Brother, it is a TV show. You are taking every word and action of theirs as gospel. If you're mad, say they're retarded and move on. It doesn't change that South Park is an American touch stone and has been since 1997. Are their biases? Sure. Trey and Matt are human. Go figure.
Watch it, don't watch it, do whatever. Just be aware as late as September of last year the creators of South Park had an interview where they made such remarks like “I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump" and "skipping Trump on purpose" but it seems they evidently changed their mind on the subject at some point. They have 10 episodes so perhaps there will be something more but if they spend it all on the Trump administration it's the most boring creative outcome for the show.
 
Maybe a succession of popes who prioritize the "dignity" of rapefugees and aggressive foreign moochers over the innocent people they prey on is bad for the church.

French churches are being burned down on the regular and priests have been murdered, to silence from the Vatican. Christian children are being regularly killed and raped by invaders, and the Pope says nothing. Trump starts enforcing US laws in the same way Mexico and other countries do and suddenly the Pope can't STFU.

Catholics should pray that the Pope finds it in his heart to have empathy for his own flock, and that he ceases his evil work as a false shepherd before it's too late for his soul. Hell is a big place and there's plenty of room for Popes who betray Christ's followers.
I think things are starting tk change the new pope is more based because the church as an institution is starting to notice the writing on the wall. You have to give credit as an institution it survived almost 2 millenia you gotta learn to change and adapt with the times without losing your values.
The catholic church has always been universalist and open borders. Its the church is having to go through a radical fundamental shift. Catholic faith has never been not been universalist.
Protestant Christianity was always about the church and state.
It’s already impacting beaches in Ohio.
Jokes aside maybe Ohio should be the ethnostate it would be kino to see.

I mean Trump is larger than life. He's goofy as fuck, even if that's why I love him. It may be predictable, boring... but it was inevitable given the outcome of the Election and all that's happened since.
 
Yeah, I agree with you here. Getting mad at South Park is kinda stupid. It's not like they crossed any lines they haven't already crossed. Vance laughing at his depiction in the show was the best of all possible reactions and it bodes well for his future political career.
The third time in as many weeks, I agree with you.. South Park is just South Park, I think it's just lazy if anything. who cares, it's South Park.

Holy shit, you got me, welper AND johnny bravo agreeing now.

I am not taking anything as gospel, i was falling off of it already by the time of that stupid craig episode.

However it is an outright fact they have not punched both sides equally in years. The hardest thing they punched the left on was the Troon shit.

Trump is naturally hilarious, but professional comedians making fun of him usually fail hard.

The reason is this - Trump makes them mad, you can't be funny and seething with rage at the same time. It's why Colbert is reduced to screaming kindergarten insults about the stupid poo poo pee pee Mango Man Hitler to pity laughs from the studio audience. And then wondering why that's not worth $12m a year.
 
Since we're discussing South Park,
I want to introduce everyone to Kevin Morris.
He's Matt Stone and Trey Parker's Lawyer. He goes way back with them, having helped them broker their deal with Comedy Central to get South Park on TV, and He Co-Produced The Book of Mormon, Matt and Trey's Broadway play.

Morris also happens to be Hunter Biden's Lawyer. Morris gave Hunter $ 6.5 million so he could pay off his IRS debts. https://archive.is/dnnte

I'm sure this played absolutely no part in Matt and Trey never taking any shots at Joe and Hunter.

I mean we're on season 27 or some shit, right? It exists. It simply is. Expecting every season to be hype is asinine. Some episodes are good, others are ass. Welcome to television.

I don't see Matt and Trey doing that. I see them doing what they have always done. Yeah they lean left a tiny bit. And? They are getting views for Paramount. Their contract is being fufilled. They are doing their jobs. Everyone talking about it here is literally playing into their plan.

They punch left. That is Hollywood in general.
 
Really?

They never went after Biden and Kamahla,
They apologized for going after Gore
They handled Obama with kid gloves.
Probably because of the Mohammed stuff, they realized that they made an evergreen excuse to getting offed. Trump doesn't have people killed, but you know who does...

If we don’t have this and a White supermajority in six months Trump’s presidency is a failure.

Holy shit, a Bravo-Sammich hat trick.

Take heed, Thunderdomers: when Sammich and I agree on something, we are are probably right.
Oh man those are such a hard hit on a guy who Drone Struck Americans, and had the letter agencies run weapons to cartels and terrorists
The guy said South Park never made fun of Obama and I provided evidence to the contrary. Take it however you like, man, but I think it's pretty silly for anyone to get annoyed with whatever South Park is doing. That show is only a few pegs above Saturday Night Live in terms of relevance and quality.

For Christ's sake: they are literally recycling the Saddam bit that they haven't done since 2003 ("It's Christmas in Canada", S7E15). Like Sammich said, it's just lazy.
 
Zelensky might be coming to Alaska
IMG_0594.webp

WASHINGTON — The White House is considering inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Alaska, where President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week, according to a senior U.S. official and three people briefed on the internal discussions.

“It’s being discussed,” one of the people briefed on the discussions said.


The senior U.S. official and people briefed on the discussions said no visit has been finalized and that it’s unclear if Zelenskyy would ultimately be in Alaska for meetings.

The senior administration official said it is “absolutely” possible.

“Everyone is very hopeful that would happen,” the official said.

Asked whether the U.S. had officially invited Zelenskyy to Alaska, a senior White House official said: “The President remains open to a trilateral summit with both leaders. Right now, the White House is focusing on planning the bilateral meeting requested by President Putin.”

The Ukrainian government did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump announced Friday that he is meeting with Putin on Aug. 15 in Alaska as he tries to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine. The White House had initially made a Putin meeting with Zelenskyy a condition for a meeting between Trump and the Russian president to take place, but Trump later said that was not a precondition.

If Zelenskyy were to travel to Alaska, it is not clear if he and Putin would ever be in the same room, one of the people briefed on the discussions said.

The surge in diplomacy aimed at ending the war in Ukraine comes after Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow ahead of a deadline on Friday that the president had set for the Russian leader to agree to a ceasefire or face new sanctions.

Putin has not agreed to a ceasefire but proposed the outlines of an agreement to end the war that would allow Russia to keep large swaths of Ukrainian territory. Zelenskyy said defiantly on Saturday that Ukrainians “will not give their land to occupiers.”

Trump said Friday that between Russia and Ukraine, “there’ll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both.”

Administration officials were working on Saturday to try to gain support for a potential ceasefire from the Ukrainian government and European leaders.

Personally I hope they have an epic WWE-style smackdown to determine who won the war.
