Donald Trump thinks SNL is rigging the election and should be canceled

Watched it on U Tube this afternoon, Hilarious, 4 million plus views, 53000 likes, 1500 dislikes....

Chevy Chase said they gave it that slant back in the day against Ford to try to get Carter elected. Yes, the media is slanted.

SNL destroyed Reagan in '80. Piscapo portraid him as a belligerent hot head. Reagan didn't pay it an once of attention. Why is your boy, who is way down in the polls, wasting precious time picking a fight with a skit show?

Trump has acute small Richard syndrome.

This just in: Donaldus Minimus thinks the following were rigged:

* His three marriages.
* The Clinton marriage.
* The impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
* The original cast of Saturday Night Live.
* The death of Generalissimo Franco.
* The crowning of King Saul.
* The results on The Apprentice.
* The 2016 National League Central race.
* The race in A Day at the Races. (And Chico Marx still bet on the wrong horse!)
* The pennant clincher in The Natural.
* Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize.
* World War II.
* The 1969 Mets.
* The 2004 Red Sox.
* The 1924 World Series. ("Whatever happened to 'Washington---First in war, first in
   peace, and last in the American League?' I tell you, there's gonna be bodies to be swept off
   the streets of D.C. when I get through investigating it!")
* Super Bowl III.
* Bachelors III.
* The 1919 Cincinnati Reds. ("How did they beat the all powerful 1919 White Sox? Clearly the
   Reds must have been cheating! The evidence is out there!")
* The old Miss Subways competitions.
* The space race.
* The Nathan's Famous hot-dog eating contests.
* The finale of The Sopranos.
* The finale of Seinfeld.
* The lack of finale of Archie Bunker's Place.
* Mr. Whipple. (Serial Charmin squeezer! Pervert!)
* Vin Scully. (He can't retire until I fire him! Who does he think he is? Anyway?)

You forgot Pete Rozelle rigging the ratings to ensure the failure of the USFL.

Judging by what I know of "Saturday Night Live '80," nobody else was paying it an ounce of attention at the time, either.

[LottieDah]

He sure is a special kind of stupid only reserved for the best.

I don't think Trump is stupid.  He is totally deranged.  That is more frightening than stupidity.  Pray for America.  We need all the divine intervention we can get!

Sure they are, and it's been that way for decades, but competitors  don't let it get into Their head.

I thought Donaldus Minimus did that himself---tax writeoff, don't you know . . .

Garrett Morris as the Three Mile Island cleaning lady was a skit that made Carter look like a fool.

Nah, just a preview of what his admin would look like.


Well he keeps doing this.  I can tell you what it would look like.  Daily complaints of not fair.

Maybe if he had one of those, his mouth would stop feeding his opponents ad material.

For a total shut down you would have to break his thumbs too.

You left out the David and Goliath matchup...

Lost in all this is the irony of a former casino owner complaining about a rigged game.

[Smokin Joe]

Lost in all this is the irony of a former casino owner complaining about a rigged game.

Strange but true--there is no need for the Casino to rig the game, statistically speaking.

Slots will return from 60-90%, depending on the state, casino, and machine. (which means that statistically, the house gets 10-40% of the money that goes in the machine, every time it goes through).

All those games have odds, and while individuals can 'play the odds' with some success, sometimes, the actual balance falls in favor of the house over the long haul.

So Peggy Sue from Pocomo might go to the Super Slots Casino, and pull the lever on a $5 token and hit a million. She will leave a winner. In the meantime, Peggy Sue's win will bring others flocking to the casino, where the overall take will increase, proportional to the amount played. For every Peggy Sue, there will be thousands of smaller dollar losers or folks who just broke even.

Amusingly enough, they will tell you of the big jackpots they won, and still come home with a lot less in their pockets (because they put it back in).

No need to rig it, the odds favor the house, and a smart Casino won't be dishonest.
Table limits and free drinks will limit the amount lost to savvy players, and the house gets a 'rake' on player vs player games (a guaranteed percentage).

Thank for your interesting response.

I saw a commercial for SNL the other night, and my first thought was that it was pretty biased to use an actress half Hellary's age.

I agree.  Baldwin is great but she is off-putting as Hillary.  They could do better.

[Emjay]

I don't think Trump is stupid.  He is totally deranged.  That is more frightening than stupidity.  Pray for America.  We need all the divine intervention we can get!

Oh, he is stupid.  And deranged.  Not a good combination.  Unfortunately, we're gonna get Hillary.

[Applewood]

Hasn't this country had enough?  We had 8 years of a president who was constantly offended, playing the race card over even the slightest dig.  Now people want to elect another snowflake.  That's all Little Donnie is.  Beneath all that macho man bluster is an overly sensitive,  insecure little boy.  Why can't we find a real grownup for the job?

[Vulcan]

If it is canceled, it should be because it ceased being funny many years ago, not because some lame, blowhard wanna-be politician doesn't like its content.

So, what do you want done? I remember in how SNL teased Reagan in the 80's...

Apparently not.  There seems to be a certain block of voters that are willing to sacrifice conservative principles, values and beliefs...to include religious beliefs in some cases...in order to get "revenge" on the Dems.

It's like they have this "it's our turn" mentality and to hell with the cost.

Textbook case. Angry people do stupid things.

@rodamala that's brilliant.

Mike Judge should run for office. He's nailed it.

Is Trump just leaning what has been known for Decades?  He sure accepted the invite to be on SNL without question. Nown they are awful.
