I am absolutely convinced that this is almost exactly how Trump's mind works.
I don't think that Baldwin was so much playing a part as he was channeling the actual subconscious of Tangerine Hitler.
And I would bet my house that a number of the people who work closely with him have heard him mutter “I don’t care about America. This whole four-year presidency is a cash grab,” more than a few times under his breath.
Bet my house.
P.S. This segment does not really have anything to do with Donald Trump or politics, but it was by far my favorite bit from last night.,
I present to you Black Jeopardy, featuring the Black Panther.
I have seen this three times now, and it never fails to crack me up.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

The SNL cold open last night was exactly what we needed.
By far my favorite part was the reappearance of Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton, saying "Lock him up."
Especially since it echoes chants from actual protesters directed at Trump that same day.
I love the smell of Schadenfreude in the morning.

Kellyanne Conway returns to Saturday Night Live.
I am posting this simply because I love it so much.
I am in fact a huge fan of Stephen King, and just recently watched the movie "It," so this made me laugh out loud.
Kellyanne Conway as Pennywise seems almost too perfect.
Oh, I almost forgot, Alec Baldwin was back as well.
This impersonation is becoming so accurate it's almost scary.

Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon big winners for SNL at last night's Emmy Awards.
Courtesy of Slate:
Given his obsession with ratings and his television fixation, there’s a good chance Donald Trump spent his Sunday night seething in front of the TV as he watched the Emmy Awards turn him into a punching bag. (Well, mostly.) Alec Baldwin, whose much-lauded impression of Trump on Saturday Night Live earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, couldn’t resist getting in his own dig at the president, beginning his acceptance speech by saying, “I suppose I should say: At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.”
Baldwin was referencing Trump’s long-running complaint that the Emmys were somehow rigged against The Apprentice—a claim he repeated during a presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, footage of which was shown during Sunday’s ceremony. Baldwin continued his speech with another Trump burn: “I want to thank my wife. My wife and I had three children in three years, and we didn't have a child last year during the SNL season. I wonder if there's a correlation there. All you men out there, you put that orange wig on, it's birth control. Trust me.” Kudos to whoever’s job it was to keep Trump off of Twitter for the duration of the evening.
Baldwin was not the only SNL cast member to win an Emmy for their amazing portrayal of a candidate last night.
So did this incredibly talented performer.
(You will notice that Kate actually thanked Hillary whereas Alec merely mocked Trump. I think that says a lot.)
Alec Baldwin is great, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion Kate McKinnon may be one of the most talented cast members that SNL has every had in its stable.
I swear literally every time I see her onscreen she is killing it.
And her portrayal of Hillary Clinton was amazing.

Alec Baldwin returns to SNL to mock Trump's response to Charlottesville.
Courtesy of Rolling Stone:
Alec Baldwin dusted off his Saturday Night Live Donald Trump impersonation on Thursday's Weekend Update: Summer Edition. He lampooned the president's controversial response to the Charlottesville tragedy, defensive Phoenix rally and bizarre choice to stare directly at the sun during the solar eclipse.
"How about that eclipse, folks, huh?" Trump said onstage during the mock rally, wearing sunglasses. "A lot of people don't know this, but you can damage your eyes while looking at an eclipse.
"After praising the mostly white crowd as "fantastic," Trump attempted to "set the record straight" by clarifying his widely criticized response to the deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"You have a group on one side that's very bad, neo-Nazis, and you had a group on the other side' – and then I didn't say a single word after that," he said.
Must keep our sense of humor.
It is what sustained me through eight years of George W. Bush and by gosh it will sustain me through the predicted year and a half of the Trump presidency.

SNL has most successful season in decades, receives 22 Emmy nominations.
Courtesy of HuffPo:
Following its most successful season in more than two decades, “Saturday Night Live” secured 22 Emmy nominations on Thursday, the most in its decades-long history.
The NBC variety show transformed into something more over the course of its 42nd season, as millions of liberal-minded people across the country looked to Lorne Michaels and his cast to help make sense of the country’s election of President Donald Trump.
That interest was reflected in its ratings ― it was the most watched season in more than two decades ― and now in its Emmy nominations, as the show bested its previous nomination record of 16, which it set in 2011 and tied last year.
Of course Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon were nominates, for Best Comedy Supporting Actor and Best Comedy Supporting Actress.
And that was well deserved indeed.
This season was the best one I have seen in quite a long time, and those two made it a joy.
I really think that SNL did a real public service with the skits showing Trump as Putin's puppet. It's just too bad that those in the heartland thing this is all left wing propaganda.
I had a lot of favorite sketches this last season, but I think the following was my all time favorites.
Hey, it made me appreciate Hillary Clinton a lot more.

