Top 10 'SNL' Political Sketches Of All Time

But, at the risk of sounding uncharitable, it’s even more remarkable given how frequently SNL has fallen into mediocrity -- with skits, whole shows, or sometimes entire seasons that simply weren’t very funny.

    House members are lobbying Speaker Mike Johnson to raise the threshold to trigger the procedure to oust the speaker. However, Johnson announced he would not change the procedure for removing him from the speakership after Republican hardliners reacted with fury to the proposed change of rules. A single member can force a floor vote on the motion to vacate - part of the deal Kevin McCarthy made to become speaker last year.

  • Jesse Watters Continues Personal Attacks On Trump Jurors
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 06:45 AM

    Despite warnings from Judge Juan Merchan that the media should not be revealing too many details which could identify the jurors in the Trump trial in Manhattan, Fox's Jesse Watters spent another evening railing about them in the obvious hope that they'll either be identified or intimidated. I watched at least one pundit on MSNBC say the judge could have shut this sort of thing down ahead of time by not making their information available to the media at all.

    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 06:44 AM

    Day 3 of the Trump Criminal Trial was quite a chaotic one!!! Started with fireworks about more of Trump's gag order violations, the worst one being a post with a direct quote attacking the jurors. After his post accusing jurors of being "undercover liberal activists", Juror #2 (an oncology nurse that was outed by the incredible amount of detail reported by journalists), decided to leave the jury! Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday broadcast extensive biographical details about Juror No.
