Question
I haven’t watch SNL in years (hasn’t been anyone on there I would waste my time staying up late to watch it since Dana Carey in my opinion.
Was Alec Baldwin on or is he still locked up for punching the guy over a parking spot ?

Just saw the Joke wow its no where as horrible as some are saying it is was. I agree it a pathetic attempt at a joke..

The response from the right to once again decry the lack of civility and demand this guys removal and once again use a Veteran in a liberal outrage campaign on social media is classic

Mean while back at the white house Trump keeps lying labeling peoples as enemies ...lying his ass about the caravan claiming voter fraud again and the right remains silent an unfazed ...



PS all you saying SLN isn't funny ... you sound like your parents they thought the same thing when SLN was represented by your generation ... and theirs was turned into SLN archives

Is this any different from the Meghan Kelly situation? Other than the fact that she actually LOST her job.

I don't think either should actually lose their job, people say stupid crap all the time (cough, cough, political forum, cough). nobody should lose their livelyhood because of it.

Would Trumplicans have had an issue if he said "I like people who weren't blown up"?
No support for the person who lost their father in the largest terrorist attack, but plenty for the draft dodger con man.
At least that kid has some excuse for his behavior.

one more time...how was the joke different, than people led you to believe?

trump? he has something to do with this? i hated whatbtrump saud about McCain, i can’t believe that didn’t disqualify him.

i’d imagine this comedian is a deeply troubled kid. i feel sorry for him now that i know about his dad. fair enough?

Pete is obviously blessed with ample time to obsess over Trump. These may not end up being his most productive 8 years but good for him,he is trying to make a difference. Don’t forget to take time to vote for the tranny up in the green mountain state Pete! You can get that bathroom issue resolved.

We'll see what, if anything Mueller says on Wednesday, might be advantageous for him to come out with it before Trump dumps Sessions.
Hopefully, we are smart enough to not subject ourselves to 6 more years of Don the Con.

Everyone in other states is pretty excited about that candidate, reminds me of the screaming about gay marriage.

Bathroom issue was resolved in Vt already.

Pretty simple and inexpensive to put Restroom signs on single user restrooms instead of Men or Women

Pete,I took advantage of the search buttons. When I say you are obsessed I am not just saying.you actually used to be on the board for a number of reasons which I find surprising. I see you posted about fishing until about ‘12,almost nothing political. That changed almost two years ago when something spurred interest in S-B.com again. Thank You for coming back and making a difference. Slow it down and change up your interests. This obsession seems unhealthy in a lot of ways. Funny the way Trump influences you to do this but hey, Spence took a timeout after the election to lick his wounds so there is no snowflake handbook apparently.

I used to drive to the coast every other weekend April thru November, right until deer season, now I golf, dream of saltwater and youth.
That was when I made the mistake of looking at the political forum.
It actually has more give and take and less name calling than almost any other political social media discussion.
Good thing or I wouldn't be here. Hmmm?
Hopefully for all of us I am wrong about Trump, but I don't think so.
I did see Kasich testing the waters the past couple of days about a third party, the next couple of years could be interesting.

I don't think we need a third party, other than how it will peel off others and allow one of the major parties to win with less than 50%. We need a moderate in the center that can pull from the middle.- But does that person primary anymore?

With both sides running to the edges it's gonna be difficult

Nothing is wrong with me. in now way shape or form do I need
or allow a single voice of a SLN comic to influence my view of others. Like you do.. As for his dismissal of his sacrifice it is a reflection of him (the comic) not liberals .. no matter how hard you try to make the connection

Being retired military myself (20 yrs) I can pretty much guarantee that most of his combat buddies got a chuckle out of it. It wasn't nice for them to say, but I bet when he goes drinking he hears all the Pirate jokes. When did America become such a bag of Pu55ies that we can no longer laugh at ourselves? Comedy is almost always making fun of someone. It is OK to make fun of Trumps hair, Obama's Ears, Clinton's cigars, Bush's chimpanzee face, people that walk funny, people that talk funny, people that look funny, people who snore, people who fart all the time. For crying out loud, as a race, we humans are all funny in some way. Comedy is accepting it and laughing at it. And for the record, this guy does look a bit like a Pirate from a porno.

Sometimes I think we on the right are just as bad as the left... they cry that people are racists,,, and we cry about people being anti-military... "Oh No, he made fun of a minority!" "Oh No, he made fun of a veteran!" Everyone wants to play the damn victim.... Grow up people! If George Carlin and Eddie Murphy did one of their classic bits today, they would be cast out of our "enlightened society of special people".. Maybe our society is doomed because everyone is offended by every damn thing everyone else does or says.... we have forgotten how to accept what we are and be happy with what we are.......

if SNL can get what's his face out of jail they could do a skit this weekend with "trump" pushing buzzy off a cliff in a wheelchair....buzzy could yell "i've fallen and i can't get up"...and trump could tell her she's fired.....that would be PRETTY funny by lefty standards....and going forward a ridiculously high % of the left would believe that it was actually trump and buzzy in the skit and that's how she was actually injured in real life....
