See… I complain about SNL’s take on Trump, but this… this is perfectly fine. Why? Because I think it comes from a totally different place.
We SHOULD be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time. It’s what differentiates us from the snowflakes who can’t take a joke… no matter how innocent.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. I have no problem with mockery in comedy…. but there’s a HUGE difference between jokes that come from comedic spirit and jokes that come from spite.
SNL’s “comedy” comes from a place of pure hatred… and that’s just not funny.
This, however, is all in good fun, in my book.
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood kicked off the 51st Annual CMA Awards with a heartfelt message to all the victims of recent tragedies in the U.S. … and a song poking fun at President Trump’s Twitter habit.
After sarcastically mentioning to the audience they were directed to steer clear of political commentary … Paisley and Underwood fired off some play-it-safe jokes about Anthony Scaramucci, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
But right as Carrie seemed to be moving into the first award of the night … Brad rocked a “Before He Cheats” spoof that took a few jabs at the Prez.
Remember covfefe? They sure do.
Before the parody tune, Paisley and Underwood dedicated the night’s ceremony to victims of the mass shootings in Vegas and Texas, attacks in Charlottesville and NYC, and all the recent natural disasters.
All in good fun. Let’s be honest… he really SHOULD think before he Tweets…
But not everyone agrees with me…
WTH #CMAawards Why did you have to crack on @POTUS?! #CountryMusic is supposed to be essentially #American. You disappoint. #MAGA #tcot You don’t know your audience.
