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!

Also from the article:

Earlier on Thursday, the FCC approved Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global, clearing the way for that merger after Skydance agreed to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and install a watchdog over CBS News. That was on top of the $16 million Paramount paid Trump over the CBS News lawsuit, and the additional $16 million that Trump has said Skydance agreed to pay via those “public service announcements.”

Next thing you know, Joe Wilkinson will be giving them unique names.

Clearly it’s “child sized”

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ooph, that is both an incredibly subtle but also amazingly scathing burn. Some real murdered by words content there. I love how this works in multiple contexts at once.

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The person who posted this reply is a fucking genius.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 day ago

I aim to please.

This was the best part of my week, other than that miso wild rice soup I made. I also got to try my 🏴‍☠️ 🎩 back on.

I also got to try my 🏴‍☠️ 🎩 back on.

It’s higher moral ground than giving money to Paramount

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 34 points 1 day ago

Yup. The creators just made a $1.5 billion deal for streaming rights. I wouldn't worry about it.

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago

From scratch? I'm looking into some miso paste, so I can make my own miso soup

I mean technically a “penis” that small isn’t a penis. So there’s nothing to blur out. Also let’s think business like Trump supposedly does, why would you spend time and resources on something so small? Not worth the cost. We need to conserve time and money.

[–] Hellahunter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The only thing conservatives are conservative about is showing empathy for anyone outside of the cookie-cutter ideal American that only exists in their very odd and often times homo erotic dreams.

Whilst Trump hates this every American citizen not enjoying the (unblurred) presidential pp & would want it blurred is now at risk of deportation.

\s (hopefully)

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I wonder if every episode will just be shitting on Trump?

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I kind of hope so. Just grind his gears and chip away at his fragile fucking ego.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It really would be something. Just a fucking relentless onslaught of obscene caricature and vile innuendo, the occasional blatant reference to proven, or at least previously litigated facts that are more offensive than anything Matt and Trey could invent. They could fuck him up in the public eye, like waaaaaaay worse than this.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It'll pivot to Vance and Thiel once Trump is gone.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They'll introduce a new magical character, Mr Couchy.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could be the first person to predict this and when it happens, I’ll tell people I was there.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Omg, Lemmy reply too so I'll be in the pic when someone screenshots my og comment as prophecy!

But yeah, unfortunately the famous DSC (Mrs Dirty Slutty Couch, a character with a southern accent, over the top sexed up, vary easy to s sit on) that was later featured in two movies won't come to prominence until late 20s (at the time making satire and social comment of the third coup of the year, this time prompted by Vance appointing a literal couch as 'head of congress', a bold move after already introducing to the media The First Couch that lives in the White House).

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

No, def not every imho (they never had long arcs & joke repetition was only in the early episodes iirc), they are doing however an arc & the new romantic couple will def be features more.
So 3 to 5 more episodes of this I would say? Tho they could conclude it all next episode too & later only have background references.
(The ez material is def there.)

I actually missed/expected a few more jokes (I had high hopes bcs this is the new Saddam - I've seen the image with Satan & I was hyped moments before watching the episode) & even more plot, but it seems they only generally set up the new situation & chars in the first episode.
Also it was fairly light (no directly dark stuff), that I thought was automatic with Trump.

So far the only thing they haven't been allowed to show is an image of the prophet Muhammad.
