Douglas Poole is that what fox news tells you? If so it's wrong. All made to make the man look bad when he's actually doing a great job. Leftist can't stand defeat even long after they've lost.
Jake Helton all you guys and your fake news defense for everything. Trump doesn’t need the media to make himself look bad his mouth and his twitter do that for him. I don’t think he’s all bad though Incase you comeback with any leftist liberal snowflake crap that you people use for everything as well. He’s done some things well like all presidents do and some things not so good like all presidents do. Besides that he’s a racist assclown leading a party full of racists we need to give him a full term to see where we are at after that term is up
Douglas Poole Except, that investigation was triggered off of a corrupt cover up: Obama traceably spied on Trump during the election. Nixonian. Thus, the criminals have to retroactively justify their crimes. Further, the only evidence of election rigging involves Hillary and the DNC takeover.

Fascinating , considering how George W put us so deep into debt that there will probably not be a suplus for who knows how long. And they blamed it on Obama.
@@RJ1999x Get your facts straight, ignoramus. These are THE FACTS according to Forbes Magazine: "President Donald Trump claimed Feb. 15 that former President Barack Obama “put on more debt on this country than every president in the history of our country combined.” . . . Patrick Newton, a spokesperson for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget . . . pointed out that the debt was already projected to increase before Obama assumed office. Robert Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition, a group that advocates for fiscal responsibility, made the same point, citing federal spending on baby boomers as one example. “During Obama’s first term, the baby boomer generation begin[s] to qualify for full Social Security benefits and Medicare at age 65. Spending on these programs went up as more beneficiaries began to qualify for benefits,” he told The DCNF in an email." It appears that President Trump and Congress have reached a deal to increase the debt limit and a two-year budget that will substantially increase the yearly federal deficit. Besides throwing aside any semblance of budget restraint by either political party, it will create $1 trillion plus budget deficits for as long as the eye can see. Trump likes to claim that everything he does is the largest by any President. He is going to get his “wish” with the budget deficit since they are on course to be the biggest in an expanding economy. Between the 2018 tax cuts and the increase in spending for 2020 and 2021 it will push the accumulated deficits to be the largest ever over a four-year timeframe. And God help the U.S. when a downturn in the economy hits and the deficits balloon beyond any current projection". Trump's deficit is already overtaking Obama's 8 YEARS and Donald's first term IS NOT EVEN OVER.
@@charlesroberts3650 wrong! George Bush and Newt Gingrich made it LAW that the budget had to balance, the surplus was due to that, which expired during Clinton's years and he then merrily went to racking up debt
People don’t know that it was a Conservative judge that Trump considered for the Supreme Court (over ACB) that ruled in favor in that case. Barbara Lagoa.

Trump BUTCHERS the English language. I've seen corpses with a better grasp of syntax and semantics. It's not the case that his language resonates with the working class.

He is a political HULK, only without the super-intelligent and caring Bruce Banner alter ego. He's a pure rage monster.
@LᗩᑎDO LᗩᑎD it continues because the majority of individuals support the set up. When a president declares war on another country, that president doesnt do any fighting themselves, they send an army. If each individual in that army chose not to obey the president, the president has no power. Like how the "Government" locked up Ithe Wikileaks guy.

You don't get more centrist than being on both sides of every issue and promising everyone everything - Trump did it by the book, just with a bunch of added bigotry and stupidity. Re-election though, he screwed up. He demanded cultish loyalty rather than competence and didn't deliver.

Wow...remember the days when no matter how partisan they were in the primaries, once they were down to the two candidates they actually tried to become more centrist? In the words of a very wise man (paraphrased), in the U.S., we need to return politics consisting of moderate competence with a low, but acceptable, level of corruption. In other words, we need to go back to a head cold rather than the metastasized killer that is politics in 2018.
6:10 Lol...was that was prophetic. Bush certainly had an easier time than most presidents...since he wasn't really much of the executive behind the scenes (that was Cheney).

