Not-so-Happy Holidays from SNL!

If it doesn't feel like a festive Holiday season so far, it's not just because there's a lack of snow on the ground here in Wisconsin. Saturday Night Live's open hit on it well, and it reminds me how much I wish I didn't know or care about in 2017.

All that was missing was Megyn Kelly coming up and saying African-American Kenan Thompson wasn't a real Santa Claus. Maybe that happens after the ex-Faux News Bobblehead gets fired in the next year for her low ratings. Funny how people didn't buy her as legit when she wandered outside of the Faux News Bubble.

But the most wince-inducing line comes from a little girl about 1:45 in:

"I learned if you admit you did something wrong, you get in trouble. But if you deny it, they let you keep your job!"

That's definitely the strategy righties use these days "DENY, LIE, AND SPIN. But never admit that you were wrong, never concern yourself with consistency, and never change your opinions to match the evolving reality.

Hey, it's worked for Scott Walker and the Wisconsin GOP for the last 7 years. Why wouldn't Trump and the other GOP slimeballs do the same?

Trump is again blasting media for mistakes. These mistakes are getting corrected.

But Trump continues to tell nonstop lies without correcting them.

The shamelessness of this is the whole point. He is asserting *the power* to operate by his own rules:https://t.co/enXW7xK0bo pic.twitter.com/jeQk54Zn4P
