"Springtime for Hitler" -- The Producers (1967)
Clearly, Propaganda Barbie and Lyin' Spicy Spice have been benched this Sunday. Either Trump is tired of giving SNL more material or the sheer cognitive dissonance of having to catapult the propaganda is so exhausting that even those two camera hogs needed a rest. But have no fear, there are no shortage of brownshirts from which to choose. This week, Senior Policy Advisor Stephen "Banality of Evil" Miller, purportedly the author (with Steve Bannon) of the infamous Muslim ban as well as a plethora of Executive Orders, gets his turn to prove we are now a kakistocracy.
And man, are they incompetent. I suspect that part of the reason that the Executive Orders are coming so fast and furious is that they're watching Trump's poll numbers plummet. Half of the American public are ready to impeach him now. After 3 weeks. I mean, it took George W. Bush (largely accepted as the country's worst president---until now) three years and two unwinnable wars to reach the lows that SCROTUS got in less than a month. If they don't get everything done soon, what chance will they have?
It's hard to miss Miller today. Let us know if any host actually points out that nothing the Trump administration does is normal or within the bounds of ethical behavior. I'm guessing they won't.
