    I never understood their incompetence, like across the board. How hard is it to know what class counts to a degree? And if they fuck it up, there are no repercussions and the student is put behind.

    Wow, you just assume I didn't read an article. Nothing in the opinion piece says anything of substance. It's saying don't bother because it's a nuisance. If we don't fact check, than lies are put out as fact. If Harris lied, call her out, if Trump lied, call him out. They are pesididential candidates, they should be held to higher standards than some random Youtuber.

    If I say Australia landed on the moon last night, and no one checks the story out, are people to assume I told the truth? If No one checks out stories and opinions, than anything becomes a reality that just simply doesn't exist.





  • Ok, so it was Garrison in orange makeup, blond hair, Trump like voice and happened to be an asshole president. There is no winking and nodding, they are shoving it right in your face. You are just being pedantic, saying it wasn't. It was a stand in, to 100% without a doubt, represent Trump.

    They didn't use "actual" Trump because that would require some weird plot devices to use on a constant basis when it's easier to use an existing character who has a history of being different people. It was done this way because it was funnier. Obama and Clinton and everyone else are used so sparingly that they could be the actual people because it made sense.

    In regards to them being scared, have you seen how nutty the ultra MAGA right are? I'd be nervous portraying Trump too due to him being a giant crybaby and risk lawsuits, lawsuits that could risk my paycheck. They were never afraid of anyone else getting up in arms because everyone else knows how to take a joke, or at least knows enough not to piss off the public by going after the show. At the end of the day, they weren't scared enough to not do it. They felt that they had run the gag long enough and decided to move on.
