The episode’s plot revolves around Trump suing anyone who doesn’t agree with him -- including the town of South Park, who protest a mandatory appearance of Jesus Christ as part of the president’s push for Christianity in classrooms. The show also takes aim at CBS for settling with the Trump administration to smooth the Paramount-CBS merger, and canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In between opening and closing scenes, the show depicts Trump firing a portrait artist for drawing his penis in actual size, wanting to have sex with Satan (who is more interested in releasing the Epstein files), and various wall paintings in the White House of Trump engaging in sex with a sheep, using a glory hole, and firing drones and missiles via his groin.
During a Q & A at San Diego Comic Con, SP creator Trey Parker said the decision to include Trump’s anatomical part took four days to resolve with corporate, and was only cleared when the creators added googly eyes to Trump’s penis to make it a “character,” and therefore could not be blurred out.
CBSwants you to know that canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has nothing -- absolutely nothing -- to do with politics, presidential tantrums, or settling lawsuits with the most thin-skinned man in America. Nope. It’s purely about money. Just cold, hard capitalism. And if you believe that, we have a $16 million '60 Minutes' interview settlement we’d like to sell you.
The network that once stood behind fearless journalism is now bravely running for the hills, ducking behind PowerPoint slides about “market headwinds” and “late-night fatigue” ...
Sure, Colbert consistently beat his competition in ratings, but CBS says the show just couldn’t pay for itself anymore. Apparently truthiness now comes with a price tag, and it was just slightly more than CBS could afford -- especially while trying to merge with Skydance, whose prospective boss is the son of a billionaire Trump cheerleader. Nothing suspicious about that! Just a normal American coincidence.
CBS insists it’s not political even as it slams the door on one of Trump’s most prominent satirical critics -- right after paying hush money to the former-now-current president in the form of a legal settlement, like a mobster paying protection fees. “It’s just business,” they say.
Rob Rogers -- who knows all about censorship in the name of protecting T-Pain's fragile ego -- does double duty this week.
Your GOP Congressionl members are going on vacation, they won't be hosting any town halls, and they aren't taking any questions about you-know-who.
Nine of ten toons Mike Ramirez draws are insufferably conservative. But even a MAGA pig can occasionally dig up a truffle.
Some famous people passed away this week. One was a POS MAGA racist and he can rest in piss. The other I liked despite him being a Zionist. I had mostly blamed his wife for that because of his dependency on her, but that only extends so far.
Trump's War on Knowledge received additional funding and weaponry from Congress, and the bombing campaign intensified. Elmo briefly went rogue as an alt-right QAnon MAGA stooge but was rescued and deprogrammed. The Sesame Street gang pissed off -- and gearing up to fight back, I hope -- as opposed to another picture of them mourning Big Bird's head on a platter suits my mood.
Yeah, we're all getting flooded out, and nobody in charge is gonna save us.
Maybe we'll have better choices next year. A Quinnipiac poll from this past week reveals that 49% of Americans 'would consider' (loaded question) voting for a third party. No, not that one.
Reality distortion? Fascist fatigue? Or a brief moment of clarity?
Colbert lost me years ago with his neoliberal evolution, but CBS taking a hard right turn and calling it business, not personal just doesn't wash.
Sometimes the toons just can't be funny given the state of current events. This isn't one of those weeks. The wheels certainly came off for Trump and his cabinet of sycophants, but the gas tank also exploded and the airbags blew up in their faces. And as awful as it has been for Central Texas campers, migrant families, and the Americans who love them, the cartoonists cracked wise at the expense of our hapless, corrupt officials in all the ways they richly deserved.
If you’re brought to tears by images of waterlogged stuffies and want to know who is to blame for the deadly Hill Country floods, Gov. Greg Abbott doesn’t want to hear it. “That's the word choice of losers," Abbott said when asked by a reporter who was responsible for the devastation. As our governor tells it, the July 4th flood was less a preventable tragedy and more a fumbled play under the Friday night lights. “Know this, every football team makes mistakes,” he said. “The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who's to blame.’” So dry those eyes and rub some dirt on it. Coach Abbott is here to focus on results -- just don’t expect him to review the game tape.
