Alec Baldwin's Trump yearns for bromance of Putin and MBS

'SNL's cold open on December 1, 2018.

"Why’d you make me do so much illegal stuff?" Ben Stiller's Michael Cohen asks the president in the latest installment of 'SNL.By Dennis Romero
President Donald Trump's trip this week to the G-20 summit in Argentina was lampooned by "Saturday NIght Live," which returned with a new episode Saturday after a holiday break.
Alec Baldwin's Trump was portrayed as loathing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russia's influence on the 2016 election.
Trump's current personal attorney, Rudy Guiliani, played by Kate McKinnon, tried to console him.
"I keep all those secrets where no one can find them," he said. "On nationally televised interviews."
Cecily Strong's Melania Trump also tried to reassure the president.
"I keep having this nightmare where I’m walking through a forest of blood," Trump said.
"No no," Melania said, "that was just my Christmas decorations."
Ben Stiller made a cameo appearance as Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty this week to lying to Congress. Trump told Cohen he's been like a son to him.
"Why’d you make me do so much illegal stuff?" Cohen said.
"Because you were like a son to me," Trump said.
Former SNL repertory player Fred Armisen returned to Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center to portray Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose bromance with Putin, played by Beck Bennett, appeared to make Trump jealous.
After giving each other a elaborate handshake meant to mock the "high five" greeting the pair shared in Argentina, Prince Mohammed, sometimes referred to as MBS, and Putin reminisced about a recent outing together.
"I asked, like, 'Did you really kill that journalist?'" Putin said.'"Why’d you make me do so much illegal stuff?" Ben Stiller's Michael Cohen asks the president in the latest inst

Clean Bandit: Britain's biggest pop group on Labour, Israel and female masturbation

Image
The band’s reliance on star vocalists means ‘most people don’t know much about us’. But it turns out they’re more politically vocal than most pop phenomena Fri 23 Nov 2018  07.00 GMT Last modified on Fri 23 Nov 2018  11.59 GMT Shares 101   Clean Bandit in 2018: Jack Patterson, Grace Chatto and Luke Patterson S equestered in the corner of an east London restaurant,  Clean Bandit are having a hard time describing their fans. “Age-wise, it’s very broad,” says cellist, producer, and de facto front-person Grace Chatto. “It doesn’t feel like it’s any particular type of person – it’s just a big group of, er, random people,” laughs producer Jack Patterson. With a frankly ludicrous 4bn global streams making them one of the UK’s most successful bands, their difficulty in finding a neat catch-all is pretty understandable. In accordance with modern pop rules, these fans have given themselves a collective noun – “fandits” – and w...

Deprived of New Weapons Tech, Taiwan is Reverse-Engineering Jet Engines To Make a Cruise Missile

Image
From Popular Mechanics Taiwan thinks it needs new long-range weapons to keep China at bay, and now it has an innovative (if weird) solution. The nation is reportedly pulling engines out of old fighter jets to figure out how to make one for a cruise missile. The J85 turbojet engines in question come from Northrop F-5E/F jets, called the "Tiger II." Produced in the 1970s, the Tiger II was a low-cost multi-role jet in the same vein as today’s F-16. The F-5E/F had one engine, a  General Electric J85-GE-21 ,  a design that is still around: A variant of the J-85 powers the U.S. Air Force’s T-38 trainer, and another version will  power  Boom’s upcoming 50-passenger supersonic jet. Photo credit: MANDY CHENG - Getty Images More Over the years, Taiwan bought or produced 308 Tiger IIs, including 242 single seat -E versions and 66 two seat -F versions. Now a  report in the Taiwanese press states that Taiwan’s Chinese Academy of Sciences, in conjunction with th...
