SNL TURNED A WHITE HOUSE RENOVATION INTO A HOME-IMPROVEMENT SHOW.

And that format choice is what makes the premise interesting.

“White House Makeover” takes the familiar language of property-renovation television and applies it to Trump's plans for the White House ballroom.

Instead of treating the subject like a conventional political report, the sketch borrows a format audiences recognize immediately.

The makeover reveal.

The confident hosts.

The promise that a big renovation will solve everything.

But the White House isn't an ordinary house, and a presidential building project isn't just another television renovation.

That contrast gives the satire its starting point.

SNL takes a political story and changes the lens through which we see it.

Suddenly, a question about presidential priorities becomes a parody of television's obsession with dramatic transformations.

Donald Trump: “NATO is zero without America”

Meloni: “Cool… so should we shut down your bases, cut trade, or just storm McDonald’s? 🤔”

Iconic power move 🔥🇮🇹 🇺🇸

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, just gave the best answer for why we must defeat Donald Trump. This is amazing.

@mehdirhasan Nothing much if you view it from a mental disorder perspective.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Trump’s teleprompter broke.

He told every other nation they are going to hell.

He bragged about violating international law.

He blamed climate change on immigrants.

He complained about the wind not blowing enough.

And made a plug for his campaign hats.

What a disgrace.

WHY DIDN'T THE AMERICAN MEDIA DO THIS?

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.

Trump: With Tylenol, don't take it. Don't take it. And if you can't live, if your fever is so bad, you have to take one because there's no alternative to that, sadly. First question, what can you take instead? Actually, there's not an alternative to that

As you know, other of the medicines have been proven bad with the aspirins and advils and others, right?

The Bible says the Antichrist will

— Deceive with religion – he will appear spiritual but actually turn people away from Christ (Matthew 24:24; 1 John 2:22).
— Be a deceiver – he will mislead people while appearing strong or righteous (1 John 2:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:9).
— Exalt himself – he will set himself up as the greatest, boasting and demanding loyalty (2 Thessalonians 2:4).
— Speak blasphemously – he will speak arrogantly and against God (Revelation 13:5–6).
— Be lawless – he will disregard rules, norms, and higher authority (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
— Gain global influence – he will be admired and followed by multitudes (Revelation 13:7–8).
— Use deceptive signs – he will use spectacle to keep people convinced (2 Thessalonians 2:9–10; Matthew 24:24).

Miller plagiarized from two Goebbles speeches: 1930 funeral of Horst Wessel and 1932’s A Storm is Coming.

Not new for Miller. He’s cribbed lines from propagandist Goebbles numerous times.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Conflict between Cambodia and Armenia?

This guy is truly insane.

For MAGA idiots: the distance between Cambodia and Armenia is approximately 6,600 kilometers, and there has never been a war between these countries.

Psychologists and psychiatrists call this "concrete thinking." It reflects an inability to engage in abstract thinking, and a strong propensity to think of all nouns as depicting physical objects.

It's the first way children begin to understand how to describe the world with words.

We have a president whose intellectual capacity never developed past that of a toddler.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

It’s more than just a skilled shooter.

It’s the replacement of the FBI Special Agent in charge of Salt Lake City last month.

It’s the private plane leaving Utah after the shooting. landing in Wendover, never filed, no transponder from there on. Desert airstrip, cameras off.

It’s the FBI saying they have the suspect and then later saying they questioned and released him.

It’s Laura Loomer calling Kirk a backstabber.

It’s Trump’s immediate reaction and video.

I believe it was all coordinated.
