SNL PROVES TRUTH IS STRANGER ๐คฃ [AND FUNNIER] THAN FICTION
โฃAre the so-called 'writers' on SNL actually paid?
Guessing they actually wrote a script for the actors to read, but it's really just a sad kvetch, as VP first faggit hopeful Josh Shapiro was mentioned; well, the part about Kneepads 'working for three months straight' was ironically hilarious ๐
Benny Johnson - BRUTAL ๐คฃ Saturday Night Live just mocked Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

In fairness, let's allow Tampon Tim to explain this statement:
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz fumbled a response about school shootings during Tuesday nightโs debate against JD Vance, saying heโs become โfriendsโ with the shooters.
The moderators asked Walz how he changed his mind about banning โassault weaponsโ over his career.
โI sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. Iโve become friends with school shooters. Iโve seen it,โ Walz said.
Pollsters, pundits and politicians immediately panned Walz for the embarrassing gaffe.
โโIโve become friends with school shootersโ may be the worst line in any 2024 debate,โ said political pollster and consultant Frank Luntz.
Fellow pollster Patrick Ruffini was nonplussed.
โSee, this is useful,โ floated Fox News contributor Guy Benson. โWalz saying heโs become friends with school shooters, when he meant victims, is an innocent misstatement.
โRepeatedly lying about his military rank, his DUI, IVF and Hong Kong/Tiananmen Square are not innocent misstatements.โ
National Review Contributor Andy McCarthy pushed back.
โWalz obviously misspoke, he didnโt mean heโd become friends with school shooters. Cโmon. โThis is a good, high-minded debate as things go these days. Letโs not make shit up.โ
โI am not friends with school shooters,โ deadpanned X user Three Year Letterman. โI am here to take firm stands even if they are not popular.โ
Florida GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna and South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace reposted the quote, with Luna adding that it was โconcerning.โ
Even former President Donald Trump got in on the action, posting a Trump-Vance 2024 sign on his Truth Social with a slogan written underneath.
โNot friends with school shooters,โ it read.
His campaign also reposted video footage of Walz stumbling over his words.
โMy daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting,โ posted Andrew Pollack, the father of Meadow Pollack, who was killed at the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
โItโs absolutely abhorrent that Tim Walz has befriended school shooters. Disqualifying.โ
Walz made another appeal to gun owners, however, when he said he used to have his gun in the back of his car so he could go โpheasant huntingโ after โfootball practice.โ
He also said if America wants to stop school shootings โ we should look to Finland.
โThey donโt have this happen,โ the Minnesota governor said. โEven though they have a high gun-ownership rate in the country, there are reasonable things that we can do to make a difference.โ
Walz suggested the federal government had a role in taking away โsome of these weapons out thereโ โ but didnโt specify which.
โI appreciate what Tim said, actually, about Finland,โ Vance responded, โbecause I do think it illustrates some of the frankly weird differences between our own countryโs gun violence problem and Finland.โ
The Ohio senator said that the US, unlike Finland, grapples with higher rates of depression and anxiety.
Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to โban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people,โ according to her and Walzโs campaign website.
The National Rifle Association, Americaโs gun lobby, formerly gave Walz an โAโ rating for his voting record on gun legislation โ but has downgraded him to an โFโ during his two terms as governor.
The Harris-Walz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
