideas to troll the leader of the free world and most of them are virtually guaranteed to get Twitter replies from him.

So. What I'm getting from this is that they need to recast Trump as a woman.
What if they did a digital short and had Rosie play Trump AND Bannon.

SpicerWhere have these rumors been verified?
This will be glorious.
Amazing how a President gets annoyed just because a show mocks him and his cronies.

Has the government any means of stopping or blocking SNL by pressuring the channel is on?
I remember it happening one time in Spain, with the humoristic show CQC that talked about politics with interviews stopped airing despite being a hit in ratings right after the show added a secton to talk about the president's wife.
