President Trump on Sunday bashed "Saturday Night Live" after its season premiere, claiming that the show "is just a political ad for the Dems."
The president in a tweet claimed he does not watch the show, despite previously hosting it and regularly being a focal point of its sketches.

"Saturday Night Live" opened its 44th season with actor Adam Driver hosting and West, a vocal Trump supporter, serving as the musical guest.
The opening of the show skewered Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's fiery testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, mocking how frequently he referenced his affinity for beer and his use of a calendar from 1982 as proof that he did not attend a party where Christine Blasey Ford alleged he sexually assaulted her that year.

He didn't want them in view of his Scottish Golf Course. They fought that hellbeast for years, and won. That is in part why he rambles on about windmills.
They truly chapped his draggy apricot ass.

(246 posts)for that stupid hat Kanye was wearing to melt under the stage lights. Cut-rate nylon/recycled drink bottle fabric doesn't do well in the heat. Smart money says Kanye gets a rash from the FDA banned red dye and wears something covering his forehead for the next week.
Don't despair, fellow freedom lovers. Nobody takes a political endorsement seriously from a man who was dressed as a human-sized sparkling water bottle a half hour before he made it.

Besides, I've seen at least a dozen of his stupid, lying, pro Kavanaugh ads now.

The fact that insults clearly bother him (and he richly deserves it) makes the mockery that much more entertaining.

(51,593 posts)Live from New York, its Kanye West with some opinions to share.
The Wouldnt Leave rapper, 41, wrapped up the season premiere of Saturday Night Live with a third musical performance and a lengthy speech about his support of President Donald Trump that did not make it to air.
"Its so many times that I talk to a white person about this, and they say, How could you support Trump? Hes racist. Well if I was concerned about racism, I would have moved out of America a long time ago. We dont just make our decisions off of racism. Ima break it down to you right now: If someone inspires me and I connect with them, I dont have to believe in all they policies. But this man is a builder, West said of Trump. And when I said Im running in 2020, all my smart friends talked so much s about me. And when I saw that man win, I said, See, I told you. I could have been there.
In response, an audience member yelled, F Trump. West added, Now you got a situation where we need to have a dialogue and not a diatribe because if you want something to change, its not going to change by saying, F that person. Try love. Try love. Try love. Try love. West ended his speech with an expression of gratitude. Thank yall for giving me this platform, he concluded. I know some of yall dont agree. But yall be goin at that man neck a lot, and I dont think its actually that helpful. I think the universe has balance. 90 percent of news are liberal. 90 percent of TV, L.A., New York, writers, actors, rappers, musicians. So its easy to make it seem like its so, so, so one-sided. And I feel kind of free. I thought this country said I couldnt be me.
Personally, I don't know who is more insane...him or his hero.

I am so sick of his never-ending commentary about anything EXCEPT his fucking job.
