America needs God and Donald John Trump looks like blind leading the blind . Anyone who listens to Al Franken has no idea of what he is guilty of. Guilty of sexual assault with young women who worked with him . Anyone who downs President Trump guaranteed your not on God's side. Donald John Trump is hated so much because his for we the people, and has been constantly lied about on everything. The demoncrats are all deep state demonic to the core, only enriching themselves with money. So go ahead enjoy listening to a pervert, lies non stop. My God Jesus Christ is going to settle the issue once and for all. Better be sure what side your on. This is a fight against Good and Evil. This will shock you, many of you. But if you stay on the dark side and believe all these lies about President Trump, you will be sorry in the end. God will be dealing with you reprobates real soon.

I was lucky enough to be a 10 year old boy when SNL and SCTV were on the air on NBC on Saturday night. It was the start of a lifetime of appreciation for improv comedy. And insomnia….

[@rothloaf1980]

That made Saturday night pretty special, I used to stay up late also.

I was in the audience of that 1972 performance of Godspell by this talented group of actors as part of a high school field trip in Toronto. It blew me away and now I know why!

[@linmiller8147]

How cool that you got to see that cast! What a memory to have. I only got to see Pia Zadora in Damn Yankees.

[@snuugumz]

@@linmiller8147 i was fortunate enough to escort my sainted Ma to a live performance of SOUTH PACIFIC at Riverside City College, CA. Which would sound rather pedestrian until you were told that the one and only Dorothy Lamour was playing the part of Bloody Mary! Ma was quite happy, and i was equally happy for her, even though i couldn’t help but wonder what sort of bet did Miss Lamour lose that she wound up spending her last years in such performances.

Flynn pleading the 5th on the question of transfer of power was chilling. To me, that was probably the most shocking moment.

[@slcpunk2740]

He had to plead the fifth to everything otherwise as soon as he answers one question he would have to answer them all.

Flynn called his brother on the DC NATIONAL GUARD and told him they did not need the appearance of the Nat Guard as THERE WAS NO THREAT OF DANGER per Trump...

@Jay Bee Shall we agree to disagree? I can't make enemies over politics. 🙃

[@susanqtips]

@Jay Bee That is a good question, Jay. The ONLY reason I voted for Hillary ( and believe me, it was a struggle because I swore I'd never vote for her after she agreed with Dunya to go into a.war with Iraq, was because I despised (and still do) Trump. It was a very difficult decision, but I'm from NJ and saw the kind of lying crackpot Trump is. So, sir, thank you for your service and I always support vetetans' csuses

Al, thank you for your dramatic readings of Hutchinson's testimony. You really get to the heart of it.

[@linmiller8147]

I loved this interview because I love both of these intelligent, funny men. It's nice to hear a lengthy, at times serious interview with Martin Short. (and I'm just hoping that more Democrats turn out to vote -- there might be a lot of NEW voters and seeing how much these kids are against gun violence and standing up for important social issues, I think they will turn out in droves.)

If Neil Gorsuch had any character he would have refused to take Merrick Garlands seat . Amy Coney Barrett should have refused also under Mitch McConnell's rule ( if it was a thing )

[@TheMobileHomestead]

@Jay Bee Stop lying ...Biden was just talking about a hypothetical situation and said all members of the senate under any situation should work together to seat a justice .... so the only people that use that term "The Biden Rule" is Mitch and other lying Republicans who falsely want to say they are just following the Biden Rule ... so maybe you should learn to look things up and find out what you're talking about before posting another dumb comment ... here's what Biden said about this silly bull "McConnell made up a rule based on the fiction that I somehow believe there should be no nomination to the court in an election year," Biden said in Philadelphia. "That’s ridiculous."

[@TheMobileHomestead]

@Jay Bee I see that you just got your account here in April comrade .... so I hope Trump and Putin are paying you something to tell your outrageous lies .... trying to say there is something wrong with Biden after Trump telling thousands of easily dis-proven lies every year gives you away quite nicely

Wow. The SCOTUS ruling on Dobbs v Jackson, the Hutchinson testimony before the J6 Committee, and now this. In a momentous and turbulent time my sense of hope for our future has been rocked. That we will never gain the insight to be had from an Al Franken interview with Kim Kardashian is devastating news. I sincerely hope that as a nation we are able to pull ourselves out of this dark time and find our footing as a righteous people once more.

I don't have the rain man memory Martin Short has but the first time i saw Steve Martin was about 1973 (or '72). He opened for Dan Hicks a terrific musician playing fiddle. It was a small club in maybe Pasadena, or there about. Great show for all of us.

My mom was Canadian and her mom (our gramma) was American. Our large families would converge in the summer for a stay at cottages on the Canadian side of Lake Erie and my parents and aunts and Uncles would cry; laughing in joy over our skits. There was wry humor and take on characters we would mimic and riff on from our short lives and keenly tuned observations. Watching Second City TV reminded me of my Cousins and that wonderful humor. I’d call it Canadian but it was really more like a Great Lakes thing; my family being from Rochester, NY. Some of my cousins from Windsor, Hamilton, and Detroit. Our families where boomers from the Rust belt and they worked hard and had a little extra money. Lots of cigarettes and beer, church, the Supremes, Beatles, Riots, stinky buses, Boblo Island, assassinations, and yes we laughed in between the tears. ..and yes, there’s a common thread of love and kindness too.
