President-elect Trump weighed in on this weekend's 'Saturday Night Live' show that had Alec Baldwin playing him, tweeting , "It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?"

Saturday's show was marked by the return of Alec Baldwin, who played candidate Donald Trump before the election, in his debut as the president-elect.

The episode's cold open (below, in its entirety) -- set at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, where Trump is holding meetings this weekend -- kicked off with Baldwin's Trump telling Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, that he could not have won the election without her.

"I think about that every day," she says, sighing. (McKinnon's legendary portrayal of Hillary Clinton was absent from the episode.)

What a freaking crybaby.

Is he really suggesting a “fairness doctrine” for comedy?

FWIW I thought it was funny especially Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway.

And FWIW there was a skit making fun of liberals which was good.

The Target skit was pretty funny too.

And he was also back to Tweeting about Hamilton again this morning, demanding an apology.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  9h9 hours ago
The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior


Really?


His inability to let it go is keeping it in the news and not in the way he probably thinks.

And just a bit later, praise for Chuck Schumer.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  7h7 hours ago
I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer. He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Good news!

@Neverdul

Don't give them any ideas
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Don't worry, His Orangeness will take care of them - he's got something much better than libel suits now, he has the power of the federal executive.

May as well accept it with good nature and move on. Getting into a fight with SNL is a losing proposition.

Joe Piscapo trashed the hell out of Reagan when he was elected. Portrayed him as an angry nut job. This Baldwin skit wasn't a fraction of that.

He is showing the bad judgment we all talked about.  Giving praise to Schumer.  What a joke.  His Cabinet choices seem alright for the most part.  Hopefully he won't interfere with their wisdom to do the job he appointed them to do.

Donald can't take any criticism.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

The bubble skit last night skewered liberals like nothing i have seen from SNL in ages.  Still the overall bias could gag a maggot.

We could hold a raffle for the job of smacking Trump upside the head and pay down the national debt.

I thought the Anderson Cooper/Westworld skit was hilarious.

I was a senior in college when SNL began. Chevy Chase was always nasty towards President Ford. It's what SNL does, Trump better get used to it.

What are the odds trump isn't a national embarrassment and I don't end up ashamed to tell people I voted for him in four years?

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
