So, is their whole shtick now just making political jokes?

So, is their whole shtick now just making political jokes?

Don't get me wrong, Trump is an idiot, but can they cover something else... like they used to?

What's the matter, triggered? Haha, BTFO!

SNL for its entire 30+ year history has always gotten its highest ratings when it was political. Through every single presidential scandal

Can you read?

>Trump is an idiot,
He wins, you lose. Always.

That doesn't mean it's good.

But it means people besides you think its good and want to watch it

They can't make fun of daddy like that >:(
we love daddy trumpy

Why are you still watching then? Why don't you go out on Saturday nights?

Most people are fucking stupid.

>implying I don't

Do you not understand that the fact that it even exists is a crime?

Are you underage?

SNL has always been political, especially when you have a President as easy to mock and as hated as the one we have now.

>SNL has always been political


Not an excuse.

>Trump is an idiot
Trump is more intelligent than every single person on the cast of SNL and you. Stay mad smallbrain :^)

>subjective

But the "scandal" was fabricated wholecloth by the very likes of SNL. There literally is no scandal.

No shit, that's why he's the president.

People are really into politics now, why wouldn't they tap into that?

>complaining about something other people like
>they're stupid

Nobody thinks they themselves are dumb. Most people are also able to have sex and have friends. Are you sure they're stupid and not you?

There are such things as wrong opinions.

No, they're smarter, sitcock XDD

He's not really hated though. The MSM is actually hated and they're the ones telling you Trump is hated. Really activates the almonds.

>People are really into politics now
Social media wars and virtue signaling is not politics.

Taking money from and colluding with a foreign power to undermine the US democracy was not manufactured by SNL

This

>Having a social life means people are smart.

Bullshit aside, you know I'm right. Most people are fucking stupid. You're just being contrarian.

>A show doing what they've always done over the 40 years it's on tv is not an excuse for making political jokes

What?

Maximum projection.

I-impeachment coming a-any day now, Drumpfkins

Why did SNL never ever even attempt to poke fun at Hussein Obama?

No, it was fabricated by the DNC. SNL et al only proliferated the false narrative.

Yes. Also, they never did it to this degree. Hence the point of the thread. It's literally ALL they do now.

Politics should be reserved for the news.

Because that's racist. Diversity is our strength

Humans are social animals. Not being able to do something basic like interact with other people is only excusable historically if you are making 100+ year contributions to humanity through serious research.

You wouldn't be shitposting on Sup Forums if you were

All relevant people who have the information have stated multiple times that there is no Trump-Russia collusion. Your sides own leaders are saying there is no collusion (including Senator Feinstein). So, does Alec Baldwin and Stephen Colbert know something that Obama's DNI director doesn't know?

>Trump is an idiot

i know right, he's such a loser who hasn't accomplished anything, not like us

He did some shitty stuff politcally, things you could understand the reason for but disagreed with. But he was the only president in the past 40 years without a major scandal. The last democratic president was constantly made fun of on SNL

Surely this will mean the end of his campaign

The head writer of SNL was asked this in an interview. His answer was that Obama was "a perfect specimen. An obsidian rock that is unclimbable." It was the most gayest Freudian slip I've ever heard.

>implying

Why is everything black or white with you people? You can shitpost on Sup Forums and have a social life.

Would it surprise you if I said I was married and had 2 kids?

You act as if only one type of person can be on Sup Forums.

>>>reddit

Quotes from officials saying this would be appreciated. Because literally both houses of congress and the FBI are investigating this and if that was definitely true there wouldn't even be one investigation. Especially in a government where everything is controlled by the president's party. There were 7 Benghazi investigations for fucks sake once the republicans got into power

>lowest approval ratings of any president in history
>Highest disapproval ratings of any president in history
>lost the popular vote by more than 3 million votes

And that's how I know I've won.

Yes, here is your reddit gold. Upvoted!

How much of that is fueled by social media and the mob mentality, though?

I'm not saying he's a good president by any means, but hating Trump is a very popular thing right now and you how most people in this country are sheep.

Exactly, he might have been shitty but he was also boring and there was nothing to really make fun of.

Trump is literally the president. He's a multi-billionaire, former CEO of a business named after him including several casinos and hotels in some of the most expensive real estate on earth. Literally lives in a tower in New York called Trump tower and y'all have the balls to call him an idiot baka look in the mirror

>But he was the only president in the past 40 years without a major scandal.
It not being covered or mentioned by SNL doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Fast and Furious.

IRS being used to target political rivals

Benghazi

James Rosen

Kathleen Sebelius

Pigford Scandal

General Services Administration

And so on.

The one thing they did cover was the Sub-Prime mortgage bailout in a 2008 skit. But that episode has since been censored.

This is Obama's DNI director, James Clapper, under oath saying there is no collusion between Trump-Russia. The DNI oversees all intelligence agencies, including the FBI. Also, the FBI is not investigating a Trump-Russia collusion case. They are investigating to what extent Russia interfered in our elections. Hillary's people are actually the ones under investigation for thier ties to Russia. You are falling for media misdirection.

>big list of things that were investigated and the people actually at fault if there was any fault were punished for

People are talking more about politics than they've done in years, and yes, some of it is online and some of it is dumb, but that doesn't diminish it, we're seeing people show up at protests in numbers that are reaching record breaking figures in some cases.

Resist Drumfkins! Impeachment is on it's way! Hillary will be president! Everyone is against you drumpftards!

James Clapper also said in the Yates hearing he was unaware of Comey's investigation

>quoting polls in current year
>muh 3 million
I wonder if Colbert ever informed you that minus California, Trump won the popular vote? Did you know that California has no voter id laws? I bet SNL didn't inform you of that? See what happens when you get your news from comedy shows?

