More confusing than the situation in the Middle East? How SNL uploads weekend update in like 20 different segments.

[@LosCrozo]

Gabe Shakour what

[@ownedweezybaby]

Gabe Shakour Not really just four parts.. Just watch the longest parts it's the full weekend update.

[@momandshams4037]

This is garbage... Compare this to the 90s SNL (Norm MacDonald) and you'll see the stark difference

"YOU HAVE OFFENDED MY SENSERBILITY!" SNL you have no idea how many times I've used that one since 2017.

[@stormwatcher59]

Totally agree with Michael..."I don't know why anybody would try to take sides on the middle east conflict..."

[@lo-fiFromChicago]

I mean the whole world is expecting him to. Foreign policy is his job.

[@lewiskazinsky7334]

@@lo-fiFromChicago it’s a no-win situation. If you don’t take a stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, you look weak on the world stage. If you do take a stance, half the world stage hates you. You’re either going to be called a Zionist puppet, an Antisemitic enabler or just an complete coward. Its one of the hardest jobs of the presidency.

[@Bunkerdwarfputin]

And now we know WHY the #DiaperDon took sides... ... everything is a transaction with the drumpf crime family; always follow the money ... Yup 👍

Oooomfg, I don't understand how Cecily Strong does such a freaking brilliant job at Kathy-Ann.. I die every time! And how does Michael Che even keep from laughing.

[@tangobango9653]

ONLY Donald Trump would say “go get‘em” to Roy Moore-On.

[@chainsaw72081]

Bill Clinton disagrees with you.

[@tangobango9653]

Ken McColloch Clinton THIS. Obama THAT. Can you TrumpTARD’s ever stick to the subject? As Tillerson correctly stated “Trump is a F**King Moron.”

[@chainsaw72081]

Well, you're a f**king moron too obviously...but here you are.

[@vtan809]

Bill, after the investigation, was nearly impeached, admitted his wrongdoing. Trump denied every blunders he did, and threatened to sue all the women who accused him of sexual harassment. That's the difference between the two of them.

[@chainsaw72081]

Bill Clinton committed perjury, which is an impeachable offense, yet he remained in office? Why? Democratic hypocrisy. Every woman that has made an accusation against Trump has been proven false, which is why he's still the president. THAT'S the difference.

THANK YOU, for finally realizing that not everyone In Alabama is crazy, like Roy Moore! I really hope Doug Jones wins! And if I was 18 I’d totally be voting for him! I don’t understand how people can judge a state, when they have never been there! If you actually visited Alabama you would know, that there are Doug Jones stickers EVERYWHERE! Commercials play on tv every minute for him! There’s actually a chance he could win!! And i really hope he does!

[@kleevorpos1838]

"There’s actually a chance he could win!!" doesnt instill me with confidence but i wish you luck

[@smilingdog4067]

Fancy, you're young and I hope your enthusiasm for and faith in Alabama helps you and your generation change this backasswards state. But, having a family with multiple generations in Alabama and living almost half of my life in Alabama (and still here) I can tell you, we will elect Moore, we will take many steps backwards and we have way too many folks that are not an exaggeration of the Alabama stereotypes. FACTS reveal that we are an uneducated and poor population compared to rest of the USA (except maybe Mississippi and W Virginia)...and for some fucked up reason most of our population is PROUD of that. WTF?

[@anitatamez8837]

I don't judge the state of Alabama, but I do have to judge the Republicans in your State. They choose to believe what they want to believe which is a way to avoid reality. I'm amazed they can't see the reality with Trump, it's before their eyes and ears, but choose to believe what they wish was true, too bad it will never get better, just worse.
