“Donald Trump?” Clinton-as-bartender asks, preparing to slip into a Trump impression. The satirical show nails Clinton from every angle and the Democratic front-runner defends her well. The song mentioned Rachel Dolezal, the dentist who killed the Cecil The Lion, Kim Davis, the Entourage movie, and more.
Did you think Miley Cyrus was hilarious or horrible on the SNL 41 premiere? The gimmick: Melania’s praise of her husband’s presidential bona fides surreptitiously illuminates the lunacy of his candidacy. “It’s the only dementia medication prescribed for eleven specific people”.
Part of the resistance stems from Cyrus’ position as host-musical guest double threat no doubt, as the inevitable comparisons to double shot all-star Justin Timberlake doesn’t do her any favors.
“Oh my God. They’re multiplying!” he exclaimed. “I agree with you there”. When they wake up, they find the world has changed, and everyone has been brainwashed by Taylor Swift.
Hillary got to not be Hillary for three minutes.
The only logical conclusion of Taylor Swift’s ever-expanding “squad,” as Aidy Bryant and Vanessa Bayer envision it, is a doomsday super squad that takes over all of humanity.
But perhaps the peak of all this was Fey’s sermon from the Weekend Update pulpit demanding atonement from those who sexistly conflated Clinton’s get-shit-done demeanor with bitchiness.