That's because there is no Comey investigation, you moron. Do you not understand the semantics game that the MSM is playing on you? You poor thing.

They did make fun of him. Time to get out of your echo chamber.

If you remove Texas, Hillary won the popular vote and electoral college.

>There was no investigation being done by Comey

Im sure looking up MSM will make me as dumb as you

Yeah, it's hilarious when someone says "but at least he had no scandals!!!".

Jeff Sessions looks like a saint compared to Obama's AG appointees, one of which was held in contempt of Congress. Lois Lerner taking the 5th after it was found the IRS was politicized to target conservative groups. Snowden revealing the mass proliferation of domestic spying, about which DNI Clapper lied under oath to Congress. Solyndra bailout. There's actually tons of shit that got swept under the rug because >muh hope and change

>if you do this then Trump really is loved, see

This is factually incorrect statement. Texas is only 31 electoral votes. Trump won by 77 electoral votes.

You have to be particularly bad at your job to get Trump's figures this early. Even W. after the mess with the votes of his first win had him be at a higher approval rate. The first 100 days is your typical honeymoon phase, when you usually are at your highes in approval. Then they just tend to go down.

No they're smarter lawlz

MSM means mainstream media. Are you that out of the loop?

mother theresa would struggle to break 50% approval ratings if almost all media outlets would run a smear campaign on her.

>if you move the goalposts far enough, the outcome would be different
Wow, my almonds are cooked!

People that use that term so much they need to abbreviate it, only read sources that confirm what they already believe

>maybe if I pretend to not like trump I won't seem like a triggered drumpftard
television comedy has been political since the 70s you underage redditor kys

>texas only has 31 votes

Trumptards everyone.

>still citing polls after Brexit/2016 election

He has nobody but himself to blame for it. If he wasn't constantly attacking the press and repeatedly get caught lying about shit there would be no dirt to "smear" him with.

The only places the polls were wrong was WI, MI, and PA.

Every place else was either right or within the margin of error.

Yeah, that's usually the case, but liberals are still in the anger/denial stages of grief from the election so Trump never got a honeymoon. Obama was as low as 41% and had a lower average approval rating than Nixon and Dubya even with constant media shilling. That's why the GOP was able to steal all of those senate, house, and local govt seats back.

Also if he didn't surround himself with people that were taking payments from foreign governments

>read sources that confirm what they already believe
I get the news straight from the sources. You know you can watch congressional hearings on Cspan right? You can read actual documents. You don't have to rely on rachel Maddow to interpret it for you.

If you are blind to the media's rabid bloodlust for Trump, then you are truly hopeless. The MSM has gone off the deep end and it's why nobody watches them any more. But hey congrats on those "record ratings" of 2 million people in a country of 365+ million.

36. Point still stands. The absolute state of liberal arguments right now.

Public hearings are an extremely small of the current discourse. Freedom of the press is important because they investigate and get sources that have information they could be punished politically for if spoken in publicly. The stuff they can say publicly they go on record with and on tv shows with

The "scandal" in question is the entire Trump administration up to this point. The entire thing has been a train wreck so far, even ignoring the Russia probe.

He was attacking the press because they were all out to get him. This is not a chicken and egg scenario. The media is already embarrassingly biased against conservatives, and the treatment they gave Trump reached a breaking point.

Btw- Trump did what conservatives have wanted conservative politicians to do for decades: fight back against the liberal propaganda machine.

he didn't start attacking the press untill like half into the campaign when the media has already estabilised him as literally hitler. there is always dirt to be ''found'' unless your rhetoric is 100% PC and you don't confront any problems. they were calling him a racist for pointing out that illegal immigrants commit more crimes than normal citizens for fuck's sake.

>but liberals are still in the anger/denial stages of grief from the election so Trump never got a honeymoon.

That kinda destroys the talking point that most of America actually loves Trump and liberals are just a noisy minority.

But normal citizens commit more crime.

>sources
Their unverified sources that always ended up being wrong is what lead to the decline of trust in media. You could say the media has nobody to blame but themselves. I think the piss dossier was the final nail in the coffin.

I think liberals are more of a presence than most people realize.

Read the entire thread before commenting, faggit.

Thank God for Texas

>cover something else... like they used to?
They never "covered" anything. They just pulled sketches out of their asses.

So far every source of information about the Russian investigation has been proven right. Directly (Manafort and Flynn took money from the Russians) and indirectly (Trump's reason for firing Comey was personal anger and not the letter from Rosenstein)

>lets import a criminal underclass because we already have crime
One of the dumber liberal talking points.

i forgot to add proportionally for the brainlets out there

>the piss dossier was the final nail in the coffin.
You mean the one that most major outlets knew about for months but didn't report on because they knew it was bullshit? And when it did end up in the news, it was just "Well Buzzfeed posted about this and it stinks to high heaven, we won't even publish any details of it." Get your head out of your ass trumpcuck.

Importing a group of people that commit less crime makes the crime rate go down.

Nothing has been "proven" about Flynn. What are you even talking about? You do realize the piss dossier was written on Sup Forums, right? You poor thing, please stop watching Colbert. It's bad for you.

I already did, just educating your ignorant ass over what everyone is mocking.

But thats still not true. Most illegal immigrants go out of their way not to commit crime because they don't want to be deported, they just want to work.

You seem to forget proportions, friend.

>artificially expand the population (a population that relies mostly on welfare)
>dude at least the overall rate went down
Liberal logic

Flynn took money from Russia. There are literal pictures of him at a Russian speaking event with him on stage and sitting next to Putin. He didn't report any of that