Last night SNL's cold open was not to be missed. Update!
I swear this SNL cast may be one of the most talented in the history of the show.
My favorite by far is Kate McKinnon who seems to have no limit to her abilities.
Speaking of McKinnon, I think I kind of preferred her version of Hallelujah.
SNL is now going on their summer hiatus so we will not have their help in mocking the president and his cabinet, but I am sure that there are many others up to the challenge.
Update: Most watched season finally since 2011.

Crazed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones wants to fight Alec Baldwin and "break his neck."
Courtesy of Raw Story:
“You want to sit there and defame me and the president?” Jones continued. “Get in the ring with me, I will break your jaw in seconds. I will smash your nose into a bloody pulp, and I will whack your teeth out.”
“You frickin’ bully, you coward,” he added. “I hate you, my listeners hate you and remember that, scumbag, forever. Heh heh heh heh. We’re going to defeat this anti-human scum, we’re going to wreck their world.”
Later in his show, Jones insisted he “was just joking” when he promised to fight Baldwin, adding, “I meant that metaphorically.” He then taunted the media, telling his radio audience, “Oh, I know you feel sorry for yourself when I make a statement like that, you’ll probably be in the news, ‘Alex Jones threatens Alec Baldwin.’”
“I watched that five minute clip it took me 30 minutes to start and stop it ….” Jones said. “And I’m sitting there watching this crap meant to create the destruction of our society. And I’m not mad at Baldwin, and his cowardly writers because they are even attacking me.”
I think it is hilarious that Jones actually wussed out before his broadcast was even finished.
I actually think that if Baldwin would even entertain this idea he would smash this little troll into a pule of bloody mush in a matter of minutes.
Baldwin is also famous for having a bad temper, however beyond that he is well known for physically attacking people who piss him off.
Jones on the other hand simply turns red in the face and looks like he is about to have a coronary every time he loses his shit.
As a former trainer I could not help but notice that when Jones was pumping his little Donald Trump sized hands back and forth that he was making his fist all wrong.
Everybody who has actually trained to fight knows that you never leave your thumb sticking out like that. You instead clench your fist tight with the thumb held against your upper knuckles and away from the area of impact, less you break it.
Besides no actor that makes his living with his face, like Baldwin, would ever lower himself to trade punches with a spittle splattered little pig like Alex Jones.
However if Jones is really serious about defending his big daddy's honor perhaps he should direct his threats to Mickey Rourke who once called Donald Trump a "bully and a bitch."
Yeah, I think he might be up for it.

SNL is killing it. Killing it I say!
I swear that Melissa McCarthy is a shoo-in for an Emmy nomination.
Her Sean Spicer is one of the funnest things I have ever seen.
Don't get me wrong the rest of the show was damn good as well.
There was a segment with Alec Baldwin appearing as Trump in People's Court.
And a great Weekend Update segment with Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren.
But then there was this bit with Kate once again reprising her role as Kellyanne Conway stalking CNN's Jake Tapper after he refused to allow her on his show because....well because she lies.
Okay that was both creepy as hell and amazing.
We already reported that SNL is getting the highest ratings in 22 years, and it is pretty clear they deserve it.
Like I said, they are KILLING it!

Alec Baldwin returns to SNL this weekend and promises it will be a "big deal."
Courtesy of Vulture:
What nuggets of comedic gold will Alec Baldwin’s hosting stint on Saturday Night Live bring us this weekend? Who knows? Maybe he doesn’t even know. (Nah. Of course he does. And maybe Melissa McCarthy and Rosie O’Donnell know, too?) But as he puts it ever so dramatically in the cinematic teaser for the episode: “The pull of fate is undeniable.” Strap on your seat belts, everybody. We have a feeling this is going to be … yuge.
Like I said before currently SNL is "must see TV" in my home so I am certainly going to be watching this Saturday.
And since this bit from Melissa McCarthy last weekend almost cost Sean Spicer his job, it is now going to be entertaining to see what SNL does next to rattle Trump's cage.
Personally I would LOVE to see an appearance by Rosie O'Donnell as Stephen Bannon, but we shall see.
Yes, we shall see.

