When you click on the video due to the shutdown and realize that its a different shutdown

[@hickyxnicky411]

same

[@MidnighttWolf]

Lmao

[@carlromm]

Year later a different type of shutdown

[@fourteencrows1244]

Yea same in 2020

Their "accomplishments" list caught me off guard and I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂

Yeisy Diaz best part was he couldn't sip on his coffee lmfao

[@shack8110]

fuck you SNL - full of shit

[@JLPicard1648]

yu stu it's satire. The idea is to be full of shit while still being truthful

[@shack8110]

Sounds like unfunny criticism based on half-truth and outright lies to me. It's not Trump's fault the Democrats refused to fund the government.

[@jefforndorff6990]

Two minutes I will NEVER get back from my life....after reading your post. Why don't you pull your head out of the sand for a few minutes and realize it's humor you idiot. And if you think Trump is a self-made millionaire, you're more stupid than I originally thought. His dad was a millionaire you goober, and gave him money to start in the real estate industry. Trump has filed for bankruptcy six (6) times on several of his real estate holdings. Once in 1991, three (3) times in 1992, once in 2004, and once in 2009. I'm not saying Trump hasn't had some success, but trying to tell me he's self-made is an insult to my intelligence, and the equivalent of pissing on my head and telling me it's raining. Trump couldn't make a wise decision unless he had some smart people around him. So...come down from your ivory tower you simpleton and look up the definition of comedy.

[@priscillajimenez27]

Don't insult seals! At least they have a more defined sleek shape and smooth skin.

[@666Tomato666]

and natural hair!

[@Baatfull_Ocolm]

And seal livers are toxic to humans due to it's lethal levels of Vitamin A... I.. I don't know where I'm going with this.

[@hansakkerman2611]

poop a it was a good tangent, nonetheless.

[@booboodadfool8015]

I don't think people know who Caligula was or what he's known for doing. Cuz that reference deserved way more laughs.

[@noble7461]

Cameron Christian best comparison. Caligula marked the decline of Rome...

[@MentalStillness]

Cameron Christian Caligula was a sick twisted emperor. Pedophilia was normal in Rome back then.

[@tmseh]

Great movie.

[@SCBJQ]

They left out the most disturbing part about Trump wanting to get spanked with Forbes magazine. The cover had a photo of him with Ivanka and Donald Jr. on it. His fixation on his daughter is so creepy!

[@MentalStillness]

SCBJQ Yeah it is disturbing.

[@jeamesttiejohnson7501]

SCBJQ to us normal people it is I some how think by his approval rate this is norm for alot of people since they are so unoutraged by it

Yeah the testimony of a pornstar is so credible.

[@d.e.2961]

This is the first time a party controlled all branches of govt and had a shutdown. The ineptitude of Trump and the GOP is staggering.

[@xxl96]

What a weak BS comment. This is the Dem's fault. get out of your parents basement and actually do something

[@alex01230ROBLOX]

[@walalopez6735]

Gangstonius Rex they needed 10 democrats to stop a fillabuster and we all know Dems are obstructionists. They opposed nothing on the bill yet they couldn't get it to pass so the republicans changed it again and it persuaded like 4 democrats and lost 3 republicans

Nah. It hasn't changed the anchors covering trump as much as those defending him. Have you seen KellyAnne Conway!? Giuliani doesn't even show himself anymore. Sabato and Cain, once gorgeous men, have no spark. Baio is a noisy shell. Trump is killing his own even more😲

[@termsofusepolice]

Yeah, amazingly flat and unfunny. I remember the first time I saw Che on TDS and thought, "This has to be the worst comic correspondent this show has had yet." Then, just a couple months later, SNL hires him. Che is affirmative action personified.

[@tmseh]

I just asked how the weather in Moscow is. You need a safe space brah. You getting snow or rain?

[@7rob27]

Debunker Buster I'm sorry to break it to you, but Trump is never right. Absolutely never. No even if he talks about the weather. And all your links to alternative facts is as reliable as the pussy grabbers worthless promises. The GOP and the president are just a ridiculous joke. They control everything but they still get nothing done. And then they have the atrocity to put the blame on everyone else instead of taking responsibility for once. Pathetic spineless losers with zero integrity or shame.