The forces of evil in a Bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in the bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job
The daytime crap with the folksinger slop
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing
Gotta get right if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef, for the body, for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheeze Whiz)
🚨 While Texas families called FEMA to report missing children, Kristi Noem remained in Washington for five days, posting on Instagram, attending ceremonies, and delaying contract approvals, leaving thousands of calls unanswered during the state’s deadliest floods, according to… pic.twitter.com/9Nonbt6Tq0

Kristi the Gnome has proven incapable of doing her job. Clay Jones does a masterful takedown of her shortcomings, but beyond the hilarity of her vacuous incapability is the fact that Texans calling for help in the wake of the flood couldn’t find any.
The City of Angels is under siege from an ICE storm. Bradmanaged several related toons and even worked Lalo Alcaraz in, but somehow overlooked the travesty in his own barrio.
Who would Jesus deport? Worse question: Who would deport Jesus? Why, Christian conservative Republicans, of course. Zionists would just bomb the concentration camp where He had fled.
King T has decreed that no one shall speak of his former best friend and pedophile, but unlike the files that have *allegedly* gone missing from AG Bondi's desk, that topic isn't going to be censored.
Ken Paxton is getting a D-I-V-O-R-C-E. It's bitter. Not their split; the reaction from MAGA toward state Senator Angela, whom they deem a saboteur of his US Senate bid against John Cornhen. Try to imagine being so radicalized that you think K-Pax becoming USAG would be bad because it makes Corn Dog's path to re-election easier.
Long time Paxton mistress Laura Olson updates her Instagram bio to: " You can't always get what you want. But I can." Shortly after the announcement of his wife's divorce filing.https://t.co/lHegxup78epic.twitter.com/cUedvTUFBC
And the Texas Lege reconvenes in short order to take up a few pressing concerns, like a bathroom bill, redistricting urban Democrats further out of power, and (maybe) outlawing cannabis gummies. Ban Patrick is undoubtedly stressed out about having to kneel to the Fumbling QB.
In this two-party system, a third party should begin by running as a second party. Seventy percent of the 76,902 elections held in the United States are uncontested, meaning that the number of candidates on the ballot is less than or equal to the number of seats up for election. Whether it's for state senate, city council or county coroner, unchallenged incumbents always win.
Seventy-eight percent of law enforcement elections have one candidate on the ballot.
So if reform/progress is still possible via elections -- a tenuous prospect on its best day -- people who care about that need to shift into high gear. You know, as with the climate crisis, building independent media, and a handful of other things.
The unspeakable tragedy of the Central Texas flooding unfolds an ongoing horror visited on the girls of Camp Mystic, the holiday RV community, the rescuers performing recovery, and the friends, families, and their grieving support network this morning.
A Kerrville campground manager reported that 36 occupied RVs and 11 tiny homes were swept away in minutes during the deadly Texas flooding, leaving people screaming for help. pic.twitter.com/roUOUhkL19
The blame game is fully engaged; I'll avoid editorializing on that for this post. Some of the toons gathered over the past week just aren't very humorous. Like this one from Clay Jones, for example.
I wasn't really vibing the freedom or liberty or independence from tyranny on Friday before the rains came. The 'No Kings 2.0' protest in H-Town was ... well, read all about it.
No one told Diana Nizza that #Houston's #July4th protest against the Trump administration was canceled when its organizers did not get a permit in time. She was one of dozens who showed up outside of City Hall with banners and megaphones anyway https://t.co/opaNw4jvf7
From the article: "As a Democrat in Texas, I'm accustomed to my candidate losing. I'm a very good loser ..." Ted Rall, once again, speaking for me.
July 4th will see the second “No Kings” protests across the U.S. against Trump and his haughty style of governance. Once again, the soft American Left forgets the lessons of the 1960s and indulges in a performative series of demonstrations with no chance of striking fear in the hearts of the ruling class. Effective protest movements are sustained, happening frequently -- even daily -- while inconveniencing and terrorizing the rich and powerful with the fear that nonviolence might give way to real disruption. Gathering every few weeks, on a Saturday or national holiday when businesses and government offices are closed, while promising to remain peaceful, is a sad misdirection of organization and energy that ought instead to be directed into building a real Left opposition.
C'mon, Ted; the "Left", as defined by the corporate media and MAGA, seems to do a fine job of mobilizing against the actual left every time it rises.
Yeah, something the home of the brave something. So I hope you were careful if you shot off your fireworks. Somebody -- your smartphone, your smart teevee -- is always listening, you know.
And crocodiles. Jeff and Lauren have departed Venice for their honeymoon, but let's all do whatever we can to not let them detach from reality and enjoy it.
