    A President with a sense of humor and humanity will be a refreshing change. As opposed to the former president (was he really though???) who is hell bent on destroying America and everyone in it.

    The trump portion was a 4/10, the rest was like watching paint dry. Something I noticed back in the bush era, SNL writers really aren’t good when the writer doesn’t have any substantive criticism and are trying to make content from aesthetics or the way a politician talks. “Last time I had this much trouble with a mic, I tried to have it killed” hits harder than “Eeehh heeh heeh. Do I really laugh like that? Yeah, you do”

      And you’re not going to get a candidate to be in the skit if they’re receiving substantial criticism.

        Maybe. I think you could get away with a lot if you’re making the criticism of the other candidate harsher and still doing the job of making the candidate seem “likable”.

      Some hard digs would be good for sure


      So seeing the two Kamalas see each other didn’t make you feel something?!

      😭🤌🥰

        No. To someone without a parasocial connection to a politician, those posts are incredibly bizarre.

          Fair enough!

          non-parasocial perspective

          Well-practiced impersonator actually meets impersonatee (who has ~49% chance of becoming like most powerful person alive) & both seem quite pleased about it, even some giddiness. Charming human moment
