“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!”

      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.

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

    While I find this season hasn’t been terribly well written or even all that funny, I really enjoy watching these episodes. In this time of instability and chaos, it feels somewhat cathartic to see them just go balls-to-the-wall with their insults on these absolute bastards. On a meta level, they seem to be dropping nuance to get reactions from their targets and even hoping to get sued, perhaps looking to shed light on some hypocrisy in their targets. Or maybe they are just Trey and Matt, frustrated at the current political situation and not inclined to give a fuck anymore. Cartman’s confusion is probably just them acknowledging their difficulty parodying people whose entire life is a farce.

    The end credits were a fucking riot, though.

    Illegitimi non carborundum.

      This episode felt like a south park episode. The first was purely an attack on Trump, which may have been necessary, but it’s not a great episode of south park.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

      He is both powerful, yet impotent. He’s got nothing to get them with, and by “getting them” he would be self owning himself because they are daring him to do it with every animated frame.

      They are both worth about a billion dollars. I think they’ll be fine. Consequences are for the poors

        The biggest most scariest thing he will do is then back track, and then he will have Trey and Matt exactly where he wants them /s

            Also when Mike Tyson was convicted of rape, Trump lamented that he was going to prison because he was making so much money with his boxing that he could ‘just give lots of money to rape survivors and be done with it’. He really does believe that money beats everything.

      Trey and Matt are billionaires now. Technically they should be part of Trunps social circle. They can do whatever the fuck they want.
