Trump threatens SNL with federal investigation for mocking him

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Trump is taking his fixation with Saturday Night Live to a new level.

Donald Trump tweeted in the early Sunday morning hours a threat to have the NBC late night comedy series investigated by a federal agency.

The offense? Mocking him.

1. THeir Answer...

Bring it!

[NCjack]

22. SNL will double down. nt

[onecaliberal]

2. He doesn't even try to pretend that he's not a dictator.

[area51]

59. +1 n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. 40% of America no longer believes in America, all because a black prez drove them INSANE

[SunSeeker]

8. I'm pretty sure they were stone cold racists before Obama. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. And the difference is the russian money and influence

giving lifelong filth like them more power than they should have

[SunSeeker]

12. Yep. That was the special sauce in the shit sandwich that was 2016. nt

[triron]

15. And election manipulation...

[cstanleytech]

34. Bingo!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

21. I think you hit the nail right on the head; I'm remembering sold out ammo/ guns lines

They started stockpiling and waiting for Holder's drones and Obamas gun-taking laws. All NRA, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Brietbart, Fox, Limbaugh fueled. Trump just rode the wave that was cresting.

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. This

[Mariana]

55. That, of all things, tells you just how stupid they are.

Seriously, if you really and truly believe the government is going to confiscate your guns in the near future, what do you do? Do you run right out and spend thousands of dollars to buy more guns? How dumb is that?

[Blue_true]

4. That is dictator behavior.

When Trump stood on a stage and said "Only I can fix it" any sane American should have said "Oh Shit!"

[Auggie]

6. And mentally ill behavior

[MyOwnPeace]

46. THAT

is the most concise and simple answer to IQ45 I've ever seen! EXCELLENT!

[SoonerLib]

53. Fortunately, so far, he is an impotent little dictator.

[leftieNanner]

5. One might guess that he never noticed

that SNL has mocked EVERY GD PRESIDENT since the beginning of the show.

Dana Carvey - GHW Bush?
Chevy Chase - Gerald Ford?
Will Farrell - GW Bush?

And the list goes on for ever. Every single one.

[George II]

33. Darrell Hammond did Bill Clinton, Dan Aykroyd did Jimmy Carter, Jay Pharoah and one or two....

....others did Barack Obama, Phil Hartman did Ronald Reagan, Dan Aykroyd did Richard Nixon.

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Phil Hartman was an awesome Bill Clinton!

[leftieNanner]

62. Agreed

So sad that he was killed.

[Doodley]

7. But he doesn't share the same anger towards white supremacy. Wonder why?

[C_U_L8R]

10. Go ahead, Chump

This ought to be hilarious.

[Miigwech]

11. Such a great reality show idea!

[struggle4progress]

13. "This is America! You can't mock the President here!"

[tavernier]

14. Fat Rump, Thin Skin.

Wish Freddie Mercury was still alive to write a song with this title.

[CentralMass]

16. Hmm. ZZ Top. Fat rump, thin skin, when I step out Im going to do you in.

[tavernier]

17. Winner!

[Evolve Dammit]

23. very good!

[2naSalit]

30. LOL!

[Amimnoch]

45. Nine Inch Nails - head like a hole

God money I'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don't want everything he wants it all...

[GP6971]

18. And yet, if anyone he

mocked had the ability to threaten a federal investigation against him, he would be the first to scream freedom of speech. Well...maybe not him, but his lawyers sure would.

[spinbaby]

19. What is it with the Twitter tantrum today?

Are the golf courses closed?

[flibbitygiblets]

20. I hope SNL re-plays this vintage skit in reponse:

"You mock me!"

https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/you-mock-me/n9742

[rurallib]

24. I propose a special committee headed up by former senator

Al Franken to perform the investigation.
Should include Andy Borowitz, John Fugelsang, Stephanie Miller, Charlie Pierce and the Rude Pundit.

