South Park writers are Liberals now?
I mean... they've been making fun of everyone except Libertarians for decades, but I guess in the recent years they've been pretty anti-Trump.
...but Trump deserves it for ruining the Member Berry season of South Park
I'd say their episode about trans women in sports was pretty fucking right-wing, but it seems like even "liberals" are jumping on that bandwagon now.
Noem and Trump have to realize one very important thing.
Matt and Trey don't give a shit and no one is off limits.
I find it extremely funny that they did not censor the credits roll.
Like, I legit laughed at that as much as any of the other actual jokes in the 2 episodes so far.
They were more afraid of Scientology than the Trump admin, both of which are notoriously litigious.
Meanwhile JD celebrates being made fun of on South Park and Kirk changed his Twitter profile pic to Cartman doing Kirk's schtick.
Maybe Noem needs to chill the fuck out.
Always wondered who the people who thought cartman was a role model were
Probably some overlap with Homelander fans in that venn.
funny thing is boyz satarizes trump and and the right wingers.
Oh, those two aren't "chilled out" about it either, they just have to pretend it doesn't bother them so they don't get mocked even more. They've learned this from previous, similar, situations.
I stand corrected, people being dragged away in handcuffs to be deported to places they will probably die in, is fucking hilarious, but making fun of plastic surgery is radical liberal brainrot. got it Barbie!
plastic surgery is not how humans look, but aliens wearing human skin.
Trans people get plastic surgery too :(
And? There's plastic surgery and then there is the fake plastic look. Not all plastic surgery makes you look like a lizard person in a suit.
Oh that's rich.
I feel like it's only fair to insult peoples' appearances when they chose to look like that. She chose it several times. Get her ass lmao
Yes, yes, it's always the liberals, Krusty, we heard you the first time.
That POS can go degrade somewhere else. In any sane country she would be in jail. What a monster.
Libertarians are fluffers for Conservative fascism. Where as they'll accuse progressives of being PC-Police, and attempt damaging philosophical criticisms there, when it comes to Conservativism they tend to go soft. Only giving marginal personal critiques, because Libertarians and Conservatives both want to remove regulations and rights. They both want less laws and reprocussions. Less protections for the vulnerable. More markets and moneyed companies in control.
Liberals don't make fun of women for how they look. Liberals make fun of fools who waste their money to look like mannequins
I find it interesting that that's the part she cares about, not the rest of it.
she was depicted as a puppy-shooting, Botox-using ICE agent who arrests anyone suspected of being Hispanic. She raids a local production of “Dora the Explorer Live!” and sports oversized, plump lips.
The episode also depicted Vance as an annoying man-baby who gets kicked around (literally) by Donald Trump. Vance responded on X by posting: “Well, I’ve made it.”
We're going to watch it this weekend, so I didn't dive too deeply.
NGL, probably the best response for finding out you're depicted on south park. Still don't want him or anyone even tangentially associated with peter thiel in office tho.
... How they paid to look.
Noem paid someone maybe even hundreds of dollars - and took time off work - to look like that.
To quote liberal Amber Ruffin when shown a picture of Kristi Noem circa 2012ish on an episode of Have I Got News For You: "oh my god, she's actually beautiful."
Look, body dismorphia is a thing. Women in public are critizised for aging normally. No getting around that, but that doesn't mean we can just ignore the fact that when ignoring the option of therapy, she asked for "Sad 90's Pornstar Face #44283" at the bargain basement plastic surgeon as a way to win favor in with the GOP.
And she was beautiful. Look at this.
But then she somehow felt the need to turn into plastic conservative barbie and I don't understand why. And I can't honestly believe that (conservative) men prefer the current face over the previous one, even when she 'ages normally,' as if that's a problem in the first place.
Yeah, but conservatives only see women as stay at home submissive non-voting breeding stock.
No mention of the constant dog shooting in the episode….
Die in fire Kristi Noem
Facts dont care about her feelings
