    “I thought the parody was just in bad form and certainly, certainly bad timing,” Homan said on Cuomo.

    Boo-fucking-hoo you ghoul

    This is so absolutely absurd. The fucking US government is making public statements about a fucking cartoon that made fun of them. I guess the real snowflakes were the friends they make along the way.

      It was always projection, they have always been incompetent, corrupt, hateful cowards.

      Fascists, but I repeat myself.

      It might just be to distract from the Epstein files. It’s too stupid to be legitimate.

    Remember that Donald Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and that all his administration officials are protecting him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Homan himself fucked a few kids during his career.

    Bad journalism, you’re not supposed to be able to “dox agents.” They aren’t spies.

    Public reaction to immigration raids has mainly been adverse and spurred some attacks on ICE agents, including doxxing incidents in which people have shared information about the person behind the ICE uniform.

    Have they? I’ve heard of the waymos getting torched and a few cars, but just stuff.

    Some ICE agents have also become targets of violent physical attacks and Molotov cocktail attacks.

    Do they really expect anyone to give a fuck?

    Fuck the Gestapo I hope they step on legos for the rest of their (hopefully very short) lives.

    It’s wild that South Park of all shows is being considered #resistance by libs now. Of all the television shows that impacted mass culture during the 2000s, it’s probably the most responsible for raising a generation of reactionaries. I don’t know what it’s like now, but for a decade the joke was “this character is [demographic] and that’s wrong”. I remember entire special education classes being mocked by quotes from that show as they tried to eat lunch. It’s the most Burger Reich piece of media out there.

      I consider it a bellwether for reactionaries. So if South Park is getting explicit in its criticism of Trump, it’s a good general cultural sign against Trump and MAGA

        That’s the thing that makes it so insidious to me. South Park was culturally relevant around the same time 4chan was but it didn’t speak to that audience despite them being comedically and ideologically adjacent. It always posited itself as a common sense centrist show, acting as a judas goat to lure liberals into reactionary views as the broader media landscape was starting to trend away from those things. I see MAGA as growing directly out of that 4chan vein of right-wing cultural influences. South Park spawned something broader than that for a larger audience.

    Well guess who’s gonna be in the next episode now, evil perma-drunk racist grandpa who either can’t figure out how dentures work or has CTE?
