Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
I mean we do understand they will be arrested obviously.
I wonder if people are starting to get it, I wonder if people are starting to realize whats actually happening.
If not arrested certainly and for sure the guy in control of Paramount+ who is a maga will shut down the show.

But you could tell she knew it was inevitable that she would be targeted.

(1,951 posts)But you know they're feverishly working on how they can pressure Paramount to drop them. They can't block the merger like they did to get rid of Colbert. I'm thinking there will just be a huge cash bribe paid by the government directly to Paramount execs, since the Trump has unlimited bribe money in the US Treasury now and CEOs have unlimited greed. Sure that's probably illegal but anyone who would enforce the law is owned by Trump too.

At the current rate of unravelling, they are going to have a lot more to worry about than South Park.

(34,296 posts)And a close friend of mine says the same thing to me and I just dont get it, how does it unravel when you control the entire military, the FBI, the department of justice, Supreme Court and most of the other courts?
Theres no unraveling that happens to someone that has that much power. Even if a third of Maga turn on him and it would never be more than that, so what. Hell put them in prison too not just us but them too.
This is why I say I dont think most people realize where we actually are.

(8,303 posts)They are so thin skinned, the best response to me would be to laugh at the gags. It would take the air out of the insults.
Maybe come up with some self depreciating humor in response.
But they wont
