I finally caught up with the two South Park episodes last night. Not for everyone, but if you don't mind extremely inappropriate, sophomoric humor, the takedowns of Trump, Noem, and Vance were great. Vance was portrayed as Tattoo from Fantasy Island (Mar-a-Lago), and Noem was portrayed as someone who compulsively shoots every dog she sees and orders a raid on a Dora the Explorer show. Those are the parts I can mention on a family blog like Scott's. The rest is very NSFW.

The best part about it, though, and why it's bad news for Trump: It is being aired on Paramount.

"It is being aired on Paramount."

That and the fact that Matt Stone & Trey Parker do not give one f***!

They are in it to win it and they are doing a fine job of torching the contemptibly performative, villianous, corrupted/corruptible, evil yet somehow incompetent fools employed by the current maladministration created and orchestrated by the pretender in cheese and his compadres!

I applaud Stone and Parker's generational appeal, portraying the true characteristics of the Trump Administration. Their corporate success with Paramount, while taking Trump down, is delightful!

His father was a ruthless dictator. Trump emulated him, and did everything he could to avoid the abuse that was rained down on his older brother.

Putin? Or one of Putin’s doubles? Would he risk getting arrested?

WHY is Trump negotiated with a WAR CRIMINAL?

• Putin violated the United Nations Charter, The Budapest Treaty and the United States policy by invading Ukraine.

• Trump doesn’t want to help Ukraine. He wants to help RUSSIA!

No.. meeting at this location has a purpose that our American way of thinking cannot fathom. Putin always has a strategy when he meets with Trump. Or he’s giving Trump his marching orders for the further destruction of our government. Like Hillary warned us on live TV .. “Trump is Putin’s puppet!”

I understand that animals do not like trump. They no like him. Will there be a grizzly attack upon the pretender in cheese?

If nothing else THAT would get him some positive ratings. Especially if the grizzly is recorded sporting a satisfied, vaguely orange, ursine smile. A koolaid smile, if you will.

“A koolaid smile”! I love it!!

Grizzlies are pissed - he’s weakened/effectively ended wildlife protections, endangered or not. I hope one of the remaining grizzlies gets their paws on him when no one is around to stop it. ;)

Annie Farmer is so brave and eloquent. And she cuts through the mess with razor-sharp clarity that everyone loses sight of:

“I hate that it has been politicized the way it is because I think we lose sight of the bigger picture,” survivor Annie Farmer said. “I think this is really about people using their power to harm others, and that is not a political issue.”

That’s all trump does: use his power to harm. There are victims here!

Thanks for giving her voice an outlet, Scott. Invaluable.

I posted this, yesterday, on the "contact us" page at WhiteHouse.Gov......

"Trump agreeing to Putin’s demand that Russia be able keep Ukrainian territory would be prima facie evidence that Trump is the weakest President the United States has EVER had and would prove to EVERY American that Trump is Putin’s Puppet."

"Donald, what dirt does Vlad have on you?"

It’s not a peace talk, it’s a propaganda photo shoot. Leaving Ukraine out of “negotiations” about Ukraine is like holding a custody hearing with only the kidnapper present. All it does is legitimize Putin’s land grab and give Trump a distraction from his own scandals.