SNL enjoying highest ratings in 22 years.
Courtesy of Yahoo News:
If President Donald Trump tweets about Saturday Night Live‘s terrible ratings, consider it the fakest of news: In reality, the NBC sketch-comedy series is having its most-viewed season in 22 years.
The most recent SNL, in which Melissa McCarthy lampooned White House press secretary Sean Spicer, nabbed a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49, according to TVLine’s sister site, Variety. As such, the late-night laugher ranked behind only CBS’ The Big Bang Theory as the highest rated program in the demo. These numbers are in line with SNL‘s overall Season 42 viewership — its best since Season 20 — which is up 19 percent in the demo and 22 percent in total viewers over last year.
SNL‘s recent success is likely to irk the ratings-conscious Trump, who used part of his speaking time at February’s National Prayer Breakfast to malign Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stewardship of Celebrity Apprentice, which Trump used to host (and on which he is still credited as an executive producer).
Oh yeah, this is going to piss Cheeto Hitler off big time.
Which is why it's such awesome news.
I have to admit that this is the first time since Tina Fey was mocking our favorite dimwitted Mat-Su moron that I have so actively looked forward to Saturday nights.

SNL hit a home run last night.
I think the only thing wrong with this skit is that Steve Bannon is actually scarier than the angel of death.
And fatter.
But as great as that cold open was, it was not the best skit of the night in my opinion.
That was the great Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer and she just killed it!
I can't even begin to imagine how pissed off all of this makes Trump and his merry band of morons, but just thinking of it puts a big old smile on my face.

"I am going to bring back a thick stream of jobs back to this country. The biggest, strongest, steadiest stream you've ever seen. This country will literally showered with jobs. Because I am a major wiz at jobs. It will be a golden opportunity for me as president to make a big splash."

SNL does it again with cold open that skewers Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin.
So far Trump has not thrown a tantrum on Twitter about this segment, even though Alec Baldwin gave him a warning ahead of time.
Actually as much as I like this opening, I enjoyed Kate McKinnon's parody of "Love Actually" even more.

SNL cold open brings Alec Baldwin back to play Donald Trump, much to Donald Trump's frustration. Update!
You know this is about how I imagine that things are going behind the scenes, except for Kellyanne's guilt that is.
I think that lunatic is thrilled with what she helped to accomplish.
And you know it was a good segment because it got panned by one specific critic.
A president who tweets at people who irritate or disagree with him, what a brave new world this is.
Update: It looks like Alec Baldwin responded.

If he wants equal time all he has to do is get his new adviser to fire up the old Breitbart propaganda machine and have it start blowing wind up his skirt.I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night.

SNL takes on the third and final presidential debate, and yes it is awesome.
So many great lines.
Perhaps my favorite bit was when Alec Baldwin, playing Donald Trump, suggested that Kate McKinnon, playing our next President, had not accomplished anything in the last thirty years, allowing her to launch into a listing of all of her past accomplishments.
There is also a shout out to Sarah Palin, as one of the "heavy hitters" that support Donald Trump, along with the best Baldwin brother, Stephen.

Donald Trump cries "hit job" as SNL brilliantly lampoons his debate performance.
Courtesy of the Washington Post:
During SNL's cold open sketch about the presidential town hall debate, Alec Baldwin-as-Trump is asked about whether he likes kids and says, "I love the kids, okay? I love them so much I marry them."
After it's pointed out that Trump has said Bill Clinton's accusers should be believed, Baldwin-as-Trump says of his own accusers: "They need to shut the hell up."
And after stalking Clinton repeatedly during last week's town hall debate — something Trump denies he actually did — Baldwin-as-Trump is asked by a black man whether he can be a "devoted president to all the people." He responds by calling the man "Denzel" and launches into an answer about violence in the inner cities.
Then he uses it as a segue to call for putting Hillary Clinton in jail: "She's committed so many crimes, she's basically a black."
That was a great show last night. I especially loved Trump as the shark from "Jaws."
Now typically I would wait and make this my last post of the day, kind of like a palate cleanser for all of the unsavory news we have to absorb.
However what made this a more newsworthy item was that Trump was so irritated by the bit that they took to Twitter to respond.
The show is great and you know the fact that it is getting under Trump's skin like this only reinforces that simple truth.

