What’s the saying? Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.
If she does, doesn’t that mean they have to allow him to do it as well? I feel like that happened in one of the last few elections. If that’s the case, that would be an issue since there’s no more airings before the election.
Edit: I found this, I’m not sure where they’re landing on it other than saying:
A Federal Communications Commission commissioner claimed incorrectly on Saturday that Kamala Harris‘ appearance on Saturday Night Live violated the “equal time” rule.
Per my understanding of the law, if Trump wants 90 seconds of airtime on NBC between now and Tuesday night, they can’t tell him no. They’re under no obligation to let him on a specific program or make him look flattering.
I’m reminded of a bit Conan O’Brien did back in 2003, where he commented that they couldn’t run funny clips from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies since then any of the 100+ other candidates in CA’s gubernatorial race could demand airtime as well, so instead he started showing out of context clips of Walker, Texas Ranger since NBC owned the rights and Chuck Norris wasn’t running for anything.
I’d hope they say “What time?”
I’m looking forward to the day when the first question he’s asked is, “Who are you?”
“Hey, does anyone know if Up Late With Greg Kinnear is still on? He can have the second commercial break.”
I’d watch the ‘What’s That Smell?’ skit on SNL.
And from the article we get the obvious impetus for his suggestion (unless it’s just pure patriotism/s)
“Carr was appointed to the FCC by Donald Trump in 2017. Per Forbes , he is also credited as the author of a section in Project 2025, the unofficial policy plan of the Republican party.”
Holy shit. General fucking Ripper all over again. What a bozo.
Clearly he’s being influenced by Big Dentistry [/sarcasm]
Yes, he’s a nutcase. There are a frightening number of such poised to take power on Wednesday.
Even if (shudder) Trump wins, they would have to wait months to do so. It’s not like the inauguration happens the day after the election.
We may not even know who has won by Wednesday (but I have a feeling we will).
Remember, Harris certifies the election. Also, Biden can have trump arrested and sent to Gitmo. The SCOTUS said it was legal. I think we should test that hypothesis.
Am I joking? I’ll never tell.
Nah, SCOTUS said it was legal if they determined if it was an official Presidential act.
Just guess what most of us think the odds are they’d actually apply the same standards to a Democrat in the White House as Donald Trump.
SNL has a special (Election-themed) on tonight, from 10-11pm in most markets.
Give Trump 90 seconds. They are under no obligation to provide him with written material. If he thinks some of his own staff can come up with something that will endear him to viewers, have at it. Try insulting Puerto Rico again–that’s gold!
NBC is free to follow up Trump’s 90 seconds with footage of people pointing and laughing, if they wish.
I’d watch!
They should, and knowing Trump he’d refuse. Not understanding (not that his lawyers would either give Trump’s legal brain-trust) that that refusal of NBC’s offer of equal time would make any accusation that Harris‘ appearance on Saturday Night Live violated the equal time rule null and void.
My post-election fantasy for the last few weeks has been that the day after the election, DOJ comes down on Trump like a ton of bricks. He’s no longer a candidate, therefore no election interference. Throw him in jail if you need to, keep him there as long as you need until you get everything sorted out. If he wins but can’t make the inauguration, oops oh well!
I’m putting the over/under as Friday, less the inevitable lawsuits, of course.
There you go. (And such a screw-up is SO Trump.)
Trying to find the cite, but I read earlier that NBC gave the trump campaign 90 seconds after today’s NASCAR race. They played one of his commercials.
Just have the Supreme Court arrested. /s