This is so amazing. So much to the point. Great job👍
RIP Ross Perot.
This shit is fucking golden! Took me 20 years to find it lol
Wow...remember the days when no matter how partisan they were in the primaries, once they were down to the two candidates they actually tried to become more centrist? In the words of a very wise man (paraphrased), in the U.S., we need to return politics consisting of moderate competence with a low, but acceptable, level of corruption. In other words, we need to go back to a head cold rather than the metastasized killer that is politics in 2018.
The democrats seem to have taken to your advice, the republicans...... need their own corner
With the exception of Trump, who barely won, that's still the case
Bro, I have some terrible news about the five years that have elapsed since your comment
Snap out of it!! 😂😂 like he’s hypnotized
6:10 Lol...was that was prophetic. Bush certainly had an easier time than most presidents...since he wasn't really much of the executive behind the scenes (that was Cheney).
The Man, The Legend, The Dana Carvey! These two are comic gold together. They could do a Bill Sr n Bill Jr movie right now and people would line around the block to see it.
The pimp slap from daddy Bush. From 2000 to 2020 it still sounds very loud.
Dana Carvey is so damned good. We slip slide away!
This is back when comedians were very talented, witty and people weren’t as sensitive and easily offended too. SNL has never been this good!
Old people have been saying this for centuries. Times change.
@@linusp9316times change and they’re worse now. What’s you’re point? Old shit is better look at snl now.
The real American dynasties RIP 41
When he did the "Snap Out Of It" hahahaha omfg that was golden
Who else came here because George H. W. Bush passed?
I did. I was young when HW Bush was the president, so I didn't find the impersonations that funny at the time. Watching as an adult, I still don't. Compared to Clinton, W Bush, and Trump, HW wasn't that comical.
@@David_R922 I think Carveys impersonation is hilarious.
@@David_R922 Wasn't into SNL that much. In fact, I only remember Carvey from Wayne's World. The new SNL cast is killing Trump admin characters, but they give SNL so much raw material to work with the jokes write themselves (Cold Open and Weekend Update)
me
Yup
You think you can do that for me?
Maybe.
😂😂
1:27 George H. W. Bush did it before Will Smith made it cool
Centenials had to google what is surplus?
Back when comedy in general--and SNL in particular--was actually, you know, funny...
They're still reasonably funny.. it's just that the reality they're parodying isn't very funny anymore.
“Uniter not a divider” has a very real meaning now
Noooo....newwww....taxessss!
That cat story was the best 😂😂😂
So gun control has been discussed for such a long time....
Its been discussed since founding of America. Got worse when commies came out.
I love the hat tip the senator McCain!
This is such a hilarious take on how the Bush's just 'slip slidin' through Iran Contra, mass surveilance, and the Iraq war.
This is funny not like today's awful cast
SNL today is unwatchable. TV today in general is unwatchable. Music today is unlisten-able and forgettable and movies today suck ass.
And that fabulous war on drugs.
SNL today is hysterical, you guys are on some really bad drugs.
@@Mike_Davidson That is the opinion of many people but I do not agree.
The little brown one
kkkkkkkkkk haha
Notice how when Sr. says "you're jumpy and you're cocky", you see those fingers flying to make sure the white ain't visible on the shnozz haha can't believe no one else spotted that in the comments.
Fuck You Budday Nooooooooooooo. Lol
Drunk George! 🍺🥴 Lol 😂🤣
THE MORE THAT I WATCH DANA'S EARLY WORK, THE MORE I REALIZE HIS GIFT AS A COMEDIAN. HIS INSIGHT INTO PERSONS AND ISSUES UNDERLIES HIS HILARIOUS BUT ALWAYS GOOD-NATURED SKITS, STAND-UP AND MONOLOGUES.
THE MASTER
AT WORK. STILL GOING, STRONGER EVERY DAY.
But am a uniter not a divider
Anybody hear the news about HW Bush's death esp. Will Ferrell and Dana Carvey's condolences?
Dana Carvey gave a statement about mourning "His friend" with whom he bonded with over his impression. A real classy move by Carvey, especially in today's climate.
Now... this was the best skit.
Remember When THESE TWO Were The Biggest Worry of the Republican Party? Ah, The Old Days!
This when SNL was actually funny and not biased!!!