Yeah that Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks so bad it is quite likely to earn him an Emmy, just like the one that Tina Fey earned for her "stinky" impression of a certain politician back in 2008.Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show.

For those who may have missed this last night. The SNL cold open featuring the Donald Trump Hillary Clinton debate.
Courtesy of The Daily Beast:
At the top, Michael Che made a rare sketch appearance as moderator Lester Holt, who introduced a coughing Hillary Clinton and “the man to blame for the bottom half of all his kids’ faces,” Donald Trump.
Baldwin got Trump’s podium-clutching and bizarre “China” pronunciations down perfectly. And while the real Trump waited until after the debate to complain about his microphone, he did so during the SNL debate. Beyond just interrupting Clinton with “wrong,” Baldwin’s Trump added “Shut up!,” admitted a make out session with Sean Hannity, and referred to Holt as both “jazzman” and “Coltrane.”
Just like the real Trump, Baldwin described Clinton in a way that sounded oddly familiar. “I have the best judgment, and the best temperament,” he said. “She’s the one with the bad temperament. She’s always screaming. She’s constantly lying. Her hair is weird and her face is completely orange. Except around the eyes where it’s white. Once she stops talking her mouth looks like a tiny little butthole.”
Instead of responding, Clinton yielded her two minutes back to Trump, who went on an unprovoked rant about “the blacks.” Asked by Holt what she thought about Trump’s comments at one moment, Clinton said, “I think I’m going to be president.” After another of his rants, she said she didn’t have a response, “more of a request: can America vote right now?”
I had a great time watching this last night, and absolutely LOVED Kate McKinnon's Willy Wonka inspired entrance. And seriously it seems Alec Baldwin was born to play Donald Trump, just like his former co-star Tina Fey was born to play Sarah Palin.
At the top, Michael Che made a rare sketch appearance as moderator Lester Holt, who introduced a coughing Hillary Clinton and “the man to blame for the bottom half of all his kids’ faces,” Donald Trump.
Baldwin got Trump’s podium-clutching and bizarre “China” pronunciations down perfectly. And while the real Trump waited until after the debate to complain about his microphone, he did so during the SNL debate. Beyond just interrupting Clinton with “wrong,” Baldwin’s Trump added “Shut up!,” admitted a make out session with Sean Hannity, and referred to Holt as both “jazzman” and “Coltrane.”
Just like the real Trump, Baldwin described Clinton in a way that sounded oddly familiar. “I have the best judgment, and the best temperament,” he said. “She’s the one with the bad temperament. She’s always screaming. She’s constantly lying. Her hair is weird and her face is completely orange. Except around the eyes where it’s white. Once she stops talking her mouth looks like a tiny little butthole.”

Sarah Palin's appearance on Match Game last night.
— Match Game (@matchgameabc) September 15, 2016God I cannot even imagine how that would convince anybody to tune into this show.
And for good reason, it was HORRIBLE!
Here was Palin's attempt to drum up viewers on Facebook:
Nothing is more fun than the infiltration of traditionally liberal Hollywood; gives us a chance to interact with those who may assume they can't have much in common with a Commonsense Conservative. I always have a blast doing these pop culture venues!
This one sure was: here's a sneak peek of our Match Game episode with my liberal pal Alec Baldwin - airs tonight as the season finale on ABC 10/9pm central.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with the entire cast and crew on this episode.
My aspiring-comedian nephew Payton McCann accompanies me on these forays - he's the best sidekick in NYC. I love him! (And check out my fellow game show panelist, Jack McBrayer, he looks just like Payton.)
Enjoy the diversion from all-things politics!
- Sarah Palin
Personally I did not watch it because I was more entertained by watching some paint dry.
However I saw a few clips, and it was brain cell murdering stupid.
Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.
So they dug up a dried up old has been of a politicians to appear on a dried up old has been of s show. I guess in some ways that is kind of perfect.
