Think they did a good job, especially Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney - and Nancy Pelosi!

Not me!

It was typical mockery (using exaggeration of behavior) by SNL, and it applied to everyone. It's not like Trump was portrayed as competent or non-delusional.

parody should start with the truth and then exaggerate but other than Thompson none of those people were portrayed with any truth at all. Raskin in particular, was just awful. Pelosi, Schumer, and Kinzinger were also pretty lame.

And folks can say what they want, since I posted the actual videos, I appreciated Nancy Pelosi!
