Agreed! I was pleasantly surprised, the best sketch in a long time - and it was political!

Not to mention, it was funny! The impersonations were good, too, especially Cecily Strong as Kari Lake, though I thought that Kenan Thompson was the funniest...

I no longer like political humor anymore. The stakes are too high for me to find it funny. The political humor of the past poked fun at the weirdest and most extreme part of our politics which have now become normalized and it's no longer funny but a threat. Anything that makes these repug fools look charming even if they are trying to show them as stupid can still be destructive. I don't mean to be a downer but it I just can't watch it anymore.
