actress/comedian on SNL. Her ability to portray the variety of characters she does is phenomenal. I really loved her Sessions' character. I hope they find a way to bring him back every now and then.

to Sessions (the McKinnon character, not the real one). I actually missed the Farewell episode so I really appreciate your posting it. Thank you! It was great!!

I think she really had fun with that one! I'm sure that she has some great ones that we haven't seen yet - but her Jeff Sessions was special!

is batshit crazy and robbing the public while enriching themselves. Only one side has proven detrimental to our democracy and are sociopaths. Only one side deserves ridicule which is why it makes no sense when dems are mocked because we known they are undeserving of mockery. It makes no sense when they are ridiculed.

Yeah - it's "funny" in a nihilistic 12 yo sort of way. But it never *really* punches up. It just lets people get a smirk or two.

A lot of the stuff that once may have been "edgy" is now just standard practice - and has become part of any system that they were (if ever) trying to bring down.

The Kavanaugh stuff made me sick. Getting laughs and normalizing it was disgusting.
