As expected, the cold open of this past weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live lampooned the first two days of the public impeachment hearings.


The late night sketch show put a soap opera spin on the proceedings, calling it "Days of Our Impeachment," and featured a string of political impressions from the cast, as well as a special guest appearance by Jon Hamm as Bill Taylor.

You can watch it below:

At one point in the sketch, Pete Davidson appears as notorious Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti to offer up some juicy gossip about Trump's affair with the porn star, only to be told "that storyline was from, like, last season."

A defeated Davidson then pretends to forget who he's playing, referencing a recent Jeopardy! episode where none of the contestants could come up with Avenatti's name. Instead, Davidson refers to himself as "Michael Avocado."

After the sketch aired, Davidson's impression got a response from Avenatti himself, who in turn did his own impression of Trump by mock-raging about it on Twitter.

"Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC," Avenatti tweeted, adding:

"Question is, how does that total loser Pete Davidson save his dieing mediocre career by playing me and get away with these total Democratic hit jobs without retribution? This is the real quid pro quo. Investigate!!!"

Trump has been very vocal on Twitter about Alec Baldwin's less-than-flattering portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live.

He was roasted back in March of 2018 when he attacked Baldwin and misspelled the word "dying," which Avenatti perfectly satirized in his own tweet.

The tweet was later deleted and posted with the correct spelling, but the screenshots will live on in infamy.

Avenatti was given props for his sense of humor about the whole thing.






Although some worried that not everyone would get the joke.




But Avenatti took it all in stride, even changing his bio to reflect his new "Avocado" nickname.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
