| #17 Buttfug. He seems to be emerging as the entertainment industry & tech oligarchs' favorite. I have no idea what the hell they're smoking. |

| #16 Were any of the Dems not attacked? Or mildy attacked? This could be liberal writers suggesting some folks should drop out to let others stand out. |

| #14 Netflix is being seen as an effective tool by the left. It's reach and quick adaptation strategies to directives inserted periodically by the left must make it pretty valuable to some people. But once again, the downside of nurturing sycophancy by implied coercion, like Kim Jong is that you will see graphs pointing upwards even when you're tanking ! Good. |

| #13 Nothing against our Lord and Savior, mind you, but not exactly an investing tactic out of Dodd and Graham. |

| #12 We know the Obamas have a stake in netflix now = Repayment of a debt incurred by that company when their friends in Washington protected NFLX's rickety business model via the "net neutrality" scam. At $68 million for Zero's cut, that represents a bargain for the company. Hedge fund managers describe investing in that profitless company as akin to "believing in Jesus." |

| #11 Maybe most actors themselves hate the liberal creed, but to keep getting roles and invitations they have to play along. And this might be a factor in their battles with depression, rage, dysphoria, addictions... I could never fathom healthy, male, white leads making way for ugly, rancid, 'diverse' trannies of their own sweet will. Or dissing Trump, whining about gun control and professing love for muslims and illegal mexicans. It's all because they want to stay employed by the studio bosses. Who knows who funds all these woke movies ? We know the Obamas have a stake in |

| #10 (possible exception to the above: Disney's leadership isn't devoid of creative knowledge. The little girls seem to greatly enjoy the 'Frozen' money-spinner franchise.) |

| #9 True. Most of the entertainment industry, like the finance industry and the tech sector and so many others now, is essentially a small oligopoly consisting of mammoth corporations: Disney, Comcast, AT&T, "National Amusements." Think about the parent companies' executive leadership: these are TV salesmen, cable entrepreneurs, financial engineers, or even (in AT&T's case) network engineers. Does any of these money-grubbing ROI hawks know anything about drama or comedy? About anything remotely creative? No wonder our media & entertainment culture produces so much conformist, unfunny, boring, trite, redundant and derivative shite. It's an industry seeking to optimize production and revenue, no less than the specialty chemicals or industrial lubricants industries. |

| #8 The only q is how the SNL writers ever thought these clowns were not worthy of scorn My guess is, a big part of the performance arts, sports, entertainment industry is hostage to some virtue signalling producers who are wolves in tuxedos, friends of the Clintons. Also, most heads of creative depts must be hippie marxists. And faux-altruistic poseurs seeking the next Golden Lion for their saga of quiet rebellion by black women against slave owners in a bygone era. |

| #7 Not just self-important but self-perfect. Which comes across as false/inhuman/uncanny/immodest. |

| #6 The other weird thing about recent Democratic presidential candidates is how ludicrously self-important they are. They truly believe they've been called forth to Save the Republic -- even though not one of them has ever accomplished anything meaningful in their 200+ collective years of public life. The oldest of them, Bernie Trotsky, has literally achieved NOTHING in over 50 years of public office. Their humorlessness increases in direct proportion to their fecklessness. The only q is how the SNL writers ever thought these clowns were not worthy of scorn. |

| #5 A satirist cannot long put up with virtue-signaling assholes, no matter how much his personal political views may align with those of the virtue vultures. They're BORING. That's professional suicide for a satirist. |

| #4 I have noticed the SNL are getting a bit more my taste recently. Here's a Jussie Smolette one. Network Meeting |

| #3 ^ The SNL hipsters have come to the conclusion that the Dem candidates are all liars, whores and poltroons. The Dems are losing the SNL writer crowd. How did they get there? Prob'y a combination of the spectacularly repulsive, indefensible Shitshow that is Hoover Burisma Biden, and the equally repulsive Shitshow that is Schoff's Star Chamber-- which was, to an SNL writer, unforgivable for being not just a waste but mind-numbingky BORING. The next phase is Acceptance, of Trump's impending re-election. |

| #2 Woody has been surprising me as an actor lately. Dramatically in the 1st season of True Detective and comedically in A Scanner Darkly, to name two. The interesting data point here is that SNL is making fun of Democrats. |

| #1 Woody was fun, the rest... Meh. Maybe Kamala |
