It would be funnier if it was meaner. For now they're still playing too nice. I want to see South Park levels of malice, and then I want to see worse.

“Possible hot take: they need to be meaner in these cold opens. The first cold opens of the season had the kind of piss and vinegar that we need. Colin’s part just now was the only impression from that sketch that felt like it met the moment” - my comment in the live thread from last night. Looks like we’re thinking in the same vein

"When asked why he buried his Ex-wife on his golf course, Trump replied: I just wanted to remember when I killed her."

He really couldn’t sue because he would be exposing himself to discovery to demonstrate that the claim is libel. A true claim can’t be libelous. I doubt the network wants to deal with that slug on its back though

He's proven that even when a judge compels him for evidence he can ignore it without consequence. He's also proven that he will leverage his power over broadcasters to extort money or to satisfy a grudge.

Trump getting snl cancelled wouldn’t even faze the maga mouth breathers. I think the worst part of that would be the hypocrisy

I don’t even know where you get this pedophile nonsense from.

u/Plaid_Kaleidoscope Jan 19 '26

Really? No idea at all? Couldn't be his obvious and proven direct ties to a massive pedo ring. Couldn't be his documented behavior over the last 30+ years. Definitely couldn't be his case with E. Jean Carroll where he was convicted of sexual abuse.

Don't play coy and pretend like there's nothing there to make connections with. Why do y'all still defend this piece of shit?

u/TheChucklingOfLot49 Jan 19 '26

More like nonce-sense, am I right?

You know, because of all the credible evidence that the president is not just a rapist but also a pedophile and close friend of prolific child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

More aggressive in white blue?

SNL hasn’t had a Norm level comedian for quite sometime.
