President Trump said he “may” or “may not” order U.S. forces to attack Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected his call for “unconditional surrender.”

yes

“Freedom of expression for me and not for thee.”

...so basically they figure that the first amendment definitely doesn't apply before you get here.
HEY LISTEN
they're weeding out anyone who naysays them
Exacerangutan
They might get away with it, I guess, but it sure sounds a lot like the federal government instituting regulations that directly and specifically constrain free speech.
HEY LISTEN
oh it's a 1A violation for sure
HEY LISTEN
but it's something the courts will have to slam them for
Exacerangutan
The Funny Timeline would be where they apply that to all citizens and then they all get deported for their hostility toward the founding principles of the United States.
Exacerangutan
really tho the unmitigated gall of citing "hostility towards the citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States" as your excuse to explicitly laugh in the face of the 1st amendment while also literally attacking the citizens and demolishing the government and institutions is just
Exacerangutan
idek, it's almost too on-the-nose for satire, which usually benefits from being as on-the-nose as possible
skipthedemon
I've felt like satire is dead since at least mid 2017.
Exacerangutan
it's definitely been getting very hard to find any room between "that's too obvious even for a joke" and "oh that's literally what actually happened"
Exacerangutan
so I'd say not dead but certainly on life support

dug up some context, and this was their opinion about the idea of writing something about politics in 2024 and 2025:
ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴ ꜱʜᴏᴘɢɪʀʟ
In a rare interview with Vanity Fair, Parker and Stone revealed that, rather than expose themselves and South Park to the possibility of another unwanted four-year character arc, they’d rather retire from ridiculing the upcoming election as well as its candidates, with Parker commenting, “I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”

Ohio lawmakers seek to ban abortions in the state, treat the procedure as homicide

❝ D a t a ❞
Reps. Levi Dean (R-Xenia) and Jonathan Newman (R-Troy) introduced the “Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act” on Wednesday, which would grant embryos and fetuses the same legal protections as citizens under state law from the moment of fertilization.

Under the bill, having an abortion could lead to homicide charges. The proposed ban only grants exceptions for “life-saving procedures” on pregnant women and spontaneous miscarriages.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has approved the world’s only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV, the first step in an anticipated global rollout that could protect millions – although it’s unclear how many in the U.S. and abroad will get access to the powerful new option.

Brooklyn Park's crime reputation has been going down lately, but damn, that was not a part of the city I was expecting someone to try to break and enter. it's a firmly middle class neighborhood with sleepy side streets where the only traffic is with stray residents and their guests

I hope they don't need to keep law enforcement vehicles stationed in front of it for too long. (there are currently a couple such vehicles parked on the street nearby right now. I saw as I passed through the neighborhood.)