[Volaris]

38. And The Ferret, and Johns' Stewart and Oliver, and Samuel L Jackson.

[klook]

58. + Samantha Bee (nt)

[Gothmog]

25. There is a pattern

Link to tweet

[Ohiogal]

26. And they call US snowflakes!

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Wasn't last night's SNL a repeat?

Comcast program guide had it as a repeat of Matt Damon hosting the show.

[dflprincess]

42. It was a repeat

It was the Christmas show that opened with a "It's A Wonderful Life" paradoy showing Trump what life would be like if he had never been president.

I hope the next one is live and they address this!

[bullwinkle428]

48. He tweeted about this episode the morning after its first airing in December, and

then tweeted about it again this morning. In other words, he hated the show so much the first time around that he had to watch it a second time.

[Nasruddin]

54. And people are saying

"Oh no, he doesn't have dementia, he's able to respond on his feet, think strategically, ...."

He's cooked.

[DeminPennswoods]

60. LOL!

Thanks

[ancianita]

28. Can't wait for the next SNL "double down" cold opener.

[colsohlibgal]

29. Try It Orange Twitler

Satire is protected Free Speech, and you cannot be so dumb to not know that they will keep mocking you because you are world record mockable and now you’re acting like an Orange baby whining about being picked on.

[patphil]

31. And this is coming from a guy who mocks people all the time.

[keithbvadu2]

39. Mocking

[MyOwnPeace]

49. THAT

single clip should have been enough to send him packing.
There should not be ONE SINGLE CLERGY out that accepting that demonstration.
That he is STILL around is BULLSHIT! (I'm not worried about offending clergy - apparently they can't be).

[cstanleytech]

35. Makes me wish I had the ability to move out of the country before it goes totally pre-WWII Germany.

[LisaM]

36. Did he miss the show during the Clinton years?

They were brutal, and they were pretty hard on Hillary, too.

[Volaris]

37. 'and of course, Russia.'

Hahahahha yeah. Because Russia hates your winning alphamale ass SOOOO MUCH that they just must be sending sketch pieces to SNL to undermine you.

Fuck off, Donald hahaha.

[mysteryowl]

40. Great topic for their next skit!

[Red Mountain]

41. SNL should run with it....

Live investigations. Live skit fact-checking by Feds.

The best comedy is grounded in truth.

[eShirl]

43. let's all mock him!

<------------------

[Initech]

44. Ever notice how Trump takes the unpopular opinion on literally everything?

The entire world could come to a conclusion that ice cream is delicious, and Trump would be like "Fuck ice cream!!!! It's too cold!!!". He needs to grow a thicker skin!

[Smackdown2019]

47. Bill Murray - Monument men.

Bill Murray played as a WW2 Monument Man and I loved the part when he had a Nazi at the family dinner table caught red handed with stolen art.

Bill Murray needs to remake that part on SNL with Trump being the Nazi with stolen art.

Checkmate!

[TNNurse]

50. He got worked up over last night's episode.

It was a rerun.

[barbtries]

51. An American in Iran just got 10 years

for somehow disrespecting the government, and posting a picture that included a woman, or something like that. Trump would like to disappear people I think. The peril we are in as a free society with a functional Constitution is in jeopardy.

[George II]

57. And not a peep from the dotard in chief.

[underpants]

56. Simmering. There was no new episode this week.

[Gothmog]

61. Trump Twitter rages at SNL for not showing 'the other side' in unhinged rant

63. From Juanita Jean-It Was a Rerun. It Was a Damn Rerun.

Okay, so Trump was plenty upset about the Saturday Night Live show last Saturday night. He was so mad, in fact, that he used a double tweet. The first tweet was just his usual whiney baby ninny cry and the second one was …… holy crap insane.


.....Here’s the topper. It was a re-run. A damn rerun upset him a double-tweet worth. Honey, he broke the seal on a brand new giant industrial sized 55-gallon drum of whine.
