Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan

South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.

The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.

Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.

The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.

That will directly download for people who don't realize.

Also, that is in the actual show, it isn't cut at all. I streamed it a little bit ago.

It looks cut to me. So small it's hard to tell though.

South Park: Smaller, Shorter, and Cut

Normally don't like making dick jokes, but they already laid that one out

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm disappointed they didn't have him wearing a diaper.

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

With so much to make fun of him for, it kind of feels tacky to punch down on people that have to wear diapers to me, idk. I don’t think we should make fun of people for medical conditions, that’s a quick slide into making fun of people with disabilities etc.

But on the other hand he’s obviously insecure about it and I’m on board with bullying trump about anything he’s insecure about, so I’m stuck in this ethical quandary here.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

There's a dozen things that you shouldn't reasonably make fun of. Balding, obesity, swollen ankles, micropenises, incontinence, dementia, and so on. But it's Trump. If I could think up a slight about him breathing air, and it really pissed him off, I would totally share it.

OMG, they made it talk!

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

This gives me a 404.

I should probably be thankful for this.

Thank you. Downloading for posterity.

I LOVE The Constitution and Humor (Trump is the FUNNIEST Person on the "Planet") but Matt Stone and "Trey" Parker need to be DEPORTED for This! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

[–] Haus@kbin.earth 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On one hand, this is pretty 'leopards ate my face.' On the other hand, I fully expect them to get their pound of flesh, and then some on this issue.

Update: 9 minutes into this episode. Yup. I approve.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They certainly aren’t blameless in the story of how we got to where we are now, but I do appreciate and think it’s commendable that these two have realized the danger we’re in and changed their tune. It’s not exactly on brand for them to portray anyone real as outright evil besides Streisand and Saddam. Debatably John Edwards

Granted I haven’t watched the show since right before Randy started selling weed so maybe I’m remembering South Park wrong

Having watched it without contributing a dime to Paramount, I have to say that was amazing.

The AI video was amazing.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Ya. Lemmy won’t let me post the word F agg ot.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

The Guardian has contacted the Stone, Parker and the White House for comment.

Nice.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago

I was sorta wondering how the whole season ended up all on paramount given how they have felt about the distribution but now I get that they wanted it. all of it. to be all on paramount.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
