The duo, who bought the decommissioned ferry with plans to turn it into a floating entertainment venue, reunited at the "Weekend Update" desk, and Pete wasted no time roasting their investment. "So yeah, in case you're wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia ... we're losing millions on this ferry," he joked.

The 'Real Time' host gave a slew of examples ... Democrat liberals LOVED them some electric cars -- especially Teslas -- until Donald Trump.

And here's a good one ... the left scoffed at Sinead O'Connor tore up a pic of the Pope on 'SNL' ... liberals celebrated it.
