Trump Threatens SNL With Federal Investigation for Mocking Him

Trump Threatens SNL With Federal Investigation for Mocking Him: In his newest Sunday tweetstorm, President Donald Trump threatened “Saturday Night Live” as well as other late-night comedy shows with a federal investigation for poking fun at him, calling them completely one-sided and claiming he enjoys a 52% approval rating.

Wait a minute, am I missing something here? Since when has Donald Trump had a 52% approval rating? Why he must be referring to some poll that HE took among his own family - or perhaps he’s talking about his popularity in Moscow or Saudi Arabia.

Of course, it’s important to realize that Trump’s tweets are little more than coded messages - intended as scraps of red meat for the knuckle-dragging fanatics in his base, and not really intended for consumption by the rest of the country - but even so, it’s a bit unsettling when a President of the United States starts threatening comedians.

Of course, in all fairness to President Trump, we need to remember that when Dan Aykroyd impersonated Nixon, Chevy Chase did Gerald Ford, Dana Carvey did George HW Bush, Norm MacDonald satirized Bob Dole, Phil Hartman mocked-out both Reagan and Clinton, Will Ferrell did George W and then Jay Pharoah joked about Obama - they also threatened SNL with federal investigations. Remember that? Well, nobody else does either.

I mean, what the hell’s next? Trump declares yet another national emergency and orders security forces to investigate comedians who’s jokes have injured his pride? And if that sounds far-fetched, remember this is a guy who believes what he hears on Fox News, so it’s hardly surprising he views SNL’s Weekend Update as an actual newscast! Still, it’s quite troubling knowing the guy who’s in charge of the world’s most powerful country can’t quite grasp the difference between a news story and satire.

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy: After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy? That’s one helluva threat! Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!” Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.” Alth...

Trump Tells Hannity He Can Declassify Secret Documents With Just His Mind

During a recent interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, former president Donald Trump tried to defend stashing extremely sensitive classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort by saying he was the president, and the president can declassify, simply by “saying its declassified.” Trump further added that “there doesn't have to be a process - there can be a process, but there doesn't have to be.” Trump then told Hannity that if you're the president of the United States, you can actually declassify something “by just ‘ thinking’ about it.” Oh, my word! You mean to tell me Trump actually thinks he can declassify the government's most guarded secrets, simply by “thinking about them?” Now, not to be critical, but it sure sounds like someone has been spending way too much of their spare time binge-watching old episodes of “I Dream of Jeannie.” I mean, about the only thing he left out was that he also sprinkled the documents with “pixie dust!” This...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal: Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike? Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death. Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this. On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
