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!

"South Park" is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too.

The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, "Got A Nut," which aired on Aug. 6.

The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he's desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, "We don't ask for experience, just show up!"

"Pummels"? Is that better or worse that "eviscerates"? What about "skull fucks"?

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Man, this "irrelevant show" has been making headlines every week now...

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

25 minute episode makes a headlines everyday until the next episode comes out which oddly enough isn't each week because of how culturally relevant the episodes are the fucking president threatened their network.

I don't know that there's ever been a more culturally relevant show... Even back when they're only like three channels.

A good thing for Kristi Noem and me. I would not have known about her methods otherwise.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

This is the 14 month old puppy Kristi bragged about shooting. She then shot a pet goat that “disgusted” her.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

That dog deserved a better life.

[–] Tiffany1994@lemmy.cafe 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Poor dog. Only 14 months old? Sometimes I lose faith in humanity.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yep I’m right there with you

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love how JD Vance came to the bedroom with Trump and Satan and said 'would you like me to apply baby oil to zee asshole?' in a stupid French accent. It was hilarious! Yes I know the whole part was a reference to Fantasy Island, it was hilarious

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

I keep re-watching that part over and over again cause it’s so damn funny.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago

I'm starting to think they're doing this on purpose.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This is all such a circus. But we are not getting the bread, well a very small portion of us are getting it all, and a few places are holding the vast majority of the rest of the wealth among their peons.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

The Vance character is fucking hilarious. Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island is spot on. Also the eyeliner, fat checks and Trump fluffing. Not to mention putting lube on Satan so Trump can fuck him. Perfect.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net -3 points 6 days ago

I feel like this episode was really bad. Unfunny, making fun of random unfunny things, and going away from the plot of the first episode. I hope they do better for the next one

[–] AgaveInMyAss@lemmy.world 99 points 1 week ago (9 children)

To be honest the funniest part of that whole episode was Vance. I lost my shit at the end when he came up.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 99 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Go back and look at Mar a Lago's couches.

The fact they did a fantasy island gag was perfect. Not many got the joke.

Noem's face crawling across the floor was horrifyingly fantastic. And the dogs...
